{"product_id":"hoya-sabah","title":"Hoya 'Sabah' [ID: RP‑013]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThis Hoya's foliage is distinctive thanks to its fresh pale green colouring and the deeper forest green which stands out along its veins. Slight damage to the leaves can also cause it to discolour red, but if you do notice this, don't worry as it won't impact the plant's health. As with many other Hoyas, this one grows pairs of leaves along a vine, with the leaves starting tiny and growing bigger as they mature. With patience, you can train this vining plant to climb, or allow it to trail as it grows. Hoya can be slow growing as houseplants, but if you give them plenty of light and humidity, they can grow long vines a few feet long. This variety may even give you clusters of bright white, star-shaped, fragrant flowers if it's really happy! Choose this unusual variety and enjoy its foliage, flowers and vining growth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHoya x hybrida \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Sabah'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis plant is a hybrid variety of Hoya\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAn \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eundescribed\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e species, marketed under names like Hoya ‘Sabah’ or RP‑013.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFeatures oval green leaves with distinct dark veins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eResembles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Hoya callistophylla, but growers say it is \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003enot\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e that species\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eHoya Sabah, Wax Plant, Porcelain Flower, Wax Flower, Wax Vine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThis plant is a hybrid, but its plant ancestors were native to the Malaysian rainforest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThrives in bright, indirect light, and will benefit from a splash of morning or evening sun.
