ON THIS PLANT
The Hoya Callistophylla (Hoya Callistophylla), also known as the Wax Vine, is a flowering evergreen succulent with beautiful leaves that is native to Southeast Asia and may be found in parts of Australia and New Zealand. Its popularity is owing to the texture of the leaves, and it is cultivated for its dependable, attractive, and fragrant blossoms. However, this Hoya grows slowly and seldom flowers. Hoya collectors are obsessed with the vivid, veined leaves rather than the blooms. Light-colored leaves with black veins are rare, making this Hoya a wonderful addition to any collector's shelf.
