My Hoya memoria is my most prolific bloomer at the moment she’s really doing her thing I’ve got other Hoyas that are just throwing out peduncles and doing nothing and a mathilde that is budding up for the first time!!
Bought this pretty lil thing from Lowes about a month ago. It was drowning in water, and burried under some other plants, so I figured some damage was to be expected.... As a first time Hoya owner, is this normal residual damage from the store, or am I missing signs of thrips 😬
*Side note: Peep all the new growth and that deep crimson!!! I could scream!!!
I never got the appeal of Callistophyllas, until I brought this home with me. She just keeps getting prettier and prettier each week shes in quarantine 🥰. I cant wait to incorporate her into my home and get a nice pot for her.
Woke up to this little surprise, the plant is not even that big it was a cutting that just rooted well in the pot, this would be my first hoya flower, how to make it flower successfully?
2 different plants but wanted to show off the biggest for scale, i have had them for about 5 years grown from cutting but no flowers have actually grown:( so was curious is this little nub thing in picture one what im supposed to look out for? and how can i promote them to actually flower… idk what im doing wrong they both look beautiful and grow great just no flowers 🥲
Wayetii's new leaves are coming in curled and wavy. The undersides are covered in these tiny brown dots. I did the paper test, and the only living thing I was able to knock off the leaves was a single, tiny, moving black dot. It was very round and looked like it might be a kind of mite, maybe.
At first I thought the white spots might be mealy bugs. They're not. Upon closer inspection they're some kind of mineral residue. They come off, but they are clearly not organic/alive in any way.
Then I thought thrips, but I didn't see anything moving that was white. Maybe what I saw was one single adult thrip, but idk. it wasn't slender like a thrip.
I tested a pesticide on the one living bug i found, it died on contact, and i immediately drenched the plant. If it is a kind of mite, the pesticides won't get the eggs so I'll need go re-treat in a week or so.
If anyone knows what this is, I would be grateful for further insight. The plant is in my quarantine room so I'm not terribly worried about the rest of my hoyas. Still, bummer.
Hoya cv optimistic is finally blooming. Purchased her two years ago and she’s been growing like crazy ❤️😭 l’m so excited
At least 7 blooms and more coming 🥰
Smells like toffee 😋
My Hoya have never flowered.. so my local Hoya lady got me an unopened bloom last week, and she’s finally opened!! So exciting! Hoya parasitica aka black margin. ❤️ Have your Hoya ever flowered? What’s your favorite?
edit: yes; I do know this is not a peduncle. let's talk about it: Hoya grow long vine-like tendrils when they're starting to flower. that is what THIS is. no, it's not going to be a leaf. I have several new leaves on this Hoya they are indeed GREEN and the petiole is shaped entirely different. this Hoya was gifted to me and it's JUST now maturing. this is the sign that shows me I'm giving her the correct growing conditions for flowering. regardless, she has literal peduncles on her that have not flowered FOR ME specifically. however, a new peduncle will form, and when it does, I'll update you all again. thanks for the advice and the words of encouragement. ☺️
quiet on the creek, guys, she's working on something big 😲 (first time flowering)
I need help with my Hoya chinghungensis! I included a photo of where she sits on my shelves. She is in a chunky mix and I water her about every 6 to 7 days. She has new growth, but why am I getting yellow edges? !
I’m just being a hater, but $5,000 for unrooted node should be illegal 😭.. Let me sit my broke ass down.
Posting half just to share, and half cause I could use some advice. I just came into possession of this gigantonormous Pubicalyx Splash. Previous owner had for 15 years before they ran out of space. I’m super thrilled, as this is now by far the biggest / most mature plant that I own. I’m confident in my ability to care for any plant at this point, and this is NOT her permanent home (I know, not nearly enough light and those shitty pole lights from Amazon suck, it’s just there til I get a new larger stand to put in front of my better window) but the trellising on this gal is an absolute mess now. She’s also in a super organic potting soil.
I probably should mess with her for a long while, particularly in the soil department, as clearly it’s doing just fine. But would love to know if anyone has any experience cleaning up or even upgrading the support on a super established plant like this and had any advice they could share :)
hello! came back from vacation and my kerrii has a bunch of new leaves but also has an interesting spot which appeared…
i’m no professional and nowhere close to it so any help would be appreciated!! just not sure if it’s edema and normal, or if it looks more fungal or viral or something else nasty.
