I bought this hoya as an unrooted cutting in September 2011 from Australia. The cutting that arrived was long enough to cut in two pieces and still get a nice start of a plant. Since I got it has been under grow lights and it seems to like it. It seemed to take a while to root, but now it has started growing quite well...

The leaves on this hoya are not as big as I would have thought they would be, but the will perhaps get bigger... They are 8-12 cm long and 6-9 cm wide, have visible raised veins and seem to get nicely red in the sun.

The flowers will be a surprise! I have no idea what they will look like and I can't find any description of them. Not even in the sales list from Australia... but, with a bit of luck I'll see them on my plant within a near future.
