A succulent hoya perfect for the beginner. It prefers to be kept on the dry side and can be grown in full sunlight. |
A succulent plant with a very compact, creeping growth. It flowers readily, often already as a cutting. I strongly believe this is some other species than Hoya pachyclada. |

Hoya pachyclada x This is a nice cultivar with beatiful foliage. It is easy to grow. Unfortunately I don't know much about it. |
The black spots on the leaves are typical for this species.

A cold growing species which originates from China and Thailand. The colour of the flowers varies from yellow to orange. |
A fast growing plant with minute, light green flowers. The flowers turn pink when they wither. |

It took me three years to get this species in bloom for the first time, but it was worth the wait. The large, crystal white flowers have a very nice, fresh scent. |
I have got two clones of Hoya paxtonii. This one has slightly shorter and narrow leaves than the other. |

A shrubby plant which reminds very much of Hoya cembrae. |

An easy hoya to grow. The flowers have a nice spicy scent, but you have to put your nose really close to feel it. |
Hoya polyneura (silver leaves) A shrubby hoya which is best grown in a hanging basket. It is easy to grow, but requires cooler nights to promote flowering. |

|
The flowers are among the more colourful ones. It needs more water and nutrition than the average hoya. |
This is a rare clone of Hoya praetorii. It differs from the other one in having much longer leaves with no silver. The corona is slightly different as well. Between the two, this is my favourite. |

A small hoya with minute, yellow flowers. As long as you don't put it in draught it's pretty easy to grow. |
Still a small plant in my collection. |

I have had this hoya for some years and the plant is now enormous. I've never had it in bloom so I placed it in my cooler garden room in early 2007. |
Hoya pubicalyx New growth on this one is wine-red. |
