Variant

Hoya Lacunosa Mint, commonly referred to as the Cinnamon Hoya, is a delightful variant of the popular Hoya lacunosa species, known for its compact size and fragrant blooms. This cultivar features small, ovate leaves with a slightly crinkled texture, adding a touch of softness to its appearance. The leaves of 'Mint' are distinguished by their lighter green, almost minty hue, which can vary slightly depending on light exposure. Hoya lacunosa 'Mint' is particularly cherished for its clusters of tiny, star-shaped flowers that emit a sweet, cinnamon-like fragrance, hence the name. This Hoya is ideal for small spaces and does well in hanging baskets or as a tabletop plant, where its trailing vines and charming flowers can be displayed beautifully.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Hoya Lacunosa Mint

Sun: Indirect

Hoya Lacunosa Mint should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Bright

Hoya Lacunosa Mint will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When mostly dry

Hoya Lacunosa Mint likes the soil to be relatively dry before the next watering. That usually takes about 2 weeks in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. droopy, floppy, or soft leaves). Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: Medium

Hoya Lacunosa Mint will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided, give them a mist daily or get a humidifier.

Pet Friendly

You can feel comfortable having Hoya Lacunosa Mint around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants.

Plant Story

Introducing the Hoya Lacunosa 'Mint', a delicate and aromatic houseplant that not only brings a touch of serene elegance to your indoor garden but also symbolizes the subtle beauty of nature and the joy of sensory experiences.

The Hoya Lacunosa 'Mint' is celebrated for its small, ovate leaves with a fresh, minty green hue, adding a light and airy feel to its surroundings. This variety of Hoya is particularly admired for its ability to produce clusters of tiny, star-shaped flowers that emit a delightful cinnamon-vanilla fragrance, transforming any space into a more inviting and aromatic environment.

To care for your Hoya Lacunosa 'Mint', provide it with bright, indirect sunlight. While it can adapt to lower light levels, ample indirect light encourages more vigorous growth and enhances the production of its fragrant blooms. The need for bright but indirect light is a gentle reminder that even the most beautiful growth often happens under nurturing, non-harsh conditions.

Watering the Hoya Lacunosa 'Mint' should be moderate. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during the winter months when growth slows down. Overwatering can be detrimental, as Hoyas are prone to root rot in overly moist conditions. This teaches us the importance of balance and attentiveness—providing just enough resources to sustain life without overwhelming it.

The Hoya Lacunosa 'Mint' not only enchants with its visual beauty but also enhances the olfactory ambiance of your home, making it a perfect choice for plant enthusiasts who appreciate the additional dimension of fragrance. Its small size and vining nature make it ideal for hanging baskets or as a tabletop plant where its cascading vines can be admired up close.

As your Hoya Lacunosa 'Mint' matures, it becomes not just a plant but a symbol of the enchanting beauty found in simplicity and the sensory joy that nature can bring into our lives. It serves as a reminder of the delicate interactions between nature and our sensory perceptions, enhancing our appreciation for the smaller, often overlooked details.

Welcome the Hoya Lacunosa 'Mint' into your home, and let it serve as a living emblem of the subtle beauties of life, the pleasures of fragrance, and the serenity that comes from nurturing a piece of the natural world. It’s not just a plant; it's an invitation to indulge in the quiet yet profound joys of the botanical world.
