Hoya 'Lacunosa' - Cinnamon Delight: Fragrant Waxvine with Night-Blooming Flowers

Looking for a houseplant that's sweet and spicy? Meet Cinnamon Delight, officially known as Hoya 'Lacunosa', the plant that perfumes your evenings with a rich cinnamon aroma. This small-leafed vining wonder from Indonesia loves to cascade from hanging baskets, its stems decorated with fuzzy, fragrant white blossoms. From spring to fall, these nocturnal blooms reappear from old spurs, making it the gift that just keeps on giving. Even if you've got a “black thumb,” this easy-going beauty tolerates dry air and neglectful watering. Now that's a plant worth celebrating!

Benefits:

• Fragrant Blooms: Fills your home with a delightful cinnamon scent, especially in the evenings.
• Low Maintenance: Perfect for the forgetful gardener, it thrives with minimal attention.
• Versatile Décor: Ideal for hanging baskets, adding a trailing elegance to any space.
• Extended Blooming Season: Flowers from spring to fall, offering continuous visual and aromatic delight.
• Adaptable: Tolerates dry atmospheres and minimal watering.

Care Instructions:

Cinnamon Delight enjoys bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Water it thoroughly, but let the soil dry out between waterings—it’s a fan of the "less is more" watering philosophy. Feel free to occasionally mist the leaves to imitate its humid tropical homeland. The plant thrives in temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C). Feeding it with a diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season will keep it happy and blooming.

Décor Tips:

Display Cinnamon Delight in a stylish hanging basket, letting its trailing stems create a beautiful, cascading effect. Position it near a window for the best light exposure or as an accent piece in those tricky, forgotten corners that need a touch of life and fragrance. Pair it with other leafy green companions for a lush, verdant indoor jungle vibe.
