Hoya linearis, also called the Trailing Porcelain Flower, is a dreamy, curtain-like Hoya with soft, needle-like foliage that cascades elegantly from its pot. Unlike its waxy-leafed cousins, this Hoya feels almost feather-light and ethereal. When mature, it produces clusters of sweetly scented white star-shaped flowers, making it a favourite among collectors and plant lovers who want something a little different.
