New leaf on my Hoya Clemensorium. Love when a cutting received begins to thrive.
Flowered for the first time for me. Hoya Lacunosa silver. So tiny and perfect little blooms. Smell faintly of honeysuckle mixed with a bit of urine.
Gave my Hoya a shower and let it all hang out to dry, I love how long it is! Normally I drape it above the closet door.
I attached this bamboo trellis to the planter with xmas ornament hooks! Just working with what I had. 😂 I think it will end up looking very unique once it fills out. The planter does have drainage, and is lined with plastic I poked holes into.
Hoya Elliptica about to bloom for the first time.
1. Hoya callistophylla 2. Hoya retusa 3. Hoya phuwuaensis
I’m new to this group and don’t even have a Hoya yet but I already love the plant. Where is the best place to buy one and what is the best and showiest for a beginner?
Just grieving a little. I tried following planta’s watering schedule, but realized it was too strict on my hoya. I let the poor thing dry out, and I tried so hard to get it to come back. I accidentally dropped it this morning and it suddenly hit me how horrible it looked. I’ll miss you so much candlestick.
Hey everyone! I bought this Hoya, not sure which, at a big box store. It’s planted in a peat based soil. Should I repot in something more airy? I feel as though the peat holds on to too much moisture. Thanks!
I recently got this Hoya from a friend, any ideas on what kind this could be?
hoya instagram friends/accounts hi all! i try to come on here & start discussion posts every once in a while. but i think i’m going to start posting my collection on instagram to document growth & challenges (hopefully not too many)! my account is @plantyashten… if you have a hoya-related instagram account, i’d be happy to follow you! it’d be great to make hoya friends, since there are no followers/messaging on this app yet. and perhaps down the line it could lead to a future of hoya trades (i’m located in ontario, canada). thanks planta hoya hoarders!
Well this is wild! I thought compactas were slower growers— I’ve only had this guy for 17 days. 👀
reducing plant collection // multiple genera hi hoya lovers! i’ve seen a lot of posts from “plant influencers” recently about reducing their personal collections, so it’s inspired me to reflect on which plants bring me the most joy, & which i could potentially remove from my collection. recently (last year or so) i’ve really enjoyed growing hoyas, they’ve become my favourite genus, & approximately half of my collection. i am contemplating changing the direction of my collection to be primarily hoya, & i am wondering if you enjoy keeping multiple genera, or if you’re happy with just hoyas! thanks!
My hoya got some early morning sun. This is my Hoya Loyceandrewsiana. I got it in October. I was hesitant to buy it with the spots. Later, I realized some hoyas growing outside at nurseries can get spots. They are not fungus related. Could be edema. No new spots appeared after it arrived. It is a low maintenance plant that I can highly recommend. I keep it dryer than most of my other hoyas this winter. The large leaves hold water quite a while. There are no yellowing leaves or other plant drama that I sometimes forget to water it. I fertilize once every 6 weeks in these colder months. The leaves have grown larger since I got it. The largest leaf is almost 7 inches. This variety of hoya will need a trellis because of its thick stems and large leaves.
ID help? I bought this as a hoya calycina cutting. I really don’t think it has the leaf shape or texture to look like calycina, but haven’t gotten a flower. The leaves are smooth on top and slightly slightly fuzzy on the bottom. Pardon the dust, it’s less fuzzy than it appears in these pics. Any guesses? Possibly albiflora?
Had to share! I received this Hoya Fungii as a free gift from a seller I frequent. Honestly I was more excited about getting a free plant but wasn’t really interested in the plant itself before receiving it. But I grew it nonetheless. The first picture is the approximate size of the leaves when I got it. The second picture is the most recent leaf. I must say. I’m surprised and super impressed. I never even considered the plant had this much potential. Excited to see what it could look like in the future! 🤩🤩🤩
Newest leaf on my Hoya Glabra.
Hoya flowers plus bonus dischidia watermelon flowers. They’re somewhat unremarkable but the plant is super happy. It’s about 3 years old. The callistophylla flowers look like little bunches of grapes when they first start out. I thought they’d be more colorful but the red petals reflex so you can barely see them.
Any of you fine Hoya heads wanna take a guess as to what this species is? It was sold to me as Hoya Rigida, but it absolutely does NOT sun stress (like Rigida) and doesn’t even really tolerate bright indirect light. She’s fine in a north facing window. I thought maybe it’s a parasitica Laos? Totally guessing. I realize I’ll probably be able to identify her once she blooms, but figured I’d ask here first.
Not much going on with my compacta, but she’s healthy in the winter and that counts for something!
