Hoya Icensis

$19.99
Title

A rare, rewarding climbing and trailing epiphyte highly prized by collectors for its unique, succulent foliage and its ability to flower much faster than other Hoya species. A signature feature is its distinctive dark margin tracing the leaf edge, often accompanied by subtle silver flecking or "splash" across the rich green surface.

It produces tight, rounded star-shaped flower clusters. The flowers feature reflexed white to pale yellow corollas with vibrant pink-to-maroon centers. They emit a strong, sweet fragrance which intensifies in the evening.
