Hoya lambii growers...
Comments (3)Believe me when it starts growing it will head straight up and not look back. This species grows a long bare vine and then SLOWLY fills in with leaves, did I say slowly yet? My plant is developing three new leaves right now including one that will eventually cup the peduncle. I grow my plant in bright light but direct sun will harm the leaves. This has been hands down my best bloomer and it's getting ready to bloom again. There really is no way to grow this Hoya without giving it some room to grow straight up and even if you train it around a smaller trellis it will not look like it should with it's up facing cup shaped leaves. The one time I tried to train the vine of my plant it broke and there has been no new vine growth since and that was almost two years ago, thank goodness it developed a peduncle to keep me interested.

Comments (7)Heuschkeliana is also an easy grower and bloomer. Some favorites of mine from that list, although they have not bloomed yet for me, are rigida 1424, aff. parasitica 'Lao 2', sp. Ban Nong Ngoy, and acuta 0079. They all grow fast and easily. I don't grow schneei, but paziae (close relative) is one of my favorites. I've done many trades and no one ever requests Lao 2, but I bet it's because they have no idea how pretty its growth habit is. ^_^ It's one of my favorites to gaze at. Mine grows its thick, heavily speckled, spade-shaped leaves in the most massive tight rosette before progressing up into a vine. I do not find pusilla or walliniana easy to grow, although they are not monsters either - just more particular. I used to think dasyantha easy, but we are always in a fight these days. I think it's best grown somewhere it dries out fast, because it used to love being right up against the glass of some extremely bright east windows. Megalantha does grow fast and easily, but I have always grown it in high humidity conditions, and I suspect it dislikes being meddled with, because whenever I do meddle with it, it drops leaves. If I just leave it strictly alone, though, it's one of my most aggressive plants. I'm really still in the process of understanding this one. Also, it looks pretty much just like paziae when not in bloom, except more delicate. Finally, I just got limoniaca in a trade, and it was totally my favorite of the bunch. Just from looking at its leaves, I suspect it will be easy to grow, but I just wanted to advise you that it's prettier in person than it looks in photographs. Good luck with your selections! Just get some fast bloomers to keep you company while you wait for the others to take their time. ^_~...See MoreNew hoya grower
Comments (17)Denise, please don't think I am looking for an argument because I am not. I am just picturing 3 rope plants in a 8" pot, I like full looking pot rather then giving more root room for the plants. Mel, please post a photo of your plants so we can see what it is.
