This plant was named after a British naturalist, Hugh Cuming, who explored a lot of the Philippines and surrounding areas. Hoya cumingiana is a hardy and fast-growing plant that comes from the Philippines. You will find it hanging out on the limestone cliffs in the full tropical sun. It sports foliage with small scalloped shaped leaves on strong upright stems. The blooms on this plant will be star shaped with yellow flowers and with a maroon corona. Do not let this Hoya sit in excess water. As an ephiphytes they get more of their water from morning dew or moisture in the air. This plant is tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions but it would prefer a more humid environment for the best growth.
