Hoya Icensis AKA Hoya Patcharawalai is an unusual and highly-desirable Hoya cultivar featuring succulent, broadly oval to ovate leaves with a thick texture and a distinctive dark-colored margin around the leaf edge. The plant grows as a trailing or twining vine, making it well-suited for hanging baskets or elevated displays. Its flowers emerge in clusters of star-shaped blooms with white corollas and bright pink to purple coronas, and are often described as having a licorice-like scent.

Features:

  • Thick, succulent leaves that are broadly oval/ovate in shape.

  • Prominent dark leaf margin — a key diagnostic feature.

  • Potential for nice fragrance and bloom clusters when mature.

  • Compact vining habit — looks great in hanging or trailing display.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Some gentle morning or late afternoon sun can be beneficial to enhance foliage color and bloom potential.

  • Watering: Allow the potting mix to dry out partially between waterings. Hoya icensis is sensitive to overly wet soil and root‑rot is a risk.

  • Soil & Drainage: Use a very well‑draining, airy mix (for example: orchid bark + perlite + coarse substrate) to mimic epiphytic conditions.

  • Temperature & Humidity: Warm indoor conditions (~18‑27 °C / 65‑80 °F) and moderate to high humidity will support growth. Protect from cold drafts.

  • Display & Growth Habit: Because it trails or climbs, place it where vines can hang or climb freely. Avoid crowding it in a small pot as it matures.

  • Bloom Encouragement: To maximize chance of flowering, ensure good light, moderate root bounding, and consistent care. The dark margin foliage is more the showpiece than the bloom for many growers.
