Hoya patella is a more delicate species with narrow green leaves and fine vining stems. The foliage is smooth with a thin to medium texture, and the plant produces unusual flat, open-faced flowers in shades of yellow to orange with deeper centres. Blooms are carried in small clusters and present a distinctive shape compared with many other hoyas. The plant prefers bright filtered light, warm stable temperatures and a lightly drying cycle. Its fine roots and slender growth benefit from an airy mix and steady humidity. Regular feeding in the warmer months supports vine growth and flowering.
