This is an evergreen, climber with opposite pairs of fleshy mid-green leaves. It is best positioned in either morning sun or semi shade. This Hoya produces white flowers with a red calyx and flowers in profusion and is a repeat bloomer INDOORS: Most Hoya are well suited to hanging baskets or ladders and can be grown indoors under pot culture in a warm position but flowering is sometimes difficult. SOILS: The vine will enjoy most soil types but prefers well drained gravelly soils, moist but not wet, warm but frost free above 4 degrees. PLANTING: Dig the hole twice the size of the pot and plant level with the surrounding soil. Mounding can help with wetter soils.
