Also called Twisted Hoya, due to the fact that the twisted leaves seem to almost wrap around giving it the appearance of a rope. Its habit is rather drooping, while the common variety Hoya Carnosa, known as the ''wax plant'' or ''porcelain flower'', is a climbing plant. Its spectacular flowering brings together between thirty and fifty small waxy star-shaped flowers. The magnificent white and pink flowers gain brilliance in the evening. However, it rarely flowers before its 2 years. To promote its flowering, it is recommended to install it in a bright room and to reduce the frequency of repotting. She likes to be tight in her potty!
