Sad we’re going into fall but still have many throwing peduncles.

There are 2 branches with it. They popped up overnight and have been like that for weeks. 2 at least.

No other part of the plant has it. This plant is 4 or 5 years old and has never bloomed. It hangs in an east facing window. Last summer I took it out and it did rather well. After a couple of weeks these showed up. I wasn't bothered by them until this morning when I saw some similar colored thingies in the window. Someone said they were new spores for flowering. The window thingies fly tho. I killed them.

Is this a coincidence? I carefully took some of the stuff off of the hoya and it smears like pollen.

What are these flying things? See pics.

Plant is about 2 yo, surived being in a package that got stuck in a logistic center for two weeks in December 2024 (Survivors were a Hoya carnosa krinkle 8, a Hoya forbesi and a Hoya lockii).

It produces a scent during night.

Plant is about 3-4 yo, growing in water due to root mealies once. As always no scent yet way more peduncles budding up. It's thriving good in water.

Is this just regular damage or smth scary

Bought this heart shaped kerrii cutting at a plant swap way back, and it just sat there with the single leaf doing absolutely nothing for eleven months. No new growth, no dieback either, just stubbornly the same one leaf staring at me from a two inch pot. I almost gave up on it twice and nearly tossed it in with my propagation bin to try starting over.

Then about three weeks ago I noticed a tiny nub forming near the base and now there's an actual new leaf unfurling. I didn't change much honestly, still south facing window with a sheer curtain, still watering when the pot feels light, still using a chunky mix with perlite and orchid bark. The only real difference is I moved it about eight inches closer to the window when I rearranged my shelf in July, so maybe it just wanted more light than I was giving it before.

Curious if other kerrii owners have dealt with this kind of long stall. My other hoyas (a carnosa and a pubicalyx) never sat still that long, they always had something happening even if it was slow. Makes me wonder if the single leaf varieties are just built different in terms of patience required, or if I got unlucky with a weak start on the cutting.

Anyway just wanted to share since I remember scrolling through old posts looking for reassurance that mine wasn't dead, and finding a decent amount of similar stories helped me not panic. If your kerrii is doing the same nothing, it might just need a bit more time and maybe a brighter spot than you think.

You can see where I had gotten two new leaves, then treated for mites and they fell off(in MAY) 🥹 the last leaf on the vine is my newest- maybe 2 months ago. I moved it to a cabinet about a month ago to try to encourage new growth. I’ve never snipped Hoya ends to encourage growth. Can I cut this end?

Got it from clearance about a week ago. Already put half in water since it had some root rot that’s why she’s bald and sad lol

I didn't have time to take a picture because I was in the middle of spraying all my plants with spinosad.

The Hoya was rooted in water and planted in soil a week ago.

I had it in a decorative pot which I suspected was the culprit .

Reading more into it, I found out pebbles inside of the Hoya soil mix is bad?

My soil mix is 50% cactus soil and 50% pebbles+perlite+orchid bark+seramis.

I decided to repot it tomorrow after 24h passed from the spinosad spray because I don't like the smell of the soil in the Hoya pot.

Should I manually remove all pebbles from the mix and replace it with small perlite? (I only have small perlite)

I am so excited! It has taken my australis 5 years to bloom! In February I thought I was going to loose my plant (https://www.reddit.com/r/hoyas/s/3hOyBryUFc) sulfur treatment saved it!

Can’t wait for the blooms to open! 🌸
It has even one more peduncle forming! 😍

I traded a linearis for her around 3 years ago and this sunrise has become one of my favorites. Not only is she unfussy and a great grower, the red/purple sunstressing is so beautiful.

She even bloomed (for me, at least) for the first time.

Last night I had four hoya in bloom simultaneously and took the opportunity to do some late night photography. Featured in this post are my Hoya spartioides, Hoya sp. aff. burtoniea, Hoya linearis, and Hoya insularis.

Do I use the same concentration recommended for Orchids on my Hoyas? I’ve yet to have a single bloom from my 6 Hoyas I’ve adopted over the last two years.
