Hoya chinghungensis (WA Prohibited)

Hoya chinghungensis is a slender, fine-stemmed species with narrow green leaves and a lightly vining growth habit. The leaves are smooth with a thin to medium texture, and the plant produces small rounded clusters of pale pink to cream flowers with subtly darker centres. Blooms carry a light fragrance and sit neatly along the stems.

The species prefers warm conditions, bright filtered light and a lightly drying cycle. Its finer roots respond well to an airy potting mix, and growth is most consistent when temperatures remain stable through the year. Gentle feeding during the warmer months supports new shoots and flowering.
