The speckled Hoya with dark pink flowers
Hoya pubicalyx · also known as Wax plant, pubicalyx hoya
Native to The Philippines
A fast, easy Hoya with long leaves often splashed with silver speckles. Mature plants carry round clusters of dark pink to red waxy flowers in late spring and summer.
- A well-grown Pubicalyx in a 12cm grow pot, big enough to trail or climb straight away.
- Silver-speckled leaves all year, with dark pink-red waxy flower clusters on mature vines.
- One of the quicker, more forgiving Hoyas: bright indirect light and water once the soil is partly dry.
Where it thrives
The best spot in your home
Bright, indirect light near an east- or north-facing window, out of harsh afternoon sun. Let it climb a hoop or trail from a high shelf.
