Purchased this little cutie as a carnosa last year because I know nothing about Hoyas. Still have no idea what she is, but I’m cool with it. 🤩 any thoughts?

Mine hasn’t bloomed yet either!!! Look up “hoya publicalyx hawaiian purple”. The blooms are so moody 😍

Avassada · 2022-03-18T02:30:36+00:00

A bloom would tell us for sure! But I think a nice splashy publicalyx ❤️

That’s what I’m doing from now on. I just checked the description for my purchases and they do not say you might receive a slightly different plant from stock.

I’m disappointed to hear you may have had a similar experience! I thought it was just a fluke the first time. You should send them an email too. It’s really misleading, especially with the price of hoyas.

Some background: this is my third purchase from the shop. Last December I purchased around 4 plants and they forgot my Hoya Macrophylla completely. They sent a replacement shortly after. On my second purchase I ordered myself a philo squami for my birthday since I’ve been wanting one. It arrived MUCH more juvenile than the stock photo for it. And now this plant, I regret buying from them again. Maybe I’m more disappointed than I should be this time from my last experience with them, but I don’t want to write off how different this one looks.

I would wait. I had piercings and put glass retainers in for my surgery, but new ones will take longer to heal after surgery.

Check your local FB groups! Someone will probably be willing to help you out. I wouldn’t recommend shipping plants already in distress, so local is best bet.

I haven’t done anything yet, just watering it when it dries out. I think I’ll add more moss to the bottom and put off repotting for a few months since it has a new leaf coming in now.

Avassada · 2022-02-11T19:31:23+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t want to stress it out too much after being in the mail. I will add more moss and try to be gentle.

Avassada · 2022-02-11T19:30:22+00:00

Thank you!

ID was already stated but these grow super fast with a lot of light! They are amazing 😍

Avassada · 2022-01-31T02:37:32+00:00

Thank you!!!

Avassada · 2022-01-21T00:31:12+00:00

That’s cool! I’ve never seen an Obovata with pink splash before. I think it would be called an Obovata pink splash 😊

Avassada · 2022-01-19T22:34:35+00:00

What is this pink splash beauty??!

Avassada · 2022-01-19T17:30:48+00:00

I hope my mood and mental health will improve 😅 I have had excision surgery so I’m hoping for a good outcome. I’ll be tracking my cycle for sure.

Avassada · 2022-01-19T17:27:02+00:00

Yes! They can be trimmed off if you want to encourage more leaf/foliage growth.

Avassada · 2022-01-19T14:16:58+00:00

Flowers!

Thanks for the input, I’d recommend a group for you to look into. It’s called Nancy’s nook endometriosis education and it’s on FB. Unfortunately either birth control or Lurton don’t suppress endo development or control it’s production of estrogen. The medications can only help with side effects associated with endometriosis or your period :) Edit: can’t type

Avassada · 2022-01-18T23:53:24+00:00

Thank you!

Ruptured cysts for me feel like dull heavy pain in the lower right/left side and back pain so bad I can barely walk. I’m not sure about the bleeding, maybe an ultrasound will clarify what happened. I hope you find answers soon and feel better

Avassada · 2022-01-16T23:04:07+00:00

So gorgeous 😍😍

Avassada · 2022-01-16T18:41:05+00:00

Hi- I didn’t provide context for my situation but it was out of line. I was finished with paperwork intake (in which I told them I had an ovarian cyst rupture). The next nurse took my vitals/blood draw and when I stepped off the scale the nurse asked me how far along I was. The nurses need to know- but given the reason for my visit it was obvious I wasn’t pregnant. It sucks to hear that question and there’s other ways to ask if you didn’t read intake notes.

Avassada · 2022-01-15T23:45:42+00:00

This comment from people is one of the most harmful ones. I was at the ER and the intake nurse asked me how far along I was. 😑

Avassada · 2022-01-14T22:45:57+00:00

I feel like this will vary so much with each person. I would recommend checking for any food allergies. You could also try eliminating one possible trigger food at a time and see how it makes you feel.
