#Hoya memoria gracilis

[poop-me-a-flower]

Hoya memoria gracilis flowered! It smells … pretty bad tbh. Like butterscotch, but if it was unpleasant.

Still, I’m excited to see these all open. It’s the plant’s first successful flowering!

Our Happy & Healthy Guaranteeįrond & Folia guarantees that the plant you receive will arrive in happy and healthy condition, and we take extreme care in packaging and shipping to ensure this. Moving a blooming Hoya can cause the bloom to wither and fall off. If you are lucky enough to find your Hoya blooming indoors, take care not to disturb the plant or move its location. Each flower is up to 0.4 inch (1 cm) across and form groups of blooms which are up to 4 inches (10 cm). Hoya are known for their beautiful flowers, which are said to look as if they were crafted from porcelain or wax. The leaves are narrow and have more or less silver flecks. Moving a Hoya to a larger pot should only be considered if the plants roots are nearly filling the pot. Because Hoya are epiphytic in nature, they generally do not possess an excessive root system. Hoya prefer to be pot bound, and will not enjoy being placed in a pot which is much too large for their roots. Hoya love humidity, and moderate to high humidity is preferred. Most Hoya can withstand night time temperatures of 50 degrees during the winter. Hoya prefer room temperatures between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Amending a standard potting soil with perlite, orchid bark, and/or lava rock will help provide the drainage this plant needs. As an epiphytic plant in nature, Hoya will require an extremely well-draining soil. Thinner leaved varieties such as Hoya Australis, Retusa, or Linearis will prefer to be watered a bit more often, since they store less moisture in their leaves. Hoya should be allowed to dry out between waterings, perhaps by about 75%. Because of this, their water needs are considered moderately low. The majority of Hoya are semi succulent in nature, possessing thicker stems and leaves, hence the name “wax plant”. Low light should be avoided for all varieties of Hoya. Variegated varieties such as Tricolor and Krimson Princess require higher exposures to support variegation and proper photosynthesis. Green, non variegated Hoya can tolerate a bit lower exposure, and a medium range exposure may be sufficient. Avoid direct sun, which can burn these plants leaves. Details: - Rooted plant in 4 pot - The actual plant you will get might be slightly different than the one shown in pictures, but same size/amount of leafs.19. Hoya thrive in very bright, indirect or filtered light. Most Hoya found in nature are epiphytic, meaning they grow off of other plants or trees rather sending their roots into the soil. Hoya are found in the wild in Australia, Asia, and the Pacific Islands.

i get to pick up plant mail today - hoya curtisii, h. gracilis memoria, and scindapsus pictus silvery anne 🥰

Ooooh I have recommendations for this!! Because honestly, same.

Good hoya species that stand a chance of not being gangly obnoxious monsters (when trellised) are mostly the small leafed varieties. Small leafed hoya tend to have flexible stems that trellis easily regardless of whether or not they are climbers. I’ll put some recommendations under the cut. Keep in mind that these are limited to species/varieties I’ve kept myself unless otherwise noted:

‘Mathilde��

‘Chuoke’ (most likely- mine is still small)

curtisii

heushkeliana

engleriana ‘Vietnam’ (I’m letting mine grow pendant, but it could be trellised well)

memoria/gracilis

Any khroniana cultivar

Serpens, if you can keep it happy

Retusa- underrated imo.

Rosita - I don’t have this one yet but I think it would work

Rotundiflora - my job has these and they have flexible stems

Wayetii

Endauensis - this one I’ve heard is finicky

Kanyakumariana

If you have very limited space, I would AVOID:

Generally, anything with big leaves. Big leaves mean rigid stems and long runners. You can keep these small with effort but the plant will fight you. For example:

Any latifolia, Sarawak, or macrophylla cultivars

Publicalyx. It has flexible stems, but will want to get huge eventually and all of my varieties are constantly shooting out 3ft runners. It could be trimmed and trellised but I would pick something else unless you’ll have space in the future to let it do what it wants.

Imperialis (not as woody but wants to be huge)

Any carnosa cultivars with the possible exception of ‘compacta’ varieties (which are typically relatively slow growing but will eventually need space as they’re difficult to trellis). Note that I think at least one carnosa cultivar would be great for anyone who likes hoya because they tend to bloom readily and are very rewarding to grow. The sacrifice of space and ease of growing is worth it imo.

Callistophylla

Obovata

Tanggamus - work got these and they are woody af.

There’s more, but you get the idea. I’m also sure there’s exceptions, but this should be a start!

Hoya Mathilde “splash” is a delightful little plant. I strongly recommend it for growers with limited space. It can easily be trellised to grow relatively compactly - for a hoya at least. My bigger, less splashy plant has bloomed for me quite well, probably thanks to the carnosa parentage.

I recently got Hoya ‘Chouke’, a sibling from the cross that produced ‘Mathilde’. I’m very excited to grow it out. I’ll post a comparison between the two later.

New growth on Hoya memoria (gracilis)! I’m glad it’s settling in.
