Hoyas

Hoya species and cultivars
These climbing or trailing plants are popular as potted specimens all over the world. In warm climates like most of Queensland, they can be grown outdoors in a well-lit position but protected from the strongest sun.

They're well known for their preference for being pot-bound. Another important characteristic of Hoyas is their habit of flowering from the same points year after year. Don't cut off spent flowers as you risk damaging the shoot (spur) from which they'll produce flowers next time.
