HoyaAppreciation on LTK

My DischidiaCamiguinIsland never seems to take a day off. It blooms nonstop! 🌸 The flowers stay just like this for quite a while and never open any wider, which somehow makes them even more charming. Am I the only one getting tiny firework vibes from these blooms? 🎆 As much as I enjoy Dischidias, I’ll admit I’m a little biased toward their cousin, the Hoya. Hoya blooms tend to steal the show for me. ☺️ Still, these cheerful little flowers are undeniably cute and add the perfect pop of color among all the green. 💚✨ What do you think? Fireworks, or something else entirely? 👀🌸 Liz’s personal experience only…every environment is different: 🪴Name: dischidiacamiguinisland hybrid 🪴Light: 16 hours of light 🪴Water: when dry 🪴Avg Temp last 30 days: 67F 🪴Relative Humidity last 30 days: 45% 🪴Fussy: not for me 🪴Rate of growth: medium 🪴Growing Medium: pon 🪴Fertilizer: I apply a nutrient-rich fertilizer approximately every other watering when the plant isn’t dormant.

The silvery splashes across the deep green leaves of #hoyacrassipetiolatasplash are remarkable! Every leaf is a unique masterpiece, with no two patterns ever quite the same. Nature really knows how to create living art.

#hoyajennifer was made for all you Jennifers out there! 😆🤪 I may have caught this umbel on its way out, but she still showed up looking fabulous. Some blooms just refuse to have a bad day! 🌸

Have you noticed that I film most of my plants with water 💦 still on their leaves? That’s because I coordinate their shower with my posts! 😄 I have around 190 Hoyas, and I rotate through them in order, so each one gets its leaves cleaned about every 3–4 months.

While I’m rinsing the leaves, I also let plenty of water run through the potting mix and drain out the bottom. This helps flush out excess fertilizer salts that build up over time. Fertilizing is important, but flushing those salts out is just as important!

Have you ever heard of #hoyamicrodwarf before? Well, its name is pretty fitting because it’s definitely micro! 🤣 The leaves are tiny, and apparently the blooms are too.

I didn’t realize this one could sun stress, but I’m so glad it did. The extra color gives it such a bushy, textured look that makes those tiny leaves stand out even more.

A friend I met right here on IG, @its.always.hoya, sent me this darling #hoya as a gift this past year. How cool is that?! 🥰 Thank you, Casey! 🫶

I’m excited to grow this little cutie and learn more about it along the way. Have any of you grown Hoya microdwarf before? 😊🌿

My #hoyaburmanica is giving major angel wing energy. 👼🌿

Tell me I’m not the only one who sees it?

Also… anyone want to take a stab at how many flowers are on this thing? I’ve officially reached the “absolutely not counting all that” stage on this bloom cycle.

And be honest: is this look whimsical, and charming…or has my plant crossed the line into “someone should probably intervene”? 😂

My #hoyanummularioides has popped a few flowers recently. Not as many as it usually blooms, but something is better than nothing. These blooms smell lovely up close, but they make a room smell stinky from far away. In my opinion.

This particular #hoya is a seasonal bloomer. To encourage blooming, it thrives with cool nighttime temperatures, which help trigger its tiny peduncles to mature and extend, eventually producing flowers. What I find fascinating about this Hoya is that nearly every node develops a peduncle, and its leaves have a wonderfully soft, velvety texture that adds to its charm.

#HoyaDeykeae has a reputation for being a bit challenging, but I haven’t found it too difficult.

#hoyaclemensiorum red is showing off with the most gorgeous fall shades 🍁And just when I thought it couldn’t get better—it went and gave me its very first blooms! This is one of the few I’ve got growing in LECA, and clearly, it’s loving life.

🪴Fertilizer: I apply a nutrient-rich fertilizer tailored for Hoyas approximately every other watering when the plant isn’t dormant. It’s packed with essential macro and micronutrients, it’s the best I’ve found for hoyas!

This little #hoyamicrostemma is bringing a whole lot of wow in a bite-sized package. Thank you to Casey with @its.always.hoya for getting this on into my collection!

This #hoyapachycladavariegata is a bit of a slow grower, but I’m ok with that. I love the look of it just as it is. Since it is a slow grower it constantly stays in this beautiful controlled shape! This one is certainly on top 10 favorites list.

The name of this one was changed recently but I still refer to this one by its old name. But it’s time to move on, so I’ve referenced both names! Here are some of the names we can use for this hoya: #hoyasubquintuplinervis aka #hoyapachyclada, #hoyapachycladainnervariegated aka #hoyasubquintuplinervisvariegata

Liz’s personal experience only…every environment is different:
🪴Light: under a grow light

🪴Fussy: not for me
🪴Rate of growth: slow
🪴Rareness: not easy to find at all
🪴Pot size: 3” clear pot
🪴Growing Medium: coco husks with a tad bit of coco coir mixed in
🪴Fertilizer frequency: I use a nutrient diverse fertilizer that is perfect for Hoyas! I use it about every other watering while I’m seeing active growth. I stop if the plant is dormant. This fertilizer contains macro & micronutrients, it’s the best I’ve found for hoyas!

#HoyaLyiPrism is an impressive addition to my collection! Despite its young age, it blooms all of the time. The fragrance of this particular #hoya is incredibly strong—just like lilacs. It has also been busy sending out runners, and its new variegated leaves absolutely tickle me pink. This Hoya is a true standout in my collection. Up next, a sturdier trellis. I think I’ll use a round one!
