Hoya acuta variegata 'Yellow Form
A gorgeous foliage Hoya, Hoya acuta variegata " Yellow Form' is a real standout with its beautiful green leaves highlighted by striking yellow to creamy variegation. New growth can emerge in vibrant yellow tones before gradually developing its mature colouring. It has a climbing or trailing growth habit, making it perfect for a trellis or hanging pot, But it's not just about the foliage! When mature and happy, this Hoya produces rounded clusters of delicate soft pink flowers with deeper coloured centres, adding another layer of beauty to an already stunning plant.
Like most Hoyas it prefers bright, indirect light to maintain healthy growth and beautiful variegation.
Gentle morning sunshine is beneficial, but avoid harsh afternoon sun.
Keep temperatures comfortably warm, ideally around 15- 30C, and protect it from cold conditions and
sudden temperature changes. Water thoroughly, allowing the potting mix to dry out mostly between waterings. Reduce watering during the cooler months.
Feed every 2-4 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser. Ease off
feeding during winter when growth slows.
Hoyas generally prefers an airy, chunky, free- draining mix containing orchid bark, perlite and quality potting mix. They also enjoy being slightly root-bound. so don't rush to repot. When necessary, move up just one pot size.
With their fascinating foliage, beautiful blooms, and relatively easy-going nature, Hoyas are a wonderful addition to any plant collection!
