Hoya latifolia Pot of Gold’

Hoya latifolia ‘Pot of Gold’ is a striking golden form of the broad-leafed Hoya latifolia, with large, thick leaves that emerge a rich buttery yellow and mature through gold and chartreuse into a warmer olive-green. The bold veining of the species is preserved throughout, giving every leaf structure and depth.

Origins

Hoya latifolia is native to Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Thailand, and parts of Indonesia, where it grows as an epiphyte in lowland and lower-montane tropical forests. ‘Pot of Gold’ is a cultivated golden form selected for its distinctive yellow leaf colour.

Soil and Substrate

As a broad-leafed epiphyte, Hoyas needs a sharply drained, airy substrate. Our Hoya Mix is ideally suited. The chunky blend of bark, perlite, coco husk, and charcoal keeps roots aerated, drains freely to prevent rot.
