Hoya cv. Christine

 

 


I got this hoya from Hawaii in the middle of April 2005. It was a nice size cutting or rather a little plant. It arrived in a package together with 9 of her buddies...

 

I didn't want to cut the five nodes up so I planted the whole cutting alone. After about one month I noticed tiny buds on the peduncle right above the soil. They soon developed into cute very fragrant flowers. I had been told it was an easy bloomer, but the lady didn't say THAT easy!

 

 It's now almost two years since I got it and it's grown about 5 cm (2 inches). There are five new leaves and most of them are quite larger than the ones the plant came with... It seems like a slow grower, but time will tell if it's true or if this is a hoya that grows fast in spurts... My plant kept tilting over so I've cut it in half and potted one on each side of a medium sized support. I'm guessing it'll take a while before both cuttings reach the top!
