🌿 Hoya lacunosa 'Sulcata' — deeply grooved leaves

Hoya lacunosa 'Sulcata' is a rare cultivar of Hoya lacunosa, with very distinct leaves through deeply grooved veins ("sulcata" = grooved, in Latin). Leaves have a unique texture, almost embossed, with clearly traced central and lateral venation. Grows as a delicate vine and retains the strong vanilla fragrance specific to the species.

Flowers appear in compact powdery cream-white umbels with pale pink centers. The contrast between grooved leaf texture and powdery flowers creates an elegant appearance.
