Hoya davidcummingii is a beautiful and unique epiphytic plant native to the island of Luzon in the Philippines.  

Description 

Hoya davidcummingii has wiry stems with thick, dark green leaves that have darker edges and lighter undersides. The leaves are elliptical to lance-shaped, measuring up to 4 inches (10 cm) long and 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. The plant produces attractive hemispherical clusters of up to 20 star-shaped flowers. The flowers are pink to purplish-pink with yellow centers and emit a sweet fragrance. They appear all year round and last for up to 5 days. It is a trailing vine with small roots growing on the stems, which help anchor the plant to a supporting structure and gather moisture and nutrients.  

Native Habitat: Endemic to the Philippines, specifically the dense forests along the roadside in the Bulusan Volcano Natural Park in the Province of Sorsogon. Grows as an epiphyte or lithophyte in humid, tropical environments. 

Care and Cultivation: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can be too intense, especially in the afternoon. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Requires well-draining soil that provides excellent aeration and does not hold too much water. Prefers high humidity, reflecting its rainforest origins. Misting with rainwater is recommended for foliar feeding. Thrives in warm temperatures between 60-85°F (16-29°C). Keep it away from drafty windows and doorways during the colder months. Can be propagated through stem cuttings. Plant the cuttings in a well-draining growing medium and keep them in bright, indirect light.  

Fun Fact: The specific epithet "davidcummingii" honors David M. Cumming, an Australian Hoya collector who first collected a specimen of the species near Lake Bulusan.
