Hoya blashernaezii is a vining epiphyte native to the Philippines, particularly the Bicol region on Luzon Island. It is known for its elongated, lanceolate leaves that have a glossy texture and subtle veining. The plant produces small clusters of pink, cup-shaped flowers, often accompanied by a faint sweet scent. These blooms, though delicate, tend to have a shorter lifespan compared to other Hoya species.
This species has a climbing or trailing growth habit, making it a versatile option for indoor cultivation in hanging baskets or supported on trellises. The plant thrives in controlled environments where its native tropical conditions are emulated, particularly in terms of humidity and light.
Native to
The Philippines, especially the Bicol region on Luzon Island. It thrives in the warm, humid conditions of its native tropical forests, often growing as an epiphyte on trees.
Water
Allow the potting mix to dry partially between waterings. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to about a third of the pot’s depth, ensuring good drainage to avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering during cooler months when the plant’s growth slows.
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf scorching. If light levels are too low, growth may become leggy, and flowering will diminish.
Humidity
Requires high humidity levels, ideally between 60-80%. If the air in your home is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a tray filled with water and pebbles to increase local humidity. This preference for high humidity makes the plant suitable for terrariums.
Temperature
Performs best in temperatures ranging from 18-24°C. It is important to avoid exposure to cold drafts and rapid temperature changes, which can stress the plant.
