Overgrown Oasis

• Hey guys! I’m Brandon and I live in Orlando, Florida. I grow a variety of plants including hoyas, aroids, cacti, and succulents. I grow all my plants outside so I can take full advantage of the Florida heat and humidity.

• I’ve always had an interest in plants from a young age which came from helping my dad with landscaping the house. I had a cactus or two growing up and I always took an interest in learning about plants. I started collecting plants in 2014/15, but even then it was just succulents. It wasn’t until late 2018 that I started my houseplant journey.

• In the year 2019 I acquired my first Hoyas, which were a Carnosa ‘Krimson Queen’ and a Compacta. I fell in love and now I have 200+ Hoya.
