Description
Hoya cumingiana plant has waxy, FLOWulent leaves. Its small leaves grow close together due to its very short internodes, giving it a bushy appearance. Their leaves stay green throughout the year and do not shed like other seasonal plants.
It blooms in clusters of yellow star shaped flowers with purple centers or coronas. They grow in small clusters that contain 5-10 flowers each & emit a spicy cinnamon aroma.
Environment
Easy to grow & don't require much attention. Hoya do best in filtered light or with lots of artificial light in indoors.
Hoya plants don't ask for much, beyond the well-draining soil and the warm humid conditions (similar to bromeliads and orchids)
They are epyphite, can be grown in orchid medium or light potting mix with lots of bark conditioner. Hoya like the security of a snug pot, and plants that are a bit root bound will flower more prolifically than those that are swimming around in a giant pot.
This plant is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds .
Landscape Use
It makes a nice hanging basket, but also does really well as a mounted plant
