Hoya parasitica 'Pink'

This Hoya variety sports elliptical, dark green leaves measuring up to 9cm long. This quick growing climber contrasts it green foliage with distinctive veins and silver  splashes. The flower clusters are dusty pink in colour with a slight fragrance. They may be pruned to shape depending on your individual aesthetic preferences. To ensure abundant clusters of star-shaped flowers, provide enough bright indirect lighting.

NOTE: 
Hoya will often produce long tendrils that initially remain bare, without foliage. These tendrils will eventually develop leaves, so refrain from cutting these long vines unless you wish to propagate or are purposefully pruning for aesthetic purposes. 

CARE:
Prefers a warm spot with bright light indoors, or outdoors in a sheltered position. Use a well-draining potting mix and allow soil to dry between watering. Hoya prefer to remain snug in their pots, so refrain from repotting too frequently. Fertilise throughout spring and summer to promote flowering.
