Reader is referred as ‘ 𐙚 ‘

It’s been a few weeks since the night of you and Nahoya’s night of passion. He’s been a bit nicer to you! Staying with you at your apartment longer, taking you out for dinner, even cuddling with you?! It’s a surprise you didn’t expect but you do enjoy it.

But the way of how obsessed he became with your bottom was always a bit flustering to say the least, the random gropes on your body, the random slaps on the ass when you bent down to pick something up from the floor always ended up with you bent over the counter with his thick cock breaking into your puffy pussy until you were filled with his cum and you were babbling sweet words of nothing.

As much as you love Nahoya for how he treats you now, you’re still a bit curious about who this ‘Special Someone’ who he mentioned was, so you decided to finally pop the question when he was cockwarming you on your red velvet couch.

“‘H-Hoya? Who did ‘chu mean the first time we had sex?-“

Nahoya glanced up from the TV to glance down at your soft face, grabbing your cheeks and giving them a soft squeeze to make your lips pout out. A smirk on his stupidly perfect face as his voice feels a bit husky, and giddy to hear you finally ask him the question.

“Hm, aren’t you ‘s needy to know, huh, baby? I’ll make sure to bring him along with me tomorrow night, so make sure this needy little body ‘s all ready for us, okay?”

“Okay, Hoya!”

You couldn’t lie the way your puffy cunt gently clenched around his twitching cock, your hips gently grinding down onto his crotch as the tip of his reddened cock hit your sweet spot so perfectly. Your lips pouting out as more soft mewls escaped your glossy, drool ridden lips as the cockwarming slowly guided you to riding his cock until you finally got tired and let Hoya take control, like always!

Finally the day came, you could meet that ‘Special Someone’ Hoya was talking about! You couldn’t lie as you wondered who it was, Hoya told you to dress extra pretty for who was coming with in. You dressed in a skimpy, white tank-top that teasingly showed off your cleavage and didn’t leave much to imagine, a cute white thin thong, and finally the perfect short skirt that would only expose your bottom. You say obediently on your couch on your knees waiting for Hoya to walk through the door,

Then you heard the door click, and then came Hoya with someone behind him who almost looked directly like him?.. He had blue curly hair that looked almost like cotton candy, he had a few bags in his slender long hands almost like Hoya’s that made you think they were twins!

The blue haired guy spoke first with a bit of hesitation as he dropped the bags off at your counter. He had on a letterman jacket with the half side of white demon on the back and a pair of gray sweats that showed off the outline of his pretty dick

“Okay, there’s the bags 'Hoya, why did you want me to come with you again?”

“That right over there! The cutest ‘lil bitch I ever fucked,”

You smiled sweetly towards the blue haired guy, making sure he saw your glossy lips; sweetly waving at him with your manicured hands as your eyes gently fluttered your eyelashes. You soon found out your hunch was right! The guys name ‘Souya’ was the younger twin between the two of them.

You noticed Hoya making a notice with his fingers for you to come over to the both of them, you happily got off your couch and walked over to the two of them. Noticing the wine and food on the counter as your eyes strayed away from Hoya over to his brother, you happily hugged his brother, unknowingly pressing your breasts to his chest as you batted your eyelashes up to him, feeling admired from his grayish-sky blue eyes.

You almost couldn’t form any words as you felt Hoya grab you back from his brother, his arm around your plump waist. His smile turned into a smirk as he placed you back onto the couch, forcing his brother next to you as you glanced over towards his nervous twin.

“I’ll be in the bathroom, you two have fun!”

You almost wanted to squeal in excitement at the thought of being alone with Hoya’s twin, you happily scooted closer towards his twin with an innocent look from your lashes.

“Hi! What’s your name!”

“Souya… What's yours, doll?”

You felt your cunt create a wet spot onto your thin thong. Your manicured nails gently moving over towards the hard-on through Souya’s gray sweatpants.

“𐙚! I’ll just call you Sou, it’s cute isn’t it!”

Souya only nodded politely at the nickname you made for him, he could only nod because his eyes were only focusing on your cleavage from your tank-top, he cleared his throat gently as you noticed a soft blush on his face. You giggled gently before climbing onto his lap.

Souya just froze the moment you climbed onto his lap, you gently dragged your nails across his chest, feeling the lean figure he had as you encouraged him to touch you like he was yours. One of his hands immediately went to your hips, the other went and pulled off your tank-top, exposing your breasts as his shaky fingers gently tugged on one of your nipples, your soft lips turning into an ‘O’ as your hips grinded down onto the bulge through his gray sweatpants, your mewls sounded so pretty that it even got Hoya back out of the bathroom to watch the porngraphic scene before him; his brother tugging at your nipples while you moaned like a whore.

“Aw, ain’t this a pretty sight? My brother playing with my babies breasts~ C’mere, 𐙚.”

You pouted softly as you gently climbed off of Souya’s lap, covering up your breasts with your forearm as you tried to explain yourself, your eyes strayed down to the hard-on Hoya had in the trousers of his suit. You almost wanted to drop down to your knees and show him how sorry you are with your mouth.

“Hm, Sou, go grab the wine for us!”

Souya immediately got up and walked over to your counter grabbing the wine bottle from the bag and holding it in-front of Hoya. Hoya went off to your cabinet and grabbed a few wine glasses for the three of you, pouring some wine for you guys as you sat back down on the couch. Waiting for Hoya to hand you a wine glass as he poured the most for you, something clearly on his mind you didn’t know about?

