Omg my first peduncle! Iβm so proud of my Hoya Fungii! #HoyaHangout #NewGrowth #HappyPlants

@HoyaAddict congratulations π. Woohoo π I use this statement too. Happy growing πππ±π±
@HoyaAddict absolutely π₯°π₯°ππ
@strawberrymoon Definitely! I will be flooding you all with pics too π
I thought my pubicalyx would give me a peduncle first, itβs growing like crazy! I hope i donβt have to wait too long for the first bloom!
@HoyaAddict man i love hoya flowers!! theyβre some of the cutest imo, especially bc of that rounded star shape <3 i missed a kerrii splash listing and iβm so mad lol
@strawberrymoon I know right! Theyβre so cute and beautiful and smell divine! Oh no thatβs so sad! If I ever get one I will post you a cutting! I would love a multiflora, those shooting star flowers are out of this world π
@HoyaAddict thatβs so sweet of you !!! unfortunately iβm like in a whole other continent π₯² i appreciate the thought a lot though ππ and yeah those are so unique, they look almost like some sort of sea creature!! iβm a sucker for cute round things so my other fave is the rotundiflora (and the leaves are such a cute rectangle shape, like biscuits)
@strawberrymoon Aww thatβs a shame π₯Ή maybe I send you it anyway π€£ though youβll probably get one before me! I see the sea creature! Pretty squid π¦. Ooo rotundiflira and the button ones are so cute π man I could talk hoyas for hours
@HoyaAddict you donβt have to!! i know it takes a lot to ship plants, like the phytosanitary cert and everything is a hassle π and i get you!! my first plant was actually one of those little hoya kerrii leaves (no node obviously π my 6 year old brain thought it would just become bigger and bigger as a heart shape lmao), i loved her a lot and i called her haruko :) unfortunately she died bc she was just a leaf + me and my family didnβt know how to care for her but she really helped my interests in plants grow <3 iβm 16 now and know better, but i still love kerriis :D
@strawberrymoon Thatβs awesome! So cool that it was a Kerri heart that got your plant love going β€οΈ. I left the uk and moved to Australia 4 years ago (I married an Ozzie) I had to leave all my plants behind π so I have finally started to build a new collection. I have never had a Hoya before, my first was this Pubicalyx (noid). It grew so quickly and my interest grew from there, now I feel obsessed and want to collect them all like PokΓ©mon π€£
@HoyaAddict i went to australia once!! it was Sydney iirc, and the baobabs fascinated me so much- one of my fave trees to this day! and itβs so cool that your first hoya is still alive and kicking :) iβm a βpokemon trainerβ too but for haworthias and gasterias haha
@strawberrymoon Thatβs so cool! Iβm living in Victoria (10b) not as warm as Sydney π
but much better than the uk! Baobabs are so amazing! I love the gum trees here too, so wild looking. Oooo I only have one Haworthia superfasciata (donβt think itβs super happy with me haha) theyβre a super cool niche! I have lots of succulents (I should really put them in Greg, theyβre outside eek) Gasteria are so cute, especially when they look like flip books haha. Your collection is amazing! You may have me hooked now haha
@BuyAPlant Thank you π·π±
@HoyaAddict ah iβm from zone 10a!!! weβre zone neighbors :D in japan we donβt have those strange funky looking trees but we do have some nice flowering ones, like wisteria or cherry blossom ^^ and yesss join the dark side (the succulent side) >:) gasterias are pretty easy!! just put them wherever you have your haworthias and aloes and theyβll be happy lol. the chonky book shape is why i fell in love with them, i have one exception which is a little warty- that one grows in a rosette/spiral shape :)
@strawberrymoon Japan is the first place I want to travel to with my husband! Such an amazing place, beautiful people, countryside, cities, culture and food! I love Sakura π theyβre so romantic. My garden is mainly filled with tropical trees.
I will try and add my succulents to Greg when Iβm next off work. I still have a few unidentified babies π€£ no gasteria yet though! If I see one when Iβm shopping I will grab one βΊοΈ

