Hoya imbricata is a fascinating tropical epiphytic climbing plant, Particularly appreciated by collectors for its unique growth habit and sculptural flowers. The leaves form bowl-like or shell-like structures that adapt perfectly to the surfaces where they attach. The rounded or horseshoe shape, sometimes slightly concave, creates a small natural "gutter" to retain water and organic debris. Flowering is rare and very spectacular. The flowers are flat, star-shaped, often creamy white with a purple or yellow throat, arranged in umbels. However, it rarely blooms before it is 2 years old. To encourage flowering, it is recommended to place it in a bright room and reduce the frequency of repotting. It likes to be kept tightly in its pot.

Non-toxic to animals.
