Hoya macrophylla 'Pot of Gold' is a fascinating variety of Hoya macrophylla that is characterized by its large, textured leaves with striking golden yellow or cream-coloured edges. This Hoya is particularly popular with plant lovers due to its attractive foliage and easy-care nature.

Features:

Foliage: Large, elongated leaves with pronounced veins and golden to cream-colored edges that provide a special contrast.
