![]() It could also be one of those Hoyas that just have to get some age on it before it will bloom. It is compared with the morphologically related Hoya uncinata Teijsm. It is one of the few species in the genus to have clear exudate. The first, Hoya ruthiae Rodda was collected in Sabah on Bukit Baturong, a limestone outcrop. Now that I have the plant grown to a large size though, all it wants to do is flower. species from Borneo are described and illustrated. I feel that I got off to a bad start with this plant, possibly if more care would have been taken, the plant could have been flowered much faster. I was so excited that finally I would get to see the flowers on this plant that I had spent so much time cultivating. Both are in pots for many months but not making good progress so I decided to cut to propagate. After four full years of growing, at last I noticed a real peduncle that actually started to bud up. Hoya Sarawak, with its unique and beautiful appearance, is more than just a pretty plant. Finally after three years I spotted my first vestigial peduncle, these are half atrophied peduncles that never fully develop and are not necessarily a precursor to flowering. After long periods of steady growth I was checking the plant at least weekly for signs of it first peduncle, always disappointed when I found nothing. The plant always grew best in the summer when placed outdoors in the greenhouse. It grew in my regular chunky mix, but I think the roots must have suffered some rot at some point as it would just sit there and act like a plastic plant – not growing at all for months at a time. It was a long slow slog with many interminable stops along the way. I saw one plant go on eBay for $165.00! So thank you Patrick for supplying me with the cutting! Growing the plant was no picnic for me. I feel that it is important to give him credit for it as in the early days after the release of this plant, it sold for huge dollars. Hoya ‘Nathalie’ came to me as a cutting from Patrick Vance in Michigan four years ago. She has also done amazing work with the deaf population of Papua New Guinea. She is Swedish, and a present day botanical explorer who has discovered a large array of new Hoya species on collecting trips all over the Hoya growing world. The plant was named in honor of Nathalie Evelinadotter Simonsson, now Nathalie Simonsson Juhonewe. Laos and Hoya vitellina so in Hoya ‘Nathalie’ there are some interesting genetics going on. Hoya ‘Joy’ itself was a cross between Hoya sp. Hoya Sarawak Cream, Hoya Latifolia, Large Leaf Hoya, Live Rare Wax Indoor House Plants, 3 Inch Plant Pot, Easy Care Plant, Pet Friendly Ad vertisement by ThePlantedVeteran ThePlantedVeteran.
