Heuschkeliana, named after Heuschkel, of course, was discovered in the Philippines (not by Heuschkel, though) colonizing low altitude rainforests. Luminous, satiny green leaves are rounded ovals with a faint, darker green outline around the edges, tumbling down wiry, viny vines. Some leaves are a couple of inches or so, some stay diminutive, some with an odd pinch to them. Undersides are a clear, even green with that dark outline, maybe even prettier than the topsides. Trailing nicely like its other green Hoya cousins, it will get a couple of feet long (or maybe more?) The flowers are fun little bunches of puffy, pink, pentagonal pillows. Right on the face of each pillow is a little, perfectly shaped burgundy pentagon, finally finished with an unassuming cream colored dot. Those will happen whenever.

Quick Care Guide:
- Water - Low/Med (2): Doesn't need as much water, but doesn't like to stay dry for too long. Plant will become droopy when really thirsty.
- Light - Med/High (4): Needs more light than most, but direct light not necessary. Can handle morning and afternoon sun directly on leaves.
- Difficulty - Low (1): These plants need barely any attention to thrive. Set it and forget it.
