Hoya verticillata (Green Form) is an easy hoya to grow. It grows fast, flowers readily and has no special needs. It´s a climber, so it´s best grown on a trellis. The leaves are thick, hard and medium green. They have some silver flecks and the light green veins are a bit raised. The leaves are about 11-14 cm long and 4-5 cm wide.

It flowers with 10-20 reflexed flowers in each cluster. The colour is, in my opinion, lovely! The corolla is lime green and the corona is white with a pink centre. The scent is

spicy but not too strong. It produces only a little nectar. Even though Hoya verticillata is a common hoya in cultivation I think it's well worth growing.
