This Hoya impresses with its soft variegated leaves as well as its finely haired, cream-colored flowers, which resemble those of the Hoyas caudata and flagellata and enchant with their delicate wave shape and pink center. The Hoya, which is rarely found on the market, thrives best when it is given climbing supports or cultivated in a hanging basket.
