Hoya Rigida kinda looks like Carnosa's big-boned brother with larger, rumply leaves, spaced farther apart and traily. With long and large leaves for a Hoya, he's colored mostly in medium, Hoya emerald green with random, dull silver, waxy speckling, with prominently visible veins. The in-betweens of the leaves are lower than the veins, rumpling their surfaces. Rigida is not so rigid, he vines and twines like your other Hoyas. Flowers appear (whenever he wants) starting out with a bouquet of fat, shiny cream stars, with recurved, rose-tinted tips, topped with a rose or sometimes yellow star, with another teeny little star in the very center, sometimes decorated with little red dots on the points. Some get a wine blush, some don't. People report "lightly fragrant" and "very fragrant", so we guess you'll have to wait and see what yours does.

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.
