Catfished by a Hoya: The Mislabeled Plant Epidemic
-

Have you ever purchased a Hoya only to discover that the name on the tag might not match the plant in your hands?
In this episode of The Hoya Underground, we explore the surprisingly common issue of mislabeled Hoyas and how plant identities can become muddled as names travel through collectors, vendors, imports, and social media. We discuss why this happens, why it matters, and how it impacts both new collectors and longtime hobbyists.
Also included:
- Emily confidently attempting several botanical pronunciations.
- Michael and Emily engaging in plant nerd tangents.
- The realization that sometimes nobody actually knows what they're looking at.
This isn't an episode about revealing culprits. It's about awareness, curiosity, and learning how plant names evolve as they move through the hobby.
Come for the Hoyas. Stay for the pronunciation adventures. 🌿🎙️
