Hoya

My IM-08 cutting is blooming! I bought this one specifically for the flowers, too. I’ve seen cuttings in bloom here, but never thought it would happen to me 😍


This guy was in a package USPS lost long enough they had to ‘investigate’, and I got it after 5 days in transit in 90+ temps (July/Aug), so I was frankly glad it even lived. This is also my first time using ‘aquarium substrate’ (I believe just small clay balls like mini LECA). I usually use stratum for my cuttings, but this was 1/2 the price. Still on the fence, but it obviously works enough. I couldn’t believe it even had a new stem grown from the substrate!

    Ah it’s one of the Papua hoyas I’ve been hearing so much about! Well done. The small leaf hoyas are so alluring and can be so heartbreaking. I’m glad you were rewarded!

    The flowers look so cute. Do they have a scent?
