Why You’ll Love It
Elite Pedigree Pairing: A deliberate hybrid marrying two titans of the veined Hoya world—Hoya finlaysonii and Hoya meredithii.
Rounded Leaf Tip Morphology: Unlike its sibling hybrid Hoya 'Irina', 'Larisa' produces foliage with noticeably rounder, softer leaf apexes rather than narrow, sharp points.
Vivid Sunstressing Capabilities: While 'Irina' tends to wash out and pale under high light, 'Larisa' rewards bright exposure with gorgeous, rich bronze, copper, and ruby sunstress tones across the leaf plate.
Heavy Geometric Lattice Venation: Features thick, cardboard-like leaf substance etched with prominent, dark green structural veins running across a lighter green matrix.
Queensland Grown: Established locally in our custom coarse precision mix to support a smooth, gentle transition into your care.
Botanical Profile & Care
A masterclass in veined hybrid breeding. Hoya 'Larisa' combines the legendary traits of Hoya finlaysonii and Hoya meredithii, delivering rigid, cardboard-thick foliage with deeply sculpted, high-contrast lattice venation. When compared to sister cross Hoya 'Irina', 'Larisa' is easily distinguished by its rounder leaf tips and its exceptional reaction to strong light—where 'Irina' bleaches or washes out, 'Larisa' blushes into rich, saturated bronze and crimson hues. Climbing with strong, eager tendrils, it anchors firmly to trellises to create a striking architectural display. Acclimated and hardened off in our signature coarse precision substrate, this established specimen arrives healthy, well-rooted, and actively pushing new leaves.
Foliage: Thick, leathery, rounded-oval leaves featuring deeply carved dark green lattice veins, rounded tips, and dramatic bronze-to-red sunstressing.
Light: Bright, indirect light to gentle direct morning sun; handles high light effortlessly to develop its signature sunstressed blushing without washing out.
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.
