Any ideas on what type of plant this is? I think it’s a Hoya and I’ve tried to look for its exact type but the closest I could find is variegated Hoya and it looks close but not exact.

I found it at a small plant shop with no labels on the plants for some reason, and there was a ton of other Hoyas next to it which were all different varieties.

I'm getting this when I get Planta to identify it.

I'm not convinced though. Maybe someone with experience can ID it better.

Looks to me like a Hoya Australis Lisa but I’m not a Hoya expert. I don’t think it looks like a rubber plant.

I think you’re right! I saw some pictures and I’m so excited to see if I get any pink leaves.

This is a hoya Australis Lisa. Below is what mine looked like prior to scale and mealy bugs.😒

Ok thank you! When did yours start to grow pink on its leaves?

### Molly commented on 2025-09-01

You're welcome! Mine was sitting under a Sansi growlight and once it grew taller towards the light, that's when the leaves started tuning pink. This was about the size of yours when I got it ,took about a year to get to this size. I fertized with Orchid fertilizer. Happy growing 🙂

Definitely Hoya Australis Lisa! Heres mine! Give it tons of light and these babies thrive!
