There has been a lot<br />
of buzz over Hoya lacunosa<br />
“Snow Caps.”<br />
Where did that plant<br />
originate?<br />
“This is a beautiful<br />
plant. We simply<br />
found one vine out of<br />
thousands that had a<br />
chlorophyll-deficient<br />
chimera. We selected<br />
it, continued to grow<br />
and reselected until<br />
it was stable. This is<br />
a nice addition to<br />
our Hoya mix.”<br />
Hoya lacunosa ‘Snow Caps’<br />
What are some species that you’ve tried that didn’t work out in the long run? What about<br />
them didn’t work out?<br />
“Hoya multiflora is the first one that comes to mind. It simply grew too big too fast<br />
and did not have the right growth structure for a hanging basket in our opinion. We<br />
also tried Hoya carnosa ‘Marlea’ and found it to be too unstable.”<br />
