Hoya undulata is a rare epiphytic vine native to the lowland limestone forests of West Kalimantan, Borneo (around 300–380 m elevation). The species name undulata refers to its distinctly wavy leaf margins. Its leaves are thick, glossy, and may range from light green to purplish tones, sometimes with subtle speckling.

Features:

  • Foliage: The leaves are rigid, lance-shaped to somewhat thick, with notable undulating (wavy) edges. They often display variable coloration, ranging from olive-green to deeper burgundy or purplish tones depending on light exposure.

  • Variegation/Colour Effects: Under brighter light ("sun-stress" conditions), the leaves may take on red, maroon, or purple hues.

  • Flowers: It produces star-shaped flowers in clusters (umbels) with a subtle sweet fragrance.

  • Growth habit: Trailing or twining vine, typical of many epiphytic Hoyas.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid harsh midday direct sun (which may burn leaves) but some strong indirect light or morning/late-afternoon sun can help promote better coloration.

  • Watering: Allow the potting medium to dry significantly between waterings. The plant is sensitive to over-watering and poor drainage.

  • Medium / Substrate: Use a very well-draining, airy mixture (for example orchid bark + perlite + maybe some coco husk) to mimic its epiphytic nature. Ensure the pot has good drainage.

  • Humidity & Temperature: Prefers warm, humid conditions. Ideally, humidity above ~60% and stable warm temps (for instance above ~18 °C / 65 °F) support good growth.

  • Sun-stress / Colour boost: When given stronger indirect light (while still avoiding scorch), the foliage may develop red/maroon tones. This is more of an aesthetic benefit than a requirement, and must be balanced carefully.
