    Hoya wayetii is another Hoya that I find easy to grow. The foliage stays pretty green when I keep it in bright shade, but when moved to full sun the leaves turn a bronzy red color. It blooms off and on year round and has cute little fragrant flowers! Just be aware, if the plant is subjected to full, direct, hot sun for extended periods, the leaves will burn.
