Hoya sigillatis is a charming and less common Hoya species, admired for its delicate, elongated leaves adorned with silver speckles. This trailing plant is perfect for hanging baskets or as a cascading accent in your indoor garden. Native to Borneo, it thrives in warm, humid environments.
To care for Hoya sigillatis:
-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can cause sun-stressing, turning the leaves reddish-brown.
-
Watering: Allow the topsoil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining mix, such as one with coconut husks and perlite, to prevent water retention.
-
Humidity: It enjoys higher humidity levels but can adapt to average household conditions.
-
Temperature: Keep it in a warm spot, ideally between 70–90°F
