Hoya retusa

Different from any other species in the genus, this small Hoya from India has flat, narrow, long, thin leaves that grow in clusters. The fragrant white flowers whit dark red coronas are one to three to a cluster.

Hoyas in general are twining vines. They usually live in rainforests, on trees. Most species are easy to grow because they can grow in many different conditions. They grow in bright shade or morning sun but they will also grow indoors as house plants as long as bright light is provided. They are well suited for baskets, trellises or ladders. They will tolerate a few weeks of drought but they are sensitive to frost and cold weather in general. Hoyas grow in fluffy soil with organic matter and sand or other draining materials.
