Hello Hoya hive mind! Would anyone be able to help me with an ID? My friend gave me this lighter shade Hoya and I thought it was an Australis but the stem is way firmer and thicker than my other Australis. Thoughts? The leaves are also lighter and seem grooved?

It looks an Australis that needs more fertilizer.

It gets fertilized on the same schedule. The edges are also grooved, unlike the tenuipes.

Pachyclada 🤔

Maybe the leaves are too thin. Not sure.

Closest I think! But yeah the leaves are really thin
