HOYA CAUDATA ‘SUMATRA’ (caudata sumatra) 3.5”
Hoya Caudata ‘Sumatra’ 3.5” — A Wild & Textured Beauty
Meet the Hoya Caudata ‘Sumatra’ 3.5”, a rare and exotic variety prized for its deep green, crinkled leaves with striking silver speckling and reddish edges. Native to Sumatra, this stunning Hoya has a more rugged, textured look compared to its smoother-leaved relatives. With proper care and patience, it may reward you with clusters of fuzzy, star-shaped flowers with a deep red center, adding to its dramatic appeal.
The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light—some gentle morning sun enhances its silver speckling and deepens leaf coloration.
• Water: Prefers a “soak and dry” routine—water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry before watering again. Well-draining soil is a must!
• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity—a humidifier or pebble tray will keep it thriving.
What It’s Telling You:
• Happy Signs: Firm, textured leaves with bold silver speckling and red-tinged edges.
• Needs TLC: Wrinkling? It’s thirsty. Yellowing? Ease up on watering. Faded colors? Move it to a brighter spot.
Good News for Pet Parents:
This plant is not pet-safe, so keep it away from curious paws.
