A late Bloom

Of the hoya that was my brothers Foster Mums, she pasted away and I rescued the hoya

It's beautiful love hoyas, used to have one for years but eventually lost it in various moves and haven't replaced it yet. I've been holding off as there are so many different ones I wouldn't be able to decide which ones to get so would have to start another collection

Reminds me of when my SIL saw mine flowering and asked me why hers wouldn't flower... but she used to keep cutting off the flower stalk thinking it was the end dying!

I did that with my fist one until I was told that they bloom from the same stalk thingo every year

I think the only reason I didn't cut mine was that I didn't get round to it soon enough... and then it flowered... one time that being neglectful was good

Such a pretty Hoya Cheryl.

Thanks Gwen it is just the common one but I love them all

They are such a lovely delicate looking flower, aren't they.

Very pretty Cheryl..

Do you fertilise yours Cheryl? I've got several but I've never been sure what to feed them.

I've also got that one, and it was my Mum's as well. I just pulled the whole thing out of the ground before we sold the house.

I have been told that a slow release fert will not harm them and the odd squirt of seasol, and they do like a repot from time to time I have found after a repot they take off again So the old saying that they like to be pot bound

They're supposed to dislike root disturbance as well.

I know Bubba, but every time I have repotted they send out the new longs stalks maybe they like being pot bound to flower more, who knows, but I will repot mine as they become pot bound now, I have 4 small one in the glasshouse that I will redo after Winter
