New hoyas from Vietnam

18 years ago

Hello everyone...

I'd like to share with you how people in Vietnam mix-plant hoyas for visual interest. I've got this hoya Kerrii from the vendor last Monday. I don't know if the other plant is also a kind of hoya.

And this is another hoya... but I don't know the name.

I can't help you with IDs, but I had to say you aquired some very nice plants there! The one in with the kerrii might be a Dischidia.

Yes, Denise, the smaller plant with the kerrii is a Dischidia. I found out the name from Bob Smoley's Hoyas site. Now I wonder how to care for this plant.

well it will probably be quite some time before any of the common public gets even a chance of seing one let alone get one. for a few reasons 1. Recently discoverd and they would have to collect seed. 2. they will probably protect it before they even think about trying to produce it for purchace, and it may never be avilable for purchase unless your from A botanical garden or are a plant researcher. Just Because Its so new And the may not know how many there are.

New Hoya from EA?

Hey Susan. You know, I really couldn't tell what you have from your description, but as you know, the EA Hoyas aren't very reliably labeled so you could very well have a non-Chelsea. Maybe you could compare what you have to the listings on their website: Exotic Angel Hoyas I'd be happy to send you a cutting or small plant of a plain green carnosa in the spring, if you like. Just send me an email to remind me when it's warm enough.

That's it! GG and Cindy pack your bags because we are going to Vietnam. After reading a little further I noticed that this Hoya is often found growing with an orchid I have adored for many years, Eria thao. Why not knock of two exceedingly rare plants at the same time. I can daydream can't I? lol Mike Here is a link that might be useful: Eria thao on IOSPE

Thx EMT, is this how you brought yours back, by cutting & soaking? HI GL, I'd potted up the plant, more than a month ago, but it appears not to be taking up liquid. So, I unpotted it, saw roots at the bottom of the stem & cut some of them off, cutting back the a bit of the bottom stem end to green growth, in btwn some of the roots (still left some). Am trying to get it to drink & plump up. Today, while it doesn't look better, it does feel firmer when I hold the cutting in my hand.

Very nice plants! Are those orchid pots in the second picture?

razzleberry: yes, I keep a few orchids too. The pot on the left is a cattlaya, the one on the right is not orchid, it's a baby Dischidia pectinoides.
I am rather 'wild'... I don't stick to only one type of plants. In fact, I grow almost...everything from the tiny AVs, orchids, lipstick, hoya (recently added to the list) to the giant king palm tree! Some plants I don't know the name of! So you can guess how glad I am finding out this garden web site.
Happy planting!

The hoya in my second photo is having some yellow leaves at the bottom of one of the vines. Is it normal or is the plant getting sick? What should I do? I've just got this plant for about a week. All the other vines look fine.
Thanks.
