This is a Hoya cultivar that gets my absolute highest recommendation for its outstanding foliage, very early first blooms, and ease of care. I really can’t say anything bad about this one; simply everyone should have it in their collection!

There are not many Hoyas that will put on this kind of floral display at 10 months from starting it from a cutting!

As long as these were both flowering at the same time, why not!

I had to look this one up as I was unsure of how this was done. If there is a wild cross and you are unsure of the which plant bore the seedpod of a suspected cultivar, parents are written in alphabetical order. If you know which plant was the mother and had the seedpod, the mother is written first, followed a multiplication sign, followed by the father. I have seen this plant written both ways on the internet so I have to go with how it was labeled when I got it; so I assume that the plant that bore the seedpod was Hoya fungii. Please let me know if this is incorrect in the comment section of a YouTube video that I will post in the near future.

This plant is very lovely even without flowers, because of the highly speckled leaves:

I rooted this plant in coconut husk chips and moved it to soft tree fern substrate after the 3 oz up was full of roots. It graduated to a 4.75 inch clear orchid pot, and soon produced numerous peduncles and strong buds soon followed. This is a strong plant with no annoying tendency to blast buds thankfully!

Hoya fungii x Hoya pubicalyx RHP (Royal Hawaiian Purple) was given to me as a cutting by my friend Naomi right here in Vermont early last summer. It rooted very quickly and was up-planted twice at this point on its way to flowering.

I am now 80% sure that I have lost my buds on Hoya desvoeuxensis, which is pretty disheartening, but it does at least show me that it is theoretically possible to flower it. To help assuage my bud loss on that Holy grail Hoya is a newly discovered peduncle and developing buds on Hoya stenophylla, which was not even on my radar as a possibility of flowering. Everyone please cross your fingers on this one for me!

Hoya Patricia is growing in pure soft tree fern substrate and really seems to like it as it continually pushes out these new flowers. I actually got behind in the watering on this one, and the leaves were all limp, but after a good soaking they plumped right back up again.
