Hoya merrillii Ø8cm

Hoya merrillii is a rare Philippine species noted for its uniquely golden-yellow flowers in the Hoya world and sweet honey-scented fragrance. A non-toxic epiphytic plant, a sought-after treasure for any plant lover and perfectly pet-friendly. Care instructions Water when the top 3-4 cm of substrate have dried completely, usually every 7-10 days in summer and 14-21 days in winter. As an epiphytic plant, Hoya merrillii does not tolerate permanently wet substrate. Excess water quickly causes root rot. Use room-temperature, preferably filtered water. Water slowly at the base, ensuring complete drainage. Never leave the pot in stagnant water. Bottom watering works well for this species, allowing roots to absorb needed water without the risk of over-watering. Ideal atmospheric humidity is 55-75%. Hoya merrillii is relatively tolerant of moderate humidity, making it suitable for ordinary apartments. In very dry environments (below 40%), use a humidifier or pebble tray. Over-watering: yellow leaves, soft stems, unpleasant substrate smell. Under-watering: slightly wrinkled leaves that recover after proper watering. It is always safer to water too little than too much. Specifications Pot diameter: 10 cm Total height (incl. pot): 10 cm Flowering stage: No flowers
