Hoya macrophylla ‘Albo Variegata’ is a rare and highly sought-after trailing houseplant, admired for its large, thick leaves with striking creamy-white variegation along the margins. Its waxy foliage, climbing or cascading growth habit, and occasional clusters of fragrant star-shaped flowers make it a collector’s favorite.
Hoya Macrophylla Albo
Light:
-
Thrives in bright, indirect light.
-
Can tolerate some gentle morning sun, but avoid harsh midday sun which may burn the leaves.
Water:
-
Allow soil to dry out between waterings.
-
Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away — Hoyas dislike soggy roots.
Soil:
-
Prefers a chunky, well-draining mix (orchid bark, perlite, coco chips, and a bit of peat/coco coir).
-
Excellent aeration is key to preventing root rot.
Feeding:
-
Apply a balanced water-soluble fertilizer every 4 weeks during active growth.
-
Use a bloom booster occasionally to encourage flowers.
Pruning:
-
Trim back long vines to shape the plant if needed.
-
Avoid cutting the peduncles (flower spurs), as Hoyas rebloom from the same points.
General Tips:
-
Can be grown as a trailing or climbing plant with support.
-
Prefers warm indoor conditions and good airflow.
-
Wipe leaves gently to keep the variegation vibrant.
