Hoya limoniaca



One of my favorite Hoyas, a very fast grower, and it was quick to bloom.  I grow this one two ways.  The original plant is in coir right now, but when it is due to be repotted, it will be moved to a Turface/Perlite mixture.  The other way is in S/H.  The semi-hydro plant is also allowed to hang naturally instead of being wound around a trellis.  Both bloom often in the summer.


These plants both receive a lot of sun, warm conditions, and the one to the left is kept evenly moist while actively growing, and allowed to dry slightly in winter.


By a lot of sun, it is receiving direct sun from a little after sunrise, until about 2pm during the summer.  Unfortunately in winter, I cannot give it that level of light, which is why I reduce watering somewhat.
