# I just got this plant from a seller that didn’t know what kind it…

_Posted by Grandma2aDancer on 2025-04-14_

I just got this plant from a seller that didn’t know what kind it was.  
Is it a Hoya cumingiana? If not, could someone please identify it for me? Thanks so much 🪴

I don't think it's a Natal Plum. It does look a lot like a Hoya cumingiana.

#### Grandma2aDancer replied on 2025-04-14

Thanks, I think so.

### Wendy commented on 2025-04-14

Looks like a Zizi

#### Grandma2aDancer replied on 2025-04-14

Hmmm. Doesn’t look like my ZZ, but thank you.

### Gabrielle’s Jardin commented on 2025-04-14

Hoya cummingiana for sure!

#### Grandma2aDancer replied on 2025-04-14

Yes-that’s it. Thank you!

My Hoya Cumingiana grows like a weed and has not bloomed. 😄

Beautiful! I can’t wait for mine to be that big! Any tips for getting mine to look like yours?  
When I bought mine, the seller did not know the name. Someone commented wasn’t a Hoya-it was a Peperomia. Looked like a Hoya to me-so bought it anyway. I’m pleasantly surprised with it. Really like it 🌱

Ot really has grown hasn’t it!

#### Sunny replied on 2025-04-17

I haven’t done much except place it in direct morning light for about 4-5 hours a day. Then, in bright shade the rest of the day. I fertilize at least once a month in spring/summer. I also add SuperThrive plant vitamins. It’s in a 6” pot. I let the soil dry out very well before watering again.

### Lisa Anglim commented on 2025-04-16

It looks like my comingiana.

Thanks🌱
