Hoya benitotanii is a slow-growing vine with glossy, elongated leaves and fragrant, star-shaped yellow flowers.
Leaves: The foliage is thick, leathery, and mid-green, with a glossy upper surface and paler underside. New leaves may sometimes have reddish markings. They typically grow to about 7–14 cm long and 3–5 cm wide.
Flowers: The blossoms are small, about 8 mm in diameter, with a "revolute" or rolled-back shape. The petals are a dull yellow to orange-yellow, with a lighter yellow corona. They grow in clusters (umbels) of up to 30 flowers, which last for about a week. The blooms are known for their sweet, light citrus scent.
Growth habit: As a vining plant, Hoya benitotanii grows best with the support of a trellis. It is known to be a slow grower and a reluctant bloomer, potentially taking years to produce its first flowers.
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct, harsh sunlight should be avoided to prevent scorching the leaves, though it can handle some direct sun.
Watering: Like many other Hoya species, it is sensitive to overwatering. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings.
Soil: Requires a well-draining, chunky soil mix. A blend of orchid bark, perlite, and a small amount of peat or coco coir is ideal.
Temperature and humidity: Thrives in warm, humid conditions. The ideal temperature range is 65–80°F (18–27°C) during the day and slightly cooler at night. It does not tolerate temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
