Thanks @ZanyTanekaha, @AwesomePlants, and @LuxuryMint! I thought it would smell a bit stronger, but it reminds me a bit of floral and jasmine! It’s very nice.
Thanks everyone! @PlantznBirdz @FabRubbercup @AlaskaDogMom @Sassylimey @FirstCanna @Propa @DapperPineapple
@FirstCanna it’s very nice, kind of floral and jasmine mixed together!

@Some_rando That depends a lot on the type of Hoya! The ones you commonly see at stores with the bigger thick leaves and thick stems are pretty resilient to abuse, but there are tons of different types that can become very finicky but that’s getting into speciality and rare collecting. Making them thrive and bloom is a bit more work.
If you want to get into Hoyas, I recommend finding a healthy plant to start. There’s been a bit of an outbreak of microscopic mites that damage Hoyas, so I’d recommend looking for one with active growth at the ends of the vines/tendrils. You definitely want to avoid any plants with scarring on the leaves or strange looking knobby growth on the nodes as they won’t grow and you’ll have to treat the mites.
