🌱 Hoya 🌱

Many species of Hoya are popular houseplants, grown for their attractive foliage and strongly scented flowers. Numerous cultivars have been selected for different leaf forms or flower colours. Hoyas grow well indoors, preferring bright light, but will tolerate fairly low light levels, although they may not flower without bright light. Hoya leaves vary in size, texture, colour and venation. In size, leaves range from as small as 5 mm in length to as large as 25 cm by 35 cm. Some Hoya leaves appear to be veinless while others have very conspicuous veins of a lighter or darker colour. Some leaves are mottled with speckles of silvery white; others have leaves that are thin and translucent; some are so thick and succulent that they look more like crassulas than hoyas. Hoya flowers are all shaped like five pointed stars. Some species' petals reflex so far that the flowers appear to be round or ball-like.
