šø Hoya Ovata Hanging Kokedama
Bold oval leaves. Fragrant blooms. A collector's treasure.
The Hoya Ovata is a striking and less commonly seen hoya species that stands apart from the crowd. Its large, thick, oval leaves are a deep, lustrous green ā sometimes with attractive silver flecking ā and its trailing vines have a bold, architectural quality that makes it a standout display plant.
Like all hoyas, it rewards patient growers with clusters of sweetly fragrant, star-shaped flowers. Presented in a handcrafted hanging kokedama, this is a rare and rewarding addition to any plant collection in Nairobi.
