Show Off Your Hoyas!

[palmsOrl]

I have only two Hoyas.  The first one in the hanging basket I've had for many years and it blooms well in the warmer months.  The flower is pictured in the second photo.  It can really tolerate drought well but prefers to recieve regular watering.  Does anyone have an ID on this plant?

The second one is Hoya retusa.  I love the look of this bizarre little plant.

First one looks like your standard Hoya carnosa. Agree, very tough plant that can take more drought ( and low-ish humidity ) than some might imagine. Think my grandma still has one i'd left at her house back in San Jose. Grows like a weed under the patio there. Easy to take/root cuttings from them also.

Had the following sp/vars. before moving here:

H. carnosa, 2 forms
H. publicalix  " Red Buttons"
H.  skinneriana X " Dee's Big One "
H. cumingiana
H. pubra  **now listed as H. nummularioides**
H. golamcoana
H. multiflora "Shooting Stars"
H. diptera
H. mindorensis

And 4 others i can't remember the names of atm..  Botanical Garden at USF Tampa sold all sorts of species at their Spring/ Fall sales.

Needless to say, high on the list of collections to rebuild later.

This may be Hoya pubicalyx 'Royal Hawaiian Purple'  (?) but I've long since lost its identity/tag. I've wrapped it multiple times around a plant stand and it blooms for months. Probably one of the most trouble-free blooming houseplants you can grow!

I found this cute little heart Hoya (Hoya kerrii) for my dad for Valentine's Day.

This species, native to SE Asia and Indonesia, is apparently a challenge to get to grow beyond the one leafed heart shaped cutting.  According to Wiki, it takes years to get beyond the one leaf stage, if it gets beyond the one leafed stage at all.

Is anyone else growing this interesting little plant?

i believe this is a hoya carnosa as well

supposedly it has been in the family for quite a while

the first time i saw a flower i thought someone had attached a fake plastic flower to the vine!

Yes, I have the variegated form of Hoya kerrii that I got a few years back before moving to this house.  Its been a pretty good grower.  I hung the pot in a potted Crassula ovata (Jade plant) in a shaded area and wound the growth up and into it.  It's wrapped up and around the Crassula and has a few feet of growth after 6 years in this garden.

I'm also growing Hoya carnosa variegated form (first photo).  The third one I'm growing I don't recall it's name.  I put it in a pot with other succulents and it's wound it's way through a Monstera and over to another climbing plant, as well as to an adjacent Pritchardia maideniana's trunk.  This one gets a red brown hue over time to the leaves.

hoya imbricata care

my guess is some type of hoya carnosa? just not sure what type of carnosa lol....will it do alright in the viv? i was reading if it is a carnosa than it likes average room humidity...... will a viv kill it? and it also will get 10 ft. ! I imagine i'll be doing a lot of clipping... lol.my guess is some type of hoya carnosa? just not sure what type of carnosa lol....will it do alright in the viv? i was reading if it is a carnosa than it likes average room humidity...... will a viv kill it? and it also will get 10 ft. !
