Day 261: Hoya carnosa is the hoya you're most likely to find in garden stores and plant shops. It comes with two foliage colour variations: plain green and varigated green and white. It bears large umbels (this one is almost four inches across) with a light fragrance. As houseplants go, it's virtually indestructible, although I have friends who claim they have never been able to grow one. I suspect the problem may lie in over-watering rather than under-watering, since this group of plants likes to go almost entirely dry between waterings.
