October is the month when Hoya Nummularioides blooms!😍 This variety of hoya puts out many sweet flowery perfumed flowers along the woody vines. The flower clusters are thumbnail size. The blooms are prolific. This is the hoya you buy to see a hoya bloom. 🌸🌸🌸 I have several grown from cuttings. They are easy to propagate in water or soil. They like moderate temperatures better than the scorching Texas summer heat and high humidity. They like bright light and blooms well with about 4 hours to 5 hours of direct morning sunlight. They get filtered southern light in winter. They need regular fertilizer especially when blooming. 🪴🍀

The top two leaves on my Hoya have come in purple. Is that a good thing or bad thing? I have to admit that I have two Hoyas and they definitely aren’t my favorite plants so I’m not that knowledgeable of them.

This Mathilde splash is one of my unexpected favorites from my new plants! I have her in a chunky soil and some pons for extra drainage. I’m also trying a self watering pot so I am letting her dry a little before her first water in the new set up!

My Rosita came a little bigger than expected but I’m so excited to see her grow into this trellis. Also I’m experimenting with pons so she’s been cleaned of her soil and potted with moist pons and I will add water to reservoir in a few days.

My Hoya Danumensis is quickly growing its first set of blooms. They were just small flower buds six days ago as shown in the last photo. The flower heads are about 1/4 inch today. The rate of growth is much faster than most of my other hoyas that can take weeks to open. 😍🪴🍀

Got these two cuties at Ott’s Exotic Plants. I’m struggling to name them, though, so please feel free to give any name suggestions. TIA!

All of my Hoyas look pretty good except this guy. Pink Splash. Even after watering the leaves look wrinkled. Okay? Suggestions? Thanks!

Windy is doing great! Doing a lot for a 2" pot come to think of it. For a little thing this Hoya is pretty hardy.

I’ve had this Hoya Danumensis for about 6 months. I found its first peduncle while trying to thread the new growth onto the trellis.😍 I bought this hoping to see its unusually large bell shaped white blooms.

My Hoya Verticillata (pink) has its first blooms!😍🌸 The size is similar to a golf ball. It a has a scent similar to Hoya Lacunosa and Hoya Krohniana. It’s a spice scent with bergamot. Not overpowering. The red spots are edema that got sun stressed. This hoya was formerly known as Hoya Parasitica. 🪴🍀

My Hoya Elliptica blasted some of its flower buds. I can’t complain. She has bloomed well all summer. She has a second peduncle that is doing well.

hello :) can anyone help me identify what is happening to my hoya carnosa? I’ve checked her roots which seem good. I’ve also checked for pests & can’t seem to find any. thank you!!!

I got 2 H "Thomas White" free but I can't find any info on these online... are these Thomsonii? They have very pubescent leaves. Under which h should I put it under? Tia

Hoya sichuanensis (fka Lyi NOID), first flowers!

My Hoya Cumingiana put out several blooming peduncles that smell very sweet. You can smell the scent outside from 6 feet away! The scent is sugary and fruity. It smells like a bag of tropical candy with sweet flowers, mango and citrus notes. It’s supposed to smell stronger at night. It wasn’t overpowering at 9am. I thought my neighbor got a new fabric softener. 😍🪴🍀

This is the first peduncle on my Hoya Verticillata (pink)! She put out two more peduncles on another vine. 😍 I bought it a year ago in the end of season sales period. All it did was grow burgundy vines. I spent the spring and summer pulling the vines out of the window screen and off the bricks. The red spots are either sun stress or edema they got sun stressed!😁

My Hoya Elliptica is on her third set of blooms this summer!😍. All of my hoyas go inside in about a month when night temperatures drop too low for them (Coastal South Texas, zone 9). I’m happy to see her blooming again before she goes in. 🪴🍀

I got this Hoya around three months ago. Originally, I had gone to the garden centre to pick up a compacta, but couldn’t find one, so I just randomly decided to get a Hoya memoria. I stuck it in my window through the end of the summer months and noticed that growth was just bursting—I was getting a lot of new vines and new leaves. It was sun-stressing and looked gorgeous! Then, a few weeks back, I was creeping on it and spotted a peduncle. I was so over the moon and excited. I waited very patiently, and it bloomed for the first time for me. It smelt amazing, like caramel (might’ve given it a lick or two—don’t judge me 🫣). Ever since, I’ve been obsessed and have gotten a bunch: Hoya mathilde splash, obovata, krimson princess (even though I’m not a fan of pink, I love the creamy green inside), and finally a Hoya compacta, which I separated into two. On the way, I also have a Hoya kerrii, which my boyfriend bought for me—even though I apparently have “too many plants.” I can’t wait to buy more. I’m in love with buying small rooted cuttings, and I can’t wait to document their growth over the spring and summer once winter is over! Also, my memoria is putting out a bunch of new peduncles, even though it’s almost October. So funny—I can’t wait to get more blooms, hopefully!

My largest Hoya Nummularioides is blooming again!😍 They are prolific bloomers in October. They put out peduncles at almost every leaf node. The all over fuzz gives it a matte look and a brushed suede feel. The last photo shows one of the plants blooming last year.
