I’ve had this Krimson Queen for a couple years and I had no idea the leaves could get this big!

Out of nowhere I was watering today and it rotated this beauty to find these two huge leaves. I swear they popped up overnight! It’s been under grow lights for a while but these are by far the biggest leaves I’ve ever had on this plant. Such a happy surprise!

Kerrii leaf (how to take on plane to propagate when get home)?

I am visiting a relative with a gorgeous sweetheart Hoya. I want to take a cutting home to prop. I will be on a plane for several hours. What is the best way to store the leaf during travel? And then I assume I wait about 12-24 hours once I get home before putting in water? TIA for advice!

Dischidia ovata dying, need help

I bought this plant from an experienced Etsy seller because I wanted a plant from places Ive lived (Papua New Guinea in this case).

It’s been in slow decline. Been in 12 hour bright indirect light cycle relative humidity 50-60%. And I admit I didnt understand just how sensitive to being overwatered it would be. I thought repotting to an orchid bark perlite mix would help since the root ball seemed healthy.

Now it’s down to 2 healthy-ish leaves. I stopped watering it like the other plants, I cant get a sense of when it needs water. Im stuck, the 2 leaves are barely hanging on and no improvement over the past 4 weeks.

Possible ID?

I'm gonna keep it labeled as a NoID but my friend (who gave me the cuttings) lost the label a year or so ago and we are just curious what the ID may be. Rooted really fast in fluval and already has new growth, so it's a quick grower. It will be so much easier to tell when it blooms 😫 thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Variety?

Got this without any identification. Anyone here know what variety this Hoya is?

1st one is labeled ‘sp. bogar bogar from indonesia’. i got this one for free because one staffmeber said it was looking rather sickly 🤷🏼‍♂️

2nd one is labeled ‘caudata sumatra’ which it definitely isn’t. no one in in the nursery could rell me what it is 🤔 (so i got it for half the price)

How much light and how often do you water your Hoya?

I’m new to Hoya, but a hobbyist plant enthusiast for a few years. I just got this polyneura and krohniana super silver and I’ve overwatered them both. I think I also gave the polyneura too much light.

What’s the best way to help them bounce back? Or is it just time? I’ve pulled back a little on sun and watering. And won’t water unless it’s getting mostly dry. I also checked their roots for rot and they’re okay.

Is there anything else I can do to help their poor, wrinkly leaves?

Hoya globulifera and 2 new synonyms

Three years ago, I created a sheet for what was then Hoya rubida, and mentioned anticipating this group to be addressed in upcoming work on New Guinea taxonomy. I am pleased to relay that that work is now out into the world, courtesy of the incredible Nathalie Simonsson and Michele Rodda. Within the new book, both Hoya lamingtoniae and Hoya rubida are cited as synonyms of Hoya globulifera, bringing much appreciated clarity to this former group. I thought it would be fitting to remake the sheet to reflect and honor the years of work it took for us to receive this determination. A widespread endemic species to New Guinea with gorgeous flowers which can range from the typical mauvy colors to pale yellows and deep maroon-blacks.

My hoyas have gone berserk

I live with a painful chronic illness that has become quite unbearable lately. I hardly have the energy to take care of my plants these days, but these lovely hoyas are so generous, blooming several times a year.

I've been growing plants all my life, but hoyas have always held a special place in my heart. I rarely repot them, occasionally feed them with seaweed or other mild organic fertilizers, and often forget to water them. They seem to bloom best as long as I don't let the potting mix get bone dry.

I couldn't upload all the photos, but I truly feel like they choose to bloom on my darkest days, as if they're trying to take away a little of my pain.

Hoya Polyneura has flipped its variegation

Well I’ve been wanting to buy an inner variegated Hoya Polyneura for a while but amazingly I’ve now got an inner variegated new stem growing from my outer variegated Polyneura. 😍
