Why You’ll Love It
Coveted Hybrid Parentage: A premier, deliberate cross pairing two heavyweight veined species—Hoya finlaysonii and Hoya meredithii.
Tapered, Pointed Foliage: Distinct from sister hybrid 'Larisa' (which features softer, rounded apexes), 'Irina' exhibits elegant, elongated leaf tips with a sharper, tapered profile.
High-Contrast Geometric Venation: Produces firm, cardboard-thick leaves mapped with a network of stark, dark green to near-black etched lattice veins across a lighter lamina.
Robust, Steady Climber: Famed for its vigorous constitution, happily pushing sturdy climbing vines that anchor readily onto trellises and climbing poles.
Queensland Grown: Established locally in our precision substrate to support a smooth, gentle transition into your care.
Botanical Profile & Care
An ultra-rare botanical masterpiece combining two of the most iconic veined taxa in the genus. Hoya 'Irina' captures the best foliar attributes of Hoya finlaysonii and Hoya meredithii, producing thick, rigid, leathery leaf plates defined by deeply sculpted, geometric venation. Unlike 'Larisa', 'Irina' is recognized by its sharper, elegantly tapered leaf apexes. To preserve its high-contrast, saturated emerald veining and avoid light-induced foliar bleaching, grow 'Irina' in strong indirect lighting rather than scorching direct sun. Grown and hardened off in our signature coarse precision substrate, this established specimen arrives sturdy, healthy, and actively climbing.
Foliage: Thick, cardboard-firm leaves with tapered tips and pronounced dark green geometric lattice veining.
Growth Habit: Robust and vigorous twining climber; thrives when guided up a trellis or bamboo support.
Light: Bright, indirect light; best positioned out of intense direct sun to preserve vivid, high-contrast foliar green tones.
Substrate: Potted in our signature Hoyaland Precision Mix (Kiwi bark, tree fern fibre, pumice, Akadama, and sphagnum).
Water: Allow the top 50% of the substrate to dry out between thorough waterings.
1-of-1 Guarantee: The plant pictured is the exact specimen you will receive.
