Hoya Rubida 🌿
Scientific name: Hoya rubida (Apocynaceae family).
Native to Borneo and Southeast Asia, this species is cherished for its oval, slightly pointed leaves that display warm red to bronze tones under bright light. The trailing vines and soft blush coloration make it a unique, ornamental species among hoyas. Its name “rubida” refers to the reddish hue of new growth, which deepens with light exposure.
