Description
Hoya Icensis or Hoya patcharawalai 023 is a twining epiphyte from southeast Asia. The succulent green leaves are broadly ovate with an attractive dark margin.
Its growth is robust and swift, and it produces a captivating cluster of flowers characterized by white corollas and pink coronas and smell like licorice candy.
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
