Hoya obovata is a popular and attractive species of Hoya. It is native to parts of Southeast Asia and is often grown as a houseplant due to its relatively easy care and striking appearance. The leaves of Hoya obovata are one of its most distinctive features. They are large, oval to slightly obovate in shape, and are typically a deep, glossy green with some varieties exhibiting attractive silver or white speckling.

It prefers bright, indirect light and moderately moist conditions. It is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate some neglect, though it thrives when watered thoroughly but allowed to dry out between waterings. Like many Hoyas, it prefers warm, humid conditions and is often grown in a well-draining potting mix to prevent root rot.
