Saw a fully grown and GORGEOUSLY flowering hoya compacta at the plant nursery today 😍😍

Unfortunately it was also $200, so well beyond my celebratory houseplant splurge budget 😵‍💫

#hoya hangout #hoya compacta #i would have absolutely bought it if I could have justified it but with everything going on $200 is a wild amount to spend on a houseplant #no matter how beautiful it was and how much I waaaaant it #houseplants

Saturday a pharmacist and I were talking plants, and I mentioned how I've gotten obsessed with hoyas recently, and that when I bought a clipping on etsy they sent me a second free mystery clipping that I thought might be a krohniana, and the other pharmacist, one of our floats that I really like, was like "Oh, are we talking hoyas? I have a krohniana super silver, I can bring you a clipping." Obviously said yes please, and we all keep talking plants, and she mentions that she has 20 hoya, and I'm super jealous, etc etc

She comes in the next day with not just a clipping but an entire BAG of clippings, enough for everyone and !!!!

I'm going to try rooting some of them in water and some of them in a hoya mix, so we'll see how they go. My favorite is the polyneura, it's so much cooler in person than the photos I'd seen :3c

#kite rambles #i need more pots #I'm so excited but also if they all root and work out i am going to have so many. so many plants.#if I had expected THIS many i wouldn't have given away the little tiny bonsai pot i got at an estate sale for 3$#had it for YEARS and never had anything small enough for it but NOW #hoyas #let's see there are:#hoya retusa #hoya mathilde #hoya curtisii #hoya compacta #hoya krohniana #hoya polyneura

It’s true that the houseplant collection has been doing a lot of heavy lifting in terms of keeping me floating through all this mess. It’s also true that some have not been doing great (looking at you, mealybugs on succulents). At least my cacti don’t seem affected (yet?)

Victories lie in both jewel orchids doing quite well (both the macodes petola and the ludisia discolor, which I didn’t get a photo of to fit in here) as well as the first monstera Thai constellation leaf in my care (the cutting was a generous gift from a friend). Also the Hoya collection is growing, and the oldest plants in my collection are doing great, including the likely 10 year old Hoya compacta in the 6th photo. I remember when I bought her in 2013 for maaaaaybe $20? Damn, Hoya prices have SKYROCKETED these last two or so years. Anyway I think I’ve really latched onto hoyas as MY plants: I’ve never killed one and I’m finding success with each new one I bring in. Also THE BLOOMS.

Frank, my 8+ year old monstera, got a much needed pruning. Hopefully his pruned vines will propagate successfully and be a new plant for a friend.

Also someone stop the ficus elasticas: they are getting TOO POWERFUL. Last photo shows staghorn the third, who should have a name by now, after 3 months and 5+ new fronds. Maybe it’ll earn a name if it ever grows a basal/shield frond…

I should make a post with just my hoyas: sorry, not sorry.
