Types
Hoyas commonly sold in nurseries as houseplants include:
- Hoya Carnosa cultivars such as ‘Krimson Princess,’ a two-toned plant with green leaf edges and white centers. New foliage often displays pink and changes to green in maturity.
- Hoya pubicalyx (often mislabelled as H. carnosa or H. purpurea-fusca)
- Hoya kentiana leaves look like a bunch of pea or bean pods hanging off the vine.
- H. kerrii, also referred to as Hoya hearts because the thick leaves are heart-shaped,
- Hoya lacunosa is a compact, green foliage plant perfect for hanging baskets. It’s a favorite for the cinnamon-scented flowers and willingness to bloom. Many varieties are available.
- Hoya linearis is a unique trailing hoya with short, cylindrical leaves. It’s perfect for a small green vertical display and can create a curtain of foliage.

My sister gave me one of her Hoyas. The flowers had a nice fragrance and would drip a sweet sap. The kids would enjoy a treat on their finger dipped in it!
