I’m currently in a full Hoya craze right now 😭🌿 I honestly only see the benefit of getting them young and watching them thrive over time. I realised this when I bought my Hoya gracilis / memoria fully mature — I kind of lost a bit of interest in her growth-wise (still love her though 💚), especially since she even pushed her first bloom which actually sparked my whole obsession again ✨ Don’t get me wrong, I still really love my gracilis — no hate at all 😭 — but there’s just something addictive about growing a Hoya from scratch and watching it literally come alive leaf by leaf It’s like the satisfaction level is unreal. The leaves are just everything too — textured, cute, small, and oddly perfect 😭 They’re super easy to keep alive, but getting them to truly thrive and bloom takes patience… and honestly I love that. I can’t wait to get more. Also, for some reason I’ve realised I’m not even into variegated plants in general… shocking I know 😭 Most of them just look a bit yellow/sickly to me (no offence 🫣). I can appreciate them objectively, but they’re just not for me — except Hoyas. Variegated Hoyas are the only exception ✨ ⸻ 🪴 My Hoya collection so far: • Hoya gracilis • Hoya obovata • Hoya australis ‘Lisa’ • Flamingo Dream • Hoya curtisii (silver form) • Hoya kerrii (green form) • Hoya kerrii (outer variegated) • Hoya burtoniae (inner variegated) • Erythrina • Crassipetiola splash • Hoya mathilde (splash) • Hindu Rope ⸻ 🌿 Wishlist (aka future obsession list 😭): • Hoya mathilde (inner variegated) • Hoya heuschkeliana (variegated) • Hoya sarawakensis • Sunrise • Pink Princess • Krimson Queen • Hoya obovata (variegated) • Hoya meredithii • Hoya callistophylla • Hoya chinghungensis (variegated) • Hoya serpens …and honestly plenty more because the larger Hoya varieties are calling my name 🤭 ⸻ Anyway, that’s enough of my Hoya rant… please enjoy my growing little jungle of future giants 😂
