Hoya pimenteliana is named after Philippine botanist Reynold B. Pimentel and is aka hoya cagayanensis. It's a typical vining hoya with common hoya growing needs ie, 55F to 90F, 50% humidity or more, bright indoor light and dry out between waterings. H. pimenteliana can be kept somewhat damper than the typical hoya. The flowers occur in clusters of up to 18 individual flowers lasting seven to ten days having a wonderful fragrance of gardenias. It is an interesting addition to any hoya collection and a particularly easy, rampant grower.
Our hoyas are well rooted plants with a minimum of 4-5 leaves in 2 1/4 inch pots. They are well established and usually are at least 4-6 months old with at least 1 active, new lead! We start all our cuttings using Oasis Horticubes and when we pot them up we put a large styrofoam shipping chip in the bottom of their pot to ensure good drainage. When re potting your hoya you may discard the the styrofoam but do not remove the Horticube from the root mass as you will damage the Hoya root system. The Horticube will eventually biodegrade.
The pictures of the three 2 1/4 pots are a typical representation of the plant you will receive! They occasionally may have sun spots or other imperfections such as leaves with blemishes, creases and latex bleeding from shipping/ packing which are cosmetic only and do not affect the health or vigor of the plant.
Hoyas like to be pot bound so PLEASE DO NOT IMMEDIATELY RE-POT your hoya but let it acclimate to your growing conditions for at least 8 weeks! We ship our hoyas in their pots and purposely on the dry side to reduce shipping cost and to reduce chance of contamination if shipped to damp.
