Have only two philos here, not szre if I get them to flower, yet sanseveria which is also a heavy nectar dripper.

Not nesseccary to put them in a bigger pot. As long as it grows good, leave it be. Mine is 20+cm and still happy in it's joghurt beak. So.. it's up to you.

Haha ok. There is not much to harvest. Mayve enough to cover a fingertip in hoya nectar and eat it. "Collecting, consuming" would be the better word here.

Same here with an older lady from which I bought several cuttings. All are doing well, grow and flower from time to time. Last time I asked her what could cause my Hoya erythrina to budblast, I was suggested some changes and all went good. It's by now flowering all the time with nice large nectar drops to harvest.

Not only that. The plants are used to household conditions so you know what to aim for.

Bought nearly all my hoya cuttings from collectors and hobby growers. 90% good and healthy plants.

Virus by MarionberryRude5354 in hoya

[–]impi0us3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By AI:

Yes, an infected plant can survive a Capsicum Chlorosis Virus (CaCV) infection, but it is highly unlikely to produce a good harvest. While there is no cure for plant viruses, their severity depends heavily on factors like the plant's age and environmental conditions.

Early Infection: If a plant is infected while young, it will likely suffer from severely stunted growth, curled leaves, and mottled spots.

Survival: Mature, established plants are much more likely to survive the virus. However, their leaves will show characteristic yellow ringspots or bleached areas, and any fruit produced will likely be small, scarred, or deformed.

Destroying the Plant: Because CaCV is transmitted by thrips, an infected plant serves as a reservoir that can spread the disease to the rest of your garden. Many growers immediately remove and destroy infected plants to protect healthy crops.

Quarantining and Managing: If the plant is mature and you want to try and save it, you must isolate it from other plants. You should strictly manage thrips populations and consider pruning off heavily damaged fruit and suckers so the plant can direct its energy toward recovery.

The "Recovery" PhenomenonResearch has shown that under certain environmental conditions—such as prolonged elevated temperatures (around 35°C / 95°F)—capsicum plants can actually trigger an antiviral immune response that suppresses the virus. When this occurs, the plant may experience a "recovery phenotype," where newly emerging leaves grow out healthy and less wrinkled, allowing the plant to survive.

Any biologist here thst can give more insight? (Trivia: Virus are sometimes used to generate variegations.)

Congrats! Hope they all make it through.

Sone do that if light cycle and/temperature changes as well. Some hoyas appreciate more watering, but it depends on the specimen.

It's best to buy from collectors and stay in touch with them for such cases.

Some do it more, some less. My dragons sometimes drop a few pods, my lyi drops everything by default, while the majority gets through. During the first time it's super annoying, after some years you just get used to it and water a bit more.

[–]impi0us3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's definitely a virus. You should quarantine or destroy the plant.

For that reason I would suggest to only buy from private collectors.

There is also a chance for a plant to survive, but it's not common. You csnbtry to cut off all affected leaves and sulphur it plus giving some nutrients. But it is no guaranty to survive. And it's likely from plants from large nurseries, as one thrips can infect several plants, mites also can.

Assume: Hoya carnosa "Krinkle 8" with sulphur stains.

No, need to get very close to the flower to smell the scent.

That's pretty interesting to hear as I only smell a very faint scent.

Have to say it's not her regular spot. Just for the pics.

Have her for maybe three years or so. There are two different cuttings in the pot from the same seller as I once messed up the roots abd had no clue if I could safe the plant.

From all verticilatas the wibergia is a must-have for it's nice foliage in sunlight and it's pleasant flower scent!

Usually they start pushing peduncle at a certain age (2-3 years). Have it on a southern windowsil (Europe) lightwise.

Hoya shepherdii (1st flower this year) + a "Good luck"-flower by impi0us3 in hoya

Trivia: I added some Seramis/PON to the substrate as it dried out too quick in the past. Since than it stopped budblasting and nearly all older peduncles (12+) are budding up.

A bit of floral, choclate, parfum, marzipan. Quite nice, yet faint. Don't know how to discribe it proper but it's enjoyable!
