Hoya 'Crocodile' is a highly collectible cultivar named for its thick, textured leaf surface like crocodile skin. πβ¨ Known for bold silver streaking and mottled yellow-green variegation, new growth comes in brighter and more dramatic, while older leaves settle into softer patterning. Sister cultivar to Hoya 'Candy.' Bright indirect light and warmth bring out the best variegation. πΈ
This cutting comes from my highly variegated mother plant β see the last pic in the lineup for her stunning coloration/texture. In my humble opinion, this is some of the best Crocodile variegation available on PalmStreet right now. πΈ
This is a 1-node cutting (working toward a second) with three leaves and a previously active growth point already pushing at the original node before it was cut for propagation. My hope is that growth point continues developing after rooting rather than aborting and starting a new one, but this can't be guaranteed.
Listed as "fresh," but placed into my modified semi-hydro rooting mix as of a week ago. Over the 7-day auction period, it's very unlikely to still be "fresh" by the end (it may not be completely rooted however), but certainly will most likely be "lightly rooted."
Please note: there is a small spot of old mechanical damage on this cutting. It's cosmetic and long-healed, not a health concern, but wanted you to be aware before bidding.
What You're Getting πΏ
- One highly variegated Hoya Crocodile cutting, 1 node with 3 leaves
- An active growth point started at time of cutting β continued development hoped for but can't be guaranteed
- Cut from my highly variegated mother plant β pictured last in this listing
- Will likely be "lightly rooted" rather than "fresh" by auction end, given it has been potted for a week before auction start
