Overgrown Oasis

• Hey guys! I’m Brandon and I like Hoya! I live in the sunny, humid theme park capital of the world - Orlando, FL. I’m a born and raised South Floridian, but Central Florida is where I call home. I grow a variety of plants, but Hoya have my entire heart.


• I’ve always had an interest in plants growing up. I think it started from a young age, while helping my dad with landscaping our yard. I remember owning a cactus or two while growing up, but I didn’t start collecting plants until 2014/15. And even then, it was only succulents that I had. It wasn’t until late 2018/2019 that I started to experiment with growing houseplants.

• In the year 2019 I acquired my first Hoyas, which were a Carnosa ‘Krimson Queen’ and a Compacta. I fell in love instantly and now the majority of my plant collection are Hoya.
