Unusual Hoya with Fishtail-like Leaves

As the species comes from the Himalayas, it tolerates lower temperatures than many other hoyas; some growers have even managed to cultivate it outdoors during winter in areas with snow and sub-zero temperatures!

Although the leaves are not as thick as those of H. kerrii, it is hardier than one might think and can tolerate various growing conditions.
