Hoya Eitapensis is a climbing hoya with smaller light green leaves. It doesn't twine very well, so some help (we use plant clips available on our website) to stay on the support trellis is required. The leaves are 3-8 cm long and turn red when grown in sunshine.
The plant and its flowers are very similar to Hoya Anulata. They are flat, about 1-1.5 cm, white corolla with yellow corona. Fast growing hoya once established.
Hoya Eitapensis Plant care
Light: The Eitapensis grows best in a well-lit position indoors with plenty of bright and indirect sunlight. If it is placed in a spot that is too shady it will experience slower rates of growth.
Soil: Ideally an airy, lightweight and chunky potting mix. Tired of mixing your own? Try our tried and tested Aroid & Hoya Potting Mix!
Watering: This plant prefers to be dry down thoroughly in between waterings. Like most Hoya varieties, they appreciate higher levels of humidity.
Climate: The Eitapensis withstands regular household temperatures but doesn't respond well to abnormally low indoor temperatures.
Feeding: Use a balanced fertiliser such as GT Foliage Focus or GT Complete Focus 1-2 times a month throughout the growing season in Spring and Summer.
