🪴 Hoya nummularioides – Compact Fragrant Hoya with Clusters of Starry Blooms
🌿 Product Description:
Hoya nummularioides is a small-leaved, vining epiphyte native to Southeast Asia, beloved for its dense, trailing growth habit and fragrant star-shaped flowers. The plant features rounded, thick green leaves that grow along thin cascading vines – making it ideal for hanging pots, trellises, or trailing from shelves.
Its clusters of white to pale pink flowers with yellow or pink centers appear in umbels and give off a strong, sweet scent, especially in the evenings. Despite its exotic appearance, it is a low-maintenance houseplant that thrives with minimal care.
