The Hoyas

Currently in my collection, I have Hoya P., Krimson Queen, Krimson Princess, Curtisii and Carnosa (Carnosa is rooting right now) Next I would like Liniaris and Sunrise.

I adore these plants. They are so easy to work with and get to grow. They dont ask for much and their blooms are amazing too.

Do hoya leaves count as foliage? Close enough. Happy #foliagefriday My #hoyamacrophylla (or is it #hoyalatifolia now) still looking🔥 after a full summer of suntanning. Like I was gonna waste this photo and not post it.😜 Have a great start to your weekend, friends. . . . . . . . #hoyamacrophyllaalbomarginata #hoya #waxplant #waxplanteveryday #hoyalover #hoyahead #hoyaplant #hoyaaddict #holyfreakinghoya #plantsinreallife #houseplants #houseplantlove #helloplantlover #torontoindoorjungle #plantgoals #plantnerd #torontohouseplants #inthemoodforplants #plantsarefriends #planttherapy #plantoftheday #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantsofinstagram #plantparentcommunity #plantdiary #plantcollection #greenyourfeed https://www.instagram.com/p/CiTQ9qgP5OA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Currently in bloom: #HoyaLanceolataBella PS: That white spot on the center-most flower is sap, not a bug. This genus has sap, just like their other family/subfamily member: milkweed 💚 #hoya #plantsofinstagram #hoyahead #hoyamygosh #hotforhoya #hoyabella #blooms (at Orfordville, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeGzxoir0cD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My Hoya bloomed 🥰

This one is a favorite. Hoyas with rugged/prehistoric looking leaves are the best ☺️. Which Hoya is your favorite?

new baby leaf on my hoya krimson princess

Hoya kerrii

Hoya kerrii was 2/3 of the hoya triplets I acquired in October 2020. Unfortunately, this one was also subjected to multiple medium changes like the obovata. It did not survive the ridiculous fluctuations and died shortly after.

The second specimen I have had more leaves to it and seems to be hardier. It came to me in a very dense peat mix, but this time I had more experience in dealing with hoyas and so I left it alone to acclimate in my household surroundings, instead of repotting it immediately. I waited for a month, and then moved it to my usual soil-less chunky mix. My patience were rewarded with additional new leaves afterwards, which tells me that my kerrii was adapting well in the medium.

I can’t say much about this hoya, except that it is very slow growing for me. As of June 2021, its only added two new leaves. I’ve seen online that it likes humidity – I think majority of hoyas and tropical plants do – but as we live in a small rental in southern California, it’s a little hard to provide more humidity unless it is kept in a sealed bag. Getting a tent and placing it in our already crowded home is out of the question.

The heart-shaped leaves of the hoya kerrii makes it a target for those one-leafed novelty gifts you can find during valentines season. It is possible for a single-leaf kerrii to grow additional stems, but this is not something I would recommend for people to buy. It is very slow-growing and quite prone to root rot compared to the obovata. There is a better chance of killing a one-leafer and wasting your money than actually maturing it. Getting a two or three-leafed specimen gives it a much better chance of survival.

Growing conditions:

• Medium – Very chunky, air-y mix;

• Light – Bright, indirect sun for about 10 hours, then weak artificial light for four hours more. We have three GE puck lights over the sink).

• Water – Be careful of overwatering, prone to root rot. Consider checking the medium and weight of pot before watering it.

• Fertilizer – Very diluted solution of Miracle Gro orchid fertilizer.

Hoya Krimson Princess

This beauty started out in rough shape. I got her half price from 30$ because all the leaves were browning and not looking too good. Her future was not promising by any means. It seems she’s slowly coming back to life though. I’m pleased with her progress.

#hoyabenguetensis is beautiful with or without the sun stressing. Still waiting for this one to flower for me - been 2 years and counting. Hoping the temperature drop in autumn might do the trick.🤞🏼 . . . . . . . #hoya #waxplant #waxplanteveryday #hoyalover #hoyahead #hoyaplant #hoyamygosh #hoyaaddict #hoyahaven #thehoyacollective #holyfreakinghoya #plantsinreallife #greenyourfeed #planttherapy #flauntyourleaves #pausewithplants #crazyplantpeople #plantsmakemehappy #plantsinfocus #instagreen #foliagelover #houseplantlove #plantcollector #easycareplants #houseplantsofinstagram #peoplewithplants #canadianhouseplants #torontoplants #house_plant_community (at Ontario Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch8F1MFv1hM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
