Just a little heads-up - the color of the leaves may surprise you. If your plant arrives with green leaves instead of the red ones, don't fret; that's completely normal. The redness is actually a result of being kissed by bright light, so your green-leaved friend just hasn't been sunbathing as much.
Now, let me introduce you to something really special: Hoya sp. Gunung Gading. Discovered in the breathtaking Gunung Gading National Park in Sarawak, on Borneo Island, Malaysia, this Hoya is a true gem in the Finlaysonii complex. With leaves that flaunt stunning veining patterns and sun-stressed colors, it's more than just a plant – it's a work of art. Imagine bringing a touch of tropical beauty into your space with Hoya sp. Gunung Gading! Trust me, your plant-loving soul will thank you.
