Hoya paziae reminds very much of Hoya cembra. Some say this species might be a hybrid between Hoya cembra and Hoya schneei, but it is not certain so I'll keep the name Hoya paziae on my plant. 

Hoya paziae has a shrubby growth. The branches grow upwards until their weight make them hang down. I grow my plant supported by a trellis but it needs help around since it does not twine at all. I guess it would be best suited for the hanging basket. The leaves are dark green but new

growth has a reddish tint. It flowers in a window facing north and seems to require a lot of water. As long as the soil is kept moist the plant flowers regularly. It doesn´t seem to be tricky to grow so I would recommend it for the beginner.
