I can now say that I have bloomed pretty much all of the different versions of Hoya Bella. I will bring back ‘Luis Bois’ when I have a bigger plant and have spent more time trying to cultivate it.
Hoya Bella Luis Bois
I received this inner variegated form of Hoya Bella called ‘Luis Bois’ over the summer, and it has been much more difficult than the outer variegated form called Anneke Bois. I recently had to start it over because of root rot, but it did bring the plant into flower.
Hoya leticiae In All Her Glory
This is without a doubt the nicest Hoya leticiae that I have ever had so I had to take another photo of it for posterity.
Hoya papaschonii and Hoya insularis
It is very hard to take a good shot of these extremely small flowers together especially with a phone, but here was a quick attempt:
Hoya sp. MT-02 and Hoya oblongacutifolia
No real reason to pair these up other than they are both flowering at the moment.
Hoya sp. MT-02 and Hoya leticiae
This is a good comparison photo as it shows the size differences in two different Acanthostemma Section Hoyas.
Hoya sp. MT-02 And Hoya clemensiorum Together
I almost always have a lot of Hoyas flowering this time of the year in the tents so you will get a lot of comparison photos.
Hoya sp. MT-02 Meets Hoya mirabilis
The title pretty much sums up what you see here!
More On Hoya sp. MT-02
Finally after spraying this plant with sulfur, it began to grow in earnest once again. The plant now is growing in coconut husk mixed with large perlite and is almost 3 feet high. This is one of those Hoyas that will not bloom as a small plant, and it smells powerfully of caramel.
Hoya sp. MT-02 Lives To Flower Again
I have not been able to flower this one for 3-4 years so we will celebrate it for a couple of days. It took me five years to flower it the first time, and after pulled that off, the plant went downhill and I had to restart it. I had the darndest time trying to get it to take off and thrive for me again, and I believe that this was one of the plants that I had that was badly effected by flat mites.
