Hoya 'Chouke' is a popular hybrid variety known for its decorative foliage and ease of care. Its leaves are thick, fleshy, and slightly elongated, deep green, and can develop reddish or purplish hues under bright light. Its climbing or trailing habit makes it an ideal plant for hanging baskets or supports. Under good conditions, it produces beautiful umbels of star-shaped, waxy, and delicately scented flowers. It rarely flowers before 2 years of age. To promote flowering, it is recommended to place it in a bright room and reduce the frequency of repotting. It likes to be snug in its pot.
