I highly recommend this Hoya. It’s an easy going plant & a very good bloomer. 🥰

Another Hoya opened her flowers last night.

Hoya heuschkeliana
They smell of warm butterscotch.

Side note: I am aware that she appears dry in the leaves, she’s been having a hard time keeping her leaves hydrated while working on these blooms. She usually rebounds after blooming.

Hi everyone,

I bought this cutting ~3 months ago. It has grown a bunch of good roots since, but hasn't started growing leaves yet.

I have absolutely no clue what my next step should be.
Any advice?

Many thanks!

Bought 3 more plants with 1 more coming by week’s end. I keep saying this is it, but then it becomes just 1 (or 2 or 3), more! 😩

I wish I could stop, but dang it! Gotta catch ‘em all!! 😆

Bonus cats at my feet looking to sniff and chew my new babies!

We are in pedunc city. There’s like. 6 more on this plant not pictured💀.

I bought this from someone and they don’t know the name except that it is a Hoya Carnosa. When I googled Hoya Carnosa it gave me images of Hoya that don’t look this particular one. I used an app called, “picture This”, to help me identify the name of this plant, but all it gave me was that this plant is a Hoya Carnosa! I need help identifying the actual name of this Hoya!! Thanks so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I had my obavata splash on a hoop trellis but it's Vine is so still it was not working. So I decided to just put it on a tall stake. And it cracked and leaked a little latex. And now it looks like this. 😩 See all the little nubs on the Woody stem?

What should I do? Chop and toss the top? Chop and try and prop the top? Should I let this beauty do its thing and trail?

After a year of having this beauty, it bloomed. Not just one but three active peduncles. Love the Sunstress on the bottom leaves.

So I haven’t decided against the trellis. But I moved my girl, put her hair down, and look at this cutie!!!!! There’s a lot going on but I hope u guys get to really see her!!!

Do u guys think she looks perfect?? Well kept? Loved for??? Cause I’m just winging it all.

(Trellis or not trellis?????!!!)

it's still growing fine, i guess there's enough green still present. the pink is cool, but i'm getting tired of it, i want peduncles and nice variegated growth.

My Hoya was looking like it was dying so I dug it up to check out the roots I found some dead roots but I can’t tell if these ones are ok and if I should chop any off or just repot in fresh potting mix and a bigger pot? It has not been repotted in like 3 years. It sits in a south facing window with indirect light and I water it every 2-4 weeks when it looks thirsty

Last night I attempted to cross my seed-grown open-pollinated Hoya BNT02099 (‘Sunrise’ x unknown) seedling with my Hoya fungii.

I used pollen from the BNT02099 (‘Sunrise’ x unknown) to pollinate Hoya fungii. I did try to reverse as well but the fungii pollinia were nearly the same size as the BNT02099 flowers themselves.

The plants I used are not super compatible but we’ll see what happens. Updates to follow

Been downsizing my hoyas and this is one I am letting go of. Purchased it as a one leaf cutting that took forever to root and kept rotting on me. After almost a year of rehab and babying it, it finally took off and started growing, blooming, and thriving for me.

Hi everyone! I’m new to the highly addictive world of Hoyas, thanks to my mom. She usually brings me store-bought Hoyas, but today she brought me some cuttings/stems instead. One of her hoya hanging planters fell, and she gave me the pieces she had to trim off. They came from an older plant and each strand is around 10" long.

How would you go about propagating these, if they are not too old? Should I place them in water and wait for roots to grow, or plant them directly into an aroid soil mix?  Lastly, any idea on an ID?

Thanks for your help!

Can someone help me ID these
