Leaves reach up to 3", round at maturity, dark green with purple or gray blotching. When grown in a hanging basket, the leaves tend to close in half and look like little purses, provided a flat support on which to climb it will form shingle stacked leaves that create a dome shape which in the wild offer shelter to ant colonies.

 ~Do Not let Hoya sit in excess water. As epiphytes, in the wild they would be growing on tree trunks or branches in the forest understory where they would get most of their water just from dew or moisture in the air.

~Hoya are considerably hardy & tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions, but for the best growth it is recommended to provide higher levels of humidity.

~Do Not remove the peduncles [flower stalks] after your Hoya has finished flowering. Hoya are able to rebloom again & again from the same peduncle!

~Feed regularly during the growing season with a low nitrogen fertilizer containing sufficient amounts of phosphorous and potassium.
