Hoya lacunosa ‘Inner Variegated’ is a rare and beautiful variety of Hoya lacunosa, distinguished by its creamy or pale-yellow leaf centers surrounded by soft green margins. This subtle inner variegation gives the foliage a luminous, delicate appearance.
Care Tips:
-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning or late-afternoon sun helps preserve the inner variegation.
-
Watering: Allow the top 1–2 inches (2–3 cm) of the soil to dry before watering again. Avoid overwatering and never let the pot sit in water.
-
Soil: Use a loose, well-draining mix such as orchid bark, perlite, and coco peat. Good aeration is essential for healthy roots.
-
Temperature: Ideal range is 65–85 °F (18–30 °C). Keep away from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 55 °F (13 °C).
-
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (around 60 % or higher). Increase humidity with misting, a pebble tray, or a humidifier if needed.
-
Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer using a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer (½ strength).
-
Pruning: Trim vines lightly to shape and encourage bushier growth. Keep variegated nodes to maintain the inner variegation pattern.
-
Propagation: Use stem cuttings with at least one variegated node. Root in sphagnum moss, perlite, or a light mix under warm, humid conditions.
-
Blooming: Flowers appear on persistent spurs — do not remove them after blooming. Provide strong light and stable warmth to encourage reblooming.