You got handed your wine glass and happily thanked Hoya as you drank it slowly, a few glasses in and you were already drunk and babbling with a mindless smile on your face. Hoya couldn’t help but smirk as you happily pranced around and your apartment with your breasts out.

“Baby, come here and get down on your knees in-front of Souya.”

You glanced over towards Hoya and happily nodded as you walked over towards Souya, tugging at Souya’s sweatpants as you tried to pull them down to suck his dick.

“Sou~ wanna suck ‘chu off!”

Souya could only sigh quietly as he hid the blush appearing on his face, slowly pulling down his sweatpants for you as he turned into mush the first time he felt your hands hold his hardened dick. Your tired eyes gently batting your lashes up to him as you gently placed a kiss to the tip of his reddened cock threatening to spill more precum, licking at the slit of his head. Finally placing your lips halfway down his cock,Souya gently placed his hands through your hair, running his fingers through it while his voice turned squeaky and whiney.

“D-doing so good for me, such a pretty lil’ mouth… you feel so good…”

You glanced back over at Hoya who had his eyes into hungry slits, his hand palming at the hard-on through his pants as he gently placed his dress-shoes underneath your skirt.

Rubbing the cold, leather fabric onto your thin thong, your throat vibrating around Souya’s cock as your brain was basically turned into mush at this point. Sucking Souya off while Hoya was playing with your pussy with the bottom of his shoe, his hand slipping into his pants as he gently rubbed the tip of his pink head with his thumb. Your moans making Souya’s dick twitch in your warm mouth as your tongue working around the tip of his cock, your hands gently playing with his balls before Souya pulls his dick out of your mouth to cum all over your pretty breasts.

You almost couldn’t hold back a whine when Souya came all over your breasts, warm, white ropes of cum decorating your body as you felt Hoya’s shoe move off your clothed cunt. Hoya pulling you back on the couch. You gently shoved Souya back down to the couch and gently climbed onto his face, Hoya staring at you surprised as you slip off your wet thong and shoved it off to the floor.

Happily grinding your puffy cunt onto Souya’s skilled tongue, your mewls being cut off by the feeling of Hoya’s dick being shoved down your throat, it was a different feeling from Souya’s, Hoya was more thick while Souya had a longer dick with a more kept crotch, and a pretty vein leading down from his tip, while Hoya’s was endorsed in veins and would always make your throat feel tighter than it already was.

Souya brought your attention back down to him, his tongue gently running against your puffy clit as his pretty hands pulled you down to his face more, his nails digging into the soft skin of your thighs as his tongue moved through your gummy walls without hesitation. Following the same pace as you sucked on Hoya’s dick as your thighs gently clenched around his head, riding your high off of his tongue as you came all over his lips, your soft whimpers moaning on Hoya’s dick as you popped it out of your mouth with a loud sigh of exhaustion. Your back arching and your body twitching from Souya’s moving tongue cleaning you up still from your orgasm.

Hoya could only let out a cold chuckle as he was the only one who hadn't come for the entire night, his hand gently running through your hair before he gripped your hair, pulling you up from Souya’s mouth and holding you up by your hips.

Your legs wrapping around Hoya’s waist in response as you feel his thick cock gently grind against your puffy, sensitive cunt, needy moans escaping past your ruined, pink lips as you feel another dick press up against your wet slit, feeling both of their dicks slide in at the same time with a wet pop.

Your mouth gasping quietly as your moans turned into soft, babbles of a drunken dream coming to reality. Hoya’s pace was more rough and fast, Souya’s was more gentle but it still was filled with desire, you could only feel pain mixed with pleasure as Souya’s fingers gently guided to your hard, cold nipples.

His fingers gently pinching them as he slowly pushed is full dick inside of your gummy walls, Hoya was pushing up against your sweet spot once again, your arms wrapped around both of their necks as you whined quietly as a sign of your close second orgasm of the night and with a flash of light you felt warm, ropes of cum shoot into you like a wild animal.

Souya and Hoya slowly pulled their dicks out of your filled cunt, both of them panting heavily, with hoarse voices as Souya gently placed his chin on your shoulder, feeding you sweet nothings with gentle kisses on your neck; while Hoya gently shoved his slender fingers back inside your filled pussy to keep all the cum inside of you, your sweet moans nearly turning them back on if they both weren’t tired from fucking you senseless tonight.

Finally setting you back in your bed in your skirt and your body completely defiled by the two. You almost woke up giddy the next morning, hearing the soft sounds of grease popping as you wrapped your blanket around your squishy body. Seeing Souya in gray pajama pants cooking you breakfast,

“Good morning, 𐙚! ‘Hoya went to buy you some birth control, just wait a few more minutes until the food ‘s done okay?”

You could almost giggle quietly at the new life you were venturing too, and you also got two new boyfriends out of it, aren’t you a lucky girl!

I hope you guys enjoyed my part two!!! I tried to make the story more pretty this time and made a few hashtags for my stories and future masterlist! ૮꒰˶ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ˶꒱ა

Nobody expected Nahoya Kawata, to be the first of the twins to yet married. Especially not to Mitsuya (Name). (Name) had been the popular pretty boy in Toman. Who anyone and everyone wanted but could never get due to his over protective twin.

