Hoya Endauensis
Hoya endauensis is a unique and lesser-known species of Hoya, originally found in the Endau-Rompin region of Malaysia, from which it gets its name. This species is part of the Apocynaceae family and is known for its striking foliage and beautiful flowers. Here’s a brief overview of Hoya endauensis:
Key Features:
-
Leaves: The leaves are typically more rigid and thicker than many other Hoyas, with a bright green color. They may have a waxy or slightly glossy texture.
-
Flowers: Hoya endauensis produces clusters of small, star-shaped flowers. The blooms are typically yellow to orange in color with a sweet fragrance, similar to other Hoyas.
-
Growth Habit: Like other Hoyas, it's a climbing or trailing plant, making it ideal for hanging baskets or climbing supports indoors.
Care Tips:
-
Light: Bright, indirect sunlight is ideal. Direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may prevent blooming.
-
Watering: Since it's a semi-succulent, it doesn't need frequent watering. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to avoid root rot.
-
Humidity: High humidity levels (around 60-80%) are beneficial, especially in drier indoor environments.
-
Temperature: It prefers warm temperatures (between 18-26°C) and should not be exposed to temperatures below 10°C.
It’s a highly sought-after plant for collectors due to its rare availability and striking appearance. If you plan on offering it on TOMs FLOWer CLUB, it will certainly attract attention from Hoya enthusiasts!
