Description
Hoya Verticillata Albomarginata is a fast-growing hoya with thick, dark green with white margins foliage and some flecks. The leaves measuring long and 3-6 cm wide. They are rather thick, dark green with white margins and some flecks. The foliage is absolutely lovely. New leaves seem to get a red hint when young and the "white" looks pink when young.
The flowers are reflexed like all verticillata. The buds are really cool with green stripes and the flowers are white with slightly darker corolla tips
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
