Spring has Sprung
Congratulations! You’ve made it through winter (perhaps even your first as a hoya collector). Hopefully there haven’t been too many HDITF (hoya deaths in the family) and if there have, take heart. Hoya collectors aren’t born with green thumbs, we develop them over time, learning from our mistakes and listening better to what our hoya tell us.
Happy Birthday Mr Hummel
119 years ago today, Edward Hummel (known as ‘Mr Hummel’ even by close family members, including his wife) was born and he played a key part in the Hoya genus’ botanical legacy as a hybridiser and importer of hybrids from the tropics into California.
Fertilisers… Food for thought
At HoyaHoya.nz we want every collector to have a beautiful collection of Hoya that brings them joy. And being the hoya nerds that we are, we’ve spent a lot of time researching just what your hoya needs to pump out luscious leaves and simply stunning flowers.
