🌿 Hoya 'Dark Maze' – recently discovered mountain species with striking foliage

General description

• Recently discovered species: A newly discovered Hoya from the mountainous regions of Aceh province, northern Sumatra, Indonesia – representing one of the latest additions to botanical collections from this biodiverse region.
• Distinctive foliage: Features unique leaf characteristics typical of highland Aceh Hoyas, with robust, textured leaves adapted to mountain forest conditions.
• Epiphytic growth: Grows naturally as an epiphyte in tropical highland forests, exhibiting vigorous trailing or climbing growth suitable for hanging baskets or trellises.

How to care for Hoya 'Dark Maze'

• Light: Prefers bright indirect light typical of understory mountain forest conditions. Avoid harsh direct sun.
• Watering: Water when substrate dries completely between waterings. Highland species prefer good drainage.
• Soil: Use a very well-draining epiphytic substrate (orchid mix with bark, perlite, coco coir) to replicate natural growing conditions.
• Temperature and humidity: Ideal temperature: 18–24°C, with humidity 60-70% for optimal growth, mimicking mountain forest environment.
• Important: As with all Hoyas, do not remove flower peduncles after blooming, as they will flower again from the same spot.