It was kinda funny if everyone was honest. A twin marrying another twin. Many wondered what kind of kids they'd have. Most bet on twins or triplets. Since they both have twin genes but (Name) has so far only had 1 kid. To many (mostly Nahoya's) disappointment.

But one kid was enough for now since (Name) has an already busy schedule while he works with Draken and Inui's motor shop. That's right. (Name) was D&D's top Machanic. He worked on and designed bikes. The Mitsuya twins were always the more creative friends of their friend group.

~

(Name) tightened another bolt. Looking carefully at the bike once more before nodding happily. Another bike repaired! (Name) grabbed the rag off his personal tool box, and wiped the oil and grease off his hands. His (hair length) hair pulled back and out of his face.

He had been working on the bike most of the day. The owner had almost completely totalled it, but luckily (Name) worked his magic. Although he had to remake the whole engine which he knows will be expensive. (Name) sighed and looked at the clock.

9:43 pm.

He was supposed to be home an hour ago. But Draken wanted him to finish the bike he was working on. So he had to stay and finish. (Name) shook his head before starting to clean up the tools.

He wanted to get home and eat some delicious food made by his husband. See his 2 almost 3 year old son. Finally he wanted to cuddle with Nahoya and (Son's Name) until he fell asleep. He's been working so hard this week considering their sons birthday is next week.

(Son's Name) was the light of their lives. Although, (Name) had a surprise he hasn't told anyone. Well anyone other then Draken, since he was (Name)'s boss. (Name) had been feeling sick lately and according to the doctor, (Name) is pregnant...with Twins.

~

Nahoya yawned. Rubbing his eyes before checking the time. 10:28 pm. He checked the other side of the bed. Empty. Where was (Name)? Nahoya pulled the covers away and slowly got up. Making his way to the living room, Nahoya made sure (Son's Name) was still asleep.

As he entered the living room he noticed the light on. (Name) was nowhere to be seen. After checking the kitchen and the bathroom, Nahoya was getting worried. It wasn't like his wife to be late. (Name) hated being late. He reminded him of that almost everyday.

(Name) would always make sure he was up and out the door early. Since he and his twin Souya have to open their Ramen shop early. While he also brought (Son's Name) with him, due to (Name)'s job being too dangerous for the small boy. They'd always get home on time.

A stumbling noise brought Nahoya out of his thoughts. He turned in time to see (Name) almost fall over just trying to get his shoes off. Nahoya couldn’t help but to laugh. While his wife was beautiful and strong, he was probably the most clumsy person he knew.

(Name)'s head snapped up at the laugh. He smiled brightly at his husband. "I'm home 'hoya." Nahoya chuckled shaking his head before helping with the shoes. Once (Name)'s work shoes were off he gave his husband a passionate and strong kiss. Missing the male dearly.

When they pulled away (Name) knew the look on the others face. So he quickly made his way to the kitchen. Absolutely starving. Though as he left, his husband followed him like a lost puppy. (Name) quickly went to the fridge grabbing a bowl of Ramen and quickly reheated it.

Nahoya could practically see the drool coming from (Name). It made him curious, (Name) only was that hungry for Ramen when he was pregnant with their son. Ramen was the main food (Name) ate the whole pregnancy.

Nahoya watched with a soft smile as (Name) quickly ate the food. It was like he hadn't ate all day. Nahoya kissed his temple and gave him a small hug. (Name) hummed kissing Nahoya's cheek. Laying the dishes in the sink. To do in the morning.

(Name) hummed rubbing his stomach. Filled with his husbands famous and delicious Ramen. Now all (Name) needed was a showers and cuddles from (Son's Name) and Nahoya. So thats exactly what he'll do. (Name) took a quick shower. The warm water felt nice on his tired muscles.

Then he changed in his pajamas. One of Nahoya's shirts and his favorite fuzzy pajama pants. (Name) slowly crept in (Son's Name)'s room. Making his way to his sleeping angel. Who was snoring loudly causing (Name) to swear-drop.

He dealt with enough snoring from his darling partner. He didn't want to deal with that tonight. He was extremely tired and just wanted to go to sleep. So maybe cuddles an wait till tomorrow. (Name) kissed his sons forehead and quietly ran to his bedroom. Wanting to get a good nights rest.

~

Today was the day! (Son's Name)'s birthday. The day (Name) has been working hard for. Of course the party was at the Kawata's Ramen restaurant. Many orginal Toman members were present. (Name) couldn’t remember the last time he smiled so wide.

Everyone was having a blast. Draken and Inui was chasing (Son's Name). They were distracting him so they could finish setting everything up. Souya was making the food while Nahoya was setting up the tables. Takashi was working over at the present area.

Everyone else was catching up. (Name) smiled. Setting down the birthday cake. It felt nice having everyone together again. (Name) smiled softly. Without looking he slapped Mikey's hand away from the sweets. Grinning at his best friend.

"Mikey thats for everyone. You haven't even ate yet!" Mikey pouted. Grumbling abiut how he didn't want to eat Ramen, he just wanted to eat the sweets. (Name) sighed. Calling everyone over to eat. While placing a flag in Mikey's bowl.

Many laughing when Mikey's face lit up. As everyone as eating, (Name) looked around. Enjoying the moment very much. He missed this so much. It seems like yesterday when they were all kids. Fighting and driving bikes everyday. Not having to deal with the responsibilities they do now. Though, as he looked at (Son's Name) he couldn't help but smile bigger.

