Leaf characteristics:
- Shape: Ovate with a slightly pointed tip, typical of many Hoya species.
- Color: A soft, pale green, giving a slightly “washed out” or pastel look.
- Texture: Smooth and flat, with a matte appearance on new leaves. More mature leaves have glossy finish.
- Size: Medium-sized leaves that seem uniform and well-proportioned for a compact variety.
- Veining: Subtle and not deeply pronounced, though a central vein is visible on each leaf.
- Pattern: No visible variegation or splash; the leaves maintain a uniform pale tone. Occasionally with green speckles.
- Growth Habit: Leaves are closely spaced along the stem, suggesting compact internodes.
❀ - Stem: Green.
- Vining style: Trailing.
- Ease of propagation: Easy to root, but needs more humidity, leaves on a cutting dry pretty quickly.
Care
- Lighting Needs: Barrina, 14 hours, one foot away. I noticed leaves may get a pinkish blush.
- Watering: as the soil dries.
- Humidity and Temperature: all hoyas are in the tent, with the highest temperature around 80F and the lowest around 68F.
The average humidity in the tents is 60%. - Soil Mix: a mix of tree fern, pumice, and zeolite.
Disclaimer: The appearance of Hoya Lacunosa varieties can vary greatly depending on factors like light (amount and quality), temperature, humidity, the original plant, fertilizer, and care. What I describe here is based on my own experiences and observations under my specific conditions. Your results may differ!
