Hoya Sabah

Hoya sp. Sabah is a striking tropical vining plant sought after by collectors for its large, deeply veined foliage. As a native to the island of Borneo, this Hoya variety features thick, succulent-like leaves that develop a beautiful texture and can show off stunning venation under the right lighting conditions.

Quick Care

Placement: Bright, indirect light; can handle some gentle morning sun.

Light: Medium to bright indirect light; avoid harsh, direct midday sun which can scorch the leaves.

Water: Allow the top 50-75% of soil to dry out before watering thoroughly.

Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining orchid bark or aroid mix.

Temp: Prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 85°F.

Humidity: High humidity (60%+) is preferred for optimal growth and flowering.

Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season.

About This Plant

Hoya sp. Sabah is prized for its ornamental foliage. The leaves are typically dark green with prominent, depressed veins that give them a quilted appearance. When it blooms, it produces clusters of wax-like flowers characteristic of the Hoya genus, often with a pleasant fragrance. It is an excellent climber and looks best when provided with a trellis or moss pole.

Tips

Avoid overwatering, as Hoyas are susceptible to root rot if left in standing water. Providing a humid environment will encourage faster growth and larger leaf production. For more tips follow us on Instagram @hiddenseedco
