I made a big purchase of hoya cuttings at the beginning of April. Unfortunately, after driving the 4 1/2 hours home, me and my husband realized there were several of the cuttings that weren't labeled & there were plants that looked alike, etc. We really messed up buying all that at a plant market because it was a frenzy.... everyone was grabbing the hoya cuttings off the table so frantically. The stand owner was even picking different ones out for us & putting them in our pile so it was just a disaster. We didn't re-evaluate everything we had until we got home. Anyway, we ended up with SEVERAL hoyas with no name tags and even possible doubles of plants that don't have a name. I would really appreciate some help in identifying any of these. I have posted in several forums and pages on the internet trying to get these identified, and I am starting to give up. Any help and/or guesses are much appreciated. Thank you for your time everyone, Stephanie Taylor

Here is my breakdown on the pictures:

#1 - looks like a Hoya sunrise, maybe.
#2 - Have no idea

#3 - Really leaning towards - H. Kalimantan
#4 - Familiar, but I can't place it
#5 - Have no idea
#6 - H. Callistophylla (I was thinking that I may have bought a "long leaf" callistophylla, and a short leaf callistophylla..... but as you can see from the pictures, this gets confusing because the leaves on number 6 are both long and short! I don't even know if there is such a thing as a short leaf and long leaf version - lol - I know people claim there is.

#7 - Really leaning towards a H. Treubiana
#8 - Looks like another H. Sunrise or maybe a H. Obscura?

Thank you in advance everyone!!!

Sorry guys, I am having trouble uploading the pictures.

Have to load the photos a few at a time so it will work.

Here are the rest:

Many, many Hoya leaves look a lot alike and it's pretty close to impossible to identify them until they produce blooms.

#1 & # 4 leaves resemble:



#3 & #6 leaves resemble:


#7 leaves appear a bit wide for:


#8 leaves look too small to be H. obscura and leaves don't look like a match for H. 'Sunrise' to me either:


Hopefully someone who grows more Hoyas than I do will possibly recognize your plants leaves but without blooms I really think it's impossible to offer an exact identity.

Wow that's a lot of fun mysteries to unfold!

WOW! I'd love to have your ID problem! I'd just grow them all out and try to ID them once they bloom, but truthfully, I get my happiness from seeing them growing and doing well. Even if I called them all George, it wouldn't matter to me. I don't sell them but grow them for enjoyment only. I wish you all the best and hope they grow well for you.
BTW - where do you find such a place that they were offering such a wide variety? They look great. Enjoy them always.

He only one I'm pretty sure of is #1 Sunrise. Here is mine.



Here is my Obscura.

Nice! I had a Wax Plant (Hoya obscura) about 12 years ago; that one has pretty blooms. I don't really remember whatever happened to my H. obscura; likely one that was lost to a freak winter freeze.
