Hoya pallilimba looks a lot like Hoya brevialata. The difference is in the flowers with brevialata growing larger red or white flowers and pallilimba growing smaller reddish flowers.

Hoya brevialata is a cute little plant with small fuzzy leaves. This one grows best in the shade with high humidity. I keep it in my grow tent.

Hoya nummularioides is a big name for a small plant with cute fuzzy leaves. It’s not a fussy plant and I suspect it will be more of a summer grower for me.
