Can I plant these hoyas together?

8 years ago

I have a spare hanging pot and a bunch of small plants that are extras or just sitting around. I was wondering if I can plant some of them together? I've had a look around online for answers but I'm still not sure... Some sites are so broad that it seems like they might? Space is at a premium here so combo pots are great :D

Can I plant Hoya heuschkeliana, kentiana or loheri together? I'm also rerooting the remains of my ds-70 due to root rot. If the cuttings take, will it also play nice with any of the above 3?

Heuschkeliana, DS-70, and kentiana should do fine together. Loheri prefers drier conditions (I actually will be mounting mine on cork this weekend) than the others.

Yay! I only have the one kentiana and I was hoping to find a couple more to pot up together but so far have only seen the one. I think I'll put it in with heuschkeliana and DS-70 then. I can always shift things around if I eventually find more. The heuschkeliana is new, my variegated pot of it finally bit the dust over Winter so I bought a plain green one. The variegated ones don't seem as hardy, they seem to get black mildew often.

The loheri's are 2 spares I bought because my pot of 3 were looking like becoming another Winter casualty but they seem to have survived and are even thinking about putting on new growth... Thanks for the heads up about keeping them dryer. That's probably why they looked unhappy, they were in a spot out of direct sun and they were staying wet too long so I moved them and they perked up. Not sure what to do with my spares now, maybe later in the season I'll put them all together?

Thank you yet again!

Triffidmoss, Lol funny you should ask. I just basically did a very similar thing. I took a bunch of super long cuttings of various hoyas and I started to root them in one hanging pot as an experiment. I was thinking if they all root and take, how interesting it would be to have a whole bunch of different flowering hoyas in the same pot and blooming at either the same or different times. I’m in a warm and humid climate and my hoyas All live outdoors 363 days of the year and survive so All mine must have similar needs. As a rough guess, I think I have cuttings from about 6-7 hoyas it’s more of an experiment so I didn’t keep track of which ones I included outside of a rough estimate I m interested to know how yours turn out and I’ll update mine too

I have a couple of combo pots, just to make more room. They seem to grow better with friends :D
