# My Hoya Danumensis has opened her blooms. This is the biggest flowers…

_Posted by Sunny on 2025-10-16_

My Hoya Danumensis has opened her blooms. This is the biggest flowers I’ve seen on a hoya! They are about 1 inch wide when fully opened. The flowers are waxy and look like pleated lampshades. The scent is supposed to be like lemon grass or citronella. My sinus allergies are blocking me from smelling it right now. The flowers typically last 7 days. Hopefully, I can smell them in a few days. 😍🌸

Oh my gosh they DO look big!! So cool!

An entire set blooms from most of my hoyas like the Hoya Lacunosa and Hoya Heuschkeliana can fit inside. I highly recommend getting one of these. I got mine from Plantstay. This variety is a bit more expensive than the popular and readily available hoyas. But, it’s low maintenance even with its thin leaves.

i have never seen those flowers on a hoya (i’m fairly knew to the plant community) that is so amazing

I have many hoyas and this is one of my new favorite. It has fully opened all blooms last night and started dripping nectar. Light with a sweet leafy green scent. 😍

Wowwww stunning!

#### Sunny replied on 2025-10-17

Thank you. Get this one for big flowers, big thin leaves and easy care. It’s outside on the kitchen windowsill facing northeast to get direct sunlight with afternoon shade. I’ve had 20+ hoyas bloom after moving them into direct morning sunlight.

Don’t let them stay completely dry too many days once the peduncles appear. Many hoyas produce a lot of nectar and need water as soon as the soil mix dries out. Fertilizer is essential while they flower. Don’t skip the fertilizer schedule during the growing season. 🪴🍀

Awesome advice!! I will have to add this one to my collection especially. Those flowers are stunning.

Your Hoya posts are always a delight!
