I had to start my Hoya pachyclada plant over after 8 years because it had gotten to cumbersome to take care of. I was a little nervous, but the cutting has now flowered multiple times. Here are recent photos of the plant with three new peduncles all in flower. Excuse the photos as I didn’t have time to extricate the plant from its neighbors to take the pictures!

Hoya parasitica Is an Unresolved Name
Apparently Hoya parasitica is part of the H. acuta complex, and the name is unresolved. I received the plant around seven years ago as a free cutting in an order from Thailand. It has been with me ever since and has now flowered on two peduncles just sitting on a south windowsill with no artificial aids. Clearly the flowering response was triggered by increasing day length on this one.

Happy May 1st and to Those Who Don’t Think Hoya papaschonii Makes a Good Houseplant…
Happy May 1st everyone! The Hoya growing season will soon be in full-swing around here – Finally! Here are a couple of photos showing what an unbelievable foliage plant Hoya papaschonii can be. I say foliage plant because the flowers are small, but the glossy leaves and dozens of seedpods make up for these shortcomings in spades.
