Hoya serpens

   Extremely rare and hard to find elsewhere, Lobbii. An unusual Hoya plant with upright growth in very dark red violet flowers. With remarkable greenish leaves of size around 2”-3” in width while having length 4”-5” and pointed tips. Flower consists of each size 0.4” approximately in cluster of globe 3”-4” diameter. Lobbii has a notable floral characteristic in backward petals to the flower base while also having a tiny 5 star shape in the flower center appears in dark red violet very beautifully. The remarkable of Lobbi is that flower appears in waxy dark red colored which is very shiny once the sun light on very brightly. Sweet and mild fragrance.

Hoya serpens seems to be one of those plants that fall into the category of plants I could grow well at one time, but not any more.  I have flowered this plant a number of times, and it really is spectacular especially when you compare the size of the blossom to the small size of the leaves.  It really requires conditions that are very hard for me to achieve to do it’s best.  Ideally temperatures in the high 60’s to low 70’s with lot of humidity will grow this plant like a champ.  I can give it humidity and high temperatures, which will produce lots of new growth, but it will not flower.  I can give it cooler temps with low humidity;the leaves yellow and fall off under this scenario.  Tough plant to have success with unless you live in the right area of the country.  I do however recommend that everyone try this Hoya, because a well grown specimen is a sight to behold!
