Hi, my Hoya pubicalix has one heart-shaped leaf. The other leaves are their regular shape. I was wondering if that is special or quite common? Does anyone else have unusal leaf shapes on their hoyas?

Leaves can look a bit odd like this. I don't think it's very common. I have seen pictures leaves that are almost siamese-like.

Hoyas sometimes behave in wacky ways like this. I've got a no ID Carnosa type which has a healthy leaf which has curved into a circle (no camera, or I'd post a pic). It's still perfectly fine, but just circular now.

I had a publicalyx Pink Silver do that very same thing. I cut the stem off and rooted to see if it would hold true. But it didn't, the next leaves were regular publicalyx leaves. I thought I might get a new sport or something.
