Description
The Hoya Treubiana plant bears resemblance to its relative, H. meliflua. It stands out for its star-shaped flowers, which are thick and covered in a fuzzy, felt-like layer. The plant boasts a vibrant cluster of pink and yellow blossoms with a five-pointed star at its center. Its elongated, elliptical leaves can grow up to an impressive 60cm, making them the longest among all Hoya plants. These dark green leaves have a rubbery texture and typically measure 45cm x 7.5cm. They appear in pairs at the nodes and emit a sweet, mild fragrance, especially in the evenings. While the Hoya Treubiana typically blooms in the summer, with proper care it can produce multiple flowers throughout the year.
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
