HOYA MEDUSA // RARE SHRUB-LIKE SPECIMEN
Mythical Serpentine Blooms on a Dense, Bronzy Silhouette. The Hoya 'Medusa' (formerly known as Hoya sp. 'Cottonbell') is a truly extraordinary plant that captivates with its distinct beauty, especially its famously unusual flowers. Named for the serpentine processes of its inner corona that resemble the snake headdress of the mythical Medusa, this Hoya is a must-have for any serious collector.
It exhibits a gorgeous, compact, shrub-like growth habit with delicate, thin-textured foliage. The leaves themselves remain sleek and straight, with fresh growth points emerging in stunning bronzy hues before maturing into a solid, rich dark green.
Beyond the foliage, this species is an absolute powerhouse of a bloomer, constantly loading its canopy with clusters of small, pristine white star-shaped flowers that emit a sweet, jasmine-like fragrance and last up to 15 days on the vine.
Blooms: Incredibly prolific white star-shaped flowers displaying highly detailed, close-up serpentine lobes projecting into a green-gold inner corona.
Specimen Status: Fully nursery-established and winter-hardened under local greenhouse conditions. Strong root system with active growth points. Best suited to intermediate temperatures between 15–35°C.
Foliage & Care: Non-twisting, thin, compact shrub growth that flushes with rich bronzy tones under bright light. Thrives in bright, indirect light and a highly well-draining, open mix. Water less in winter.
1-of-1 Guarantee: The plant pictured is the exact specimen you receive.
