the second blooming of Hoya

My first #waxplantwednesday! I got this gorgeous #hoyapolyneura from @perky.plants amazing giveaway bundle and it has not one but TWO penduncles growing which are so cute. It’s such an unusual plant, my first Hoya and so far a very easy care plant. I love the way she trails and it perfectly compliments this forest green ceramic pot I got from @lidlgb (one of my favourite places to buy plants!) I actually keep it in the bathroom window (not on this shelf 😜) which is east facing and there’s also a south facing window into the room, however both are frosted so it’s very much indirect light. Our bathroom has a dehumidifier in it so I spray the plants in there a couple times a day. So far I’ve only fertilised once but I’ve heard that hoyas can take more. Do you have any #waxplants or #hoyas? (at Leeds) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFwoZbZgPNn/?igshid=1r0ktme6tybjm

Extra chuffed about this so Tumblr gets spammed as well. Man, I am so damn proud of these wax plants. I got the poor things back in January for $3 each when they were on death's door at Home Depot. Must have trimmed 5 lbs of dead leaves off them when I got them home and now six months later, they are thriving. This is an extra triumph since my Plant XP is very low. #battalionhq #mercersplantlife #waxplants #plantspam
