"Hoya-Blue is my passion project.  I’ve been in love with Hoyas forever."

Here at Hoya-Blue we believe that plants provide an essential connection between the natural world and your everyday life. Captivated by the clusters of porcelain-like flowers Hoyas produce, we quickly became passionate to share them with you! We strive to be a community for those who appreciate the simple pleasures of life. Growing Hoyas offer a lifetime of new perspectives to those who take the time to look. 

 

Whether you’re seeking a solution, buying a cutting, or just dropping by for a little inspiration, we welcome & thank you.

THE FOUNDER

Holly Culbreth

"My grandmother, Mary Jane, had an atrium that was full of the most wonderful plants.  It was warm, made me feel safe, and it was like I was taking a walk through the rain forest.  I can remember first seeing the blooming Krimson Queen Hoya that I named Estee.  The bloom was so delicate that I held my breath as I marveled at the intricate parts.  The small drops of nectar dripping down the stem as well as the overwhelming smell of chocolate was the most amazing thing I had ever seen.  Pieces of that plant have been passed down and propagated over the last 40 years to many members of the family.  It is something that I hold as a sacred treasure that reminds me of how our legacy can live on. 

 

Fast forward in time, I have spent years studying Hoyas and found that there are many varieties and variations, and I have a passion for propagation.  It is great fun to watch a stem or leaf take root and bring an entire new Hoya to life.  I recently moved into a house with an urban cultivator, and rather than growing micro-greens, I’ve started a Hoya farm.  

 

Since a young girl, I have named my Hoyas and created stories about them as they grow and change.  I look forward to sharing these stories with you as I build this Hoya-Blue community.  Thank you for contributing your precious time in this space as it will enhance the project and certainly add additional energy to the abundance that Hoyas provide."
