Description

Hoya wayetii is a viningepiphytic plant in the dogbane family Apocynaceae. It has attractive waxy foliage and produces sweetly scented flowers. Native to the Phillippines, it makes an easy houseplant, ideally suited for pots or a hanging basket.

The inflorescence is made up of multiple flowers, hanging or more upright, grouped in an umbell. The flowers are purple with yellow centers. They are star-shaped, and are borne in clusters that look like they are made of wax. The flower’s surface has a smooth appearance without the tiny hairs seen in many other Hoya. They are heavily scented with a slightly unpleasant fragrance and may produce excess nectar that drips from the flowers.
