Hoya 'Michele' is another outstanding Mike Bernardo hybrid named in honor of Dr. Michele Rodda, whose principal interest is on the taxonomy and evolution of Apocynaceae subfamilies found in Southeast Asia and neighboring regions.  Thick, waxy foliage is dark green with random silver flecks or splashes. When in bloom, the fragrance is intensely sweet and fruity!

~Do Not let Hoya sit in excess water. As epiphytes, in the wild they would be growing on tree trunks or branches in the forest understory where they would get most of their water just from dew or moisture in the air.

~Hoya are considerably hardy & tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions, but for the best growth it is recommended to provide higher levels of humidity.

~Do Not remove the peduncles [flower stalks] after your Hoya has finished flowering. Hoya are able to rebloom again & again from the same peduncle!

~Feed regularly during the growing season with a low nitrogen fertilizer containing sufficient amounts of phosphorous and potassium.
