Hoya obscura 'Cryptic Chrome' — Rooted 8-Leaf Starter Plant in 3.5" Pot

'Cryptic Chrome' is one of those obscura selections people chase for the surface of the leaf - the chrome-toned, flecked look that gives the clone its name and tends to deepen as leaves harden off in brighter light. Eight leaves and a live growth point mean this starter is already past the anxious stage of a fresh cutting; the roots are established, and it's simply building. Hoya obscura subsp. hyperborea-side plants of this group are described as climbing epiphytes from Borneo through the Philippines, which is a useful hint for growing it: it will reward something to climb, a chunky airy mix, and light that stays bright without baking. Given a trellis or a pole, obscura tends to run rather than sulk, and the new leaves are typically where the best coloration shows up. It's potted in a 3.5-inch pot in Fox Farm Coco Loco, currently in perfect condition with no known issues, so it can move straight onto your shelf without a repot.
