Description

Hoya Chuniana is a gorgeous hoya with smooth, green leaves with slightly ruffled margins, measuring 15cm x 10cm with clear venation. New growth frequently deep burgundy colour.

It produces clusters of reflexed flowers ,up to 6mm across, with peachy corollas and soft pink coronas. Up to 60 flowers per umbel! Flowers last up to 4 days. 

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
