| Hello all! i'm sure you have tons of threads like this but i need some help. I am new to hoyas but familiar with Carnosa. i currently have 5 plants. (yes they have nicknames) 1) Norma: a "vintage" Carnosa: long trailing vines, dark green almond leaves, pink/ white star shaped flowers, very few white speckles with no patches. 2-3) Starlet & Scarlet: a pair of variegated carnosa: trailing vines, Almond leaves, bold white & pink patches 4) Indira: variegated Carnosa Compacta: Indian rope plant: trailing vines, bold white & pink patches, curled leaves 5) Kamala: ???????: round leaves, no white/ pink, young growth seems to be red purple, fast growing, aggressive climber (it will even climb itself... I've seen ivy less tenacious than this) So i started a new job and in the window next to my station was Norma, this dead looking plant with 1 green leaf and a massive fungal infection. so i did emergency surgery and cutaway everything but the leaf and 15% of the roots that seemed clean. it sprung back and i took it with me when i left that hell hole. recently I decided she needed some company so i picked up Starlet & Scarlet from a local garden center. while there i was told they would have some rope plants in a week, so i put one on reserve. It was while i was picking up Indira that I saw Kamala and she's the one i need help identifying. she was labeled as a variegated carnosa.... so i asked if any of the employees knew what she was since the tag was clearly wrong  . Their hoyas 'expert' shrugged said it was as labeled but since it was annoying to take down she was only willing to do so if i was truely interested in buying (which i did)I'd love to know what she is though and if there is any special care she needs compared to the others? |

| Hello Arieoelle, welcome to the hoya addics  I think your unknown hoya is a hoya australis. Very good size plant! You will need a lot of space for it because australis grows vigorously. Good luck with your "Kamala"  |
