My Hoya Verticillata (pink) has its first blooms!😍🌸 The size is similar to a golf ball. It a has a scent similar to Hoya Lacunosa and Hoya Krohniana. It’s a spice scent with bergamot. Not overpowering. The red spots are edema that got sun stressed. This hoya was formerly known as Hoya Parasitica. 🪴🍀
Wow I’ve never seen the flowers look this good. Where do you live? Canada isn’t the best climate for them I guess. 😕
1 Like I live on the Texas southern coast, zone 9. The temperature is very hot in summer with high humidity. Most of the hoyas I have can bloom in household temperatures with moderate humidity if the lighting and fertilization is good. I found that my hoyas readily bloom with direct sunlight on the leaves. I have to use eastern morning light. Midday sun burns the plants unless it’s filtered through gauze or sheer currents.
