# First flowers on my Hoya Mathilde, Hoya Patricia, and Hoya Burtoniae!…

_Posted by Sunny on 2024-08-21_

First flowers on my Hoya Mathilde, Hoya Patricia, and Hoya Burtoniae! I have learned that I can’t let the potting mix stay dry too long or the blooming process slows. I have to water as soon as it dries or it could take weeks for a peduncle to mature and bloom. This means watering the Mathilde about every 2 days, the Patricia every 4 days and the Burtoniae every 5-6 days in 96°F temperatures and 75% relative humidity.🌸🌸🌸

And the burning question is, what does your nose smell when you smell Mathilde 😊

The Mathilde has a light sweet fragrance today. I smelled nothing yesterday when they started to open. I have to put my nose close to the blooms to smell it.
