About Hoya Vitellinoides
Hoya Vitellinoides (Hoya vitellinoides) is a vining hoya with large, light green leaves marked by a bold net of dark green veins. Labijo ships it to US buyers as a rooted plant.
What does Hoya Vitellinoides look like?
The leaves are large and oval, light green, with dark veins that look almost drawn on. They are thinner and softer than the similar-looking Hoya callistophylla, which has stiffer, thicker leaves. It grows as a vining epiphyte and needs room to climb or trail.
Mature plants bloom in clusters of small, pale star-shaped flowers with a sweet scent. Browse our other hoyas for other veined species.
How do you care for Hoya Vitellinoides?
- Light: Bright indirect light. A little morning sun brings out the vein contrast.
- Water: Water when the mix is mostly dry. Its thinner leaves dry out faster than succulent hoyas, so check it more often in summer.
- 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 60°F; the softer leaves mark easily in cold.
- 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.
Large, soft leaves catch dust. Wipe them gently with a damp cloth now and then so they take in more light.
What will I receive?
A rooted plant, similar to the one in the photos. Each plant is an individual, so leaf size and color can vary a little.
How does Hoya Vitellinoides ship?
We ship within the United States by USPS from our California warehouse. Orders leave within 1–3 business days and usually arrive 2–5 days later. Shipping is $12 for the first plant and $4 for each extra plant. Hawaii is a flat $30.
Ordering in cold weather? We can add a heat pack to the box for a small extra fee. Message us when you place your order.
If your plant arrives dead or badly damaged, tell us within 3 days of delivery and include an unboxing video. We will send a replacement.
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. Plant material crossing borders needs a phytosanitary certificate, and some countries also ask for an import permit, so they will check your country’s rules with you.
