Hoya macrophylla ‘Pot of Gold’ is a sought-after variety for its spectacular and luminous foliage. Its large, thick leaves feature a central golden yellow to cream variegation, bordered by dark green, creating a rich and elegant contrast. With time and good light, the leaves can even take on slight pinkish hues. It is an ideal climbing or trailing plant to add a sophisticated tropical touch to your decor.
Like many hoyas, it can produce delicate, often fragrant, star-shaped flowers when conditions are favorable. It rarely flowers before it is 2 years old. To promote flowering, it is recommended to place it in a bright room and reduce the frequency of repotting. It likes to be pot-bound.
