Hi Everyone,
Mike from Toronto Canada here.
I got a hoya plant today but the seller didn't know the name as she lost the tag and couldn't remember its name. I'm hoping someone can help me identify this plant. 🙂👍

Hi mike_batiller, Welcome! to garden.org!

I wish I could offer suggestions of an ID for your Hoya but I learned from a couple of professional growers years ago that it's sometimes impossible to identify from leaves alone. Many Hoya leaves look quite similar in size, shape, etc. but once your plant matures and blooms, it will be much easier to determine the species/cultivar. Did the seller by chance tell you what the blooms looked like, or what color they were?

The leaves don't look like any of the Hoyas that I've grown but if you post your photo over on the Hoya Forum here: https://garden.org/forums/view... perhaps another member who grows these wonderful plants will have suggestiions.
