Description
Hoya Bogor is an absolutely beautiful hoya with leaves 7-13 cm long and 2.5-4 cm wide. The leaves vary in light green to darker green with very prominent veins and a lot of flecks.
The flowers are mostly pale pink with white coronas, but sometimes the corolla lobes are pale brown with white coronas. These flowers produce a lot of nectar and the fragrance is anything but spicy
Environment
Easy to grow & don't require much attention. Hoya do best in filtered light or with lots of artificial light in indoors.
Hoya plants don't ask for much, beyond the well-draining soil and the warm humid conditions ((similar to bromeliads and orchids)
They are epyphite, can be grown in orchid medium or light potting mix with lots of bark conditioner. Hoya like the security of a snug pot, and plants that are a bit root bound will flower more prolifically than those that are swimming around in a giant pot.
This plant is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds .
Landscape Use
It makes a nice hanging basket, but also does really well as a mounted plant
