This is a hoya I never knew I needed since it is not common or popular. I bought this Hoya David’s Green Cup as an afterthought because I was buying other hoyas online and it was relatively cheap, under $15, from the same seller. It quickly became a favorite growing four times the initial length in about a year. It’s a Hoya Carnosa and Hoya Obovata cross. It’s has teardrop leaves.

It’s an easy care plant and is still in its original 4” plastic nursery pot. It looks a bit dry in the photos and needs water.
