Hoya ledongensis

Hoya ledongensis is a Chinese wax plant described by S.Y. He and P.T. Li and named for Ledong County in south-western Hainan. Nothing is measured for it, but Hainan's climate is well known: a hot, wet summer and autumn and a cool, dry winter, so treat it as a warm grower that appreciates a mild, drier winter rest.
