Hoya lacunosa ‘Laos’
This charming cultivar is a selection from Hoya lacunosa, a species native to Southeast Asia with a range from Thailand through Borneo, Java, Sumatra, and the Philippines. It is a climbing epiphyte or lithophyte that grows primarily in lowland and hill forests, often on trees along rivers.
Features small pointed leaves with exceptional minty silver speckling. Small white flowers bloom readily and the scent is a very nice spicy floral, though blooms are quite small and last only a few days.
A stable grower that isn’t supposed to revert, and once established, grows quite fast.
Perfect for hanging baskets or trained to climb.
Especially susceptible to underwatering - never let the mix dry out completely or stems will rot when you water next.
Care Requirements:
Recreate a dense forest environment with very little, if any, direct sunlight—bright light can turn this plant quite ugly, so prioritize a consistent, bright shade.
Our Classic or Shaggy Aroid & Hoya Mix provides the ideal well-draining substrate.
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged—never allow to dry completely.
Thrives in temperatures between 60-85°F (15-27°C) with humidity levels around 40-60% or higher. They are quite sensitive to cold and really should be kept above 55F.
Perfect for beginners seeking an easy-care, fast-growing trailing Hoya with striking silver foliage.
