Hoya lacunosa 'Asami' is a distinctive cultivar of the Hoya genus, renowned for its variegated leaves that display creamy white margins. When exposed to sufficient light, these margins can develop a pink hue, adding to the plant's visual appeal. This tropical epiphyte is native to Southeast Asia and is appreciated for its trailing growth habit, making it suitable for hanging baskets or as a climbing specimen on trellises.
Native to
Southeast Asia, particularly regions like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, where it thrives in tropical rainforests as an epiphyte.
Water
Allow the soil surface to dry to the touch between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains away to prevent root rot. During the active growing seasons of spring and summer, maintain consistent moisture levels, reducing frequency in cooler months.
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while insufficient light may hinder growth and flowering. An east-facing window with morning sun is ideal.
Humidity
Thrives in high humidity environments, ideally between 60-80%. If indoor air is dry, especially during winter, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water to maintain adequate moisture levels. This preference for high humidity makes it suitable for terrarium cultivation.
Temperature
Fares well in typical household temperatures ranging from 20-25°C. Protect the plant from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 10°C, as prolonged exposure can cause damage or dormancy.
