This species, widely distributed in southeastern Asia and the Pacific Islands (including Australia), is one of the most common Hoyas in cultivation. The lancheolate leaves are green and unremarkable, albeit unmistakably belonging to the Hoya group because of their leathery feel. The inflorescence has as many as 30 flowers, which are light purple to reddish in appearance. These plants are rooted cuttings in 6-inch pots.
