It is an extremely elegant trailer because the leaves are very close to each other on the stem so it appears to flow out of the pot. It is hard not to like Hoyas given that they are easy to took after, having stunning young foilage and also produce flower that it is impossible to have a favourite. But if pressed this would probably be this one which, when happy, can produce a trail as long as 150cm.
