today, while at a stop light with my windows down, a homeless man told me “ain’t shit to smile about” and tried to bonk me on the head with his sign (I dodged) 😄😄😄 I love Atlanta

Thank you! ☺️ I actually noticed my first one yesterday - my first ever hoya bloom 🥰 #bloomscrolling

Light pink hoya compacta blooms - there are 14 flowers bursting out from the peduncle. They are baby pink with 5 petals and deep fuchsia centers

and I have been fertilizing every few months! Nothing fancy, just using miracle grow :)

During warm seasons, it vacations on my front porch where it gets great afternoon sun! I acclimate it each year by putting it out for a few hours a day, increasing until the plant is acclimated to the sun strength and it can stay outside 24/7. In cool months, it’s under a grow light inside ☺️

hi #plantsky, it’s been a while :) popping in to share what 2 years of growth has looked like for my hoya carnosa ‘compacta’ 💚

A small hoya carnosa ‘compacta’ in a brown 6 inch plastic pot. The plant is very young, with the longest vine being about 5 inches. The leaves are waxy and bright green with distinct folds throughout, the primary characteristic of the compacta variety.

the same hoya carnosa ‘compacta’ nearly 2 years later - it has about 5-6 different vines with 3 of them being more than 2.5 feet long when fully extended! It is hanging on my front porch in the evening sun.
