Can Anyone Identify These Hoyas??

7 years ago

I got these 2 years ago, from a wonderful hoya lover on here. BUT all the tags lost the ink after a few months, and I forgot the name of who sent them to me!

I didn't want to bother anyone with trying to get names of like 20 hoya cuttings that I got . None have ever bloomed, so I lost interest in them. Until now. 1 finally bloomed for me. And I love it. But I have no idea of its name.

As you can see in the pics. it has very plain light green smallish leaves and the flower umble is big!

The flowers are a light pink, fragrant, fuzzy, but not 'heavy blooms' like on the 'Krinkle' hoyas. They are a lighter bloom,meaning the flower itself is not 'thick' it is thinner. I have no other identifying marks to give you . It is plain. It is a very long LONG stem, and it just put out this spur two weeks ago and opened a day ago. Any ideas??


The other has a HUGE leaf! It has never bloomed. I know I have seen this leaf someplace, and I think it is a 'rarer' hoya. I would LOVE to know it, and what its bloom is like. I JUST saw this new growth on it. The new leaf and vine are both a dark red/brown color. Then when it is mature it all turns plain green. The underside of the leaf is NOT red either. If anyone knows it and have a picture of its bloom, that would be great! And is it 'rare' or not worth growing? If it is very hard to grow and bloom, that means it isn't worth the trouble. So far in 2 years it has done little. And no blooms. So...its specific care would be great to know. Thanks all.








Any ideas???

    Seems like my huge leaf one might be 'Latifloria'...it has the these huge leaves and it seems to have a white flower umble to it. But the other looks like it might go unknown for its life. To common?? No one seems to have any idea.

    The pink one looks like Hoya pubicalyx "Pink Dragon". Hoya latifolia might be right for your second plant. Gardino's had it listed at one time saying the leaves got as big as a dinner plate.

    Any idea of how to maybe prove it is the pink dragon??

    Try this. It looks very similar to your plant. https://vermonthoyas.com/hoyas-n-z/hoya-pubicalyx-pink-dragon/


    No splashy leaves, same delicate pink, fuzzy flowers. It's on my wish list, as are Black Dragon and Hoya celata (used to be identified as pubicalyx White Dragon).

    Wow! 'MoonWolf' I think that is it! The very long 'stems' on the blooms is exactly like mine, and the very plain light green thin leaves, and it is similar to the 'Pink Silver' Publicax types, and this looks like a match. The bloom is just about exact!! Think this is it. Thanks!!

    I sent you a box but don't remember which Hoyas I sent :-/

    Lydia!!!! It was YOU!!! The ones you sent me just about all lived. Are living now!

    I am SO SORRY, all the name tags you put on the cuttings, lost all the ink within days. All the rain made them all bleed out. Before I could even make plastic tags.

    I have like 6 different ones from you, in 1 hanging basket. One of them is a 'Publicalix' type, it is NOW growing like a weed. I think it is a 'silver splashed' leaf one, so it is growing BIG. There are like 5 others in the basket. They are all growing ,but none have flowered yet. I now have them hanging from my plumeria tree, it is just putting out its spring blooms, so it is still bald. The leaves come after the flowers drop. So now the hoyas are in full sun half the day. They were in full shade the first year.

    Here is a picture of them. I just took it. I can't tell one from the other. I have been praying for blooms. But non yet. So I cant post much to try and name them. And I of course lost your name, and the other persons name, that sent me like 20 hoya cuttings, long ago. Most of the ones he sent me have taken root. and grown a lot. BUT no blooms.

    That big leaf one is just becoming a big vine now. I am hoping to see a bloom from it, it must be unique??? Here are some pics. of what you gave me. See the paper tags? I thought they were covered in plastic and would last,but the rain washed them away.

    Any idea of the names of the ones with the dark veined leaves? Or the round leaves with the almost heart shape to it? Is that a 'Kerrii'??

    love all your hoyas what a bummer you was not able to write their names down... I have several that I just call Carnosa because when I received them they did not know anything except my grandmother called them wax flower

    that lovely basket of hoyas in these pictures was from 'Lydia Kennedy' on here. Maybe she will be willing to send /sell you some cuttings. she was kind enough to help me out.

    She labeled them all, but I thought the plastic on them would last through more than 1 rain. But it was just tape over paper, thought it was plastic of some sort. So after they rooted, I potted them in this one basket, and the tags were just a blur.

    I have been waiting almost 2 yrs now for 1 bloom, nothing yet. All my difficult hoyas bloom so easily, but these, which i think are mostly the 'easy' bloomers, have not put out any blooms. I am hoping the increased light will get me some blooms and then definite names.

    Hoyas like some direct light to increase their chances of blooming. Good light is essential to ensure blooms. Not many have flowered for me, but they have done well this way (and with some tomato fertilize to help develop new growth, where the peduncles form).

    here are a few of my hoyas......enjoy.




    these are still blooming or in bud now. These are just examples of the BIG flowered ones I grow. no problem. The first one is a newly opened 'Black Dragon' Pubicalyx umble. It has the deep red/purplish foliage when it is new. And the flowers that are also deep red and this lighter red at the same time on the same umbel.

    Right now I have 10 spurs on it with buds growing. About 1 week from blooming all over it.

    it is wrapped around one of my front porch columns, this one is the only opened one. The others will open in a week or so, they produce the deep red blooms with the light red blooms mixed on the same umble. Frequently I get individual blooms in the umbles, that are half deep red and half light pink, it is a sight! Once they open I will post a lot of pics. I have not seen any on here.
