Just wanted to contribute showing my flowering Hoya Bella.

I had it for three years and every year gives more flowers at a time and flowering period is longer. It has been with flowers at least the last six months and now its opening eight at the same time โค๏ธ Def my favourite plant ๐Ÿซถ

Another hoya bella pic

And as a bonus, also share my hoya kerrii picture. This one was not a single heart when I bought it, but I'd say it has doubled the size in a year ๐ŸŒฟ Bonus big hoya kerrii picture

Beautiful! I have three Hoyas, only acquired in the last couple of years, one of them threw out one little head of flowers a couple of weeks ago. I'm hoping as they mature they flower more.

Probably you know this already, but once yours is done flowering, don't cut the peduncle as it'll use it to flower again multiple times ๐Ÿ˜„

No, I didn't know that, so thanks! I didn't know it was called a peduncle either so double thanks!

Also, not sure what kind of hoya you have, but at least this one wants a bit more watering when flowering. Like, if your moreless water yours every 5 days, do it every 4 so it grows the flower better

Cool, thanks. The one that flowered is a green one, that's all I know ๐Ÿ˜†
