# Is my Hoya healthy? This is my first Hoya. All of the new leaves are…

_Posted by Amateur plant mama on 2026-09-15_

Is my Hoya healthy? This is my first Hoya. All of the new leaves are so much bigger than the orignal leaves. I'm loving all the colors. She's still growing upright and not trailing at all. Is this normal behavior?

Wow! Those are huge leaves! I haven’t seen one grow like that. Looks more like a philodendron!

I have zero experience with Hoyas. But this looks spectacular! 🤩  
Just check if it’s not an adaptation to low light. Maybe it is just the natural maturation of the plant.

Thank you! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong with her.

That is def an australis lisa and she is beautiful!! They do love to climb vertically so of you can trellis her she would love it!
