| Got this whizzing thru Home Depot while running errands. It was $10.98 but they sold it to me for $6 because I complained the soil was mildewed/ fungussed---white layer on soil..eeww. At first I though it was h. nummularoides. Now I am not so sure. Damn HD...they don't label their plants. From Costa Farms. Tried calling them...very rude...how dare someone ask what their plant is! Some of the younger leaves are pubescent (fuzzy) and elliptical...some mature leaves, on same stem, are rounder and not fuzzy...almost shiny. Thank you in advance if you have a clue.

| DS-70? |

| I have H. nummularoides and younger leaves are fuzzy but many older leaves are not. I think,older the leaf,less fuzz it has. Leaves do get reddish tint when exposed to sun. Old leaves are hard in texture, matt finish,though it has some shiny ones too. I am no expert but yours does look like nummularoides. |

| @ 3 gardeners: Not Ds-70, which i have. DS-70 has flatter leaves, which remain pubescent. @ Plumania: that was my 1st guess. i just have never seen mature leaves like this...but seeing you have it makes a definite possibility.... laurah aka \"gplainshoya\" |

Here is mine, but Carol is right.   |

| You are right Carol. It does have small peduncles...so knowing this species, it shold not take long...if it is a nummularoides. ....but after being in a crappy HD environs, no light, dry, cool....no plant is gonna bloom. I sprayed it with Bayer Rose& Flower insect killer and put it in the warmth outside under my 70% shade cloth. I'll treat the soil mildew in the morning with BATS all in one so it doesn't stay saturated all night, exacerbating the problem. laurah aka \"gplainshoya\" |

| It is nummulariodes. But I got a large one from Exotic Angel earlier this year (found at Lowe's). |

| My experience is that soggy wet soil is the death knell for this hoya.... We're still in summer...so with some good bloom fert, warmth and light you will probably have blooms this year... Nice find!!! Leap. The net will appear. |
