Hoya Gracilis Memoria – Carla’s Hoya Haven

I purchased H. gracilis from the Groovy Plants Ranch in early April 2022. They no longer offer Hoyas for sale. I had it under the GE Seeds & Greens grow light until late fall when I moved it to the grow tent. It did so-so in the grow tent so I moved it back up on a shelf in front of a window. This Hoya does just fine in average household winter humidity in Iowa which is 27% or lower.

This one grew a couple peduncles at some point but I have yet to see it bloom. It’s just starting to wake up from a long winter nap. It seems to prefer quite a bit of light and I might have to move it to a sunnier window or under the GE grow light. It’s in a chunky mix of ABG Mix and coconut husk. It likes to dry out between waterings. It did most of it’s growing last summer when it was warm and humid in the house.

The leaves are green and splashy. The more light it gets the splashier the new leaves. The young leaves grow in a lovely purple color. This is a very nice easy going Hoya that requires no special care. It’s a great Hoya for beginners and collectors. I look forward to seeing mine bloom this summer.
