Care Notes: A peduncle is the stalk that emerges from the stem and from which blooms develop, and it's crucial to not cut them off as they will produce more flowers in the future. 

Some species of hoya are considered slow growers and may take a significant amount of time before producing flowers.

Shipping Notes: Generous LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEE offered.

As good practice, Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly, removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home. Live plants may vary in color, size, and appearance.
