Product description
Hoya 'Optimistic'
This fabulous hybrid is the result of crossing Hoya 'Ruthie' and Hoya ciliata.
Part of the Eriostemma section, this cultivar inherits the vigorous nature of
its parents. Originating from Southeast Asia, it carries the tropical
adaptations typical of the region's epiphytic flora.
Features glossy, flat leaves with embedded veins and slightly revolute margins.
The stems and leaves are pubescent, giving them a soft, velvety texture. The
flowers measure approximately 1.8 inches in diameter with truly nice colors
ranging from red to yellow with a yellow center, creating an eye-catching
display. The remarkably scented blooms have a delicious hint of lemon. This is a
fast-grower and abundant bloomer, with reports of flowering in less than 1 year
after purchase of young plants. The vine can grow up to 9.8 feet, making it
suitable for training to climb or trailing from hanging baskets.
Like its parents, it is a fast-growing plant that prefers the sun and a larger
pot, with a substrate richer in nutrients, demanding more space and light than
the average Hoyas.
Care Requirements:
Very bright light but not quite full sun.
Our Classic or Shaggy Aroid & Hoya Mix provides the ideal well-draining
substrate.
Water plenty, but let it dry out slightly between waterings.
Does not tolerate temperatures below 50°F. Ideal temperatures are between 60 and
85°F.
