Product info
Hoya verticillata comes from India and Malaysia where it grows on trees in the rain forest. The original plant which Araflora has used for propagation came from the near the border between Laos and China. Hoya verticillata flowers in spring, producing a spray of blooms that can consist of 30-50 individual flowers. It gives off a strong, sweet scent particularly in the evening and grows quickly.
Plant care
Hoya verticillata is a strong plant suitable for a terrarium or simply as a house plant. In its natural setting, Hoya verticallata loses half of its leaves in the dry season and therefore needs a considerable amount of light in its dormant phase. If placed behind glass it can withstand direct sunlight. It should be planted in a well-drained potting medium and fed once a week during the growing period. It is unlikely to be affected by pests or diseases, although it may become infected with mealy bugs if the level of humidity is too low, especially in winter.
