Hoya sp. UT Mindalao 6298

Hoya sp. UT Mindanao 🌿 — Scientific name: Hoya sp. ‘UT Mindanao’ (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae). An undescribed Philippine Hoya reportedly collected from Mindanao, it presents as a slender, vining epiphyte with firm, glossy green leaves and a tidy internode spacing; foliage shape is typically elliptic to ovate with a clean, refined look that suits minimalist displays. Native to humid tropical forests, it thrives when given airy roots and bright, gentle light.
FLOWER DETAILS
Like many Philippine Hoya, blooms form in rounded umbels of star-shaped flowers; tones are usually creamy to soft pink with a contrasting central crown and a light, sweet fragrance. Expect intermittent blooming in warm seasons once the vine is mature and settled, with peduncles reblooming over time.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; a few hours of soft morning sun is beneficial.
💧 Water: Let the top 30–40% of the mix dry; water thoroughly, then drain well. Reduce in cool, low-light periods.
🌡️ Humidity: Prefers 55–75%; tolerates average indoor levels but blooms better with added humidity.
🪴 Soil: Very airy, fast-draining mix (orchid bark + chunky perlite + coco chips + a little peat/coir).
🏺 Potting: Use a snug pot with excellent drainage; repot lightly every 1–2 years to refresh the medium.
🌱 Growth rate: Moderate under warm, bright conditions; supports or trellises help tidy, upward growth.
🐾 Pet friendly: Generally regarded as non-toxic to pets; discourage chewing.
