Fave fertilizer for Hoya?

Have a fave fertilizer you’ve seen a noticeable difference with? Did it help with blooming? speed of growth? Any rec’s appreciated! #Hoya #HoyaHangout #HoyaHeads

I only have one Hoya so I’m not the one to ask but I do have a chihuahua named Maggie. So we have a lot in common.

A lot of people use orchid fertilizer for Hoya. I use super thrive bloom. Haven’t noticed a speed in growing or blooming because I’ve always used that kind. But I think I’m going to switch to tezula msu fertilizer as I’ve heard a lot of good info on that one.

@PricklyThumb thank you!!! I just recently bought an orchid spray foliar feed. haven’t noticed a difference yet. I also am using super thrive. But I’m looking to switch things up. Thanks for the scoop!

@Amghou I have the UG foliar spray as well. My plants don’t hate it! 🤪 and I did get my first blooms ever on a Hoya with in a couple@months of buying the spray and using it every other week or so. But it could just be coincidence. The Hoya that peduncled is my krohniana black, and apparently they are “prolific bloomers” as someone here on Greg told me, and I soon came the agree. That Hoya has been blooming for over a month and it just keeps getting more blooms and it not even that big! lol I should add that I also started watering my plants with my fish tank water. So they probably get a lot of nutrients from that as well. But your compacta is a show stopper. It’s so green! I love it. 😻

@Amghou I use a fertilizer higher in Phosphorus to produce blooms. It's kept mine from blasting. I use Medina Hasta Gro. It's made here in Texas so it should be easy for you to find.

@Amghou my Hoya is def smaller than yours, but I just washed every leaf with coconut oil and water 4to1. She seemed really happy with that. She looks so pretty now 🤩
