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!
좋아요 1개Oh 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!
0개 좋아요Yes, 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!
2개 좋아요Nice! I have a small Krimson Princess, I wonder if their flowers look/smell similar?
0개 좋아요They are pink flowers 🌸
좋아요 1개Krimson princess and Krimson queen are actually both just different variegated Hoya carnosa and all have the same flowers.
2개 좋아요Ohh good to know, thanks!
0개 좋아요Nice 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.
좋아요 1개Hoya wayetii is my favorite! It has long thin leaves with dark margins and it blooms a dark magenta red.
4개 좋아요My next Hoya on my wishlist is Hoya polyneura. I love the deep green foliage and the way it drapes when it's mature.
좋아요 1개Ooh beautiful! 😍 I’ve been eyeing the polyneura too, the shape and color of the leaves are so pretty
2개 좋아요A there are so many varieties.
0개 좋아요I want a none variegated H. polyneura and I want to grow it in lower light so the foliage gets deep dark green 💚
0개 좋아요my 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 🥲
2개 좋아요Aw those blooms look so tiny and precious 🥺 so cute!
좋아요 1개my 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.
2개 좋아요Wow that’s a pretty big boy, thanks for the suggestions!
좋아요 1개I 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.
