Hoya Tanggamus

Hoya Tanggamus (Hoya sp. Tanggamus) is a rare Indonesian hoya with thick, dark-veined leaves and clusters of sweet-scented, star-shaped flowers. Labijo ships it to US buyers as a plant with at least two leaves, similar to the one in the photos.

What does Hoya Tanggamus look like?

The leaves are oval, firm and fairly large for a hoya, tapering to a point. They are deep green, sometimes flushed red in brighter light, and the veins show darker than the leaf. It grows as a vining hoya, so give it a trellis or let it trail.

Mature plants bloom in round clusters of small star-shaped flowers with a light, sweet scent. If you like thick-leaved species, browse our other hoyas.

How do you care for Hoya Tanggamus?

• Light: Bright indirect light. A little morning sun helps it flower.
• Water: Let the mix dry out most of the way between waterings. The thick leaves hold water, so overwatering is the main risk.
• Humidity: 50% or higher is ideal, but it adapts to normal room air.
• Soil: A chunky, fast-draining mix, such as orchid bark, perlite and some potting soil.
• 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.

Once you see flower buds, don’t move the plant or turn the pot. Hoyas often drop buds when their light changes. Leave the old flower spurs on the vine too, because it blooms from them again.

What will I receive?

Can I order from outside the US?

Labijo.com ships to US addresses only. If you live in another country, contact our home nursery in Indonesia through labijo.id and ask what they can send to you.
