Hoya Verticillata Star Dust

Hoya verticillata 'Star Dust' — a Southeast Asian species named for the whorled (verticillate) arrangement of its narrow leaves along trailing vines. The 'Star Dust' selection carries dense silver speckling across each leaf, the flecks catching light like scattered stardust. One of the more amenable verticillatas — tolerates a range of light and rewards good care with clusters of small pink-and-white flowers, often lightly fragrant.

Also known as: Hoya acuta 'Star Dust'.

What you'll receive: Choose your form above. Grower's choice unless otherwise noted in the variant selection — we hand-select a healthy specimen; exact size, leaf count, and patterning vary between individuals.

• Unrooted cuttings & newly rooted plants: potted in our rooting medium (moss petals, perlite, tree fern fiber, small Orchitata, myco). Cuttings can be shipped bare/in damp moss instead — message us at the time of order if you'd prefer that.
• Established plants: potted in tree fern fiber, perlite, coconut husk, myco (occasionally moss petals), with slow-release 14-14-14 fertilizer balls.

Care:

• Light: Bright, indirect
• Water: Slightly underwatered; let dry partway between waterings
• Humidity: 50% tolerated; 60%+ encourages stronger leaf expression and faster growth
• Peduncles: Don't disturb flower spurs once they appear — Hoyas rebloom from the same spot year after year

Insulation and/or Heat Pack strongly recommended for shipping when temperatures drop below 50°F.
