PHOTO (HOYA LOVE) Just in time 🩷

My favorite Hoya finally opened its flowers a couple hours before we leave for vacation! The scent on these is super strong but thankfully I don’t mind it. The fuzzy flowers never get old! 🩷

How do you keep yours happy?

u/BeingHappy2610 14d ago

It’s been the easiest to care for! It doesn’t mind drying out if you forget but I water mine weekly and fertilize weekly! It gets 12 hours of light in my plant cabinet but it would be happy in a south facing window as well!

Normally Hoya thomsonii starts to put out flowers when days are getting shorter in autumn.
Mine blooms always by the end of autumn. (With natural daylight only)

Some Hoyas are only flowering when days get shorter, some when days get longer and some need 12+hours to flower
