# Hello plant lovers! My wife and I just purchased a small (3 inch pot)…

_Posted by Luke on 2026-07-27_

Hello plant lovers! My wife and I just purchased a small (3 inch pot) plant with "Hoya" listed on the label. I just don't know the certain species/variety. When it comes to care, does honing in this specific matter? Here is a photo. TIA for your help!

I believe Hoya carnosa. I treat mine the same. I have 3 different species. They all need/get a lot of light.

They also like to climb. I have a trellis in each of my pots.
