Hoya Mathilde
Hoya Mathilde, also known as the Wax Plant or Porcelain Flower, is a captivating vining succulent native to Southeast Asia. This exquisite plant is treasured for its thick, heart-shaped leaves, delicate clusters of star-shaped flowers, and enchanting fragrance.
Appearance:
Leaves: The Hoya Mathilde features succulent, heart-shaped leaves that are a deep green color with a glossy sheen. These leaves are thick and fleshy, storing water to help the plant survive in its natural habitat. The leaves grow oppositely along the vining stems, creating a lush, cascading effect.
Flowers: In the spring and summer, the plant produces clusters of star-shaped flowers in shades of pink or white. These delicate blooms have a waxy texture, reminiscent of porcelain, and emit a sweet fragrance, especially in the evenings.
Growth Habit: The Hoya Mathilde is a vining plant that can be trained to climb a trellis or allowed to trail gracefully from a hanging basket. With proper care, its vines can reach several feet in length.
Care Requirements:
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry, allowing excess water to drain.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity levels.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that is rich in organic matter.
Additional Information:
The Hoya Mathilde is a relatively slow-growing plant but can live for many years with proper care.
It is a popular choice for adding a touch of elegance and fragrance to homes and offices.
The succulent plant housed in the black pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
