Hooboy!! Me again. 🫣😜
I ordered a large Hoya compacta several days ago. Paid nearly $300 for her.
She arrived today. I was pretty disappointed.
She had several brown/yellowed leaves. The majority of her leaves were very shriveled. The soil in the pot was dry as a bone. And looked to have been so for quite a while.
Now, I realize plants get stressed during shipping. I get that.
But this poor Hoya looked like she’d been dry for a WHILE! Am I crazy?
And NO. This Hoya was NOT one of the plants I ordered from LA Succulents. THOSE plants arrived in GORGEOUS condition.
Honest opinions on whether I’m out of line thinking I got ripped off…

Oh goodness gracious!! I’ve done a horrible thing. 🫣
I found LASucculents on Palmstreet. Be still my heart! Their live Hoya auctions are UHmazing! I ordered seven on Saturday. They arrived here today (Wednesday!). I’ve just watered them and they’re awaiting placement in my house. I’ve got to decide where to put them. They’re SO gorgeous!!

My old Hoya Pubicalyx ‘Royal Hawaiian Purple’ has finally put out a peduncle! It’s over 5 years old. It put out an excessive amount of leaves. So, I cut back on the frequency of fertilization this summer to slow the leaf growth. I was experimenting. I was going to sell it and was preparing to clip off the dead vines when I noticed the flowers. It must have felt the threat. 😆

My Hoya Fungii is blooming again. 😍
Such a lovely pink. It’s juicy! The light scent smells like sweet flowers. This variety is definitely worth owning. It’s not fussy.

My hoya has a peduncle! This is the first one, and I've had this plant for almost 2 years.

It seems like my Sunrise cutting is trying to give me two peduncles. These would be my first peduncles if I'm seeing this right. Is it time for me to get excited?

A little appreciation post for my Hoya carnosa. The mother plant she came from goes back three generations and has been passed down in my husband's family. I was honored when my grandmother-in-law shared some of her mature hoya cutting with me and now she has matured into this beauty. She is recovering from an aphid infestation, but is so hardy she was in constant bloom the whole time. I've carried on her legacy by giving both my sisters their own propagations potted up.

I have a Polyneura Albo that I got a few weeks ago. It hasn't grown at all and I want to make sure I am doing everything right for it!! Any tips and tricks are welcome! Thank you!

A third hoya seed pod appeared. It’s on my Hoya Krohniana Black right next to the seed pod on my Hoya Heuschkeliana (yellow). I’m wondering if they cross pollinated with each other or with the Hoya Krohniana Silver Splash close by. I’m pretty sure sugar ants are responsible for the pollination.

Sunrise on my Hoya Monette! I love the shiny peach fuzz leaves. I can’t wait for it to bloom. The flowers on this hoya variety are huge!

I got a Hoya Australis Lisa in the mail today and I’m having a little buyer’s remorse. Do you think she looks healthy? She didn’t smell great when I opened the box, but I think it’s because one leaf fell off during shipping and was rotting. I removed the leaf and repotted her in a better soil. The roots looked good and I sprayed them with hydrogen peroxide.
She is a bit floppy in her pot. She was floppy when she arrived and repotting didn’t help. While she doesn’t have anything to trellis yet, do you think it would be a good idea to add a trellis to the pot for her to lean against?

Hi everyone…..I believe my last post I made was sometime in April. It was about the first time that one of my Hoya Pubicalyx was about to bloom…..then from the UK we could not access the group feeds no more….long story! But now we can!
So here it is, a photo taken back then in full bloom! What a stunner! And about to bloom once again….💪🏼

First blooms on my Hoya Neo Ebudica.😻 it’s almost 2 years old.

First 3 peduncles on my 1.5 years old Hoya Quinquenervia. This one had a lot of vine growth. I didn’t think it would bloom this year.

I originally posted about putting my Hoya Pubicalyx on one of the round trellises, but it (my plant) was too big. So here my Hoya Carnosa on one of them. It looks gorgeous 💚💚💚💚

**Update: Heard back from the seller that it is Hoya verticillata silver.**
Hello folks! I got caught up in a mystery auction a few days ago on Palmstreet. I know, I know. Dumb idea. 🫣
I won’t even tell you what I paid for this. It pisses me off every time I think about how I got sucked in. 🫤
But anyway, I fell for it. In this auction, you just start bidding. Once you have won the bid, THEN you find out what you had just bid on. (Don’t tell me…I already feel stupid enough.) Anyway, they moved on SO quickly, I didn’t even catch the name of this plant (yes, I got sucked in THREE times!😳). One was a gorgeous albo monstera, another was a dumb ol’ variegated desert rose, then there was THIS plant. A Hoya, I know, but WHICH Hoya? All it came with was the auction number, which I thought was weird.
Can anyone help me out with what kind of Hoya this is? And no. I will NEVER bid in a mystery auction again.
