Hi! I just picked this up on clearance at my local store and it’s beautiful. It’s showing up as a Ficus Microcarpa on the identifier but it does not have a twisted trunk its growing on a stake. Anyone have one of these? Just thought I would share!
I just grabbed the same one, mine looks much worse. I think it’s a Hoya. Just haven’t narrowed it down yet. Maybe a carnosa?

Hoya Cumingiana. It’s a fast grower. It’s not fussy even with my low watering and too low lighting last winter. It never dropped a leaf. Mine just bloomed. Smells like ripe mangoes!🥭
Completely agree with Sunny on this one. Definitely a Hoya Cumingiana. I’ve seen them a lot at Lowe’s, and they’re not always properly labeled. You can keep it on the trellis as is, or turn it into a trailing plant in a hanging planter 😊 good luck with it!

Very pretty!!!!
좋아요 1개It kinda DOES look like a Ficus Microcarpa. I have one but as a bonsai as shown below. Reason why the ficus you’ve seen are twisted is that its trunk has been “trained” through wires and some through grafting using multiple Microcarpa. The one you have still is just as wired.
Oh yes I see what you mean! It does look like yours with the leaves.

I got this from Lowe’s too and then all of a sudden my one stem died. I have no idea what happened but I’m hoping the other side survives
0개 좋아요 Oh really? So far mine is ok. I love it and really hope it survives. Are you planning on transplanting it? The pot seems small.
0개 좋아요 No but I also don’t want to stress the plant out right now. Mine seems fine in the pot it’s in.
