try watering your hoya with diluted coffee to the strength of pale tea about once a month (in addition to your regular waterings). It worked for me! Blooms every year now for months. They bloom in the same spot each year so don't trim them unless you have to maintain their size.
That is so pretty! I've had one for years now, started from my grandma's. I've never been able to get it to bloom. I read somewhere that the vines have to be three feet long in order to bloom. Is that true in your experience? The vines on mine were getting quite long a few years back when my well meaning room mate gave it a hair cut because "it looked uneven." I went nuts. :-) Thanks for posting!
I feel so lucky, I have this plant and it just sprouted it's first bloom. I am thrilled that my greenthumb is working well this year. From my understanding this plant, waxed Hoya, is difficult to get to bloom. I was told the same thing about the "Mother-in-Laws Tongue" and I got that too bloom as well. Both plants display very unusual blooms / flowers.
WOW! What a cool video. I just got my first flowering hoya for my birthday , I think it's a hoya Carnosa, & was blown away by how pretty & fragrant the flowers are. Thanks for making & sharing your video.
I agree yet I have the same Hoya in my house (Hoya Carnosa) in my bathroom to be exact... The window is frosted yet in the morning untill around 2pm it gets sunlight through the frosted window - we have a florescent light also which is on most of the day. The steam from the shower also helps keep the plant in a humid climate/environment. It blooms every few months.
So the lighting isnt too much of a big deal. It isnt a hybrid either as we have had it for 8-10 years.
I love wax hoyas. I grew up with one that was exceptionally lanky. Took us years to learn that it would throw off those horribly long shoots that lazed about for ages before they would fill out with leaves. Haha.
Their scent was always my favourite. Like cinnamon and nutmeg spice cake, I used to think. :)
I'm surprise that's only 20 hours! I never realized how much growing they can do in such a short time, I'm used them being such slow pokey plants!
Hoyas are some of the best tropical plants for interiors. Extremely durable and long lasting. They do require good lighting though. There are many hybred types
That's cool. And they smell so good. Mine generates a lot of nectar on the flowers, very sweet and sticky. I have to keep cleaning the table where the plant lives.
