Hoya and Dischidia Gallery

These climbing plants are not carnivorous but also very interested in ants. They provide housing for the ants, who will live under their leafs. The plants are rather clever and grow their roots under their own leafs to take advantage of the excrements of their guests. For successful cultivation regular rain water showers and slightly reduced light levels are recommended.

The foilage of this Hoya belongs to the most spectacular in the genus and it offers lots of space for harboring ants. It creates clusters of beige colored fuzzy flowers. It is native in the Philippines and sourced straight from our farm. One sales plant has at least two large leafs.

H. imbricata

AVAILABLE FOR SALE

Since we have a lot of space on this page :), I decided to put also the flower of this plant. They are known for their intense and pleasant scent. Once the flower has wilted the stalk should be kept intact, as it will flower again on the same stalk. In case you wonder why the background is blue sky, then you are guessing right, the photographer (aka me) is lying flat on the ground to take this image from below.

H. obovata var. Kerrii

AVAILABLE FOR SALE

I am not so sure if there is really a Hoya obovata var. Kerrii, but this was the name given by our wholesale channel. According to my research there is Hoya obovata with very pretty flowers and Hoya kerrii with nice heart shaped leaves. There is a chance that we have both features combined in this form.
