Why yes, this was a huge pain in the ass to repot lol. Definitely my biggest hoya in my collection.
This is from last week:
From when I first got it and was treating it for pests:

This guy just loves to flower for me :)
4 peduncles currently active (pics below are from yesterday):
Hoya heuschkeliana (inner var.)
These cute little blooms opened up today. Look how adorable they were just before they opened:
They really do smell a bit like chocolate. Had this plant for almost 2 years now and it's finally showing its love.
I have a bit of a conundrum. Twice now I've seen fairly large mealy bugs in this ping's dish. ordinarilly I'd dunk the whole plant (roots and all) into insectidal soap for 30 minutes. With pings though I worry the leaves are too sensitive.
Has anyone ever successfully treated pinguiculas for mealy bugs or other soft bodied pests?
Luckily it's in my quarantine so it hopefully won't spread to my whole collection. Below is a closeup of the culprit, along with the plants in that room (mostly newly bought pings...)
