Hi all I’m new to this plant life but enjoying it so much. I want to make sure I’m doing all I can do for my plants. Can anyone confirm what kind of Hoya this is? Any tips and get a trellis for it?

    The majority of it looks like a Hoya Carnosa (outer variegated). There might be another hoya in the pot. It looks like a Hoya Carnosa ‘Chelsea’ with the heart shaped concave leaves. You are not supposed to call it a Chelsea unless it was bought from a reputable nursery that labeled it as such and has traceability to that Carnosa variety. 🪴

      Thank you sunny I responded below. There for sure are different stems just was hoping to say it was something specific, not knowing that nursery’s will plants different kinds together. Would you recommend trying to repot and separate? But it looks like the are so intertwined I don’t know that that is even an option. Can a trellis work for some on it do you think?

    I agree with Sunny; it looks like a combination of two Hoyas. The variegated vines are Hoya carnosa ‘Krimson Queen,’ and the solid green vines appear to be a regular green Hoya carnosa (or possibly pubicalyx). Nurseries often pot multiple cuttings together, so it’s totally normal to see both in one pot!

      Ok yes I did buy it from a local nursery and come to think about it did say Hoya assorted 🫣. Remember I’m very new to plant life. I just want to make sure I’m doing all I can to make them happy and thriving plants. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you so much.

      Both the hoya and the philodendron look healthy. I would use a hygrometer to measure the humidity levels and temperature around the plants. Humidity above 50% and temps above 70°F are good for these tropical plants. Low humidity can show as dry spots and dry edges. A humidifier is better than misting. The hoyas can stay in the same pot since both hoya leaves are thick skinned and hold water well. They like similar living conditions. You can add a trellis to keep it manageable. You can also trim it regularly to keep it from dragging the floor. You can sell the cuttings or new rooted starter plants local/online on apps like Facebook marketplace. The hoyas are long enough to take cuttings. If you want to grow one in a separate pot by itself to hone your skills. I would take some cuttings with 2 leaf nodes on a stem (1 or 2 leaves) and propagate in clean water. Place near a bright window for indirect light or place under a grow light. Change the water when cloudy or once a week. Fertilize with diluted fertilizer after the new roots appear. Plant when the roots are at least 2 inches long. Check online for detailed hoya propagation and trellis instructions. 🪴🍀
