Congratulations on your first Hoya! 🌿 Hang on, the Pubicalyx is a fast growing one. Hoya compacta variegated is a beautiful plant but slow growing for me. Lastly, they are very addicting with over 300 species.

Yes, very slow growing. Pretty pricey too 😮‍💨 but that doesn’t stand in the way of someone on a mission 😏

Yours is lovely! This is mine less than a year after rescuing her from a Lowe’s. Highly recommend keeping it off a trellis and letting it become a trailing plant 😊 She’s definitely one of the best plant purchases that I’ve ever made. She’s so low-maintenance.

Pretty! 😍 I, too, recently got my first hoya… and then the next 3… and now the cutting from Etsy is on its way… 😆🤣

Same! 🖐🏽 I got my first Hoya just because I wanted the pot it was in for my succulent. So I kept it but ignored it and one day realized how awesome it was and had to ask ChatGPT what it even was (pubicalyx). That moment was about two months ago and now I have 7 different Hoyas. I need to stay off of Etsy. 😂
