Hoya sp. Biak

 

 


 

This hoya comes from the Biak Island in Indonesia. I've seen it called Hoya sp. Biak, Hoya sp. Biakensis and some other variations... I've kept the name it came with.

 

It seems to be a hoya that can be grown either hanging or wrapped around a support. The leaves are 2.5-4 cm long and 2.5-3 cm wide. The leaves are rather thick, mostly all green, but some leaves are spotted and it seems they can be really spotted too judging by photos I've seen. It seems to be a slow grower, but then I don't have much experience with it yet...

 

The flowers on the photo I found are pale yellow with white coronas. They look like they could be about 1 cm and almost flat. The description said 10-15 flowers in an umbel. It is said to be an easy bloomer so perhaps I'll be adding flower photos soon...
