Hoya 'Patricia' Ø6cm

Hoya 'Patricia' is a sought-after cultivar from the Apocynaceae family, prized for its oval, medium-sized leaves in an intense green with the glossy, waxy texture typical of the Hoya genus. This epiphytic beauty grows with flexible branches that are perfect for hanging or training on a support, and rewards you with fragrant, star-shaped flower umbels. A special piece for any plant lover. Available in 6 cm pots. Care instructions Hoya 'Patricia' grows as an epiphytic vine with slender, flexible stems extending 1-2 metres under indoor cultivation. The habit is semi-trailing, making it ideal for hanging baskets or training on arches and supports. Growth rate is slow to moderate, with an active period in spring-summer and natural slowing in winter. Longevity is remarkable - Hoya specimens can live for decades, becoming more beautiful and florally generous as they mature. Light: Bright indirect light. A few hours of direct morning sun are beneficial. The brighter the spot, the more generously it will flower. Temperature: 18-27°C optimal. Not below 10°C. A mild cooling period in winter (15-18°C) stimulates flower bud formation. Watering: Allow substrate to dry almost completely between waterings. Hoya prefers a drier substrate over too moist. Reduce in winter. Humidity: 50-70% ideal, and it happily tolerates 40%. Substrate: Very well-draining mix: orchid bark + perlite + coco coir. Avoid heavy, water-retaining substrate. Fertilisation: Diluted liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks during growing season. Complete pause in winter. Propagation: Stem cuttings with 2-3 nodes in water or moist sphagnum. Roots well in warm (22-25°C), humid conditions. Specifications Pot diameter: 6 cm Total height (incl. pot): 15 cm Flowering stage: No flowers
