A Blog About Hoyas & Other Houseplants I’m so disappointed in this one. It had the softest, fuzziest leaves. I wanted to love this plant. It came out of the box ready to grow. That was back in April 2023. I had it up on a shelf under a grow light. The new leaves started […]
A Blog About Hoyas & Other Houseplants I left these two lovebirds up on a shelf in medium light to twine as they please and they appear to be quite content as shelfmates. They’ve both endured minimal watering and a bit of neglect since I injured my back and it was a struggle to lift […]
New growth on a Hoya vine can look like a peduncle or just new vine. It can be confusing to new Hoya collectors and more experience collectors alike. Learn how to spot the difference. Hoya archboldiana was one of my cuttings purchased from Garden of Hayden mid-April 2023. Since that time it has rooted, grown […]

It’s looking good, growing new leaves and […]

This mix is fantastic for both rooting cuttings and growing Hoya plants small and large. It is available at Carla’s Plants in 4 quart bags. Everybody who grows Hoyas has a favorite mix that works well for them. A lot seems […]
A Blog About Hoyas & Other Houseplants H. crassipetiolata is a wonderful easy going plant with lovely veining and a few speckles. I purchased this plant from Land of Alice around September, 2022. It’s one of the more reasonably priced Hoyas. After unboxing I set it under the GE Seeds & Greens grow light. It […]
I purchased a batch of 7 cuttings from Garden of Hayden in late September 2023. That was my Tenth Hoya Haul of 2023. I rooted them semi hydro in Fluval Stratum which has worked incredibly well for me. I allow the cup of dirt pellets to almost dry out between waterings which keeps my Hoya…
