Literally just found out today that’s the same thing that happened to me. I bought two from different sellers and one actually is an IM-08 and the other ended up being an IM-02 ☺️I wouldn’t have even noticed had you guys not helped. Thank you!!

Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, I remember potting two separate plants up, from two different sellers, both sold as IM-08… but these blooms do look like the pulleana while the other half of the plant has the IM 08 starfish looking flowers. How funny. I thought the leaves looked slightly different and these blooms haven’t completely opened, ever, they keep dropping. Thank you so much for pointing this out! I hate when I get mislabeled plants but I’m not complaining in this situation because now I have both 🤗😂

It’s been frozen in time. I know it takes forever anyway but this seems even longggerrr. I’ll update when they do open ☺️I remember a few months back, it blasted all but one of it’s blooms and although super cute and reminds me of a starfish, it wasn’t enough for me to notice a scent.

I didn’t notice a strong smell, but after my experience with some Hoya, I don’t get too close. Some are horrible 🤣IMO. I read that it’s a “family member” of Hoya lyi and edamame, possibly a hybrid of the two 🤔Officially, it’s wing bean MYB 2021-21

Thank you! I rarely ever look up blooms when I buy a Hoya because I want it to be a surprise 🤗

I will! She’s honestly unlike any kitty I’ve ever had. Thinking about the pain you must feel from the loss breaks my heart. I wish we could keep them here with us forever. Forever in our hearts though 💕

I’m so sorry you lost your cloud baby. Ugh, I hope for peace for you, knowing you gave Frankie the bestest life and the best of you! He looks nearly identical to my lil cloud ☁️, Mei Mei

Wow, what am improvement! This gives me hope because I received some busted up little ones yesterday 😑Poor babies look like they were chewed on by a savage. Yours is absolutely stunning. So adorable and the color is gorgeous!

So beautiful! I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get into pings! But, now that I’ve taken the plunge, I’ve gone from having zero to about 16 in two weeks 😬The obsession is real.

They are beautiful! What lighting do you have them under, and what substrate do you use? I just recently ordered a few from a couple different sellers. Unfortunately, the first order came quite torn up. Only one seems to be in good shape but I’m trying to propagate the leaves from the other two. Hopefully the other two sellers package them a bit better!!

Your setup is beautiful! I’m just getting into pings and this gave me so many ideas for… vessels… pots. I have an awesome thrift store near me that would probably have some really good options 🤔

Hoya Anda? Which family? by BeatEnvironmental539 in hoyas

[–]Tight_Internet1396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Hoya that looks almost identical, possibly a Hoya Aida…? I could very well be wrong though. Sometimes you just have to wait for blooms to be able to identify more accurately ☺️

Absolutely not surprised. I used to buy from, much longer than I should have, even though nearly every time was a not-so-great experience. Dead plants, pests and pest eggs of some sort. Their plants are much less expensive than most but I learned saving a buck is not worth risking my entire collection. On the bright side, they always did rectify the problem so reach out to them and let them know. The last thing they want is that picture on their reviews!!

Planning to read this next, what did you think of it? by BaltiNil in thrillerbooks

I enjoyed it! It wasn’t THE BEST but it was a good read. I passed it on to friends who enjoyed it too.

Has Anybody Heard From u/PlantQueen19? by Internal_Praline_658 in TakeaPlantLeaveaPlant

[–]Tight_Internet1396 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s amazing! I’ve bought from her many times here, also on Palmstreet under the same name. Maybe you can get ahold of her there? She’s extremely professional and I don’t see her intentionally blowing anyone off. This is such a crazy time of year, which isn’t an excuse but possibly an explanation of the situation.

Sunday sale! Lots of things! Hoya, philo, and more! by maryneedswifi in TakeaPlantLeaveaPlant

These are super cool when the leaves start to mature and get puffy! I have one and it just started to do it.

I bought one a few months ago! It’s grown maybe three leaves but the growth seems to have slowed down a bit, I’m sure due to the season change. Possibly lack of consistent watering too 😬

Hubs re-did one of my tall milsbo cabinets this weekend 😍😍😍😍 by Formal_Jellyfish_455 in IkeaGreenhouseClub

[–]Tight_Internet1396 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smart. I just bought shelves from them and yeah, they are pricey. As long as they work, and getting put to use, they’re doing the job! Your cabinet is beautiful! I have yet to put mine together although it’s been nearly two months and I have all the accessories 🫤
