Question
Lipstick? Hoya?
Hi Nick!
I owned a lipstick vine/plant/mona lisa for about 4 years now.. and wanted to purchase another one. So today i went to Lowe's, where i bought my original, hoping they would have another. I saw two plants. One was marked 'Hoya' but looked REMARKABLY like my lipstick plant and the other said 'Lipstick/mona lisa'... and didn't look anything like my plant at home.
I then had them call over the "plant expert" who told me that the plants were marked correctly and there was no mistake.
I included a picture of my new plant. From what i have seen online... it looks like a hoya and not a lipstick. Can you help me?
AnswerHi Maria, I have to disagree, I brought up numerous pictures of the Mona Lisa variety and put yours right smack next to it, and they are identical; if you put in "picture of mona lisa plant" it brings up some nice images that you can see and compare. Without flowers it looks similiar to many different plants (Hoya for one...), but when put together frame to frame (yours and the image from the interent), there is little doubt. Nick
