Like most Hoyas, this slow growing epiphyte is easy to care for and rewards patience with spectacular blooms that return year after year.
Plant Care
Light

Growth Habit
A slow growing trailing or climbing vine with long, narrow leaves.
Propagation
Easily propagated through stem cuttings with at least one node.
Pet Safety
Pet Friendly.
Hoya insularis is considered non toxic to cats and dogs, making it an excellent choice for pet friendly homes.
