Hoya macrophylla Borneo Ø10.5cm

Hoya macrophylla 'Borneo' - epiphytic vine from Borneo with large leaves (up to 20 cm), thick and leathery, with five prominent parallel veins (cinnamon pattern). Bicoloured flowers - lime + burgundy corona, intense sweet scent. Needs support. Ø10.5cm pot. Care instructions Light: bright indirect (~10,000-20,000 lux), filtered. 1-1.5 m from an east/west window or behind a curtain on a south-facing window. No direct sun, which can scorch the large, thick lamina. Temperature: optimal 18-24°C. Avoid exposure below 10-15°C - tropical species sensitive to cold. Watering: moderate, let the substrate dry 60-80% between waterings. Summer every 7-10 days, winter every 14-20 days. Thick leaves retain water - the plant is sensitive to over-watering. Humidity: 60-80% ideal; tolerates drops to 50% if the substrate is well-drained. Substrate: airy, epiphytic - a mix of medium pine bark (50%), natural sphagnum (20%), perlite (20%), and a drainage layer of Vulkaponic at the pot base (10%). Support: moss pole or trellis - the climbing habit requires support to display the foliage. Fertilising: monthly spring-summer with a mild formula for flowering plants (NPK 6-10-8). Pause in winter. Propagation: stem cuttings with 1-2 nodes in moist sphagnum or filtered water; roots in 4-6 weeks. Specifications Pot diameter: 10.5 cm Total height (incl. pot): 15 cm Flowering stage: No flowers
