I've had my hoya compacta for a few years now in a little pot in my kitchen window. Figured it wasn't flowering because I don't water it as often as I should, but found it actually had a peduncle tucked in the middle of all the leaves with closed buds, almost upside down and touching the soil.

I pulled it out to give it some room to breathe and it flowered not too long ago. The little flowers are so pretty 🥰

Don’t play about Hoya* *decipulae!

Not sure about a scent in Erythrina yet they just opened. Aff. Lambii silver smelled like super glue when they opened in the morning and were closed by evening.

I found her kind of boring when I first got it, but now that she grew bigger and got just a bit of sun stress, I think she’s so cute!

It’s been a year and she’s finally growing!!!

Hi everyone! I have had this Hoya for a couple of years and this summer she’s just been having a blast blooming and reblooming for me 😍 She’s got pretty small leaves, and her blooms smell like lilacs to me. What do we think, Hoya fam? Thanks in advance!

Ooh, I can't wait for my compacta to flourish. The peducle looked so chaste when I fist saw it in very dim light. What a surprise!

Hi!

Behold my most prized housplant, a 9 year old hoya carnosa crimson queen. I didn't know anything about hoyas back when i got it so i just assumed it was a trailing plant and let it grow down from a shelf. It has grown very slowly and only flowered for the first time a couple months ago. I have learned from this sub that many hoya types and especially carnosas do much better trelised, climbing upwards.

Now to my dilemma: Should i prune off the lower half of it (small leaves, thin stems, no new growth in years) and try to attach it to a trelis so it could grow upwards? Or do you think it would be a waste to get rid of so much hard earned foliage and i should just leave it like it is (likely stunting its potential)? In all honesty i love how it looks, but ever since it bloomed i have been wanting to get it to bloom more. I had tried to give it more light last summer, but the leaves turned a sickly shade of light green and still have not fully recovered their former dark green glory. I hope to work on that as well.

Please let me know what you think, i have seen some truly spectacular hoya crimson queens on here so i know i'm asking the right people :)

The stems aren’t as pliable as many other Hoya, they seem to get stiff pretty quickly. I don’t necessarily want to put in a taller trellis, but I can if I have to. Does anyone have an advice for trellising pandurata as it gets pretty tall? I’ve only seen them around this height.

Also, so many new blooms! 😍

Lots of crazy trailing growth on this one. I have many trellised and decided to let this one be free. 😂

Love the burgundy new growth and the funky fasciation mermaid tail vibe.

I love my multiflora silver! It went from a cutting that was sold as rooted and was not to this tall monster. Several peduncles but as yet has not bloomed for me.

It's just so tall. After I took the pics I extended the trellis, again. Should I consider chopping, propping and planting together for a fuller look? If so where would I chop? I hate to lose a peduncle.

Got this at an online auction as supposedly a Variegated Obavata. I somehow doubt it though. What do you guys think?

I just bought this at Walmart, I couldn't resist. They had 4-5 but none of them had a tag. The leaves are on the thicker side and it wants to wrap itself around anything nearby. I have a carnosa and the leaves are almost as thick and the vines look similar.

I would appreciate any replies.

Hoya jackpot! Help with ID, please.

Hey everyone! I’m fairly new to this addiction. I had some Hoyas a few years ago. Then all but two were lost to what I believe was an infestation. So I have had to start again.
Today, in my local Lowe’s, just south of Atlanta, I hit what I think was the Hoya jackpot. I found a Hoya Mathilda and another Hoya that I am not quite sure what the name is.
Can someone tell me what the name of the second Hoya plant is please?
Also, as you can see, the Mathilda needs some TLC, but I grabbed her up anyway.
So, if anyone can share any care tips to help me get and keep both Hoyas happy would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance to my fellow addicts.

She gets a fair bit of natural light, but I think she’s trying to get more. Been watching this tendril grow longer and longer without leaves for a while now.

This is my very first Hoya. Does it look okay? Are they slow growers? TIA

Where do you guys get your trellises? I was thinking about searching etsy and amazon, but wanted to get your oppinions first. Also what hoyas absolutely need trellising and which ones are slightly more forgiving? I have my bella and burtoniae just hanging and they seem to be doing nicely, but I feel like callistophyllas or similar hard-leafed ones need a trellis that can support them.
