Hoya curtisii
Couldn't load pickup availability
Hoyas are popular, low-maintenance trailing houseplants. Known for their waxy leaves and fragrant star-shaped flower clusters, these are some of the easiest and most forgiving plants. Hoya curtisii is a cute species with small, pointed leaves with speckled variegation. Thinner leaves mean this Hoya requires more water than its thicker-leaf relatives.
