Hoya shepherdii

Hoya shepherdii Flower

The Hoya shepherdii flower consists of showy clusters of waxy, white flowers with a pink underside. These are produced during summer amidst the elongated, dark green leaves which are held on trailing stems. It typically grows to 15 cm tall and will trail to 50 cm or more. Best performance with this plant is achieved when positioned in indirect light or partial shade in a sheltered position with a well-drained growing media. Over-watering will damage this plant as will frost, cold temperatures, and drafty positions. Hoya shepherdii is commonly grown indoors in an office or the like where a fresh, delightful, and elegant plant is required. It can also be grown outdoors in favourable environments.
