Hoya Sp Mamasa

Hoya sp. Mamasa (Hoya sp. Mamasa) is a rare, unnamed hoya from the Mamasa area of Sulawesi, with thick leaves that blush red in strong light. Labijo ships it to US buyers as a rooted cutting.

What does Hoya sp. Mamasa look like?

This hoya is not formally named yet and is sold under the name of the Mamasa area in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Its leaves are thick and firm, green in moderate light and blushing red when it gets more sun.

It grows as a vining hoya. Thick-leaved hoyas like this grow slowly at first and pick up speed once the roots are established. See our other hoyas for other Indonesian species.

How do you care for Hoya sp. Mamasa?

• Light: Bright indirect light with some morning sun to bring out the red blush.
• Water: Water when the mix is mostly dry. The thick leaves store a lot of water, so it is better to underwater than overwater.
• Humidity: 50% or higher is ideal, but it adapts to room air.
• Soil: An airy, chunky mix with orchid bark and perlite.
• Temperature: 65–85°F. Keep it above 55°F.
• Pets: Hoyas are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Keep it out of reach anyway, since chewing any plant can upset a pet’s stomach.

Increase light gradually if you want more red. A sudden move into strong sun can scorch thick leaves, leaving tan patches that don’t recover.

What will I receive?

A rooted cutting with established roots, similar to the photos. Leaf color depends on light, so it may arrive greener and color up later.
