Most wanted Hoya varieties in 2025 – selected by our community

Hoyas continue to capture the hearts of plant lovers in 2025! These stunning houseplants come in an incredible range of shapes, sizes, colours, and leaf textures — from glossy greens to beautifully variegated patterns. With so many varieties to choose from, it’s easy to see why Hoyas remain such a favourite among collectors.

Did you know that there are now over 500 known Hoya species and hybrids? With new cultivars appearing each year, the excitement around these “Wax Plants” only keeps growing.

To celebrate this ongoing Hoya craze, we asked our PLNTS community to share which varieties have captured their hearts in 2025. From rare treasures to timeless classics, here are the Hoyas that our plant-loving community simply can’t get enough of this year!

1. Hoya Kerrii

The super cute Hoya Kerrii is by far the most popular and wanted Hoya variety of our PLNTS Community, and we totally get why. Look at how cute she is! Anyone who loves plants simply needs to have this heart shaped Hoya in their collection. And, for our variegata lovers, the amazing Hoya Kerrii is also available with variegated leaves and that’s all we really want, isn’t it?

2. Hoya Carnosa Tricolor

A steady runner up is the popular Hoya Carnosa Tricolor. This plant is a colourful cultivar of the basic green and less common form of Hoya Carnosa. The Hoya Carnosa Tricolor is a beautiful plant with thick leaves. These leaves have a green outerline and a cream center, sometimes this cream center can even be pink! Which makes the plant look super playful and a real wannahave for Hoya-lovers!

3. Hoya Wayetii

Third place goes to the eccentric Hoya Wayetii. This plant is undoubtedly one of the kinds that stands out from the rest of its family members, thanks to her long and slender leaves that are vibrant green with darker edges. With the right care, she will surprise you with some beautiful flowers that give the most spectacular blooms you’ll see!

4. Hoya Callistophylla

Another popular Hoya variety is the Hoya Callistophylla. If you are looking for a succulent climber with a beautiful leaf pattern, this girl is the one! With the right care, she can grow up to 5 meters in length and give star-shaped flowers that emit a nice amora. We challenge you to make her grow that tall!

5. Hoya Australis Lisa

The Hoya Australis Lisa is a gorgeous variegated variety of the plain green Hoya Australis and she’s a real stunner! This variegated type of Hoya Australis has a splashy yellow, cream, and light green variegation that almost resembles a watercolor pattern. Give her a nice plantstake and she will grow up in the sky!

6. Hoya Mathilde

The Hoya Mathilde is also called the Hoya Mathilde Variegata or the Hoya Mathilde Splash because of the silver specks that are lightly splashed over the plant’s green foliage. And that’s not all! If you make this beauty happy, it can produce cute and fragrant flowers for you! A real winner, this pretty Hoya!

7. Hoya Rangsan 'Star of Borneo'

The Hoya Rangsan 'Star of Borneo' is a true gem with its striking, star-shaped leaves and intricate vein patterns. The deep green foliage is beautifully contrasted by silvery lines that give each leaf a radiant, almost glowing appearance. Its glossy, waxy texture adds an extra touch of elegance, making this Hoya a real standout in any plant collection!

8. Hoya Gracilis

Hoya Gracilis or also called Hoya Memoria (Gracilis) is not just any Hoya. In our opinion, this is the Hoya that should not be missing in your home. And since she made it into the top 10, we’re not the only one thinking that! Her new leaves have a burgundy glow. Eventually, the leaves of this plant turn a beautiful green with a white almost silver mottled print. Sometimes, with good care, it even produces pink to red flowers. How cool?!

9. Hoya Flamingo Dream 'Star of Java'

The Hoya Flamingo Dream 'Star of Java' enchants with its soft pink hues and delicate variegation that resemble the graceful tones of a flamingo. Its glossy leaves shimmer with subtle shades of green and cream, creating a dreamy contrast that feels almost tropical. With its elegant texture and vibrant colour play, this Hoya is a true eye-catcher in any collection!

10. Hoya Quinquenervia 'Star of Madura'

The Hoya Quinquenervia 'Star of Madura' is admired for its bold, elongated leaves marked with striking, clearly defined veins.
