leaves – Carla's Hoya haven

New cuttings from Garden of Hayden. My cuttings from my First Hoya Haul of 2023 from Garden of Haden are doing well and I decided it was time to buy a few more. Everything has rooted and grown leaves. In a couple cases just 1 leaf each but they are growing. Even though fall isn’t…

Hoya archboldiana was one of my cuttings purchased from Garden of Hayden mid-April 2023. Since that time it has rooted, grown a vine and added two new pairs of leaves.

Update on Hoya finlaysonii and Hoya butleriana. Separating the twining plants and giving each their own infinity trellis.

Sadly, I’m killing H. eriostemma. The poor thing simply could not tolerate normal household conditions in Iowa or my inconsistent watering strategy. I’m still hoping for a comeback but I think this one will end up in the trash.

I’m killing Hoya chuniana. I’ve tried everything to save it but it’s now a one leaf wonder. It bears a resemblance to H. surigaoensis which thrives on a bit of neglect. If you’re only going to buy one then choose H. surigaoensis.

Hoya balaensis has surprisingly large, somewhat heart-shaped leaves. It’s a no fuss, easy to grow plant that may one day reward you with beautiful blooms.

I purchased Hoya cominsii from Steve’s Leaves. It’s a no fuss plant that’s grown well for me. It’s considered a synonym of H. nicholsoniae but a side-by-side leaf comparison reveals differences.

I purchased Hoya tomataensis from Steve’s Leaves in mid April. It’s looking good, growing new leaves and and a long vine. It’s been an easy Hoya to grow and with smaller leaves it’s great for a smaller space.

I purchased Hoya ciliata from Steve’s Leaves and it hasn’t changed much in 2 weeks. It’s one of the eriostemmas and requires heat, humidity and sunlight to grow well. I’m going to try putting it on the porch this week.

Hoya heusckeliana (variegated) is an easy to care for plant. The little variegated leaves are lovely. It’s such a pretty plant to set on a shelf.

Hoya verticillata (parasitica splash) is a lovely plant with beautiful splashy leaves. It’s perfect for a sunny window.

Potting up Hoya incurvula. These are the last remaining cuttings to pot up from Garden of Hayden.

Hoya fungii is turning out to be a beautiful, easy to grow Hoya with thick leaves and vines. This is a great plant for beginners and collectors. I think this is going to be one of my favorites.

I purchased Hoya meliflua from The Planted Veteran on Etsy in mid-April of 2022. It did not take long to sprout new growth points and start pushing out new leaves. It’s another great addition to my collection.

Adding Hoya merrillii from The Planted Veteran to my collection. It’s a beautiful plant with lovely veining and sun stressed leaves. It did not take long to sprout new growth points and start pushing out new leaves. This is a wonderful plant!