After singing happy birthday, and cuttng the cake it was now time for presents. (Son's Name) lighting up more and more after each one. He favorite so far was the model bike from Uncle Ken. It was a (bike name). The same bike (Name) rode when he was a teen. His second favorite was the outfit made by his Uncle Kashi.

(Name) waited for (Son's Name) to finish opening up the "last" present. Dead-panning at Kokonoi. Who was smiling widely. He had gifted (Son's Name) money. Which (Name) will be putting away for when he's older.

Nahoya's laughter filled the restaurant. But his laughter died short after seeing (Name) place a final present in front of (Son's Name). Confused since he wasn't informed of said gift. Everyone went silent waiting to see what the gift was.

(Son's Name) excitedly opened the gift but stopped when seeing the inside. He pulled out a shirt that said "Big Brother". He was confused since he didn't know he had a sibling. (Son's Name) looked at his dad questioning him about the shirt.

Everyone but (Name), Draken, and (Son's Name) was frozen. (Name) laughed loudly before removing the jacket he was wearing. Showing the shirt underneath. The shirt had four tiny feet prints. With "Twins Loading" written on the shirt. It took a matter of seconds for the slince was broken.

Nahoya immediately shot up. Eyes wide in disbelief. "Wait what?!" Everyone joined in. Questioning (Name) about the shirts. (Name) then pulled out a series of photos. "Its offical! I'm pregnant with twins!" He exclamated loudly. The group breaking out in cheers. Clapping Nahoya on the back congratulating the man on his newest editions.

(Son's Name) looked around confused. Until Inui explained what was going on, since both parents were surrounded by their friends. He was excited! He was gonna be a big brother! This was the best birthday ever! He couldn’t wait to meet them.

Part 2 sort of thing for my Bully/Canis Canem Edit x Battle Royale crossover: Assigned Weapons/Objects.

In the novel, Battle Royale, each student is assigned a duffel bag with a weapon/object in it along with a map, compass, a watch to track time, bottled water, and food. Most of the weapons are what you'd expect, like guns and knives, (Though guns aren't as common as bladed weapons.) but occasionally a student might get unlucky and end up with a joke item that might be utterly useless or have really only one use. Then there are the helpful items that aren't weapons, like a student who is given a tracking device that's wired to the explosive collars worn by everyone in the program and another who is given a bulletproof vest.

With that blurb out of the way, here's some of the weapons/objects that I'd think the students of Bullworth Academy (plus the Townies) would end up with.

Gonna just put a content warning for the mention of Guns, Murder, and Attempted suicide, so be aware of all that before reading any further. If I missed any other content warnings, let me know, and I'll update the post.

The Main Trio:

Jimmy Hopkins - A Toy Slingshot. (I'd thought it be funny and it's at least a little useful.)

Gary Smith - A Tracking device that pinpoints the locations of the collars the others wear.

Pete Kowalski - A Pink stuffed rabbit plushie. (Gary got a laugh out of that one.)

Prefects (They're technically students too, so):

Seth Kolbe - An Inflatable Toy Baton.

Karl Branting - A Police Baton.

Edward Seymour II - A Beretta U22 Neos pistol. (I figure Edward might be a former Preppie, and thus, he comes from one of the rich families of Bullworth. So, just like some of the other Preppies, he got a gun as well.)

Max McTavish - A Megaphone.

Non-Clique students:

Angie Ng - A Tazer.

Christy Martin - A MAC-11 Machine pistol chambered for 9x19mm Parabellum. (She was given Justin's bag by mistake.)

Constantinos Brakus - An 8ft length of Rope. (Contantinos considered using it on himself before spotting Algie trying to hurt Gloria. Instead, he ends up stealing Algie's weapon after saving Gloria.)

Eunice Pound - A Cleaver.

Gloria Jackson - A multi-tool.

Gordon Wakefield - A college text book.

Ivan Alexander - An antique camera with film.

Karen Johnson - A metal baseball bat.

Lance Jackson - A bag of nails.

Melody Adams - A butcher's knife.

Pedro De La Hoya - A fork.

Ray Hughes - A spoon.

Sheldon Thompson - A whistle.

Trevor Moore - A pair of safety scissors.

The Bullies:

Russell Northrop - None. (He dies before the program starts due to his attempt to remove the explosive collar around his neck by force.)

Davis White - A Pistol Crossbow.

Ethan Robinson - Throwing stars.

Tom Gurney - A bottle of Potassium Cyanide. (Tom gives the bottle to Trent when they finally meet up so he isn't tempted to injest it's contents.)

Trent Northwick - A Hunting knife.

Troy Miller - A standard Kitchen knife. (Taken by Wade.)

Wade Martin - A bullet-proof vest. (He tossed it away out of anger since he got mad it wasn't an actual weapon. Gary finds and picks it up, secretly wearing it under his button-up shirt and vest. Wade ends up taking Troy's kitchen knife since Russell's death caused Troy to go into shock, so he wasn't in the state of mind to use it anyway.)

Preps:

Darby Harrington - A scoped Browning BLR Rifle chambered for .243 Winchester cartridges. (Some of the Preppie's parents provided bribe money to get their kids better weapons than the rest of the students. Mr. Harrington was exceptionally generous. Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean the Preps would know how to use them weapons they were given...)

