Hoya Finlaysonii Long Leaves (Medium)

Description

The reason most collectors grow Hoya Finlaysonii is the spectacular foliage. The colour of the leaves is light green with prominent deep emerald green venation and a deep green edge. The elliptic leaves have a cardboard like texture and feel to them.

The flowers of this plant are inconsequential at least in terms of appearance given how the foliage is a show stealer. However, the small umbels of creamy white flowers and maroon outer petal lobes do give out the charming cinnamon-like “Hoya scent” when the plant blooms in summer months.

The growth pattern of Hoya Finlaysonii is perfect for hanging baskets and for indoor growing. It is not a common Hoya, not even in its native environments in Malaya, South Thailand and Borneo.

A great looking plant that will brighten up any room although the flowers are very short lived. This is a plant that everyone should have in their collection.
