Bedroom Hoyas

14 years ago

My lambii (still living, semi-hydro, under-fertilized, in its weird accidental glass jar habitat) seems to be happy. It bloomed at the beginning of the month...

... and now it's already budding up again. Super. That's all the lambii. I have done diddly for it.

In other news, the carnosa in my bedroom is blooming. Well they're all blooming, but the rest of them are notinthebedroom, an important characteristic for them to have.

idk guys, I am seriously on the fence about that smell. Perfume smells + food smells do not mix! I think I'm going to start having dreams that restaurants started serving risotto with Chanel No5 and steak with Harajuku Lovers.

So, here's the question (FINALLY, you cry!)

What Hoyas are bedroom friendly?

GG, congrats on the blooms! :) I have several hoyas in my bedroom too and it's an ideal location since the window faces east. My carnosa hangs right in the window, then I also have memoria, verticillata (finally showing some new growth), incurvula, kerrii and motoskei. I have a few other plants in there too and they all seem to enjoy that location.

Wow...LOVE your Lambii GG! Carnosa is pretty as well. I'm pretty excited about having several buds on my carnosa 'moteskei' popping up all over. This one is a great spring bloomer for me.

GG congrats on the Hoya lambii blooms. This one really does not hold on to its blooms for long but I find after it blooms a few times it gets things down and the flowers open fully and appear often. Did you get to smell the blooms before they faded?

I grow Stapeliads in my bedroom so I can't comment. lol
They get moved when in flower but I also don't have any Hoyas (in the BR) that have that sweet scent so common in the Acanthostemma section species. Hoya lacunosa is welcome as are the more perfume scented ones and any that are not fragrant.
