Hoya Verticillata ‘Thai Nguyen’ Variegated 6442

Hoya Verticillata ‘Thai Nguyen’ Variegated 🌿 — Scientific name: Hoya verticillata (cultivar ‘Thai Nguyen’ variegata, Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae). This highly ornamental form, linked to the Southeast Asian Hoya verticillata / acuta complex, is cherished for its elongated, slightly pointed leaves with bright creamy to white variegation that can blush pink on fresh growth. The foliage often shows a strong contrast between rich green and luminous margins, carried on slender, climbing or trailing vines that lend a refined, tropical look to trellises, hoops, or hanging planters in bright indoor spaces.
FLOWER DETAILS
Like other Hoya verticillata forms, it produces rounded clusters of waxy, star-shaped flowers in soft cream to pale yellow with a warm pinkish-red center and a light, sweet fragrance. Blooms arise on persistent peduncles and may appear several times through the warmer months once the plant is mature and settled, creating a delicate contrast against the bold variegated foliage.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light with a few hours of gentle morning sun to maintain strong variegation.
💧 Water: Allow the top 40–50% of the mix to dry before watering; keep evenly moist but never soggy.
🌡️ Humidity: Prefers 55–75%; benefits from steady humidity for stable growth and flowering.
🪴 Soil: Airy, fast-draining epiphytic mix (orchid bark, chunky perlite, coco chips, and light organic matter).
🏺 Potting: Use a snug pot with excellent drainage and provide a trellis or hoop; refresh the mix every 1–2 years.
🌱 Growth rate: Moderate; vines extend steadily with good light, while variegated leaves may grow a bit slower than green forms.
🐾 Pet friendly: Generally regarded as non-toxic to cats and dogs, though chewing is best discouraged.
