Hoya Kanyakumariana 6202

Hoya Kanyakumariana 🌿 — Scientific name: Hoya kanyakumariana (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae). Native to southern India, particularly the Kanyakumari region, this compact and charming Hoya species forms small, trailing vines with thick, heart-shaped leaves that are soft green and slightly fuzzy to the touch. The leaves’ textured surface and tidy arrangement give the plant a delicate, sculptural quality that pairs beautifully with minimalist or natural decor.
FLOWER DETAILS
The plant produces clusters of dainty white to cream flowers with pinkish centers, shaped like tiny stars and carrying a sweet fragrance. Blooms appear repeatedly on old peduncles during the warmer months and last for several days, offering a gentle contrast against the matte green foliage.
