RARE! Hoya sigillatis (outer variegated)

Please note that the amount if varie

Origin and Description:
The outer variegated clone of Hoya sigillatis is a striking variant of the species, characterized by dark green leaves with creamy white or yellow variegation along the edges. The contrast between the green center and variegated margins makes this plant especially appealing and highly sought-after by collectors. The narrow, lance-shaped leaves, typical of Hoya sigillatis, also feature silvery flecks, adding to the plant’s unique appearance.

Natural Habitat:
Like the standard Hoya sigillatis, this outer variegated clone is native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, particularly in Borneo and Malaysia. It thrives as an epiphyte, growing on trees in humid, shaded environments where it can receive diffused light and plenty of moisture.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the variegation, but good lighting helps maintain vibrant colors.
• Watering: Water when the top inch of soil dries out. The plant is sensitive to overwatering, so ensure good drainage.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (65-85%). Regular misting or the use of a humidifier can help in drier environments.
• Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 60°F and 95°F (15°C to 35°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one with perlite, orchid bark, and coco husk, to prevent water retention and root rot.

Fun Fact:
The outer variegated clone of Hoya sigillatis is cherished for its ability to maintain striking variegation even in lower light conditions. However, exposure to brighter light can intensify the contrast between the green centers and variegated edges, making it even more visually appealing.
