This is my Hoya Multiflora or shall we called a Shooting star. This Hoya I got from Kim’s Nature in Markham, Ontario. Yes. my family and I drove to Markham. Ontario for a long drive after a long month COVID lockdown. Anyhow, this is one of my dream hoyas since I started to collect them.
According to the Encyclopedia of Succulents, the origin and habitat of hoya multiflora or shooting star are from the forest of the following countries Burma to Thailand, China, Malaysia, Java, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This hoya was being described in 1823.
This Hoya is compact, upright, and shrubby. I observed this hoya that it doesn’t produce branches. What I really like about this plant is its flowers. It has arrow-shaped petals that bend like a shooting star. When she starts to flowers it produces so many flowers, that’s why they called this plant multiflora because of that feature.
When I got this Hoya, it was June 2020. I cannot remember exactly the date. It has two peduncles then after a week, it adds another in the total of 6 peduncles. I've waited for weeks before they really opened it into full bloom and yes it lasted for about 12 days.
