    Hoyas are beautiful plants and there are several varieties.

    These beauties seem to always bloom from the same place..I think they are called spurs. Smell the flowers~they have a sweet scent. The nectar just drips off of the blooms!

    I have a large Hoya that I was sure was history this winter....(it was outside and Texas weather went from sun to ice )needless to say my Hoya was covered with ice. Once it melted I brought it in the house and watched the leaves fall off. She is in a large pot so the top leaves froze but the ones underneath were fine.

    My plant is outside and happy again! I did cut her back and kinda tidy her up and now I have cuttings. Would you believe they put on roots in 1 week! Can hardly wait to get them potted up!

    These are great plants & really easy to grow,
