Hoya thomsonii 'Pink'
Hoya thomsonii ‘Pink’ is a softly textured species with small to medium green leaves covered in fine hairs, giving the foliage a velvety appearance. The plant produces clusters of pale to mid-pink flowers with a deeper pink centre, and the blooms have a gentle sweet scent. Stems trail or climb lightly when supported, forming a dense plant with a soft, tactile look.
This plant prefers bright filtered light, warm temperatures and consistent conditions. The fine roots benefit from an airy mix and a lightly drying cycle, and growth is more reliable when humidity remains moderate. Regular feeding during the warmer months supports flowering and new stems.
Key Characteristics
- Growth habit: Lightly vining stems that can trail or climb with support
- Leaf features: Soft, velvety green leaves with fine hairs and a medium thickness
- Flowers: Pale to mid-pink blooms with deeper centres, held in rounded clusters
- Fragrance: Gentle sweet scent
- Pot size supplied: 100 mm or 80 mm depending on batch; plant size remains consistent
- Growth speed: Moderate in warm, stable conditions
- Skill level: Intermediate — prefers steady humidity and gentle watering due to its finer roots and soft foliage
Growing Conditions
- Light: Bright, indirect light; soft morning sun is suitable.
- Water: Allow most of the potting mix to dry before watering again; fine roots prefer a careful watering rhythm.
- Temperature: Best between 18–30 °C with stable warm conditions.
- Humidity: Moderate humidity supports leaf quality and flowering.
- Potting mix: Chunky, airy, free-draining blend with fine bark and coarse perlite.
- Fertiliser: Light feeding during the warmer months supports growth and flower production.
