Succulent and hoya ID Hi everyone. I was in the garden center yesterday to pick up perlite and when I emerged, somehow I found those in my bag. 🤔 If you happen to know the idea of any one of those three, I would be thankful for your help. Also, as someone who never had any succulents any advice about care would be appreciated as well. #plantaddict #succulentsquad #hoya #plantID

I wasn’t expecting this one to bloom this year! It shot out some peduncles last year but they weren’t looking amazing and I got a nice surprise! I love the little fuzzies on the flowers 🥰 #Hoya #HoyaHeads #PlantAddict #FloweringPlants #HappyPlants

does this hoya have another chance at life? Hiya. I got this hoya callistophylla around three weeks ago, repotted it, and watered it about a week ago, which would be around two weeks since its last watering at the shop I got it from. It’s lost two leaves and the third looks like it’s on its way out, I can only assume due to a drastic change in environment, i.e. temperature and humidity. Anyways, my question is, does it seem that this hoya still has a chance to grow back? It’s got a large cluster of nodes (pictured) and I wonder if with proper watering it could come back. Tia! #StruggleBus #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Hoya #PlantGraveyard (maybe lol)

#hoya #ID 🪴🤭 Anyone who knows what this girl is and can help with an ID? 🪴🌿 I have seached around, but I can't seem to decide on what it really is 😅 #hoyahangout #hoyaheads #hoyaaddicts #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy

It’s been a bit since I posted but, just wanted to share a new #hoya bloom! This one has been a real challenge for me, so many of them blasted, but I finally got a few to open up. I think Hoya elliptica likes a cooler environment, which I can’t really give it so, so it’s a reward this one finally made it all the way to opening! #HoyaHangout #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #HappyPlants

Went to upgrade her pot and what do I find? 😳😮 #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #hoyaheads #hoya #hoyahangout

They arrived in perfect condition. My heart just 💕 swelled with joy. I posted his Etsy shop above. The blooming (smells like heaven) #sansevieriablackcoral has sooo many new babies and the pot is about to bust open from the new growth. #happywifehappylife
