Hoya curtisii Marantaceae Leaf spots or rot: OftenHoya curtisii Hoya curtisii spreads across the substrate as a low carpet before its outer stems spill over the pot. Short internodes keep the reddish framework compact, while flexible tips extend beyond the established centre. Tiny thick leaves overlap along those fine stems. Each blade is spade to heart shaped, with a pointed tip, a finely rough surface and scattered silver marbling across a deep green base.
