10 Hoyas You Won't Find In Plant Shops! 

I just recently got my first hoya... a Krimson Queen. I adore her! I'm hooked. 😂

Agreed!! I find that they thrive in a coco coir mix because of the water retention. Chunky soil and they start to desiccate their roots for me.

😂✌🏼

same!

Exactly what I was going to say!

Came here to say this.

Exactly what I was gonna say. 💚 Hope Nick reads your post.

I hope he reads it too. Commercial Growers, the Swedish Hoya Society, and much of Europe have known about these Flat Mites for years. Would have been nice if they had let us all know 8 years ago when they knew. Sulfur Treatments are the best. I use Tea Tree oil & water in a spray on the leaves and in the soil but there are times this won't be enough. The long time periods with no growth are also indicative of flat mites. There are a few species that can be super slow growers notoriously like Kerrii & Serpens but most Hoya should be vigorous growers as long as people fertilize year round. Yes year round. They work on roots during the winter and need the fertilizer so they can grow abundantly and productively in Spring & Summer. Found this out from a Botanist/ Chemist doing soil studies.

End all works too!

Same! Blasted flat mites.

Lol same! Now when in doubt, treat for mites

What works on mites?

@@nereisa sulfur, hard water sprays on the leaves, ive heard azamax works too.

@@jorlandia4363 well… I can’t spray my Hindu rope. Guess I’ll have to find sulfur and dunk it. Thanks!

I was thinking the same thing 🤔 haha I also dislike blue, but it's definitely a "nature color" for sure

It actually is unnatural. What we see in nature as the color blue is actually green. It's true, hear me out: Humankind didn't differentiate between green and blue until we were able to produce blue dye. Until then blue was just a nuance of green for us. There still are languages that don't use a word for blue. I think Japanese is one of them.

Very very small amount of naturally occurring blue flowers.

​​​​@@schibbolethsquad44 The Japanese words for " Blue" are - ao (青, n.) and aoi (青い, adj.), the same kanji character as the Chinese qīng. Whether it blue or green differs completely on the conversation and subtext of such. If the color is "Sky Blue" it has its own name which is "Mizu". Having Japanese speakers in our family I have learned over the last 43 years that the Japanese language is very specific and is very detailed. An example of this is that there are over 10 different ways just to count in Japanese. Ways to count big things, little things, 3 ways to count numbers, ways to count people etc. The Himba people of Namibia have no word for the color blue.

Agree lol maybe because blue pigments are rare, the color blue itself seems not so hard to find

Hope you did! I’m loving mine so much!

Axillary buds. Pauciflora means few flowers (as you can see there are none :D) Stenophylla = slender leaf. Nice potsssss 🤩 and gorgeus Hoyassss - I just want to grow Hoya 😆

It's a philodendron tripartitum. Got mine from Steve's Leaves.

Steno = narrow

Pauci = having or involving few… so pauciflora refers to it blooming single flowers or pairs… not a large cluster like other hoya
