Hoya manipurensis (The Bat Leafed Hoya) - Unusual Foliage & Subtle Beauty
Hoya manipurensis is a distinctive, lesser-known species native to northeastern India, particularly the Manipur region. Unique among Hoyas, this species features slender, boomerang shaped leaves with a leathery, slightly fuzzy texture that sun stress bright scarlet. Its flowers are small, tubular like a Dischidia and pale yellow to cream, often produced in modest umbels.
While not as flashy as some of its relatives, Hoya manipurensis is appreciated for its elegant, understated appearance and ease of care. It thrives in bright, indirect light and is well-suited for trellising or hanging culture.
Plant Features:
- Foliage: Narrow, lance-shaped, semi-glossy leaves
- Flowers: Small, creamy yellow blooms with a mild scent
- Growth Habit: Climbing or trailing vine; moderately fast-growing
Care Guidelines:
- Light: Bright, indirect preferred
- Water: Let soil dry slightly between waterings
- Humidity: 50–70% ideal
- Temperature: 60–85°F (16–29°C)
- Substrate: Well-draining, airy mix (epiphytic or semi-epiphytic)
A great choice for collectors looking to expand their Hoya collection with a rare species that offers subtle charm and interesting leaf form.
