Latin name: Hoya lacunosa ‘Mint’ 🌿
Common name: Wax Plant ‘Lacunosa Mint’
Origin: Southeast Asia — Thailand and Malaysia. This particular clone is a cultivated variant prized for its pale mint-green foliage and compact trailing habit.
Standout traits: Small, elliptic leaves with a cool mint cast, slightly sunken (“lacunose”) veins, and a dense cascading form. Foliage matures into a soft green-silver tone, perfect for bright, airy interiors.
FLOWER DETAILS
Clusters of star-shaped, creamy white blooms with yellow centers and a velvety texture. The flowers release a rich, honey-vanilla scent at night, especially in warm conditions. Delicate yet prolific once the plant settles.
