ID confirmation

9 years ago

last modified: 9 years ago

I found this on clearance yesterday. I have lots and lots of plants, but mostly aroids, ficus, succulents. This is my first hoya. I did some investigating, and it looks like kentiana variegata to me. I thought I would see if any of you lovely hoya experts would confirm our correct me if I'm wrong. Also, I was surprised that it was on clearance with all the half-dead succulents- there doesn't seem to be a while lot wrong with it, other than some bare stems. Am I missing something? Should I trim the bare stems, or will they fill in?

That's a great find!! You are right about the id and yes, the bare stems will fill in. Don't trim, you will prevent it from forming peduncles....I have a tiny plant of that. Paid $14 plus shipping..you're so lucky to have found one that size :-)

Yes, great find especially if it's an EA Hoya. I don't think they have that variety in this springs rotation,

Yes. That is a rarer one EA sells. I have never seen it around here. But i did find one last year at a local garden center. I just put it outside on saturday. I got mine in a 6 inch pot and immediately put it in an 8 inch. It grew very nicely last year. Be careful about watering that one. they are easy to rot.

The leaves seem rather succulent... Gritty mix, or 5-1-1?