Bif Taylor - A Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun.

Tad Spencer - A stainless steel gardening fork. (It's resemblance to the pitchfork his father once stabbed him with, along with the implication that his father didn't care enough about him to bribe the government to get his own son a better weapon that would guarantee his survival, and combined with the stress of his situation causes Tad's mental state to deteriorate during the events of The Program.)

Pinky Gauthier - None. (Pinkie threw the duffel bag she was given away since she refused to participate in the Program.)

Gord Vendome - A semi-automatic AMT Backup chambered for .380 ACP cartridges.

Chad Morris - A Series ALFA Steel Revolver chambered for .22 LR. (Chad trades his revolver for Bryce's ice pick, claiming that he's not a very good shot, though it might've been done out of pity for Bryce's situation.)

Bryce Montrose - An ice pick. (Bryce's parents couldn't afford the bribe money to get him a better weapon. He ends up trading the pick for Chad's revolver, albiet reluctantly.)

Justin Vandervelde - A box of matches. (He was given Christy's bag by mistake. Ironically, he's one of the few Preppies who actually know how to fire a gun due to past experience, along with Parker.)

Parker Ogilvie - A .44 Auto Mag Pistol.

Greasers:

Johnny Vincent - A Bowie machete.

Lola Lombardi - An OTF (Out-The-Front) Switchblade.

Larry "Peanut" Romano - A Push dagger.

Hal Esposito - An antique Soufflé dish.

Lefty Mancini - A Side-folding Switchblade.

Lucky De Luca - A Boot knife.

Norton Williams - 4 lb Hand Sledgehammer.

Ricky Pucino - A Gerber Mark II Survival knife.

Vance Medici - A Straight Razor.

Nerds:

Earnest Jones - A Nail gun.

Algie Papadopoulos - A BC-41 Knuckle knife. (It gets stolen by Constantinos.)

Beatrice Trudeau - A scalpel.

Bucky Pasteur - A plastic toy dinosaur.

Cornelius Johnson - A walking cane.

Donald Anderson - A notebook.

Francois "Fatty" Johnson - A pair of brass knuckledusters.

Melvin O'Connor - A wooden club.

Thad Carlson - A yardstick.

Jocks:

Ted Thompson - A Football helmet.

Damon West - A Butter knife. (He tosses it away.)

Mandy Wiles - A small canister of Pepper spray.

Bo Jackson - A wooden baseball bat.

Casey Harris - A Maglite flashlight.

Dan Wilson - A bright red plastic toy baseball bat.

Juri Karamazov - A sickle.

Kirby Olsen - A Whip. (Needless to say, when Kirby pulled it out of his duffel, he was mortified.)

Luis Luna - A Fire axe.

Bob - A metal garbage can lid.

Townies (The gov just wanted them to get rid of them for being high school dropouts and figured putting them in the Program with the students of Bullworth would be killing two birds with one stone.):

Edgar Munsen - A 9mm Beretta M9 handgun. (He smuggled it in. How? Who knows?)

Zoe Taylor - Bear repellent spray.

Omar Romero - A Crowbar.

Clint "Henry" - A Handheld Mini electric Chainsaw.

Duncan - A pocket calculator.

Gurney - A bottle of lighter fluid.

Jerry - A lighter.

Leon - A wood saw.

Otto Tyler - An empty glass bottle.

Some of these I got stumped on and I may have put too many joke weapons, but eh.

Plant photo dump. Hoya Carnosa Tricolor is thriving with her color and new leaf. My Wayetti is doing okay as is the Australis Lisa, just not doing much. Crassula is still happy and growing tall. Oddly enough with it being in just that planter and not an actual good one with drainage, it's happy. I'm really curious as to what the root system looks like because when I originally put it in there, there wasn't much. I didn't expect anything to really happen with it but I'm happy it has. My Red Moon's leaf is showing my some good signs of color but it still has yet to unfurl, which is a reoccurring issue for her. The additional humidifier hasn't seemed to help. I'll probably keep a damp paper towel wrapped around it tomorrow like I had to last time. Props to my Alocasia BV just because. I already mentioned there is a new leaf on the way but she has come a long way. Alocasias do not acclimate well when I bring them home, or at least I haven't mastered it yet. I think I was down from 10 to 3 leaves in a very short time span. But the new leaves she has produced continue to increase in size and now quantity without losing another one (yet) like usual.

I have tomorrow off from work and although all I want to do is sleep, I'm finally going to set up my propagation tub. My last PROP LIST: White Princess, Silver Sword, and White Knight Philodendrons. My White Wizards leaf is a half moon! I want to wait as I've heard it's not best to prop right after that although I know others say that it is. And yes I'm waiting on my PPP. I'd like to have at least two leaves on it and with that second leaf having to be the mostly pink one, I don't think it's the best idea. I'm also doing my Syngonium Batik and Confetti, as well as the tail on my Amydrium Silver Spiderman. It's quite long without any new leaves and I'd like to see if I can make it do anything. And lastly the Moonshine Snake Plant.

