Hoya sp. aff. vitellina comes from Java. It's a very strong and healthy plant that grows quickly. The leaves are long and tough with dark purple edges and beautiful bright veins. When the leaves are in the sun, they turn a rich red color.
The flowers are orange-gold, shaped like stars, and are about 12mm wide. They have a white center and up to 20 flowers can be on one bunch. They smell nice, but not too strong.
Recreate a dense forest environment. Very little, if any, direct sunlight should hit the plant at any time of the day.

Intermediate: Lowest 60F
This hoya does not require high heat, but does not tolerate cold as well as other varieties.
