This is one of the sweetest little Hoyas! I received a cutting of the pink blooming variety a few years ago and although it's been a slow grower, it rooted quickly and bloomed the next year. I love the cute little blooms which are very fragrant!
My growing conditions: Zone 10a, East Central Florida with hot summers, mild winters and a fair amount of humidity almost year round. I use a fast draining potting medium consisting of potting soil and mix in extra perlite and orchid bark mix. My plants receive bright
light but no direct sun.
