My local plant shop had a shipment before mother's day and the owner was "come and we can get excited together while we see what i order" and I did and oh boy she order two of my wish list hoyas, hoya gunung gading and hoya undulata. As we know undulata is not cheap (at least i did not find onw that wasn'tan inport), I walk away that day because I wanted both but couldn't justify getting both and couldn't decide which to get. today, I finally went back and both were still there and I got hoya gunung gading, i really wanted the undulata but $90 was still a lot, for a 3 leave 3 node hoya, not sure if it will be justifiable. I'm thinking if it's there in a few weeks I will get it as my early birthday present. I'm still happy about tbe one i got, I already have a spot for it. I did had to sell some cuttings of my hoya polyneura Jasminka , but it was worth it.

So there is a few hoyas that have been putting random bigger leaves, my H. paulshirleyi, and my H. Minahassae. The first I got it in a local plant shop at the end of last year and it was already big, and had put up regular size leaves but the last two have been almost doubled the size, this one gets nice light stress( it had it when i bought it) but since I put it in a light less intense and has lost the light stess. The second I had it almost a year ago in a plant trade, it had all the cute smaller leaves, bigger than a Mathilde but smaller than my carnosas, I was told it was a slow grower and yeah for a bit it put a runner, I gave a trellis and started to put this giant leaves, compare to the old leaves more than doubled , same light as my other hoyas.

So my question is whay does it grow so different, the second even feels different, the smaller leaves are more succulent while the big ones are not as thick.

Its spring and i take my orchids out and the shelfs looks empty I moved my hoyas, mostly to the ikea vittsjo shelve , and it doesn't look like i have too many plants. My brain is playing with me even though I know I have put a lot of orchids out and I need the space for fall. But I had somw hoyas that I wanted but "did not have the space" but now I have the space. I said i was stopping at 60 varieties and I have reach that, but it looks empty. Little by little thwy have taken over my shelves, I replace my orchids with hoyas, mostly because I lost a lot of then to rot last year. Please somw tell me i'm not the only one struggling to keep myself control.

I'm so excited to see the new leaves of my jasminka been so nice, I cut a few cuttings a months ago, mostly to make a bigger pot and it just surprise me and put out a nice variegation you can see the old leaves don't have as much white edges like the new leaves, and the old leaves don't have as much splashing as the leaves that cut.

My hoya Acuta inner variegated has finally bloom and the smell is strong and floral, very lovely. Too bad I have bad allergies a especially to scent and this very close to ny bed 🥲 it w a hell last night but I refuse to move it since it loves this window

My little heuschkeliana Albo is finally bloom, they are such cute blooms, this little one has had such a glow up, when I got it it look like it was reverting and it was until I put it in a kuch higher light, once I chance the light it just took of. Now it has it's first bloom, it put up a peduncle a few months ago but drop the flower buds

I just got this Monstera Bulbasaur tissue culture. The delivery got delayed because USPS thought that flying my shipment 2 states pass mine state was a good idea. They look good, but i have never grown any plant from tissue culture, also it currently own just 4 monsteras ( Thai, Albo, esqueleto and adansonii) they are doing good but I was really interested in trying tissue culture and this were in a good price compare to other and it had extra discounts. Anyone has any experience with tissue culture, I feel monsteras are hardy plant to try this, but still its scary, that is why I got 3 just in case one or more doesn't make it.
