Each Hoya plant is carefully selected from our stock, ensuring that you receive a specimen of exceptional quality. The plants shown in the pictures represent examples of our actual stock, and while each plant is unique, you can expect to receive a plant with similar characteristics.

One of the highlights of the Hoya is its clusters of delicate, star-shaped flowers that usually emit a sweet fragrance. These blooms appear in shades of pink or white, adding a delightful touch to the overall charm of the plant. Currently, our plants are not blooming but in the proper care, you can anticipate the joy of witnessing these beautiful blossoms.
