About This Plant

Hoya vangviengiensis was named after the Vang Vieng region where it was discovered. It is celebrated for its fragrant, reflexed flowers that emit a sweet scent, typically blooming in clusters called umbels. This species is relatively fast-growing once established and enjoys having something to climb, such as a moss pole or trellis.

Tips

Avoid moving the plant once it develops peduncles, as Hoya can be sensitive to environmental changes during bud development. For more tips follow us on Instagram @hiddenseedco
