Hoya with buttered popcorn-scented flowers in pink and yellow, blooms year-round with the right heat and humidity

Hoya heuschkeliana is a delightful Hoya that is a must-have for all plant enthusiasts. Under the right conditions, it will reward you with flowers year-round. As an added bonus, the flowers smell like buttered popcorn – what more could you ask for from a plant?

The plant requires a warm and humid environment to thrive, making it a bit more challenging to grow indoors. However, the reward is worth it thanks to its unique flowers and scent. An interesting detail is that the plant has evolved to change color when exposed to strong sunlight, much like a person getting a tan; this does not harm the plant with proper care.

Care

Recreate the conditions under a tree canopy where the plant receives plenty of light, but filtered through the foliage above. The light should be strong enough to cast soft shadows. Requires warmth and high humidity to thrive and bloom.

Allow the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. Use well-draining, airy soil. Ideal temperature 20-28 degrees Celsius with high humidity. Excellent for climbing supports or hanging baskets. Buy Hoya heuschkeliana variegata online!
