I have been through a lot with Hoya chinghungensis through the years. It made it as the center spread in the Swedish Hoya Telegraph way back in 2019. I probably sold over 300 cuttings and starter plants of it so it has spread all over the U.S. It has really become a precious plant to me. Here is the restarted plant in 2024; it is not what it used to be, but it is on its way.

I have not put much care into this plant now in a very long time, but somehow it continues to survive. The plant is in a very heavy glazed clay pot, and the soil is also far to dense for it, but it keeps on keeping on…

I had to start this plant over a number of times since I first acquired it. Here is its latest reincarnation:

I figured this plant would be long dead setting it up to grow in a hanging basket, which was too big for the size of the plant, but surprisingly it is holding its own.

Here is a very common Hoya cultivar that gets my highest recommendation to keep for its beautiful foliage. Photos don’t really do it justice.

Hoya sp. Frog Foot just will not stop putting on these unforgettable floral displays, so here is yet another one!

Here are 3 photos I took of Hoya buntokensis over the past few days. The Buds, followed by the open flowers, followed by the entire plant.

For some reason, I have had far more difficult time keeping Hoya Bella Anneke Buis happy then Hoya Bella Luis Bois. Here is Anneke Buis from this morning

Growing in coconut husk chips and living in my bathroom seems to really suit Hoya Bella Luis Bois. It has actually been easier for me to cultivate than the regular green-leafed Bella.

I have kept this plant around for a long time, because I just love the shiny leaves on this one.
