Bella can be finicky so if you’ve got her flowering you’re on a good path! #### PlantMamaTiff replied on 2025-06-05 Oh really, that’s good to hear! I like variety so some bigger leaves would be cool, and flowers that are unique and/or really fragrant. If they’re easy-ish to take care of, that would be great too! ### Gabrielle’s Jardin commented on 2025-06-05 Yes, the flowers are what turned me into a Hoya head! The Krimson queen was my first and when it bloomed for me it smelled amazing! #### PlantMamaTiff replied on 2025-06-05 Nice! I have a small Krimson Princess, I wonder if their flowers look/smell similar? #### Gabrielle’s Jardin replied on 2025-06-05 They are pink flowers 🌸 #### Katomarose replied on 2025-06-06 Krimson princess and Krimson queen are actually both just different variegated Hoya carnosa and all have the same flowers. #### PlantMamaTiff replied on 2025-06-06 Ohh good to know, thanks! #### Lisa Anglim replied on 2025-06-07 Nice to hear someone else mention them by their true name of Hoya Carnosa either inner or outer variegation, not by the old names of krimson princess and queen. ### Katomarose commented on 2025-06-05 Hoya wayetii is my favorite! It has long thin leaves with dark margins and it blooms a dark magenta red. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/rDsR0p91bmQ3GvtJJujM7zyVgGNu75xJdbu31tvPJeQ/fZg-FpIESeqSHsVW38L4_A.webp?size=large) #### Katomarose replied on 2025-06-05 My next Hoya on my wishlist is Hoya polyneura. I love the deep green foliage and the way it drapes when it's mature. #### PlantMamaTiff replied on 2025-06-06 Ooh beautiful! 😍 I’ve been eyeing the polyneura too, the shape and color of the leaves are so pretty #### Lisa Anglim replied on 2025-06-07 A there are so many varieties. #### Katomarose replied on 2025-06-07 I want a none variegated H. polyneura and I want to grow it in lower light so the foliage gets deep dark green 💚 #### Katomarose replied on 2025-06-07 Like this 😍 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/rDsR0p91bmQ3GvtJJujM7zyVgGNu75xJdbu31tvPJeQ/0oMpQOCxS5-Swx5B5-bzVg.webp?size=large) _1 more reply in the app_ ### cherrbear🐻 commented on 2025-06-06 my heuschkeliana bloomed for the first time for me recently \& has a whole bunch of active peduncles now! the blooms are so cute \& weird \& smell like a combination of buttered popcorn \& greek yogurt 😆 in the best way! \& it’s been such a happy, steady grower. highly recommend! i also have the inner variegated but it grows at a snail’s pace 🥲 ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/bjH_VB_hNmcGwGm9VTIX6dJV0qjCizEL_0iLT6XOmYU/H911Ykx-SjCRHNr6Ariiig.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/bjH_VB_hNmcGwGm9VTIX6dJV0qjCizEL_0iLT6XOmYU/O4ojGLRuRoOK3CbntLoQJw.webp?size=large) #### PlantMamaTiff replied on 2025-06-06 Aw those blooms look so tiny and precious 🥺 so cute! ### cherrbear🐻 commented on 2025-06-06 my chicken farm is also about to bloom for the first time \& i hear it’s an easy bloomer. he has 4 active peduncles right now! if you’re looking for a big leaf guy. ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/bjH_VB_hNmcGwGm9VTIX6dJV0qjCizEL_0iLT6XOmYU/RkxD5gbrTo2xEAKTAFWgpg.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/bjH_VB_hNmcGwGm9VTIX6dJV0qjCizEL_0iLT6XOmYU/jkIem3bFSYar69NNlqwCyw.webp?size=large) #### PlantMamaTiff replied on 2025-06-06 Wow that’s a pretty big boy, thanks for the suggestions! ### Lisa Anglim commented on 2025-06-07 I think you started with one of the best. If you want something that blooms almost continually. Try the Hoya multiflora. It’s an up right hoya that I have on stake. As it gets taller it leans way over. Not training just leans. So intake. Mine is over two feet tall.enjoy your Bella. --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
