Hoya Globulosa (Cao Bang), formerly Hoya Villosa (Cao Bang), was described by Sir Joseph Hooker and was newly introduced from the Sikkim Himalaya. It is a type of stove climber Hoya with pale straw or cream-colored flowers and pink coronal appendages.
Hoya Globulosa (Cao Bang) bears flowers in clustered heads, with a very pleasant scent similar to that of a Turk's-cap Lily. The plant's oblong leathery leaves are rounded at the base and taper to a point at the apex.
Researchers have documented its remarkable ability to imitate the fly-catching behavior of its close relative, Apocynum. Evidence suggests that this variety may tolerate temperatures lower than some of its kin.
Recreate a dense forest environment. Very little, if any, direct sunlight should hit the plant at any time of the day.
Low Humidity: Ideally Above 40%
This Hoya tolerates a drier environment. However, it could still benefit from light humidity care, including misting and grouping together with other houseplants. May require humidifier in cooler, drier months.
Intermediate: Lowest 60F
This hoya does not require high heat, but does not tolerate cold as well as other varieties.
Does Not Sunstress
This plant will not change color under bright light.
