Didn't know this species could flower?!

Hoya Phuwuaensis blooming already?!

I just bought this plant like three months ago, and it's already got two longggg pendunks on it. Are they known to be easy bloomers and/or fast growers? I water about weekly, spray orchid spray once a week as well..nothing special, but I was pleasantly surprised. I can't wait til they bloom!! Also...it's new leaves are like iridescent amber/hunter green. Super cool!

Aerial roots?

Do these mean she needs to be repotted? I water her once a week, carefully, because there's no hole in the bottom of the pot. I flush out excess water by straining it from the top to prevent root rot. I want to up-pot if that's what's needed, but have done that before with my alocasia cuprea (Red Secret) and almost killed him. This Alocasia bisma platinum seems to be a hardier variety, but I'm still apprehensive. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Pubicalyx Pink Silver Ghost

She is even prettier in person!! I got this and a few others from Plant Proper πŸͺ΄ Having not ordered from them before, I was a little hesitant, but they all look really healthy. I had them delivered to work, so they didn't sit in the heat on my porch until I got home. A coworker picked her up and said, "Is this real?!" I love the type of plants that people think must be fake because of their unique foliage. Does anyone have this? If so, are there any tips to help her grow? I have over 15 hoyas, but this is my first pubicalyx.

I love close-ups of hoya blooms!

This is my hoya burtoniae's first summer to bloom for me, and this is bloom number three. Finally figured out how to get a decent detailed pic...he's so beautiful 😍

Alocasia Cuprea "Red Secret"

The evolution of my beautiful girl. She went dormant after eventually growing to have three large leaves for months. I saved the only corm she gave me and I'm so happy I did!! The original stem didn't root again. My little corm baby is soo cute in her recycled medicine bottle. πŸͺ΄πŸ’Š πŸ˜‚πŸ₯°

Is he a completely lost cause?

This is Nick Cannon...I have had him for six years and he has given me 5 pups since I've had him. He was extremely healthy. He was doing wonderfully until early Friday morning. I took him to work thinking I would extract his pup while on break. He has been displayed in our office lobby for three years now. πŸ₯Ή I went to help someone in my office building, got distracted, and came back after 7 hours to find him STILL in the car...I audibly gasped. 😱😭 Wanted to giggle and cry at the same time. Is he or his pup salvageable at all? It's been over 24 hours, and he's still limp and has a papery texture. His roots seem normal.

Hoya burtoniae

I recently posted my first ever bloom on this guy, and have seen pictures...but it's very cool to experience the blooms on the same plant budding a different shape. I love it! They smell like artifical chocolate (think LipSmackers or Tootsie Rolls) 🌿❀️🍫

We have a bloom!

I have had my Hoya burtoniae for two years... His name is Gus. If you watch the show Psych, (iykyk πŸ˜‰). When I got him, he was already mature but had what looked like scale, a few mealies, AND old flat mite damage. Poor guy...but TODAY he gave me a BLOOM! My dad and I were tending to the landscaping outside, and I screeched!! I told my dad it was the good luck he gave it for Father's Day! It's not open yet, but I have over 10 different hoyas and he's the first to bloom for me...

Hoya serpens

I thought my hoya serpens was going to surely die this winter and she's doing great now...but what's with the shape of her new leaves? Is she reverting somehow?

Oh the horror

My local nursery had Frydeks and Hilo Beauties in direct sun...maybe I'm a drama queen but I was flabbergasted by this..

What's wrong with it?

I recently moved my aglaonema pictum tricolor from in front of a window with in direct (not very bright) light to under a grow light and this happened. I think it got stressed out from too much light. Has anyone seen this reaction before? There aren't any visible pests I can see.
