My Hoyas

15 years ago

I wanted to post a few pics of my Hoyas and see what you all think. I rearranged to fit them in the window today, which faces ESE.

First is 5 of them in the window together


Next is Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen'

Next is Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Princess'


Next is Hoya lacunosa 'Snow Caps'


Next is my new Hoya curtisii

And last is my new Hoya kentiana I just picked up today at Home Depot. I read that it is mislabeled many times as kentiana when it is really wayetti.


What do you all think??

    They look happy & healthy! They apparently like that ESE exposure. Have you gotten any blooms yet? If not, they all look blooming size, so it shouldn't be long!

    Not yet, they are all fairly "new". I got the carnosas about 5 months ago, and then the other 3 have been in the last couple weeks.

    Looking good and I am sure your Hoyas will love it in that window.

    Wow...I love the way you have them hanging in different heights. Looks great! The do look like blooming sizes so I'm sure you will get blooms soon if you haven't already.

    Just a friendly suggestion...maybe every two weeks or so you can turn the pot so the plant can get the light evenly from your window, might make them bloom on all sides too. Good luck!

    They ALL look lovely! Nice to have such a full curtsii - for sure!! Mine, well, it was from a cutting so - its healthy but really small... and of course LOVE your snow caps....
    I have a variety that looks exactly like your wayetti, but I bought mine from David liddle named angustifolia, looks exactly the same except mine isnt as green as yours - its been a nice reliable species always blooming its fool head off... and I have mine growing around a hoop which looks kinda cool... Anyways your plants look awesome... wish I could buy such big beautiful plants like you...

    I like the way you have them hanging too - looks like a store display window. They're all very sweet. ^_^

    It's always fun to see pics of others' setups --- thanks for sharing!

    Ditto everyone's comments, they're all very beautiful and healthy. I can't get over the shiny lacunosa. My snowcaps is hanging outside and looks rather dull. :) I'm thinking I need to bring that one back inside.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks everyone! My husband came home and said "Oh my god, you have taken over ALL the windows". My orchids fill the other 3 ESE facing windows. I haven't touched the WNW facing windows though ;)

    Did you point out to your husband his exaggerations???

    Kelly

  • 15 years ago

    Is the exaggeration that he clearly still has a WHOLE window to look out of (!!) or that his wife is still being incredibly well-behaved in comparison to us?

    Please ma'am might I have some more window?
    Whaaaat? Mooooar?!

    Haha, I usually just ignore it. He knows that I am going to get whatever plants I want to. I do have over 150 orchids,so that is the excessive part...I just started with hoyas ;)
