I finally got a hoya with leaves smaller than my Hoya Mathilde. It’s a Hoya Tengchongensis that has been on my wishlist since last year. The price for them are always high. So, they are usually sold in 2-node or 4-node cuttings. I found this healthy one in my price range and it was rooted.
I’ve read they don’t travel well during shipping and could drop leaves or even die on arrival. So, I avoided ordering during the hottest and coldest times of the year. I bought it in March and it arrived in great condition. I was cautiously optimistic. It did not suffer from travel stress or stress from entering a new environment.
It started to put out a new branch with adorable micro leaves!😍 It’s my hoya with the tiniest leaves. I placed it next to a Hoya Mathilde and a Hoya Curtisii for size comparisons. The leaves are slightly smaller than the leaves on my Hoya Curtisii.

Wanted to share my new Hoya! Tag said krimson princess but I think it’s a queen. Either way I think she’s just so cute!

The blooms on my Hoya Noona opened up! They smell like cake batter! 😃😍
It’s also called Hoya David Cummungii. This variety has yellow flowers. There is also a pink flower variety. I got it last summer from Gardino Nursery in a buy one get one free sale. I bought it in a 4” pot for the foliage. It’s a very fast grower compared to my other hoyas.
None of my hoyas bloomed last year. Six of them are blooming. The only thing changed is they are getting brighter filtered sunlight in the morning. They are in very bright shade outside from 10am. I’m using diluted liquid fertilizer with SuperThrive on all my plants. I used timed release fertilizer beads last year.

When i was on extended vacation last year my Hoya bloomed. It was at the end of bloom when I got back in October. After the two flowers died I cut off the stem which I later learned was a mistake. Since I wasn’t around when it bloomed and it was her first time, I don’t know what a flower bud looks like. Could this be one?

Help Hoya friends!
In your opinion, do you see any species other than Carnosa Krimson Princess (some reverted) in this big pot?
Thank you!!
Pardon her, she’s dusty from being outside this Spring.

When I got Sonny (Detective Carisi) he was just a couple of lonely leaves and a stem wrapped in cellophane. Now he’s got some of my favorite pretty painted looking leaves. Big and strong!

Help! My green bean Hoya has a bunch of blooms that never opened and look dry and the leaves are yellowing. Is it under watered? Not enough sun?

She bloomed for the first time yesterday! I’ve had this one for almost two years. She tried to produce a peduncle last year but it dried up or I knocked it off or something. There is another umbel further down the vine that looks like it will bloom next week maybe

Is this a peduncle on my Hoya Carnosa?? Sorry the picture is the the greatest, had some trouble focusing for some reason.

my hoya kerrii has been growing like crazy for the past year and i’ve been too scared to cut it but i think it’s finally time!

I have had my Hoya Noona plant about 8 months. It’s been in a northeast facing bay window most of the time growing lots of vines and no flowers. I put it outside the window into high humidity, 87°F average temperatures with very bright indirect light in the shade of the house. It put out its first ever peduncles after being outside 3 weeks! It’s the fourth hoya that started blooming after i moved them to that location. I might build a living wall of hoyas on this outside north wall! It’s their happy place and mine!😄

Someone along the way asked about killing mealybugs with alcohol or maybe they asked if what they had was a mealybug. So, this is a highly magnified before and after pic of what they look like alive and dead. If you spray perlite with alcohol, it stays white. Just sayin’ that when you aim the alcohol swab or spray at a mealybug and say “oh you’re toast” they actually are 🤣

My very kind neighbor gave this to me, and I have no idea what I’m doing. Please help.

Picked up this Hoya a few weeks ago without a label and have been looking around to what it might be. I’m thinking some type of fuzzy leaf Australis. The internet points me to Australis ‘keysii’. Thoughts?

Hello! picked up this unlabeled 2in pot (for $3!). I’m pretty new to plant stuff. I believe it is a hoya, possibly a krimson princess? Would someone be able to confirm/point me in the correct direction?
