# So I mainly use Planta to keep track of my ever growing plant…

_Posted by Night on 2024-09-07_

So I mainly use Planta to keep track of my ever growing plant collection and when I last watered. I’m primarily a Hoya collector and I’ve run into a problem recently with Planta. I recently acquired Hoya Cardiophylla and it’s not an option in the Planta App. I put a request in for it to be added but haven’t seen the devs take action yet. It’s only been three days but I know myself and will forget about it if I don’t have it logged and tracked lol. Anyone have a suggestion of a similar Hoya I could enter this one under for a watering schedule or give a suggestion for a watering schedule for Cardiophylla? I make my own Hoya mix that I would describe as an all purpose well draining epiphytic blend. I have it in my grow tent that averages at about 85% humidity but plan to introduce it slowly to be out of the tent into house air that fluctuates between 35% - 50% humidity. I appreciate any and all care suggestions since this is the first time I’ve acquired Cardiophylla.

You could put it under the same name as another one you have but give it an actual name like Stella or whatever so you know the difference. Something like that anyways hope this helps

You can use Hoya incrassata for this one. When it gives you the option for a custom name, write cardiophylla. That will be the name that appears on your schedule. Let me add that this app and all other apps rarely give the appropriate watering schedule. I customize this once I figure out the plants requirements. Until then I set it for more frequently so I remember to check. If it doesn’t need water I leave it on the schedule.  
Your mix look great!

There is a label called Hoya Mixed Varieties that I use as a holding place for hoyas that are not in Planta. Several of my hoyas are listed under this label. Just rename it. The variety will simply state “Hoya.”

I love hoyas but i only have 3 different kinds. Can't wait to get more. I just hope my light situation is significant
