Hoya ‘Densifolia’ (Yellow)

Hoya densifolia is a hoya species with dense foliage and succulent-like leaves that store water. It bears clusters of 10 to 20 small, star-shaped yellow flowers, often with a deep red centre, which can smell sweet and gardenia-like or of citrus and coconut, especially in the evening. Native to tropical Java and the Philippines, it grows as an epiphyte, and the seller describes it as relatively low-maintenance. Jiffy Plants offers it as a well-rooted plant in a jiffy bag or a 2.5 inch pot and recommends bright indirect light, a chunky, airy mix, 60 to 80 percent humidity and 18 to 35°C.
