Hoya obovata Variegata
This variegated version of Hoya obovata is a fast-growing plant with waxy, green leaves that have yellow variegation in the center of each leaf with splashes of white throughout. Easy to flower and slightly fragrant, the pink bloom clusters appear in summer. Grow in a partially sunlit window in a hanging basket or in a pot with a trellis for support. Flowering and variegation are dependent on the intensity of light. This beautiful, easy-care hoya is treasured by rare plant collectors.
Hoya obovata requires consistently bright indirect light to thrive. In their natural habitat, the plants grow up among trees and receive filtered dappled light.
Outdoors, keep the plant away from harsh, direct sun to prevent sunburn.
Hoya obovata is very sensitive to overwatering and should be allowed to dry out thoroughly between waterings. The frequency of watering for your Hoya obovata depends on a variety of factors such as the amount of light it receives, the type of pot (plastic, ceramic, terracotta), the potting mixture, and the season. Wait until the soil has dried out and then water thoroughly. In the fall and winter months, reduce the amount of water while the plant is in dormancy.
