Hoya Pubicalyx is the hoya for people who want things to happen: long, lance-shaped leaves splashed with silver, on vines that actually grow. It climbs or trails with real energy, and it is one of the easiest hoyas to bring into bloom.
Give it a trellis or let it spill from a hanging pot. In bright light the stems blush purple and the silver splash gets bolder, and a settled plant flowers in clusters of fragrant pink stars.
