Hoya walliniana variegata is a rare and visually striking variety of Hoya walliniana, known for its beautiful variegated foliage. The leaves display a mix of creamy white, soft yellow, and green, creating a luminous, patterned effect. This variety has a trailing or twining growth habit, making it perfect for hanging baskets or climbing supports where its cascading vines can be best appreciated.
Care Tips:
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. More light helps enhance variegation and color, but avoid harsh direct sun that may scorch leaves.
Temperature: Keep in warm conditions, ideally between ~60-85 °F (≈15-30 °C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below ~55 °F (≈13 °C).
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps. Thin leaves and variegation make it more sensitive to low humidity.
Watering: Let the topsoil dry out slightly between waterings. Do not let the soil stay soggy; overwatering can cause rot.
Soil / Potting Mix: Use a well-draining, airy mix (e.g. orchid bark, perlite, chunky mix) to simulate epiphytic conditions.
Flowering: Produces small, star-shaped, felted / fuzzy flowers in umbels, often creamy white with maroon centers. Blooms are small but charming.
