Just got 2 new Hoya plants and I don’t know what type of Hoya they are. The big one just said Pubicalyx and the other just says Hoya. Thanks for help in identifying what they are🌱

The larger one is a Hoya Pubicalyx. It could be one of the varieties including Pink silver, Royal Hawaiian Purple and Red Buttons. You can find out the variety when the flowers bloom. The small one is Hoya Carnosa Krimson Queen.

Thank so much!!! I just was looking thru the Hoya group and saw several of your posts-you have absolutely gorgeous Hoyas!!!

Thank you! I have two Hoya Pubicalyx, pink silver and Royal Hawaiian Purple. They are over four years old and keep growing tendrils but have never bloomed. My Krimson Queen bloomed last summer before we lost the mealybugs war. 😁

The Pubicalyx needed repotted and I’m doing that now. There are a couple areas that I don’t know what to with them. I’ll add a photo and mark where I mean because I can’t describe it effectively. Any advice is, not only appreciated and welcomed, is being begged for😂😂😂.  
(Had to show the flower!!!)
