Depending on what you like (big leafs, small, all about the flowers, etc). Bella can be finicky so if you’ve got her flowering you’re on a good path!
いいね 1件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!
0件のいいね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!
2件のいいねNice! I have a small Krimson Princess, I wonder if their flowers look/smell similar?
0件のいいねThey are pink flowers 🌸
いいね 1件Krimson princess and Krimson queen are actually both just different variegated Hoya carnosa and all have the same flowers.
2件のいいねOhh good to know, thanks!
0件のいいね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.
いいね 1件Hoya wayetii is my favorite! It has long thin leaves with dark margins and it blooms a dark magenta red.
4件のいいねMy next Hoya on my wishlist is Hoya polyneura. I love the deep green foliage and the way it drapes when it's mature.
いいね 1件Ooh beautiful! 😍 I’ve been eyeing the polyneura too, the shape and color of the leaves are so pretty
2件のいいねA there are so many varieties.
0件のいいねI want a none variegated H. polyneura and I want to grow it in lower light so the foliage gets deep dark green 💚
0件のいいね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 🥲
2件のいいねAw those blooms look so tiny and precious 🥺 so cute!
いいね 1件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.
2件のいいねWow that’s a pretty big boy, thanks for the suggestions!
いいね 1件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.
