The hoya vine's foliage in this photo is variegated .
Hoyas are native to India, Java, South China, Philippines and New Guinea and Australia.
It is a sprawling vine that can grow quite large. The flowers are waxy and last a long time. Flowers are seen in spring and summer and come from old flower spurs, so, never cut them off. Often seen in hanging baskets, but given a place to run or cover, hoya is a good vine in lower light conditions, or outdoors, high broken shade is best. Use a fibrous soil with peat moss or use sphagnum moss in your hanging basket.
