Hoya thomsonii (fuzzy leaves) is a distinctive species recognized for its softly textured foliage. The leaves are oval to slightly pointed, medium green, and covered in fine, velvety hairs that give the plant a plush, almost suede-like surface. New growth is especially soft to the touch, with the texture becoming more pronounced as the leaves mature.

The plant grows with a relaxed, trailing habit and produces clusters of rounded, star-shaped flowers. The blooms are pale pink to creamy white with a deeper pink to red center and are noticeably fragrant, adding an extra sensory layer beyond the foliage. It grows best in bright, indirect light with warm conditions, high humidity, and evenly moist, well-draining media.
