Some Hoyas are all about the flowers… and then there’s Hoya clemensiorum, showing up with foliage this dramatic! I’ve flowered hoyaclemensiorum earlier this year but the blooms didn’t last long enough for me to grab a picture for you all. So in this post, let’s appreciate the intricate, almost reptile-skin-like venation on these leaves. The texture, the silvering, the deep green veins, and those long, elegant leaves make this one of those plants I can stare at way too long. One of my absolute favorites for fabulous foliage. What’s your favorite Hoya for foliage alone? Liz’s personal care experience only…every environment is different: 🪴Light: a south window and grow lights 🪴Water: when dry 🪴Avg Temp last 30 days: 74F 🪴Relative Humidity last 30 days: 45% 🪴Fussy: not for me 🪴Rate of growth: slow 🪴Rareness: not commonly found in stores, but in a lot of private collections. 🪴Pot size: 3” clear pot 🪴Potting Mix: chunky mix 🪴Fertilizer: I apply a nutrient-rich fertilizer tailored for Hoyas approximately every other watering when the plant isn’t dormant. It’s packed with essential macro and micronutrients, it’s the best I’ve found for hoyas! 🪴Rooting Method: in my custom coco coir mix in a clear plastic prop box on top of a heat mat, under a strong grow light. 🪴Time In My Care: 3 years 🌸Age until 1st bloom: 2.5 years 🪴Would Liz recommend this one: yes hoyaclemensiorum hoya hoyaappreciation
