Hoya waymaniae 'Malaysia'

Hoya waymaniae ‘Malaysia’ is a thick-leafed species with medium green leaves that may show subtle veining and a slightly textured surface. Stems are strong and vining, and the plant produces clusters of orange to reddish flowers with a warm, sweet scent. The blooms sit neatly near the stems and provide a bright contrast to the foliage.

This plant prefers warm, humid conditions, bright filtered light and a lightly drying cycle. Its thicker leaves respond well to an airy, free-draining mix, and growth is most reliable when humidity and temperature remain steady. Regular feeding during the warmer months supports vine growth and flowering.
