Hoya elliptica 10cm pot

The Hoya elliptica is a stunning tropical Hoya prized for its distinctive, turtle-shell patterned foliage and beautiful clusters of fragrant flowers. Its thick, glossy green leaves feature an intricate network of pale veins, creating a striking geometric pattern that makes this species particularly appealing to collectors.

Native to Southeast Asia, this attractive Hoya develops elegant climbing or trailing vines, making it ideal for hanging baskets, shelves or growing around a small trellis. Mature plants can produce clusters of delicate, fuzzy white flowers with contrasting pink to reddish centres and a lovely sweet fragrance. A fascinating addition to any Hoya collection.

Care Tips

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Gentle morning sun can help encourage healthy growth and strong leaf patterning.

• Watering: Allow most of the potting mix to dry between waterings. Avoid keeping the roots constantly wet.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions. Protect from cold draughts and Melbourne's winter chill.

• Fertiliser: Feed lightly during spring and summer to encourage healthy growth and flowering.

• Pet Friendly: Hoyas are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.

Please Note: Leaf patterns, size and colour naturally vary between individual plants. The distinctive turtle-shell markings may become more pronounced as the plant matures.
