The dark green version doesn’t really like too much direct light, even under a grow light. The leaves bleach out.

Lots of great YouTube videos on how to look after your Hoya polyneura, enjoy the journey! Beautiful plant btw

Mine HATED being transplanted, and I am hoping it will bounce back!

The best way to care for this plant is to put it in a box and send it directly to me. (Just kidding; just kidding!)
