Hoya lacunosa 'Laos' is a tropical, fragrant Hoya variety known for its small leaves with silver splashes, creating a unique visual effect. This variety often produces small clusters of cinnamon-scented, star-shaped flowers, adding both visual and aromatic interest to indoor spaces. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant, making it ideal for indoor cultivation.
Hoya lacunosa 'Laos' as the name suggests is native to Laos, where it typically grows as an epiphyte under the shaded canopy. This origin underlines its need for high humidity and indirect light to replicate natural growth conditions.
Water Hoya lacunosa 'Laos' when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Use the soak-and-dry method, ensuring thorough watering until excess drains out, but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. In winter, reduce watering frequency to prevent root rot, as the plant’s growth slows.
Bright, indirect light is optimal for this Hoya. Place it near an east or north-facing window, or provide filtered light if exposed to direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch. Supplement with grow lights if natural light is insufficient, especially during shorter winter days.
Hoya lacunosa 'Laos' prefers moderate to high humidity levels, ideally around 60% or more. If indoor air is dry, especially in winter, consider using a humidifier or a pebble tray to boost humidity, which helps maintain healthy growth and encourages blooming.
This plant thrives in temperatures between 20-25°C (68-77°F) and should be protected from temperatures below 10°C (50°F). It is sensitive to sudden temperature changes, so avoid placing it near drafts or heating vents that may cause the air to dry out or fluctuate.
