I just got a Compacta Regalis (outer variegated) 🌱 about the same size as yours. I’m a bit scared about the pests too, but we can do it! On another note, you are absolutely glowing 😍
I found a huge basket of Hoya Compacta at Walmart when I was new to collecting houseplants and I underwatered it so badly AND I made the mistake of putting it outside during the summer (I live in the woods LOL) and it was a buffet for bugs. Yours is so pretty! Have fun with it!
Beautiful additions! You have a lovely collection. 🥰 Glad your friend gave you a cutting on that last one and that yours came back to life. Musta needed a friend! 😅
I've wanted a Hoya Compacta since first seeing one. But, unlike you, I haven't gotten over the fear of an infestation yet. I think if I come across it again, at Lowe's, I'm going to take a chance purchase it.
Yeah I'm nervous about it too. Make sure you have a good pest treatment solution on hand, just incase. A previous comment said to be proactive about it. We can do it! hehe. Happy growing! :-)
Yeah. It’s true. But slu have plants growing wild that I pay money for here. 😅 Pothos, Syngonium, Calladium. My mother is always talking about it. Ficus grows wild in Barbados and I’m pretty sure I saw a variegated Monstera growing wild the last time I was there. Somebody is bound to bring some Hoya in if it’s not there already. 😉
@yes we do have some plants growing in the wild here I own a few of them but definitely no Hoyas. I have a couple but my oh my there are so many that I would love to own.

Yes we can! A previous comment said to be proactive about pest treatments.
Thank you :-)

Ikr. It's good to have connections. Thanks for watching, Mel! 🙂
Please give updates to these plants! ❤
If you preemptively treat your Compacta you won’t have problems with pests. I spray mine down periodically and it seems to keep it bug free
That's reassuring! I appreciate that. Happy growing! :-)
Maybe give this compacta a dom. If it gets pest at least it won’t spread to your plants

So sad that we can’t get these plants in slu. Sigh. Lol

@Kim-addie1 I know what you mean. 😢 I’m still hopeful though. 😆
@ me too. If you ever hear anything do pass on the details.
@Kim-addie1 for sure. Connect with me in IG @luciansteph
I also killed my Coricea silver! 😂
Oh no! Sorry to hear. Will you replace it? Or are you done?
@ I have a splash so I’ll probably be done, it’s one of the most expensive cuttings I have lost 😞
@wootlesswocks oh dear😥. Gotcha.
First. Hi
👋🏽 Hi!! 😊🪴