Though these diverse beauties might not always be among the most viral plants online, hoya plants are charming climbing plants that come in hundreds of varieties and make lovely additions to any plant collection. Hoya plants come in all shapes, sizes, and colours, and they grow beautiful, fragrant flowers, so beware! Once you have one hoya plant, you’re likely going to need to make room for a whole lot more. The hoya plant, also called the wax plant or wax vine, is an evergreen perennial plant native to many countries in Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. In the warmer months, you might be lucky enough to see your hoya plant grow its famous pink or red star-shaped flowers that smell deliciously sweet. I love hoyas for their great variety. They can have thin or thick, succulent-like leaves, they can be round or pointy, variegated or un-variegated, trailing or shrub-like. There really is a hoya for everyone and every mood! This post will cover… Hindu rope hoya Popular Hoya Plant Varieties Not all hoyas are the same! Here are some of my favourite hoya varieties: Hoya carnosa rubra, aka “Krimson Princess”: This gorgeous variety of hoya has long pointed foliage with cream and sometimes pink variegation in the center. Their pretty, clustered flowers are commonly light pink or deep red. Plus, if you keep these hoyas outside, they are likely to attract hummingbirds and butterflies! Hoya compact, aka “Hindu Rope”: This hoya plant is known for its compact, curled leaves that form a rope-like shape as the plant grows to vine. You can find variegated and un-variegated varieties, available in a range of colourways. Hoya kerrii, aka “the Sweetheart Hoya”: This sweet hoya is known for its heart-shaped foliage, making it a perfect plant gift for any plant enthusiast you love! Hoya densifolia: If you’re looking for a hoya plant that doesn’t trail, the Hoya densifolia is a great variety to check out. They grow tall and straight and form pale yellow flowers in the warmer months. Whenever you notice this hoya start to tip over, you can prop it up with wooden stakes or small moss poles. Hoya Plant Care To have a happy and healthy hoya plant, there are a few things you will want to consider. Follow these tips, and you’ll have a thriving hoya! Location Hoya plants generally love bright, indirect light. If you have a south-facing window, your hoyas will love it, but they’ll also do well with east and north-facing windows as long as they aren’t in direct sunlight. I recommend not keeping your hoya plant right next to your window no matter its direction. They don’t like drafts (cold or hot) so be sure to keep them a small distance away from your windows, and definitely away from any heaters or air conditioners. Hoya kerrii Sun Bright, indirect light is the friend of the hoya, but some varieties can be a low light houseplant as well! As with any variegated plants, you’ll see less dramatic variegation if the plant is in lower light and more prominent colouring if it’s kept in a bright space. If you’re hoping to see your hoya plant bloom in the summer, keep it in a bright, warm room and give it some fertilizer! The right sunlight conditions will help promote your hoya to bloom. Water The hoya plant doesn’t mind drying out completely between waterings. In fact, they’ll thank you for it! When it is time to water, test the soil with your finger to see if it’s dry, then water thoroughly. Allow all of the excess water to drain completely out of the pot. Soil Hoya plants can be a little like succulents, they love a well-draining soil that won’t stay too wet. A rich soil blend of 60% potting soil and 40% cacti soil will make them the happiest! Another great thing about hoya plants is that they actually like to be quite snug in their pots. There’s no need to replant them the moment you see them fill out! They don’t mind being a little root-bound for a while. You can expect to repot these plants only every couple of years. Hoyas can handle being rootbound much better than other houseplants. Fertilizer These plants don’t need lots of fertilizer to thrive. In fact, you can fertilize them only once or twice a growing season (once at the beginning and once at the end), and they’ll be perfectly happy. If you’re hoping to nudge them in the direction of blooming in the summer, it’s not a bad idea to make sure you haven’t skipped your fertilization at the beginning of the season. This can help them sprout their pretty, clustered flowers. Common Issues A common problem with hoya plants is overwatering. If you’ve been too generous with the plant-showers, your hoya plant will yellow and start drooping. Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again and you should see the plant start to perk up! On the other hand, if you see your hoya plant go limp, it is likely thirsty! Give them a good drink and they should look better in no time. If your hoyas have been lucky enough to flower, the nectar from their fragrant flowers can sometimes attract pests. If you have a severe infestation, try one of these natural methods to keep those pesky bugs away. Hoyas will have slightly shrunken leaves when they need some water. Frequently Asked Questions About Hoya Plants How do you propagate hoya? Most varieties of hoya plants will propagate easily in water. To propagate, select a healthy vine with multiple leaves from your plant, and with a sharp, clean pair of shears or scissors cut the vine half a centimeter below a leaf node. On your original plant, you will see that the cut mark dies back, and a new vine will begin to grow from the node you left behind!Now, to make a fuller new plant, section this vine into multiple parts. Just as you cut the vine from the original plant, cut this vine half a centimeter above every leaf and leaf node until you have multiple little vines, each with at least one leaf.Put the cuttings all into a jar of water (making sure not to let any of the leaves sit underwater) and keep them in bright, indirect light. Change the water once a week and you should start to see roots form after a couple of weeks if you’re propagating in spring or summer. After you see roots appear, you can transport all of your cuttings into fresh soil in their own pot, and you’ve got a beautiful new hoya plant for your collection! Are hoya plants toxic to dogs? Good news, pet owners! Hoya plants are non-toxic to cats and dogs. Of course, for the sake of your plant, you don’t want any furry friends eating them up, but if some nibbling happens, you have nothing to worry about. Are you obsessed with hoyas as much as I am now?

