This species comes from Sulawesi; it grows and flowers well and it is one of the first to start flowering in the new season; an ideal plant for the collector. In the wild it clambers through the trees. Assuming you do not have a tree in your greenhouse or house to support it, you can grow it as a hanging plant. The stems will grow to more than a meter, so give it enough space. Because it is very free-flowering, it attracts moths in the greenhouse which is good for pollination. You always get viable seed which should be sown as soon as possible. Fresh seed will germinate 100 per cent, but if kept too long, the germination is drastically reduced. One ‘problem’ if you have more hoyas around, the seedling could very well turn out to be a hybrid as cross-pollination is likely.
