My #hoyanummularioides has popped a few flowers recently. Not as many as it usually blooms, but something is better than nothing. These blooms smell lovely up close, but they make a room smell stinky from far away. In my opinion.

This particular #hoya is a seasonal bloomer. To encourage blooming, it thrives with cool nighttime temperatures, which help trigger its tiny peduncles to mature and extend, eventually producing flowers. What I find fascinating about this Hoya is that nearly every node develops a peduncle, and its leaves have a wonderfully soft, velvety texture that adds to its charm.

About to cut this bad boi up!#hoyaspparaemeraldfrost! This is the most expensive plant that I’ve ever bought. And I’m having 0 regrets. I love how beautiful this one is! And its vigorous growth is keeping me checking it daily! And now that it turned into a beast, I need to recapture my initial investment. 😆 Sad to cut this beauty up, but it must be done! 😆

This Hoya is more interested in developing flowers than growing leaves. It’s always blooming. Look at that foliage…it is some stiff competition for those blooms. What do you like better on #hoyacallistophylla the blooms or the leaves?

🪴Fussy: not for me
🪴Rate of growth: slow
🪴Growing Medium: coco husks
🪴Fertilizer frequency: I use a nutrient diverse fertilizer that is perfect for Hoyas about every other watering while I’m seeing active growth. I stop if the plant is in dormancy. The fertilizer I use, contains macro & micronutrients, it’s the best I’ve found for hoyas
🪴Time In My Care: 4 years

#HoyaDeykeae has a reputation for being a bit challenging, but I haven’t found it too difficult. It’s definitely a slow grower and has an annoying habit of letting new vines or baby leaves die off, but overall, it hasn’t been much of a problem for me. And now it’s showing off some beautiful colors this autumn! I’ve also bloomed it for the first time now!

My #hoyavitellinoides has gotten huge! And she is now blooming on repeat! The chunky leaves are all so unique, with each one looking a bit different. One thing I’ve noticed is that this Hoya is especially thirsty compared to my other large-leaf varieties—it definitely enjoys its water!

This #hoyapachycladavariegata is a bit of a slow grower, but I’m ok with that. I love the look of it just as it is. Since it is a slow grower it constantly stays in this beautiful controlled shape! This one is certainly on top 10 favorites list.

The name of this one was changed recently but I still refer to this one by its old name. But it’s time to move on, so I’ve referenced both names! Here are some of the names we can use for this hoya: #hoyasubquintuplinervis aka #hoyapachyclada, #hoyapachycladainnervariegated aka #hoyasubquintuplinervisvariegata

#HoyaLyiPrism is an impressive addition to my collection! Despite its young age, it blooms all of the time. The fragrance of this particular #hoya is incredibly strong—just like lilacs.

My #hoyapachycladaalbomarginata aka #hoyasubquintuplinervisalbomarginata is an absolute favorite! This one is certainly on top 10 favorites list. It’s a slow grower so it constantly stays in this beautiful controlled shape and it blooms so often!

Liz’s personal Experience only…
🪴Light: under grow lights 16 hrs
🪴Water: only when it’s dry
🪴Avg Temp last 30 days: 74F
🪴Relative Humidity last 30 days: 45%
🪴Rate of growth: slow
🪴Rareness: not a rare hoya, but it isn’t sold widely
🪴Growing Medium: coco husks
🪴Pot size: 3” clear pot
🪴Growing location: in my ikea greenhouse cabinet
🪴Fertilizer frequency: I use a nutrient diverse fertilizer that is perfect for Hoyas about every other watering while I’m seeing active growth. I stop if the plant is in dormancy. 💦 The fertilizer I use, contains macro & micronutrients, it’s the best I’ve found for hoyas!🪴
🪴Time In My Care: 2.5 years
💚In my opinion only (IMO): 10/10 because of its beauty! I love how this type of Hoya grows in a bushy manner.

#hoyapatricia is a cross between Hoya Elliptica and Hoya darwinii. I’ve grown H Elliptica but not H darwinii. I feel #hoyacvpatricia is easier to grow than H Elliptica. At least in my experience and in my environment.

#hoyajennifer was made for all you Jennifer’s out there!!! Can we just take a moment for this full, fabulous umbel? She’s showing off!

Have you noticed that I film the majority of my plants with water 💦 on them? It’s because I coordinate their shower with my post. I’ve got around 160 hoyas in my collection. I rotate through my collection pretty much in order, so they get their leaves cleaned once every 3-4 months. 😁 When I wash their leaves, I also make sure to let the water runs through the medium and let it flow out the bottom of the pot. I do this to flush out extra salt build up from my fertilizer. It’s important to fertilize, but it’s also important to flush the in salts out too!

#hoyamacrophyllaalbomarginata aka #hoyalatifoliaalbomarginata is a plant that seems to creep in the winter and leap with growth in the summer. It pretty much needs hot temps to be happy.

#hoyabilobata formerly known as #hoyapanchoi has the tiniest little flowers! I’m surprised at how tiny the blooms are. Once it started blooming it produces blooms frequently. Let me know if you spot others that that I’ve missed.

I’m not really sure how Hoya bilobata gets confused with Hoya sp aff Burtoniae because H Bilobata doesn’t have the same pubescence and this one sunstresses to these beautiful colors pretty easily. Flowers look a bit similar, but their corona is different and the overall umbel is so much smaller. These 2 plants are very different in my experience.

The only thing that I don’t like about #hoyafinlaysonii is the fact that the blooms don’t last very long. This bloom was probably open for anywhere between 24 and 36 hours. So I had to film this as soon as the first umbel opened or I could likely miss it all. And sure enough, as soon as this bloom started the fade, the others opened. The whole blooming process with this particular hoya is way too fast for me! The good news is that once it starts blooming it’s a hoya that continues to push more blooms. This is one of my overall favorite hoyas!

It's been awhile since I introduced myself. And for those of you that are new, I want to let you know me a bit better.
My name is Liz, and I live in Omaha Nebraska. I have three kids and I have recently became a single mom of a son who is 17, a daughter who is 14 and another daughter who is 8.5. We live with a very spirited cat named Templeton. He's 3 years old.
I am currently growing over 300 plants in my house.
Mostly in household conditions. 2/3 of those plants are Hoyas. I move the majority of my plants outside during the summer and I share this experience with you.
I originally started this page to have a spot to celebrate little milestones of hoya growth with likeminded people. Specifically because my family didn't understand my excitement. This page quickly grew que to the enchantment of these Hoyas! As people continued to show up, I realized it was important for me to share what is working for me and what is not.
I've never understood why chefs don't share their awesome recipes. So here I am, sharing every little tip, product, and exciting mile stone with you.
Thank you for showing up every day! Thank you for the support! And thank you most, for sharing this beautiful hobby with me!
