Here is another flower comparison photo with Hoya thomsonii ‘Pink’ on the left and Hoya soligamiana on the right.

I wish that I could figure out how to grow Hoya amicabilis well as I constantly struggle with it. It flowers extremely easily, but growing it is another matter altogether!

I can’t remember at this point if I have had these two species together or not so here we are. It may be the last H. mirabilis photo for some time as I just had to start the plant over because of root rot. I am now moving to coconut chips to see if it fares better than in leca.

Here you can see the buds of both Hoya undulata and Hoya onychoides ‘New’ I guess I must have done something right to be blessed with both plants in bud at the same time.

This is my favorite undulata clone, the one with the smooth edged leaves, because it is so much easier to grow. Here you can see a record number of buds for me. Tomorrow a close up of the buds.

Continuing my plan to document the new H. clemensiorum leaf coming in, you can see that it has grown one inch in seven days. Actually, I take take that back, according to the photo dates, it was actually 6 days. Eventually I will assemble these photos into some kind of page, or collage.

Hoya thomsonii ‘Pink’ presented a real leaning curve, but was extremely rewarding to grow and flower. I now know how to flower this one by manipulating its day length cycles, and know that it can be flowered at an extremely young age. This is a wonderful little Hoya and one that I give my highest recommendation to!

At the same time I tried the shortening day length hack on Hoya thomsonii ‘Pink’ I also tried it on Hoya linearis, which is another reliable fall bloomer. I had the exact same results and it also flowered at exactly the same time. I am sure that this process could be successfully used on most fall bloomers. Another one that comes to mind is Hoya nummularioides which only seems to flower in the autumn.

Here is another comparison photo of another cool weather Hoya up against Hoya thomsonii ‘Pink’:

I really love these two together! The wonderful world of Hoyas!
