Hi All,
I'm a hoya lover as well. I've had mine for over 20 years now, but it did take at least 10 for it to start to flower. It is an easy plant to grow and once it becomes root bound the growth is fast. Mine is taking over my living room wall already.
I've pinch off my flowers mid bloom and at other times and nothing seems to stunt their bloom.
My plant has the pale pink flowers. Many have ask me if I like the peculiar smell? But I haven't noticed any at all, the only thing I have is a mess if you don't catch the dried flowers before they drop.
I was gone for a week once and when I came home, well you know the rest, just wish I would have taken a picture before I cleaned the mess.
I'd love to start another hoya, but my hubby says I've got a forest in the house already so I think I'll try something else.

Hi All,
I'm trying out my photo skill, see if I can actually post a photo of my hoya plant.

Rosepetal Wow ...,your's is magnificent! I've never seen one with such growth!

Hi, all. My Lacunosa has just opened its first flower. It smells WONDERFUL! I'm so happy. The Matilda seems to be growing a flower spur, it's a little small to pin too much hope on, but maybe... The Pink-silver is infested with scale bugs. I just moved it outside where I can thoroughly spray it (it's the monster - vines floor to ceiling plus several feet and still growing, but narry a flower). And the Krimson Queen (or Princess) is small yet, but growing well. There are so MANY wonderful hoya and I have such limited space. It's very frustrating.

i would sure like to have a start of the sweetheart hoya could you help. i am hoping you would have a start thank you

Hi all,

My hoya is very easy to take care of. I just water it with "shultz plant food" in my water once a week. It has been moved 3 times and it's still growing strong.

One thing they love to be is root bound.

Here are pictures of mine.
