Why You'll Love It

Naturally Adapted to Thrive Indoors

Native to the Philippines, this hoya is a type of scrambling shrub that climbs high in tropical canopies. Indoors, it mimics this habit by sending out long, whip-like vines that search for support. Its semi-succulent leaves store water, making it ideal for anyone who tends to forget the occasional watering.

• Red Button - Minimal silver, deep burgundy flowers

It's often impossible to tell which cultivar you have until the flowers bloom-an exciting surprise for plant lovers.
