Hoya ID please

11 years ago

Hi everyone,

I found a sad looking unmarked Hoya at the garden center a few weeks ago, so of course brought it home to try and save. It seems to have a twining habit, so I topped it, stuck the cutting in the same pot, and it rooted with ease. The leaves were a little fuzzy when it was younger, but now the older leaves are smooth and fleshy. I feel like I should know this one, but I have CRS and so there you go. Is it a type of H. australis?

Thanks in advance.

It's an Eriostemma but don't know the name until it flowers.

I'm not 100% sure it's a Hoya... The only one I've grown that looks similar is cv. Ruthie, but I doubt that's one you would find at a local nursery. Whatever it is, it's pretty!

Thanks, Denise. It was marked Hoya with a plant tag, but that doesn't mean anything. Another one to sit and wait it out! :D

**Unable to edit on my phone, but I meant it was marked "Hoya" just not the species.

I know you have all been losing sleep over this puzzler, but I think it's a ciliata. I just purchased a slightly older ciliata from the ALWAYS AND FOREVER AMAZING Gardino's and they look *exactly* the same. I'm so tickled. And I'm probably totally wrong, but whatever, it's Thursday night and I'm getting my Hoya on. :D
