Native Singaporean Orchid notes: Hoya imperialis
|
Hoya imperialis - Used in Citrus 8 (Women) for Team building Perfume workshop
Hoya imperialis are large flowers and get spectacular pink with white corona when mature. Sometimes the corona is pink as well. It is a good bloomer and you will feel very rewarded when you see the flowers. Since Hoyas are likely to bloom earlier and more often in smaller pots, don't use a pot that is too big. Another tip for Orchid lovers- keep the room temperature above 60F. Hoya's are known to grow fast, but this one will exceed all expectations. We found someone stating that their grew 30ft in 18 months. The flowers smell amazing in the evening, with hints of Neroli. They are fragrant, in fact very fragrant. |
