Hi!! Also a hoya lover. Used to grow many of them when I was growing up in FL but having a hard time with houseplants here in PA. They grow well in the summer outside but often "dry out" with the inside heat. Have one hoya in bloom now and just got another today. Just "orphans" from the local Walmart/Home Depot but they are still beautiful!! Smiling
I hate losing plants....I know they are "just plants" but when you nurse them along and baby them and get them to grow, bloom, and be pretty and they die....it's like losing a friend..... Crying

Lovey dubby Hoya mindensoris Lovey dubby MJ, Can you post a picture of the whole plant. I am not familiar with your plants.We just can't get the variety that warmer climates seem to get.
H. carnosa compacta & H. carnosa krimson queen.They look the same but the leaves are very different.Compacta is the curly leaves & the KQ has white in the center and green around the edges of the leaves.
Thumb of 2014-07-11/jojoe/d8c087 Thumb of 2014-07-11/jojoe/37ebef

One stem is pink and all the leaves on that stem are completely white. It's odd but really pretty.Unfortunately the only photo's i can find right quick like of both of the entire plants are from last summer.I do need to take photo's for this summer.
You can see the pink stem and white-pinkish leaves only on the pink stem.The 2nd photo is the compacta in bloom last summer.

A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
