Two different Hoyas?

Hi all! So my Hoya journey started with buying a tiny pot from a nursery that had 2 cuttings and a price label. Since then, it’s been growth galore!

My question now that it’s getting bigger: is there any chance I have 2 kinds of Hoya in this pot?

The taller one definitely looks like Hoya Australis, but the shorter one is showing some heart shapes in its leaves. Again, they are separate cuttings in the same pot.

I know shapes can be wonky sometimes, but the differences are starting to make me wonder if I need to change the names from β€œHeeler” to β€œBandit & Chilli” 😁 thanks in advance for any thoughts!

The new growth leaf looks the same on them, so I think same Australis. Sometimes they grow wonky leaves with inconsistent watering.
@Alinaa Right, great point - this is the first time I have growths on both cuttings and they definitely look the same
You’ll be able to tell more as it matures. Right now they look πŸ‘€ the same.
I was going to say the same as @Alinaa. Since the new growth looks the same I would say it’s the same plant. Great find and enjoy your new Hoyas! Be careful, Hoyas become very addicting!
My Hoya australis Lisa reverted, she's now just an australis, beautiful just the same but no longer any variegation!
