Hoya waymaniae 'Kapuas' is an epiphytic vine native to the Kapuas region of Borneo. This variety is known for its thick, leathery leaves that are oval to lanceolate in shape, exhibiting a deep green hue with occasional silvery-grey spots under optimal lighting conditions.
The plant produces dense clusters of small, star-shaped flowers in delicate shades of yellow or orange, emitting a pleasant, sweet fragrance, especially in the evening.
Native to: Hoya waymaniae 'Kapuas' originates from the tropical rainforests of Borneo, particularly the Kapuas region.
Water: Water the plant when the top layer of the substrate has dried out. Avoid waterlogging, as it can lead to root rot.
Light: Provide a bright spot with plenty of indirect light. Direct sunlight can damage the leaves, so it's ideal to place the plant near a window with filtered light or in a bright spot without direct sunlight. Too little light can slow down the plant's growth and impair flower formation.
Humidity: Hoya waymaniae 'Kapuas' thrives in high humidity environments, reflecting its natural tropical habitat. In dry indoor areas or during the heating period, spraying the plant or using a humidifier can be helpful to ensure the necessary humidity. A humidity level of 60 to 80 percent is ideal to keep the plant healthy and promote flower formation.
Temperature: Maintain indoor temperatures between 18-27°C for optimal growth. Avoid exposing the plant to cold drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations, as these can cause stress and hinder growth.
