5. Lovely plants. I only have three of the basic hoyas

Carnosa, princess and queen. My plain carnosa is going freaking nuts. Usually it blooms a one shot deal, this year it bloomed for 6 months. It came from a one stem 4 leave cutting and is a monster. The vines have vines and those have more vines and they are at least 20 feet long making a huge bushy gorgeous plant. The princess is doing good but it is blah and has yet to bloom. The queen I have had for three years and it was doing nothing until I put it under lights and is now finally starting to have new growth and hopefully bloom next year. It is under lights in the early morn, then I put it in the south window for natural light and then when the sun moves it goes back under lights until I go to bed.

I have been wanting to grow my collection but damn covid has me from going to the plant store.

Not a hoya but I did get a wicked deal on a zz (grocery store) but that is because the store put the wrong price on it. It was huge in a 6 inch pot with a small 4 inch price and it is bulging in its pot. 12 bucks so I snatched it quick because the same size was going for $30+ at the other stores.

I don't have much room in this tiny place but there is always room for more green.
