Anyone else here grow hoyas? They are my favorite houseplant. I have around 15 different kinds and I want more, they are so addicting, mostly because of their beautiful and unique flowers, and most of them have very fragrant flowers.I was hoping there others here who would like to trade cuttings in spring or when wheather permits. I have several different plants that I can take cuttings from, A few of are still to small to get cuttings from but maybe another trade can be set up for later in the summer after new growth has started. If anyone is interested plmk.

sure I do, but not many of the flowers themselves.


this is the only one that is blooming at this time.

Hi, Halsa! I have 4 hoya, cv Matilda, cv KrimsonQueen(with a second K?), Lacunosa, and Publicalyx "Pink-Silver". The first 3 are small and have not bloomed yet. They just rooted from small cuttings last summer. The Pink-Silver is huge and unruly, I could easily give you some, lots, but it looks like you already have some. Does yours bloom? Mine never has. I have nothing to trade, but maybe you could tell me the name(s) of hoya that will bloom nicely in normal livingroom conditions. Thanks. Here are my favorite hoya "stores."

Hi Halsa,

What beautiful Hoya's you have!! I have never grown them before. I recently got a cutting from a friend of mine. I planted it, so we will see how it goes. I am not sure what the name is ( she does not know) It very much resembles the one you have with the tiny white specks on the leaves. I have 6 leaves ( very healthy looking), and then about 2 1/2 feet of vine after the leaves. I understand that vine will sprout leaves too! yay!! You can bet I will be back to ask you questions now that i know you are so experienced in growing them. What type is the one with the heart shaped leaves? I think I fell in love

Hi all!

I´m a hoya collector and I would be interested in trading hoyas. But the weather doesn´t allow it right now. Maybe later, when spring has arrived?

I'm still wondering if anyone has any tips to get a hoya to blossom more?

I also have a hoya, a Hoya tsangii. I got it as a small cutting about 2 years ago. It hasn't bloomed yet, but from what I understand, should this summer. I can't wait!

Hi All,
I'm a hoya lover as well. I've had mine for over 20 years now, but it did take at least 10 for it to start to flower. It is an easy plant to grow and once it becomes root bound the growth is fast. Mine is taking over my living room wall already.
I've pinch off my flowers mid bloom and at other times and nothing seems to stunt their bloom.
My plant has the pale pink flowers. Many have ask me if I like the peculiar smell? But I haven't noticed any at all, the only thing I have is a mess if you don't catch the dried flowers before they drop.
I was gone for a week once and when I came home, well you know the rest, just wish I would have taken a picture before I cleaned the mess.
I'd love to start another hoya, but my hubby says I've got a forest in the house already so I think I'll try something else.

Hi, all. My Lacunosa has just opened its first flower. It smells WONDERFUL! I'm so happy. The Matilda seems to be growing a flower spur, it's a little small to pin too much hope on, but maybe... The Pink-silver is infested with scale bugs. I just moved it outside where I can thoroughly spray it (it's the monster - vines floor to ceiling plus several feet and still growing, but narry a flower). And the Krimson Queen (or Princess) is small yet, but growing well. There are so MANY wonderful hoya and I have such limited space. It's very frustrating.

Back with the secrets of success for Hoya's
It say's the H bella need's more heat and humidity but less light.it say's the don't are not to remove dead flowers do not disturb plant once it bud's and the temp50 to 55 in winter Light bright light water liberally from spring to autumn and sparing in winter mist leave's regularybut not when is in bloom repot if necessary in spring and for propagation take stem cutting using mature shoot's in spring
Hope this help any one that needed it
