Origin
The Hoya krohniana Eskimo is a plant species originally from the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. It is a member of the Apocynaceae family and belongs to the Hoya genus, also known as wax flowers. This species is often found in subtropical forests, primarily in the Philippines.
Characteristics
The Hoya krohniana Eskimo is a climbing plant, typical for the Hoya genus, with thick, waxy leaves and a greenish-white flower. The leaves are heart-shaped and grow opposite each other on the stems. This plant is known for its cluster of star-shaped flowers that emit a sweet fragrance. The flowers often have notable red markings.
Care
When it comes to care, the Hoya krohniana Eskimo needs moderate light and does well in indirect sunlight. This makes it ideal for indoor planting. It prefers well-draining soil and requires regular but moderate watering. Overwatering can cause rot, so it's essential to wait for the top layer of the soil to dry before watering again. Finally, this plant thrives in a high-humidity environment and does best at temperatures between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius.
