so excited!!!

Okay, I don't post very often, because before I worked alot. But, I have an obsession with hoya's, ever since my mom had the plant, didn't know what it was, and one day it bloomed, and I was sooooo excited! So, she gave me a cutting, and I started picking up hoya's whenever I see one that is a different type. So far I only have the Hoya Carnosa's that are sometimes called KQ and KP, and those are really big ones. I love them! And I have the tiniest cutting of a hoya bella...only six leaves on it. But, I'm posting because for my birthday I got 5 different hoya's, they are small 2 1/2" pots, none that I already have. And I am so excited. I won't know which ones until they arrive but they should be here next week! Oh and I dont know where Im going to put them. I live in an apartment right now...luckily it has tons of windows and I have ivy's, echeverias, snake plants, elephant ears, bamboo, jades, etc...it's becoming a jungle!

Anyway I had to post because Im always on here reading peoples postings and I was just so excited...cuz Im always so jealous of all the different hoya's that people have! There's not many to choose from in Ohio.

It's so exciting to get new Hoyas, isn't it?! You can always find room for more, though. I'm the master of finding ways to squeeze just another plant or two in front of an already crowded window!

So tell us what species you got for your birthday... Or better yet, post pics.

WELCOME!!!!
I bought my first hoya in Chicago. I brought her with me when I moved to California in 1979. I was not aware that she was a"hoya", I just liked the way she looked. And she was the only hoya I had until 2000, when she decided to flower.....Oh my, I couldn't believe what this plant was doing...she bloomed profusely. Needless to say, I now have more than one HOYA. Welcome, your in the right place, lots of good info on how to, for Hoyas!

Alba,

You sound like me! Got my first in 1977, dragged it (with other plants) to Biloxi, Mississippi in 1980, then to California later that year. It was a well-traveled plant! Once you get the "taste" of Hoyas, you can't get enough!

To see how to post pictures, go to the hoya forum page, do a search at the bottom of the page, how to post pictures. It will bring up lots of threads on how to post them here.
