It has been a while since I have flowered Hoya oblongicutifolia. I don’t think this plant gets the respect it deserves as I hardly ever see it mentioned anywhere. I guess I have an affinity for this plant as I have had it for a very long time now, and seem to keep it around.
I sold off my giant Hoya kanyakumariana by chopping it all up over the summer. It needed to be restarted from cuttings as the roots on this one were gone from rot over the winter. Anyhow, I will start small once again, and it has already flowered for the first time from the new plant.
Hoya danumensis flowers only last a couple of days so this one unfortunately is on the way out.
I restarted Hoya sp. Haruku from cuttings only 2 months ago and it is already flowering. It is hard to beat that for quickness to bloom!
For a plant that used to hate me, Hoya obscura has not let me down now in a year and a half. This is one of the few plants that I never could grow that has now become easy for me. It is usually the reverse.
Not much to say about this one other than H. blashernaezii is flowering constantly for the first time in quite awhile. It is nice to have a plant that is healthy again!
Hoya Rebecca is literally never out of flower; It is clearly in the cultivar hall of fame!
I must be doing something right as the usually very finicky Hoya sp. Aff. Bella PES-03 is doing pretty well for me lately with lots of flowers.
Sometimes it seems to me that I don’t have much flowering going on, but on closer examination, in fact, I have more than I thought. Over the next few days we will look at what is flowering now with a series of photos comparing the blooms of H. apoda with other Hoyas currently in flower. Here is H. apoda with Hoya Paula ‘Almost’.
I recently started H. manipurensis over, and this is another plant that I believe was strongly hobbled from flat mites. After spraying with sulfur, I am being rewarded with tons of new growth and flowers. The new growth can be differentiated from the older growth from the lack of sulfur residue on the leaves.
