Hoya walliniana (UT-152)

Hoya walliniana, named after Swedish Hoya collector Pierre Wallin, is a standout even among exotic plants, hailing from the lowland forests of Borneo (Sabah and Sarawak). This species was introduced to the botanical community by Dale Kloppenburg and Torill Nyhuus in 2003.

Unlike its variegated counterpart, which is known for being particularly challenging to grow, this Hoya proves to be remarkably low-maintenance. It’s a fast grower and very forgiving with drought, making it a perfect candidate for both budding and seasoned plant enthusiasts who might not have the time or conditions to manage more demanding species. This Hoya doesn’t just survive; it thrives with minimal fuss, rewarding growers with its resilient nature.
