litophytica

I bought two cuttings in April 2011 as sp. PES-01. It was also known as Hoya sp. Umphang.

They had just a few very small roots which were very fragile. I cut one of them in half, making one cutting consisting of only one node. Then put all three in a pot with 50% soil, . . . → Read More: litophytica

mappigera

A bud. No work done in Photoshop (except the “water mark”).

A smaller bud.

pachyclada variegata

I got this precious one autumn 2011. Rooted, fine and beautiful, with phytocertificate and all:

Then I almost killed it so I had to re-root it. Now it has started to grow, but slowly…

Notice how the white margins have changed Anyhow, maybe this one should be called pachyclada albomarginata… if a variegata . . . → Read More: pachyclada variegata

macrophylla (splash form)

I bought this macrophylla Spring 2011 along with another splashed one which didn’t have as much splash as this one. Later I bought another one. This one didn’t have so much splash either. I’m not sure if this characteristic is stable yet. Time and growing will tell.

lobbii (dark form)

I bought this one from Surisa S. back in 2008 when it was still rare. It got big and bushy and took a lot of space, so I sold it off and now after a few years I bought one again… The light green/yellow leaves are due to the sun.

acuta var. hendersonii IML 1462

I bought a cutting of this Hoya autumn 2007. It had one peduncle at the arrival and during 2008 it produced another one, and in June 2008 it flowered with this lovely full ball-shaped umble. Since then it hasn’t grown much, maybe because I haven’t cared for it much to give it more light, but . . . → Read More: acuta var. hendersonii IML 1462

lobbii (miniature form)

Even though the non-miniature form of Hoya lobbii can get small leaves also, the difference is (or might be…) that it’s quite easy to keep the leaves smaller on this one. If I fill the water magazine up to maximum for a period of time – the leaves do get larger (as seen further down), . . . → Read More: lobbii (miniature form)

Rachel

Hoya Rachel is the sister to Hoya Rebecca. The crossings were “created” by Antone Jones – dischidia.com I finally got my hands on this lovely mounted plant from USA, including a phytocertificate and everything.

Rebecca

Hoya Rebecca is the sister of Hoya Rachel. The leaves are green in the winter and when the spring sun arrives – they get red and stays red for a long time into the next winter. Really nice! New leaves have a more Santa Claus red color.

I water it sparingly so that the . . . → Read More: Rebecca
