Hoya Curtisii – Carla’s Hoya Haven

Hoya curtisii is another plant I purchased from Hirt’s Gardens in April, 2022. I ordered two small plants and both were clipped closed to the potting mix. I potted them together in a small grow pot with regular potting mix. I keep them in the grow tent closer to the grow light with no shade. It was in the shade for a while and it got really leggy and grew loads of arial roots. These will come in handy in the summer when it’s out of the grow tent and thrives mainly off humidity. It has grown quite a few leaves in the grow tent since I moved it up under the grow light. I water this one every other week. It doesn’t have quite enough roots to repot. I think it will be fine in this pot for at least another year.

This plant was quite happy last year on a shelf in front of a west facing window. I was only watering once every other week. The afternoon sun streaming through the window encouraged leaf production. I’m going to put it back in the same spot this year. I think it will do well there again and should put on quite a bit of growth now that the roots are more established.
