栽培 Cultivation

適合不受烈日曝曬的明亮處種植,高溼度環境可以促進生長,但整體生長速度仍較其他種類毬蘭緩慢。介質乾就澆水,隨時於枝葉上噴水對生長有幫助。肥料可美隔兩周噴一次綜合性液體肥料或每季施用一次長效性肥料。繁殖採用扦插法,於溫暖期施行。

best grown in bright-lit positions, avoid direct sun exposure. High moisture can promote growth, but it still grows slower than other Hoya plants. Water once the medium is dry, spray water on the branches and leaves at any time to help growth. Apply a compound liquid fertilizer every two weeks or a slow-release fertilizer every season. Propagated from cuttings, carried out in warm seasons.

應用 Application

適合作為吊盆懸掛栽培或使用較高的盆器種植,以欣賞四散垂曳的枝葉與花朵。開花時可暫時移入室內明亮通風處欣賞聞香,但勿久置室內以免花朵急遽凋謝。花序柄會持續開花,切勿剪除。

It is suitable to grow in hanging pots or in taller containers to display the drooping branches and flowers. When blooming, move it to a bright and aerated indoor location to enjoy the posture and fragrance, but don't keep it indoors for a long time, otherwise the flowers will wither rapidly. The inflorescence stalk will continue to bloom, so do not cut it off.
