My Valentine got me this sweet little Hoya aff Lambii, it arrived today from Plant Girl Magik, one of my favorite sellers here in Los Angeles. I’m smitten. Whenever my grow lights in my cabinet turn off (auto timer) I get a little sad, lol So addicted.
Hoya cv. Elephant bloom opened this evening. Such a pretty pale pink center. So far no detectable scent.
Orchid stem partially broke. Any suggestions on how to save it? I have a splint on the stem for now. It’s barely hanging on but still connected.
Waiting for these buds on my Hoya Elliptica to burst open. The buds look like teeth 🦷.
I bought these Hoya Brevialata near the end of last summer. They have grown even though I reduced the amount of water they are getting during the colder months. I feared root rot. I have recently increased the water they are getting since it is warming up in my area. They quickly put out new leaves. Their small spoon shaped leaves are adorable and very stiff. They branch out at an early stage and grow well for a hoya. I’m hoping they bloom once in my lifetime! That’s my goal for all my hoyas!😁
When your boyfriend forgets he already got you a sweetheart plant and gets you a second one for Valentines Day! It’s especially sweet because he always says no more plants. (Also peep the custom arrangement from our local plant shop!)
my hoya wayetii caught root rot 🥲 anyone have any tips for treating rotten hoya? i’ve removed all of the mushy roots as far as possible and plan to soak them in a mild hydrogen peroxide solution. the nursery potted a bunch of cuttings in too big of a pot, which i only just realized unfortunately. we’re going down two sizes (from 6” to 4”) since a big portion of the roots are gone now. my biggest question is: is there any hope for the cuttings where rot has spread to the node? they’re still firm, but some have barely any root left.
I finally got new growth!! How do i continue to make this keep happening??
Hoya patcharawalai 023 ‘Icensis’ in bloom in my bird cage turned Hoya cabinet 💕 I’m using regular grow light bulbs.

Got a new Hoya today, but without a label. I’m not familiar enough with krohniana and lacunosa to spot the difference, but I’m thinking it is one of those two. My gut is telling me krohniana, but I might just want it to be that because I love the darker leaf margins and want it to be a black leaves. Though it’s probably just a regular ol’ something 😁 which is just fine. One pic under grow light, second natural light. 💚
Have had a few Hoyas in my life and I don’t normally post pridefully, but I find this one simply gorgeous.
Picked up this STUNNING Hoya at Home Depot the other night 😍 can someone help identify her? I’m pretty sure it’s a Hoya pubicalyx? But I could be wrong, I’m fairly new to Hoyas, 3rd one in my collection
Hoya Heuschkeliana variegata looking extremely cute.
Anybody have advice for how to get Hoyas to grow? I’ve had one for two years and the other for a year and neither have put out too much new growth since getting them. They are both in a chunky bark potting mix and get fertilized with orchid fertilizer every month (heard it helps them bloom? Idk if that’s true though). They are also in a cabinet with 12 hr grow lights, 60-80% humidity and 70-80 degrees. Are they just slow growers? Don’t have that much experience with Hoyas. The latest growth on the crimson queen is all white so not sure whether to cut it off?
Curious about the potting substrates that folks have had the best (or worst) luck for keeping your Hoyas thriving? I have lots of starter size Hoyas that I’ve had a year or less. Pon and LECA seem spiff and I’ve been using them when potting up cuttings, but I see a lot of comments online from folks who eventually lose their Hoyas to root rot in pon or leca after months to years.
I finally got a variegated compacta 🥹 My plant shop had them at 50% off and I couldn’t not get it. I know it’s going to take forever to grow but hoya growth is so rewarding!
As soon as I cross one wishlist Hoya off, I end up adding a couple more.. The term “Hoya Hole” is no joke. Anyway, welcome home to this little girl, Hoya Pandurata Silver.. I’ve heard that silver Hoya’s are more thirsty. Do any of you share that opinion?
New leaves are pink! 😍
Hi y’all, I moved to a new apartment and it had the cutest sunroom with so many windows & skylights. so I got 3 hanging planters. Today I put a different Hoya in each planter. Looking for any tips or advice to keep them alive?! Thank you ☺️🪴 Hoya Kerrii Hoya Wayetti (tricolor) Hoya Black Margin PS, BookNook attached 🤭
