While the classic \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"193\"\u003eHoya clemensiorum\u003c\/i\u003e is famous for its huge and long leaves, this special 'Short Leaf' variety boasts more compact, shorter leaf shapes, retaining all the species' wild untamed character. Its leaves are incredibly tough, stiff, and literally resemble cardboard or thick metal plates. The leaf surface is covered with a stunning, pronounced, and dark embossed venation, which combined with the matte texture makes the plant look like exotic reptile or dinosaur skin. When receiving good light, its leaves tend to develop a beautiful bronze or reddish-brown tan (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"733\"\u003esun-stress\u003c\/i\u003e effect).
