Description
Hoya bilobata is a compact and charming climber that adds a touch of elegance with its cascading stems and small, rounded, green leaves. Its delicate clusters of porcelain-like flowers, often pink or pinkish-red with a yellow centre, exude a light, sweet fragrance, making it a delightful addition to any space. This species is perfect for hanging baskets or as a trailing feature in pots.
Best grown in bright, indirect light, 'Hoya bilobata' thrives in well-draining soil and benefits from allowing the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. During Makuru (winter), reduce watering as its growth slows. Its manageable size and low-maintenance nature make it a great choice for both indoor and outdoor spaces in Perth.
