Hoya microdwarf NS12-323

Unrooted cutting of Hoya microdwarf NS12-323.
Three to five nodes.

Hoya sp. NS12-323 (Microdwarf) is an unidentified collector Hoya known for its exceptionally tiny foliage and delicate, closely spaced growth.

The leaves are miniature, oval to slightly elongated, and marked with pale, web-like venation that stands out against the green surface. Depending on growing conditions, the foliage may also develop warmer bronze, peach, pink, or reddish tones, especially on newer growth.

Despite the name “Microdwarf,” the plant itself can produce surprisingly long vines. What remains miniature is the foliage: the tiny leaves and relatively close spacing give the plant a fine, almost lace-like appearance.

NS12-323 is an accession-style designation rather than a botanical species name. The exact species identity, original collection locality, and meaning of the NS12-323 code do not appear to be well documented in publicly available sources.

One particularly interesting mystery is the flower. As of the information we were able to find, specialist growers still report no reliably documented bloom for NS12-323, so its flower shape and coloration remain uncertain.

Name in cultivation: Hoya sp. NS12-323
Common trade name: Microdwarf
Species identification: Undetermined

Please note that leaf size, coloration, internode length, and the visibility of the venation may vary under different growing conditions.

A note about this plant: The accession, naming, identity, and horticultural information above was gathered from publicly available online sources. We have not found original collection, accession, or botanical identification documentation explaining the NS12-323 designation or establishing the exact natural origin of this plant. Flowering also remains poorly documented, so we cannot independently confirm or deny its complete botanical history.
