Hoya Pubicalyx grows long, vigorous vines that look great on a trellis or cascading down the sides of its pot. Its elongated, silver-speckled leaves are as spectacular as its blooms. Its unique, fragrant flowers can range from mauve to pink. However, it rarely blooms before it is 2 years old. To encourage flowering, it is recommended to place it in a bright room and reduce the frequency of repotting. It likes to be kept tightly in its pot.
Non-toxic to animals.
