Hoya sp. ‘Tangamus’ is a captivating climbing or trailing wax plant believed to originate from Sumatra, Indonesia (Tanggamus region). Loved by collectors for its thick, glossy leaves and vining habit, it forms elegant cascades from shelves or hanging planters. New growth emerges tender and bright, maturing to a rich green sheen that pairs beautifully with minimalist interiors.
FLOWER DETAILS
Mature plants produce umbels of star-shaped blooms with a soft, porcelain look—typically creamy to pale pink corollas and a contrasting darker corona. Flowers are lightly fragrant in warm conditions and can open successively during the growing season, adding a refined, jewel-like accent to the foliage.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; a few hours of gentle morning sun encourages flowering.
💧 Water: Allow 60–70% of the mix to dry before watering; avoid constantly wet soil.
🌡️ Humidity: Prefers 55–75%; steady humidity supports bud retention.
🪴 Soil: Airy epiphytic mix (orchid bark, perlite, coco chips, a touch of peat) for fast drainage.
🏺 Potting: Slightly snug pots are ideal; repot every 2–3 years or when roots circle. Provide a hoop/trellis for climbing or let it trail.
🌱 Growth Rate: Moderate; quicker in warm, bright conditions.
🐾 Pet friendly: Generally considered non-toxic to pets (spines none; still discourage chewing).
