No fragrance. Flowers last for 1-2 days. Sun exposure: Requires bright and warm growing conditions. Flowers better under higher sunshine levels. Water requirement: Enjoys high humidity. Do not allow potting medium to totally dry out between waterings. Prefers well-draining, open mix. Maintenance: Low. Half strength doses of fertilise in growing period. Special note: Very rare hoya.
