Hi Guys

I've started to add quite a few hoyas to my plant collection over the last few years. This one is one of the more unique ones in my collection. It reminds me of teeth...hahahaha! Enjoy!

Cheers
Sean

Very neat!

If you haven't already, you should look into Hoya lauterbachii. If I'm not mistaken it has the largest flowers of any hoya, each being a couple inches across. www.logees.com has it.

Hi Guys

Thank you for the compliments! So far I've not detected any fragrance from this one but it could also mean I'm not smelling it at the right time of the day. grin

Cheers
Sean

I completely forgot that I had a hoya until I saw this. I ran outside to see it after this. I had tucked it behind a wall outside, because it was burning over the summer. Despite no water and 100% neglect for at least 6 months somehow its still alive. wink

Thats a great one, and thanks for the reminder.

How do you convince Hoyas to bloom? I got one last year, but all it has done so far is put out new leaves and grow longer.

Lots of light, Spencer. Think cattleya light. My carnosa has a permanent home hanging front and center in an unobstructed SW window, and its a blooming fool!

I have mine in cattleya level light. It is the first thing in front of my E/SE Conservatory window. It has only been 5 months, though.
