Hoya Callistophylla
The Hoya Callistophylla, popular for its pronounced black venation, is a striking plant for any collection, and a must for those obsessed with Hoyas. Native to Borneo, this is a epiphytic plant which climbs and tendrils other larger plants. It also produces dark pink and white flowers, which smell like citrus and vanilla.
When grown indoors this plant enjoys lots of light, thriving best under grow lights or near a window that sees the sun for most of the day. Hoyas typically have small root systems compared to the size of the plant, and are best grown in chunky soil to suit their epiphytic habits. We recommend watering when the pot feels lighter and the soil is noticeably dry - Hoyas don't like wet feet!
However, they do propagate quickly in water and can root in several places along the main stem. Known to be a steady grower, this is a plant which can be easily cut back and shared with friends.
