Hoya sp. Rangsan is part of the Apocynaceae family and is an epiphyte hybrid of Hoya latifolia. It is prized for its quilted leaves, like that of H. macrophylla (now H. latifolia), and its prominent splash decorating the leaves with multiple silvery shapes. Splashes appear in multiple colours from a bright silver to a faint gold/yellow.
Hoya sp. Rangsan has flowers almost identical to those of macrophylla/polystachia (both now H. latifolia). It is praised for its ability to flower early, even from a small cutting, and their fast growth means they can provide quick rewards for impatient growers. Their flowers are small with a little, light pink corolla on the inside
Genus name is new Latin, named after Thomas Hoy ( c. 1750– c. 1821), English gardener. Hybrid name is taken from the breeder’s surname.
Light: Bright indirect light, meaning the plant sees the sun for 0-4 hours per day - this could be through trees or a translucent curtain, it’s important for the plant to see the sky in order to thrive. An east-facing shaded aspect would be a good spot.
Water: Allow the majority of the mix to dry out as the mix is traditionally quite chunky, water will usually flow through quite easily. Be sure to thoroughly moisten the substrate.
Potting mix: Our potting mix would be ideal with some added coco chips.
Fertilising: Feed your plant every few waterings during the growing season or when you observe active growth. You can dilute fertiliser to half the recommended amount but never add more.
Temperature: 15-35°C.
Humidity Average humidity is fine for this plant, but I would recommend 60% and above to get the most out of your plant.
Hoya aren’t considered toxic, however, they may make your pet or child vomit if ingested, keep out of reach just to be safe.
