Hoya flowers secrete sweet nectar.

 Hoya flowers secrete a sweet, sticky nectar, sometimes so abundant that you may need to wipe down windowsills in the morning. This nectar attracts pollinators such as nocturnal insects and geckos.

 Nectar Source: Nectar is secreted by Hoya flowers in the form of sticky droplets, often visible on the central flower of the inflorescence.

 Intensity: The amount of nectar secreted can vary greatly depending on the species and conditions.

 Fragrance: Hoya flowers also emit a strong aroma, which can intensify at night, as many species are pollinated by nocturnal insects.

 Safety: Hoya nectar itself is edible and safe, but you should not try it unless you are certain the plant is free of chemicals that may have been used to treat it.
