Omg this is absolutely beautiful! It exceeded my expectations! I am obsessed with these little Serpens and love them! They were packaged so carefully! Came with plant care instructions! The plant is healthy!! So healthy with new growth all over it! I love it! I’m definitely ordering more!

Hoya serpens - it bloomed!

I bought this Hoya about 6 months ago and it's now blooming. I love the tiny fuzzy leaves, and the flowers are adorably fuzzy and smell so sweet

So cute, that mini hoya

I ordered this plant few months ago from VB. This is a beautiful tiny hoya, the leaves are so small and cute. It grows fast. Freebie

Beautiful plant

I was recommended this website by a plant enthusiast friend and I don’t regret it one bit! Her serpens is wildly gorgeous and I can’t wait to get mine!

Cute as a button

This is a wonderful hoya to have in your collection. It grows fast and blooms beautifully and has the cutest little button leaves. I have 2 plants of comparable size and conducted a very non-scientific humidity experiment. The H. serpens with >50% humidity grew 10 new leaves in the time it took the one in 20% humidity to grow 3 leaves.

My absolute favorite!!

I was soooo happy when I saw Serpens for sale! I was even more thrilled when it came. The leaves are so small and fuzzy. I love this one more than all of my other plants!!

Such a grower!

I ordered this plant last year from here and it was grown so much!! It even has five peduncles that I’m so excited to see bloom!! Definitely recommend this Hoya!!

My favorite!

I've had my Hoya for years and it just keeps blooming and looking beautiful no matter what I do. Best plant ever!

Cutest plant I ever had

Arrived very healthy, like all the others, and keeps growing since. The leaves are so cute, it's the princess of all Hoyas!

Spectacular specimen of evolutionary biology at it's most bizarre and beautiful!

These plants are wonderful to grow and a pleasure to grow. So easy and gorgeous!

One of my favorite Hoyas

I love Hoyas with round leaves. I ordered a serpens from the Violet Barn and love it so much I am ordering a second one. It has the tiniest round leaves of all my Hoyas.

So Cute!

I ordered a serpens from the Violet Barn in September of 2017. I have a large collection of hoyas, but this is one of my favorites! I love the tiny fuzzy leaves. It now has a peduncle on it. I can't wait until it blooms.

love this plant

Not fussy -- it just keeps growing and growing. A small branch broke off, and I stuck the end in a tiny pot of soil and now I have a small 2nd one... EASY

My little favorite, adorable Serpens

Visited The Violet Barn about ten years ago and purchased three Hoyas. All are prospering. Love them all but Serpens is my favorite. Cute, compact, multiple blooms all summer. Hangs in the north window and I never let it dry out. Flowers smell like sweet heaven! Easy to root cuttings. A must have. The Violet Barn is a wonderful place to visit. Plan on going again this fall.

Finally bloomed after 5 or 6 years

I bought this for the foliage about 5 or 6 years ago. It's very tough, and can handle a bit of neglect. It is finally blooming for me for the first time, I believe due to adding lighting for my African Violets. The blooms have a sweet scent, which is a nice change. I love it!!

Patience Will be rewarded

I bought this intriguing little Hoya because it looked so different from everything else I have. It takes awhile to bloom but when it does, it's simply stunning! I love it!

Finally Found It!

I had this plant almost 20 years ago & it got mealy bugs so bad & I tried everything to get rid of them but to no avail So I had to destroy the plant. So I have been looking ever since for another one & tomorrow I will order it! It's a wonderful little button hoya

Great little Hoya

Currently my only Hoya, but an excellent only one to have! It's been an easy grower, tolerant of temperatures between mid 30s and high 90s F in my greenhouse. The fuzzy little flowers are fascinating and have a pleasant fragrance with notes of menthol. What's not to like?

Fairy Garden Delight

I love this little plant! It looks so lush in my fairy garden, nicely shaped and the perfect size with a couple of little trailers cascading down to the side. It hasn't bloomed yet, but even without the bloom, it's a beautiful, dainty little plant!

Miniature love!

Another fantastic little tiny hoya that seems to be quite happy to live its entire life in a 4" pot. I love the little speckles on the foliage. Mine at home has lots of flower spurs, but I have not yet been able to see it bloom...
