Man alive, this one is a sweet little beauty! These leaves have my 💚! I’m at a point with my hoya collecting that if I can’t say, “this is one of my favorite hoyas,” then I don’t have room in my house for it. And, this hoyabrevialata is staying! The round’ish leaves that curl under are just so charming! Have you noticed that I photograph the majority of my plants with water 💦 still on their leaves? There’s a reason! I coordinate their showers with my posts. 😂 With just under 200 Hoyas in my collection, I rotate through them so each plant gets a good leaf cleaning about once every 3 months. 😁 But while I’m giving them a shower, I’m doing more than just cleaning their leaves! I also let the water run all the way through the pot and drain out the bottom. This helps flush out excess fertilizer salts that can build up in the growing medium over time. 🌱 Fertilizing is important for healthy growth, but flushing those accumulated salts is important, too! So if you see water droplets on my Hoyas…now you know why! 💦🪴✨ Liz’s personal experience only…every environment is different: 🪴Light: west window 🪴Water: when dry 🪴Avg Temp last 30 days: 74F 🪴Relative Humidity last 30 days: 45% 🪴Fussy: no 🪴Rate of growth: slow 🪴Rareness: it’s been around a long time but I don’t see it in many collections 🪴Growing Medium: coco husks & perlite 🪴Fertilizer: I apply a nutrient-rich fertilizer tailored for Hoyas approximately every other watering. If the plant enters a dormant phase, I discontinue its use. It’s packed with essential macro and micronutrients, it’s the best I’ve found for hoyas! 🪴Rooting Method: my coco coir mix 🪴Time In My Care: 4.5 yrs 🪴Would Liz recommend this one: yes hoyaappreciation
