Hoya Lacunosa Sulcata
A refined gem within the Lacunosa family, the Hoya Lacunosa Sulcata sets itself apart with its deeply textured, grooved leaves — the name sulcata meaning "furrowed" in Latin, a perfect descriptor for its distinctly ridged surface. The foliage is a rich, deep green with a subtle sheen, and the plant produces clusters of small, star-shaped white flowers with a sweet, powdery fragrance that intensifies in the evening.
Compact and vining in habit, the Sulcata is an ideal candidate for hanging baskets, trellises, or cascading from a shelf. Its textural foliage makes it a standout even when not in bloom — and when it does flower, the effect is nothing short of spectacular.
Care Highlights:
- Light: Bright indirect light; tolerates lower light but blooms best with more sun
- Water: Allow soil to dry out between waterings; highly susceptible to root rot if overwatered
- Humidity: Prefers 50–70% humidity; thrives in a humid environment
- Temperature: 60–85°F (15–29°C); protect from cold drafts
- Soil: Fast-draining mix — orchid bark, perlite, and a small amount of potting soil works well
- Fertilizer: Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer
Textured, fragrant, and endlessly charming — the Hoya Lacunosa Sulcata is a must for any serious Hoya collector.
