More information

Hoya cutis porcelana

Hoya cutis porcelana

This distinctive species showcases remarkable floral characteristics with ivory star-shaped flowers featuring striking red centers. The specific epithet 'cutis-porcelana' translates to porcelain skin, referring to the porcelain-like appearance of the flower surfaces.

  • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight which can damage the delicate porcelain-like flowers and thick succulent leaves.
  • Temperature: Prefers warm, stable conditions between 18-26°C (65-79°F). Maintain consistent temperatures and protect from cold drafts for optimal growth and flowering.
  • Humidity: Requires moderate humidity levels of 40-60% with good air circulation. Higher humidity encourages healthy growth and abundant flowering.
  • Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely as thick leaves store moisture and the plant is susceptible to overwatering.

Additional Notes:

This exceptional species produces heavily scented umbel inflorescences with sweet fragrance, making it highly prized by collectors for both its unique porcelain-like flower appearance and delightful aromatic qualities.
