I bought two lovely hoyas the other week from the local grocery store. As we all know, such places don't exactly specialize in plants, their staff know nothing about what they're selling or how to care for them, and between the supplier and the store, it's a wonder any of these poor things survive. (They're lucky if whoever buys them actually knows how to take care of them.) When I bought mine, they had decorative plastic wrap rubber-banded around their pots, completely disallowing any drainage; and whoever watered them last must've thought these were underwater-dwelling plants, because they were positively DROWNING - the water was spilling out of the pot. (That was immediately dumped out as soon as we left the store, and I've refrained from watering them since, just to give them a chance to air out.)

To be truthful, though, when I brought them home, I had no idea how to care for them, because the labels they came with simply said, "decorative house plant." There was no indication whatsoever as to exactly what plant they are. I happened to find the same plant today in a Home Depot, one that was properly labeled - that's the only reason I now know that I have hoyas.

All that being said, I still don't know what type of hoya they are. I've posted pictures online; could anyone here tell me what species or cultivar I've got?

And are there any suggestions for proper care? I've found some info online, but if any of y'all have any sage advice, I'm happy to hear it.

Thanks so much!
