Hoya sp. Ban Ngong Ngoy IML 1514
This vigorous undescribed species from Thailand represents an exciting addition to any collection. Collected from its natural habitat as an epiphyte in seasonal tropical forests, it combines desirable characteristics from multiple popular Hoyas—carnosa-like foliage with pubicalyx-like blooms. The fleshy green leaves display sparse silver flecks and may exhibit an attractive bluish cast in certain lighting, creating visual interest even when not in bloom.
The real showstopper is the prolific flowering: felted red/purple star-shaped flowers measuring 18mm across appear in impressive umbels of many blooms, offering wonderfully sweet fragrance that lasts up to 7 days. The flowers are slightly larger than H. pubicalyx and have a particularly pleasant fragrance in the evening. This is an easy-to-grow, easy-to-bloom species with strong and vigorous growth habit, making it rewarding for both experienced collectors seeking rare material and those new to Hoyas.
Care Requirements: Bright indirect light and well-draining, airy potting mix. Allow substrate to dry slightly between waterings. Thrives in temperatures between 55–90°F. Be careful to provide some humidity. Adaptable and low-maintenance with reliable performance.
