Mine is very small still, so it'll be a while before that one blooms. I'm always surprised to see how poorly Hoyas sell in general, but people like the immediate gratification of plants already in bloom around here. I hope you get lucky and people don't notice the Hoya you have your eye on either!!!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311361025445420853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573109756175117560.post-70359800731819170392012-07-14T10:20:08.452-04:002012-07-14T10:20:08.452-04:00This is a very beautiful plant, and you got yourse...This is a very beautiful plant, and you got yourself a great buy! I have two of these, a lot smaller than yours, but I think they're just lovely, they're called the sweetheart hoya, and the variegated variety are a lot prettier I think; the leaves are just so beautiful, and the all yellow ones look very special. I've been told to keep them root bound in a small pot, and this helps them to flower, which is scented. Mine grows so slowly, so it was wise and lucky that you got a larger plant. I like the Hoya compacta, Indian rope, a lot too, it's crazily beautiful, and also comes in variegated form, see what you think. I'm saving for this one, and have found a good plant in a local garden center, that many people have ignored, hopefully it will go unnoticed until I get it.:-)gaianurseryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367322244187304881noreply@blogger.com
