Hoya 'Lacunosa'

Meet our Hoya 'Lacunosa', the cinnamon-scented sweetheart of the plant world. This Indonesian native is a master of seduction, filling the night air with its rich, cinnamon aroma. But don't be fooled, this plant is more than just a pretty face (or should I say, a pretty fragrance?).

As a dense, small-leafed vine, it grows beautifully in a hanging basket. Its trailing stems dangle over the pot's edge like a chorus line of green, each flower umbel bursting with several fragrant, fuzzy white blossoms. And the best part? It blooms from spring to fall, re-flowers off the old spurs, and tolerates a dry atmosphere and neglectful watering. Talk about low maintenance and high reward!

So, how do you keep this cinnamon queen happy? Here are some tips from yours truly:

• Give it bright, indirect light. No direct sunlight, please!
• Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry between waterings. It's drought-tolerant, remember?
• Humidity? Who needs it? This plant thrives in normal indoor conditions.
• Fertilize during growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced fertilizer.
• Prune after blooming to keep it full and encourage new flowers.

There you have it, folks! With these tips and a little love, your Hoya 'Lacunosa' will be the envy of all your plant-loving friends.
