Hoya Crassipetiolata is the sturdy one: thick, oval leaves with a silvery splash, carried on noticeably strong stems. It is less common than the big-name hoyas, which is exactly why collectors keep an eye out for it.
It grows as a well-behaved vine for a trellis or a high shelf, and mature plants bloom in pale, fragrant clusters. The leaves feel substantial in the hand, more succulent than most hoyas.