@HoyaAddict youβre super welcome to come visit!! <3 i miss australia too haha, and all the cool birds there! did not appreciate the cockatoo screaming at 6am but he was cute so i forgive him π₯² sakuras are lovely!! my fave variety is the shidare-zakura (the one thatβs like willow shaped, with white flowers). i love the eucalyptus you guys have tho! especially the one with round heart shaped leaves- eucalyptus have such a cute leaf color!! my grandma has a bunch of mystery trees in her garden haha, no idea what any of them are. sheβs a flower person and she especially likes margarets :) your sucs are lovely!! the yucca looks so happy <3
@strawberrymoon That would be so cool! If you ever end up here again let me know π
Haha the birds here can be insane, they love to walk all over my roof at 6am π€£ clatter clatter feet. Aww I bet your grandma is awesome! My mum is the same, LOVES flowers. When I was little every summer she would create the largest hanging baskets Iβve ever seen. Stuffed with tonnes of flowers and colours. Like lobelia and violas. Probably the start of my plant love π±
Would you believe I found that yucca just thrown out with its roots all bare on the ground π it was so thirsty. I found it walking my dog, it was quite stabby getting it home haha. β€οΈ

@HoyaAddict i have relatives in Melbourne so i might come over once covid gets better!! one of my fave Australian birds is the kookaburra, they look so cute and fluffy :) and yes she is!! she knows more native plants than i could ever hope to remember the names of, she can even identify random weeds in the mountain lol. she mostly leaves her plants alone, sheβs got like a very intense gardening day once a month but otherwise theyβre just left to their own devices and they still look so pretty!
where can i find free yuccas ππ iβm not usually fond of rehabbing plants (i have like 0 space and i donβt want anything to spread to my current plants) but if theyβre gonna end up looking as happy as that guy i might consider!! also can i see your doggo :)

@strawberrymoon Thatβs awesome! Iβm a few hours away from Melbourne! We could definitely meet up βΊοΈ maybe go to a botanical garden or something! Kookaburras are gorgeous! I often get a flock of yellow crested cockatiel and these beautiful grey pink birds called Galah. I added my π Toyger Arya, Domestic Tabby Jiraiya, Border Heller Tiabeanie and some Galah in my garden.
@strawberrymoon Oops posted early haha. I think you Grandma was right about not touching plants! I watched a video the other day on plants who are touched a lot grow 30% less! π₯Ή it hurts because I love to stroke my plants haha.
I hope you can get a free plant soon! Itβs so rewarding saving a green life

@HoyaAddict iβd love to meet up sometime, i bet australia has some super cool specimens in botanical gardens/conservatories π and I LOVE GALAHS!!! in japan we call them momoiro-inko which translates to peach colored parrot :) theyβre so so cute- so are your pets !!! your tabby looks like the kind of cat that iβd love to give scritches to, and your toyger is so pretty!! theyβre like.. amber colored, literally glowing in that sunlight!! and your dog has such a lovely smile haha, absolutely giving out tons of good boy/girl vibes!! man i really want a pet haha, sadly i donβt have the funds for one rn (vet bills and vaccinations and stuff are so expensive) and my grandparents donβt like animals- so i get my dose of fluffiness by playing with my friendβs dogs and petting/feeding stray cats when iβm free :)
@HoyaAddict oh nooo not me petting my fluffy kalanchoe every single day π€§ probably why she isnβt growing much lol, also i like to clean my plants once in a while bc my room gets dusty π«’
@strawberrymoon Yay Iβm looking forward to it! I havenβt been to any gardens/aquarium/zoo yet, I agree that the variety here will be crazy and nothing like the rest of the world. Looking at you marsupials π Aww I love the Japanese name for Galahs! Iβll call them momoβs now hehe. My babies thank you for the praise! My husband always wanted a tiger but the best I could get him was a Toyger π
sheβs so beautiful, her coat astounds me! I am the dog lover and fell in love when I first saw her. I waited a long time for all my pets, Iβm 39 now and all Iβm missing from my dream pets is a snake and a lizard Iβm sorry you have to wait for get the pets you want, but the waiting makes it even better when you finally do get it. I added pics of when they were tiny π₯°
Argh Kalanchie are so fuzzy! I love them π I like to stroke my Micans too much haha.

@HoyaAddict always !! π
@HoyaAddict marsupials!!!! my favorite is the wombat <3 chonky little dudes lol, theyβre so cute! and yess dogs are awesome, at one point in my life the fluffy keeshond mix at a dog cafe was the only thing keeping me alive haha. theyβre so unconditionally loving- i swear doggos care more about me than most people i know irl lol! btw thatβs so cool, i love reptiles too!!! i always loved ball pythons bc of their :3 face, i got to pet one once and it was magical <3 i canβt wait to have a pet once iβm working :) btw itβs so cute that your doggo sleeps with a plushie and blanket π₯Ή
