Hoya Kalimantan - when I got this plant I straight away rotted the main stem right off the roots. Lost many leaves in the process. Surprising how quickly root rot can take over when you are oblivious to it. It has been nicely rerooted and several newer leaves with another tiny one started so I upgraded its trellis. I love the dark thick cardboard type leaves with beautiful veins and shine.

Beautiful. Looks embossed.  
I fully understand how fast root rot can damage a hoya. My hoya macrophylla struggled.
