Hoya lacunosa 'White Pearl'

Origin and Description:
Hoya lacunosa 'White Pearl' is a beautiful variety featuring long, slender leaves with a silvery, pearl-like sheen. Green speckling across the surface adds depth to the pearlescent appearance, giving it an elegant, sophisticated look.

Natural Habitat:
Native to Southeast Asia, 'White Pearl' thrives in the tropical rainforests of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. It grows as an epiphyte, benefiting from humid conditions and plenty of filtered light.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is best, though it can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid harsh direct sunlight.
• Watering: Water thoroughly, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings.
• Humidity: High humidity (60-80%) supports optimal growth.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C).
• Soil: A well-draining mix like orchid bark and perlite will replicate its natural growing conditions.

Fun Fact:
