Got this Hoya callistophylla from a local grower in Borneo and honestly the venation still doesn’t look real to me. The contrast between that deep green network and the lighter leaf surface is just insane, especially once the leaf hardens off.
This one was grown in a pretty simple setup in a humid environment, nothing fancy, which makes it even cooler. You can tell it’s been acclimated well from the start, the leaves feel thick and sturdy, not those thin, stressed ones you sometimes see.
Currently keeping it in a warm spot with bright indirect light and good airflow. It seems to enjoy staying slightly moist but never soggy. The pattern keeps getting more defined as the leaves mature.
