Origin
The Hoya Flamingo Dream, also known as the Hoya Bella, originates from Southeast Asia, especially in countries like India, Thailand, and Malaysia. The plant primarily grows in tropical rainforests, on well-drained and rocky soils.
Characteristics
The Hoya Flamingo Dream is characterised by its green-white oval leaves, which have a glossy surface and promote compact growth. The plant produces clusters of star-shaped, waxy flowers, which are primarily pink and white in colour. The plant is known for attracting bees and butterflies with its gentle and sweet aroma.
Care
The Hoya Flamingo Dream requires little water and prefers an environment with moderate to high light intensity, without direct sunlight. The plant prefers well-drained soil and temperatures between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. It is also important to protect the plant from harmful insects, which can be achieved through regular inspections and the use of a suitable insecticide. Pruning the plant is discouraged as this can affect blooming.
