Hoya Pubicalyx red dragon 6213

🦊 Hoya pubicalyx ‘Red Dragon’ is a vigorous, fast-growing vine native to the Philippines, loved for its glossy, lance-shaped leaves splashed with silvery flecks that shimmer under light. When mature, new foliage often flushes deep maroon before turning dark green — giving the plant its “dragon-like” fiery look. Its twining stems and trailing habit make it perfect for trellises, hanging baskets, or tall planters.
FLOWER DETAILS
This variety produces dramatic clusters of star-shaped flowers — deep burgundy to near-black corollas with contrasting bright red coronas. The blooms are waxy, richly fragrant (especially at night), and long-lasting, often appearing multiple times a year on mature plants.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light or gentle morning sun enhances variegation and triggers blooming.
💧 Water: Allow 60–70 % of the soil to dry before watering; avoid soggy conditions.
🌡️ Humidity: 50–70 % ideal; higher humidity promotes lush foliage and steady flowering.
🪴 Soil: Airy, fast-draining mix of orchid bark, perlite, and coco husk.
🏺 Potting: Use a snug pot and provide a hoop or trellis; repot every 2–3 years to refresh the mix.
🌱 Growth rate: Fast; vines can reach 2 m+ indoors under bright light.
🐾 Pet friendly: Non-toxic, though best kept away from pets due to trailing stems.
