Dave61, my collection so far; Hoya acuta, carnosa, carnosa 'Indian Rope' variegated round the leaf edge, carnosa 'Red Button', ciliata, curtisii, diversifolia, gracilis, heuschkeliana,ischnopus, lacunosa, loherii, mindorensis, obscura, purpureafusca, serpens. I don't really aim at collecting all the hoya species, its just that my green house suffered a lot of losses over 8 months that I was looking after a very sick person, also a possum kept breaking in and knocking pots over. After all that mayhem the hoyas were still there and the orchids suffered. Started to look at the Hoyas with more interest and realised just how interesting their foilage can be, with flowers to boot! I've added to the collection concentrating on the ones that appealed the most.
Shame about the lacunosa, have you had it long? mine is still in a 2" pot, but has just finished flowering for the first time.
Would love to get your suppliers address, do they do mail order?
What's your longifolia like? if you can spare a slip, maybe we could swap, if the one you like is big enough.
Being in lovely warm Qld. you must be growing yours outdoors, while I run around trying to find a warm spot for them LOL :-)

Hi Bumble
I would like to grow outdoors but like I said possums seem to enjoy eating Hoyas and the possum sprays just seem to be like salad dressing.At the moment I have some outside that the possums don't seem to like but lacunosa has been put in the shadehouse for safekeeping.Looks like we both have some that the other hasn't so if you are interested in atrade let me know.
Liddles address is.
Liddles Nursery
PO Box 794

Good luck
Regards Dave61.

Paradisia Nursery in Victoria sells 60 different varieties of hoya.Check them all out at www.collectorscorner.com.au
They have an excellent range of succulents,bonsai,tillandsia and cactii too but it is mainly the hoyas that are comprehensively represented on this website!There are some pretty amazing varities:)

I don't grow Hoyas', but I do have one that was given to me when I was 17. I am now 58 and my Hoya has been planted in and out of the ground and into pots whenever I have moved house over the years. The only thing that I have done to it, is to cut it back with each shift that I make. It is still looking good and healthy.Looks like it will probably outlast me.

Hi all. This is the first time I have posted a message. I grow alot of succulents and love Hoyas too. I got quite a few from Paradise distributors by mail order. I find they have quite a few unusual and interesting plants. Their web address is www.bena-australis.aunz.com/paradise Another usefull mail order site for succulents, especially echeverias is Jocelyn Ainsworth at email address andoran@1earth.net.au. Hope these will help those that are interested.

I just realized that I should introduce myself. I'm from the U.S., been growing since I was a child, a very young pup.
I have been volunteering at the Huntington Gardens for the past 10 years, propagating everything I can lay my hands on, and Hoya is the new species that I study about every night.
I also grow the following Crassula, Gasteria Echevieria,Sedum,Sanserviera, Aloe, (mini) Haworthia, Kallanchoe, Cotyledon, Tylecodon, and various other species. I tend to like the miniature specie, varieties, forms.

I love to have visitors, from all over the world, also I have been to Australia 2 times, would visit again, at the blink of an eye, you have a wonderful country, and your people are your countrys main assets. I would like to hear from all of you. Crasulady2

I was in Big W in Rockhampton today and they have a number of Hoya Species well struck and growing in pots, would have loved to come home with the lot !!!!!!!

I have about eight, i think, and they are all putting on new growth at the moment. They are all tiny little ones that I bought from kmart and big w. It's amazing what you can find! I have carnosa, shepardii, acuta, krinkle, ciliata, obscura, and something else which i can't remember. I've never even seen one in real life but I can't resist the pictures!

Why not joining the Hoya forum ?
I live in Belgium, buth am sure you will find some others from your country there.

If you're ever up Mosman (QLD) way, Wonga Bella Nursery has a SPECTACULAR display, including some gorgeous hoyas.

The hoyas are wonderful at Wonga Bella ,but did you see the Jade Vine flowering,really amazing.
I am up to 16 Hoyas now, some with no names, just waiting for them to flower to find out what I have. I will have to stay out of Big W for a while, can't resist the lovely little ones they have there.
Marion

Marion, didn't see the jade vine flowering at Wonga Bella, but looking at the pics on the web, I know I need one. :)

BigW at Maryborough (my closest one) doesn't have the hoyas - in fact they have nothing very exciting at all.

Pam

Pam, Come visit Rockhampton, I'm staying out of Big W now till your Lester travels up here to build a Hoya House for a country weekend with scones and strawberry jam and cream, wasn't it ? was some chocolate thrown in too !!!!!!!!!!
plenty of left over easter eggs.

I was wondering if any of you know the e-mail address for David Little. I am a collecter in the U.S. and would love to place an order with him, but can't seem to find his e-mail address.

Thank You, Patricia

Hi All I am also an avid Hoya grower I believe I have about 11 different ones although not many tags left on after I a large move. I am in Central Western NSW so have to be very careful about what I choose to grown here due to our extremes of heat and cold. I am interested in swapping cutting (if the plants are big enough of course).

Regards

Deb

I am a Hoya grower in Queensland and I would love to catch up with Hoya grower that would like to swap cutting and chat about those challenging and difficult to grow Hoyas like Hoya Serpens which is one of my frustrating plants at the moment

Can anyone gift or sell me an obovata cutting?

What country are you located in?

Hi , have started collecting hoyas. I live in Central Queensland and just love them. Some of the foliage is amazing
