My first hoya, ID please?

6 years ago

I've been wanting a hoya in a hoop planter forever, one of those things my mom had growing up that I thought was so lovely. I am so excited to watch them grow
I put 2 plants in the same pot because I wanted something reasonably full right away. The 2 plants were roughly the same size but priced differently and I was told that was because they were different varieties though neither was labelled except as "hoya". I've included a close up of a leaf from each plant ... I don't see a difference except that one plant is slightly darker than the other?

I'm fairly new to hoyas myself, but to me, it looks like a pubicalyx. But I don't know what specific variety.

P.S. I really like your circle planter!

Thank you! I really like it too, I've been casually looking for one just like it for quite a while and finally stumbled upon it stashed in a corner at a local plant store, so I bought 2 :)
Pubicalyx looks likely, can't wait for blooms!

That looks really cute with them on either side of the door like that! If it does bloom, please come back to give an update. I've yet to have one bloom. However, I have only really been obsessed with hoyas for about a year. I already have five different ones and planning for more.

There are three different ways to tell the difference between pubicalyx silver pink and red buttoms
If anyone is interested in reading about this topic, you can tell me by message and I will provide you with links.
Do you know which of the two is this?
