Third one is polyneura. I'm pretty sure the first one isn't a Hoya.

Thanks Denise. The more I research I think the first one may be a dischidia Major? Looks very similar.

Hi Monica,

Congrats, I was going to tell you that you scored w/ your Polyneura (Fishtail Hoya), but I see Denise beat me to the punch. I can't quite see on the 1st pic, but those are buds right, at the 11 o'clock position? I don't think Dischdia , tho' Denise knows them more than I. I think that might be an Aeschenanthus (sp?), aka Lipstick plant. Closer up on the buds may show better.

That Chelsea is terrific, I love the cupped like texture of the leaves.

Enjoy!

No, not a Dischidia. Lipstick plant was my first instinct, but I don't grow it so I'm not as familiar with it as others.

Thanks. I was really excited when I spotted that "fishtail". They had several Rubras and one Chelsea mixed in the bunch. I took a chance with the other one hoping it might be Hoya but it's pretty just the same. They were all marked down to $9.99 because the water in the garden shop was turned off and they were dry as a bone and the soil was hard as a rock. The Chelsea needed a little help too as it must have fallen over at one point and no one fixed it. Half the pot had barely any soil and the other half had so much soil the cuttings were coming out. They held on as the soil was so dry and hard. It certainly proves how hardy the Carnosa family is.

The only down side of these plants were that I found 2 stink bugs in the lipstick plant. This is why I quarantine and go over every inch of any new plant I get.

i read fishtails are hard to keep alive. Any special tips that would help me? I love the DS-70's but manage to lose stems because the is moist/wet on the meter yet the leaves seem to dry up. All my Carnosa varieties (publicalyx) are thriving. Thanks again.

Let the polyneura dry out completely in the winter time before rewatering or it might succumb to rot.

Thanks. I just picked up this tricolor for $1.25 as its in bad shape. Does this look like fungus?

Nice find, I believe this is H Krimson Queen, does what look like fungus? The couple of darker spots on the leaves?

That's what I thought. I'm going to spray it with Bayer 3 in 1 spray. I guess I should take off the leaves that look bad for aesthetic purposes.

I'm ASKING, not telling.

Oh, lol - I think it's fungus/disease because I don't believe any type of insect could do that.
