First Snow and the Hoya





Yesterday while opening the blinds and curtains to let in the sun I got a wonderful surprise. My Hoya had bloomed. I don’t know how long the bloom has been there. I have older Hoyas that have never bloomed. What a surprise. 

I gave her some water last night with a fertilizer for hoyas. She was bone dry and could be repotted from the tiny hanging pot it's in. If not repotting while blooming I at least need to add more soil to the container as the plant seems to have used up a lot of the soil.





I bought this hoya this year in November. I tried to pick the healthiest looking one but regret not picking one that already had blooms. It's large and I thought it would follow the others in bloom in the nursery but so far it hasn't. It's in a sunny window and I'll try to keep her moist as I'm a underwater of hoyas. Some of my house plants really let you know when  they need watering like my Africa violets, pothos, and peace lily. Leaf curl is my indictor that hoyas need to be  watered and also the weight of their container.
