Hi amber m,
I'm new to the forums as well. Just found this one. I only have a few Hoyas as I'm growing in an apartment, also in NY state, not NYC, lol! I'll probably be mostly lurking as although I grow orchids, cacti, succulents, and carnivorous plants, I'm new to Hoyas. Only been growing them for about a year, so I'm still in the learning phase rather than contributing.

where in new york are you located? i live in lisle which is right outside of binghamton.

Right now I'm in Dutchess County, a ways south of you.

Hi! I'm a 23 year old plant fanatic. I've been dating the love of my life for 3 years. No kids (yet). Half of my collection is succulents and i'm just starting to collect Hoyas. They're addictive!

I live in Philadelphia but was born in northern new jersey. I also collect stones.

yay! im very happy to see someone my own age interested in plants, its so addictive! my grandmother and mother are both garden/plant/flower nuts so i must have inherited my obsession from them! my husband and i have been together 7 years and married 4 in june. and my new favorite plant is HOYAS!!!!

Well, I'm 40 and honestly mainly an orchid grower, but the Hoyas are quickly increasing. I have about 50 - 60 different Hoyas now. I'm fortunate to live in a beach town on the Florida panhandle where our weather is great for growing both Hoyas and orchids, many of which I can leave outside year round.

Over the last year, I've been moving all the potted plants to inorganic media which has it's own requirements, but they seem to be quite happy with it.

I have three sons from ages 20 - 12 that are pretty good about helping me take care of "my plants" - oh and I have a lovely hubby who supports my obsession also.

I'm traveling now a good bit for work, so I post inconsistently. While I check the site when I'm on the road on my tablet, it is difficult to post on it or my phone.

Hi all :)

I am new in these forums - 32, from Queensland, Australia (nice and tropical!)
I have a hoya addiction (about 40 different species so far!),
doing my doctoral studies in genetics, long term partner of 10+ years, a woosy whippet that looks like a tassie tiger, two pythons and a goldfish :)

Very keen gardener, with more than a passing interest in entomology and mycology... all of biology interests me actually, especially if its slimy, bitey, green or gross!

Looking forward to learning more on these forums :)