Though these diverse beauties might not always be among the most viral plants online, hoya plants are charming climbing plants that come in hundreds of varieties and make lovely additions to any plant collection. Hoya plants come in all shapes, sizes, and colours, and they grow beautiful, fragrant flowers, so beware! Once you have one hoya plant, you’re likely going to need to make room for a whole lot more. The hoya plant, also called the wax plant or wax vine, is an evergreen perennial plant native to many countries in Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. In the warmer months, you might be lucky enough to see your hoya plant grow its famous pink or red star-shaped flowers that smell deliciously sweet. I love hoyas for their great variety. They can have thin or thick, succulent-like leaves, they can be round or pointy, variegated or un-variegated, trailing or shrub-like. There really is a hoya for everyone and every mood! This post will cover… Hindu rope hoya Popular Hoya Plant Varieties Not all hoyas are the same! Here are some of my favourite hoya varieties: Hoya carnosa rubra, aka “Krimson Princess”: This gorgeous variety of hoya has long pointed foliage with cream and sometimes pink variegation in the center. Their pretty, clustered flowers are commonly light pink or deep red. Plus, if you keep these hoyas outside, they are likely to attract hummingbirds and butterflies! Hoya compact, aka “Hindu Rope”: This hoya plant is known for its compact, curled leaves that form a rope-like shape as the plant grows to vine. You can find variegated and un-variegated varieties, available in a range of colourways. Hoya kerrii, aka “the Sweetheart Hoya”: This sweet hoya is known for its heart-shaped foliage, making it a perfect plant gift for any plant enthusiast you love! Hoya densifolia: If you’re looking for a hoya plant that doesn’t trail, the Hoya densifolia is a great variety to check out. They grow tall and straight and form pale yellow flowers in the warmer months. Whenever you notice this hoya start to tip over, you can prop it up with wooden stakes or small moss poles. Hoya Plant Care To have a happy and healthy hoya plant, there are a few things you will want to consider. Follow these tips, and you’ll have a thriving hoya! Location Hoya plants generally love bright, indirect light. If you have a south-facing window, your hoyas will love it, but they’ll also do well with east and north-facing windows as long as they aren’t in direct sunlight.

They don’t like drafts (cold or hot) so be sure to keep them a small distance away from your windows, and definitely away from any heaters or air conditioners. Hoya kerrii Sun Bright, indirect light is the friend of the hoya, but some varieties can be a low light houseplant as well! As with any variegated plants, you’ll see less dramatic variegation if the plant is in lower light and more prominent colouring if it’s kept in a bright space. If you’re hoping to see your hoya plant bloom in the summer, keep it in a bright, warm room and give it some fertilizer! The right sunlight conditions will help promote your hoya to bloom. Water The hoya plant doesn’t mind drying out completely between waterings. In fact, they’ll thank you for it! When it is time to water, test the soil with your finger to see if it’s dry, then water thoroughly. Allow all of the excess water to drain completely out of the pot. Soil Hoya plants can be a little like succulents, they love a well-draining soil that won’t stay too wet. A rich soil blend of 60% potting soil and 40% cacti soil will make them the happiest! Another great thing about hoya plants is that they actually like to be quite snug in their pots. There’s no need to replant them the moment you see them fill out! They don’t mind being a little root-bound for a while. You can expect to repot these plants only every couple of years. Hoyas can handle being rootbound much better than other houseplants. Fertilizer These plants don’t need lots of fertilizer to thrive. In fact, you can fertilize them only once or twice a growing season (once at the beginning and once at the end), and they’ll be perfectly happy. If you’re hoping to nudge them in the direction of blooming in the summer, it’s not a bad idea to make sure you haven’t skipped your fertilization at the beginning of the season. This can help them sprout their pretty, clustered flowers. Common Issues A common problem with hoya plants is overwatering. If you’ve been too generous with the plant-showers, your hoya plant will yellow and start drooping. Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again and you should see the plant start to perk up! On the other hand, if you see your hoya plant go limp, it is likely thirsty! Give them a good drink and they should look better in no time. If your hoyas have been lucky enough to flower, the nectar from their fragrant flowers can sometimes attract pests. If you have a severe infestation, try one of these natural methods to keep those pesky bugs away. Hoyas will have slightly shrunken leaves when they need some water. Frequently Asked Questions About Hoya Plants How do you propagate hoya? Most varieties of hoya plants will propagate easily in water. To propagate, select a healthy vine with multiple leaves from your plant, and with a sharp, clean pair of shears or scissors cut the vine half a centimeter below a leaf node. On your original plant, you will see that the cut mark dies back, and a new vine will begin to grow from the node you left behind!Now, to make a fuller new plant, section this vine into multiple parts. Just as you cut the vine from the original plant, cut this vine half a centimeter above every leaf and leaf node until you have multiple little vines, each with at least one leaf.Put the cuttings all into a jar of water (making sure not to let any of the leaves sit underwater) and keep them in bright, indirect light. Change the water once a week and you should start to see roots form after a couple of weeks if you’re propagating in spring or summer. After you see roots appear, you can transport all of your cuttings into fresh soil in their own pot, and you’ve got a beautiful new hoya plant for your collection! Are hoya plants toxic to dogs? Good news, pet owners! Hoya plants are non-toxic to cats and dogs. Of course, for the sake of your plant, you don’t want any furry friends eating them up, but if some nibbling happens, you have nothing to worry about. Are you obsessed with hoyas as much as I am now?

