This Hoya is a real eye-catcher, firstly because of its pretty speckled leaves and secondly because of its delicately fragrant, long-stemmed flowers that shimmer like cream-colored mother-of-pearl. Like most hoyas, it can be kept in a hanging basket or is happy with climbing supports on which it can ascend.
