 | Dischidia rafflesiana, Dischidia major Family: Asclepiadaceae Ant Plant, Malayan Urn Vine, Rattle Sculls Origin: India to Australia  An unusual succulent/epyphite vine with inflated, hollow leaves resembling baloons, in nature used by ants for nesting. It is a strange Hoya relative with modified leaves that look like a cluster of bananas. These leaves house ants in the wild; the ants get a free house and the plant gets protection from predatory insects. This tropical epiphyte can be grown in moss, orchid bark, or on bark. It also has round coin-like more normal leaves. Likes warmth, bright light, and high humidity. Grows to about 16-feet long, having many wiry, and twining stems. On the stems, adventitious roots form at the leaf joints to attach it to the host plant. The leaves are opposite, starting small, and rounded, then the modified food storage leaves becoming large, pitcher-like, and hollow. However, the cavity in the leaf fills with its own roots. These leaves are fleshy, green outside, and purplish inside. Flowers are yellowish, fleshy, and arranged in umbels. USDA Zone 11. Easy to grow as a houseplant or in the drier areas of terrariums. Likes bright light and needs to dry out between watering. |  |

 | Hoya australis Family: Asclepiadaceae Common Waxflower Origin: Australia   H.australis is a moderately vigorous climbing species. The leaves are thick, succulent and almost round in shape, growing up to 9cm across. The stems contain a white, milky sap which is poisonous. Flowers occur in clusters of up to 40, each on a long pedicel (stalk) and about 20 mm in diameter. They are fragrant, white in colour with deep red markings in the centre. The species is popular in cultivation in tropical and subtropical areas and is successful in temperate areas if protected from frost (the species will tolerate light frosts). H.australis is also suited to growing in containers and hanging baskets. Grow it in a well-lit area, either indoors or outdoors, with a bit of dappled overhead shade to protect it from the blazing sun. It needs well-drained, though not necessarily especially fertile soil to grow in. Flowering is best if good light is available but the plant will grow in reasonably heavy shade.

Hoyas are adaptable plants found everywhere from true rain forests through the slopes of the Himalayas, from semi-arid niches in Australia to damp forests. They range from vines, the most common form, to shrub-like growth. Most are epiphytic. Hoyas are in the family commonly known as milkweeds. They are most closely related to Stapelia, Ceropegia and Dischidia. They were first identified as a new genus by Robert Brown in 1802. There are now several hundred distinct species. Many of these species are in cultivation. Var. Crispa Variegata has variegated leaves. |  |

 | Hoya kerrii Family: Asclepiadaceae Wax Hearts, Sweetheart Hoya, Valentine Hoya, Heart leaf Origin: Thailand, Malaya and Sumatra  Hoya kerrii is named Sweetheart Plant or Sweetheart Hoya because of the heart or valentine shaped leaves. It has thick, succulent type, opposite leaves that are indeed shaped like flat hearts. The leaves are joined to the long, twinning stems (by the sharp tip of the heart-shape leaf) with ˝ to 1 inch long, 1/8 inch thick petioles (leaf stalks). The stems produce aerial roots which in their native habitat grow into deposits of humus found in crevices and branches of trees as well as absorbing moisture from the air. These aerial roots root easily when inserted into a moist medium making it easy to propagate new plants from stem cuttings. Hoya kerrii also comes in forms with variegated leaves. The flower shape is typical of hoya plants. Small, flat, star-shaped individual flowers are joined like ribs of an open umbrella to form a cluster that is attached to a spur (single stem) called the peduncle. Each small flower is made up of two stars, one on top of the other. The so called bottom star (corolla) is larger in size than the upper centered star which is termed the corona. Hoya kerrii has whitish corolla's and reddish corona's. The flowers are very beautiful, waxy, tough and long lasting. All hoya flowers have wonderful fragrances, some very powerful, others less so. |  |
