Another one that was flowering alone with Hoya-yvesrocheri so I’m taking advantage of it!

I think that these two look great together! Hoya oblongicutifolia does not have showy leaves, but I absolutely love the flowers on this plant. That is why it still is in my collection, when so many others have passed through.

Here is Hoya cupula before I have to restart it, because of a desperate need to up-pot it. I think that I want to try it as a hanging basket the next time I try it.

Hoya-yvesrocheri meets the former Hoya pubicalyx ‘Pink Dragon’.

Both flowering at the same time, so what the heck.

These flowers seem to have little in common other than they are both pink!

The flowers stayed open for around four days and had no detectable scent.

Finally tiring of waiting months for this plant to bud up, I was forced to monkey around with its day length cycle, and moved it from 14 hour days down to 12 hour days. Apparently this was what the doctor ordered, as it began to bud up almost immediately. The flowers were much nicer than I had anticipated, and it produced a multitude of 1 inch pink blooms.

Hoya-yvesrocheri was never a great grower, and by that I mean that it has a tendency to have leaves yellow and fall off, which always makes me crazy. It was not near as vigorous as stenophylla, but it still grew steadily. It developed its first peduncle at about 2 years of age, but there was no signs of it ever wanting to bud up even after it had 20 peduncles. Below the plant as it looks now:

I received Hoya-yvesrocheri as a very small rooted cutting that was growing in pon in October of 2021. It was part of a trade for Hoya thailandica and included H. stenophylla. Since I hate Lechuza Pon with a passion, I quicky transplanted it to a chunky mix.
