  • Question

    I bought this plant from a local nursery. They told me ( with uncertainty ) that it was a hoya. When i brought it home, it fell from my celing, pot cracked and a lot of damage done to the plant. The leaves are wrinkling and the flowers are starting to die off and shrivel. When I googled hoya I couldot find an example of the plant I have, under any types of variations of a hoya. Any idea on what this plant is?Round,waxy almost succulent leaves, and pink flowers. I'd love to get it healthy again

    Answer

    Dear strangecreek11, I'm sorry that I cannot help you with this question. Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. While I will always try to assist you with questions related to cultivated plants, sometimes I won't known the answer. In this case, the only thing I can offer is that this plant is not a species of hoya (they have a very different floral structure). Best wishes.