Though these diverse beauties might not always be among the most viral plants online, hoya plants are charming climbing plants that come in hundreds of varieties and make lovely additions to any plant collection. Hoya plants come in all shapes, sizes, and colours, and they grow beautiful, fragrant flowers, so beware! Once you have one hoya plant, you’re likely going to need to make room for a whole lot more. The hoya plant, also called the wax plant or wax vine, is an evergreen perennial plant native to many countries in Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. In the warmer months, you might be lucky enough to see your hoya plant grow its famous pink or red star-shaped flowers that smell deliciously sweet. I love hoyas for their great variety. They can have thin or thick, succulent-like leaves, they can be round or pointy, variegated or un-variegated, trailing or shrub-like. There really is a hoya for everyone and every mood! This post will cover… Hindu rope hoya Popular Hoya Plant Varieties Not all hoyas are the same! Here are some of my favourite hoya varieties: Hoya carnosa rubra, aka “Krimson Princess”: This gorgeous variety of hoya has long pointed foliage with cream and sometimes pink variegation in the center. Their pretty, clustered flowers are commonly light pink or deep red. Plus, if you keep these hoyas outside, they are likely to attract hummingbirds and butterflies! Hoya compact, aka “Hindu Rope”: This hoya plant is known for its compact, curled leaves that form a rope-like shape as the plant grows to vine. You can find variegated and un-variegated varieties, available in a range of colourways. Hoya kerrii, aka “the Sweetheart Hoya”: This sweet hoya is known for its heart-shaped foliage, making it a perfect plant gift for any plant enthusiast you love! Hoya densifolia: If you’re looking for a hoya plant that doesn’t trail, the Hoya densifolia is a great variety to check out. They grow tall and straight and form pale yellow flowers in the warmer months. Whenever you notice this hoya start to tip over, you can prop it up with wooden stakes or small moss poles.

If you have a south-facing window, your hoyas will love it, but they’ll also do well with east and north-facing windows as long as they aren’t in direct sunlight. I recommend not keeping your hoya plant right next to your window no matter its direction. They don’t like drafts (cold or hot) so be sure to keep them a small distance away from your windows, and definitely away from any heaters or air conditioners. Hoya kerrii Sun Bright, indirect light is the friend of the hoya, but some varieties can be a low light houseplant as well! As with any variegated plants, you’ll see less dramatic variegation if the plant is in lower light and more prominent colouring if it’s kept in a bright space. If you’re hoping to see your hoya plant bloom in the summer, keep it in a bright, warm room and give it some fertilizer! The right sunlight conditions will help promote your hoya to bloom. Water The hoya plant doesn’t mind drying out completely between waterings. In fact, they’ll thank you for it! When it is time to water, test the soil with your finger to see if it’s dry, then water thoroughly. Allow all of the excess water to drain completely out of the pot. Soil Hoya plants can be a little like succulents, they love a well-draining soil that won’t stay too wet. A rich soil blend of 60% potting soil and 40% cacti soil will make them the happiest! Another great thing about hoya plants is that they actually like to be quite snug in their pots. There’s no need to replant them the moment you see them fill out! They don’t mind being a little root-bound for a while. You can expect to repot these plants only every couple of years. Hoyas can handle being rootbound much better than other houseplants. Fertilizer These plants don’t need lots of fertilizer to thrive. In fact, you can fertilize them only once or twice a growing season (once at the beginning and once at the end), and they’ll be perfectly happy. If you’re hoping to nudge them in the direction of blooming in the summer, it’s not a bad idea to make sure you haven’t skipped your fertilization at the beginning of the season. This can help them sprout their pretty, clustered flowers. Common Issues A common problem with hoya plants is overwatering. If you’ve been too generous with the plant-showers, your hoya plant will yellow and start drooping. Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again and you should see the plant start to perk up! On the other hand, if you see your hoya plant go limp, it is likely thirsty! Give them a good drink and they should look better in no time. If your hoyas have been lucky enough to flower, the nectar from their fragrant flowers can sometimes attract pests. If you have a severe infestation, try one of these natural methods to keep those pesky bugs away. Hoyas will have slightly shrunken leaves when they need some water. Frequently Asked Questions About Hoya Plants How do you propagate hoya? Most varieties of hoya plants will propagate easily in water. To propagate, select a healthy vine with multiple leaves from your plant, and with a sharp, clean pair of shears or scissors cut the vine half a centimeter below a leaf node. On your original plant, you will see that the cut mark dies back, and a new vine will begin to grow from the node you left behind!Now, to make a fuller new plant, section this vine into multiple parts. Just as you cut the vine from the original plant, cut this vine half a centimeter above every leaf and leaf node until you have multiple little vines, each with at least one leaf.Put the cuttings all into a jar of water (making sure not to let any of the leaves sit underwater) and keep them in bright, indirect light. Change the water once a week and you should start to see roots form after a couple of weeks if you’re propagating in spring or summer. After you see roots appear, you can transport all of your cuttings into fresh soil in their own pot, and you’ve got a beautiful new hoya plant for your collection! Are hoya plants toxic to dogs? Good news, pet owners! Hoya plants are non-toxic to cats and dogs. Of course, for the sake of your plant, you don’t want any furry friends eating them up, but if some nibbling happens, you have nothing to worry about. Are you obsessed with hoyas as much as I am now? I hope you add one of these beauties to your houseplant collection. More Tips for Growing Houseplants A city girl who learned to garden and it changed everything. Author, artist, Master Gardener.
