Lets see we have H. Lobbii that I almost chopped. You can see the yellowing around the edges of the leaves. The brown spots on the one leaf have always been...
This is H. Verticillata Bogar. I've had it for 2 years and has not grown a bit. Moved it twice to see if it would help. Not yet. H. Limoniaca same story. Just...
Danielle, with root issues, what I have noticed that is healthy Hoya roots generally are whitish or tan and have a smooth, firm appearance. When roots are...
Mark wrote, "I use half and half fine orchid bark and Hydroton (expanded clay balls) for almost all of my Hoya, it works really well." I have to say something...
Antone, Good point. I switched to coconut husk pieces back (....?). It supposedly breaks down so slowly as to last years and years. I'm pretty sure I've had...
Danielle, you ask lots of very good questions!!! And, just like hoyas coming from different parts of the old world we all have different ways of creating a...
In regards to what Hoya I kill- The pottsii/acuta/samoensis types have always been a problem for me. I finally decided that they need an especially porous mix,...
Hmmmnn... my reply from yesterday seems to have gotten lost in cyberspace. My apologies if it shows up twice. Danielle, I was saying that a group I've had a...
Hi Alison, I like the coconut husk chips also! Been experimenting with my plant soil mix and I usually take a big tub and put in some good potting mix, about a...
Shambala, Thanks for posting your recipe. I haven't seen the Oyama pots, but I will search and read up. I too like the CHC (coconut husk chunk). I get the...

Hi all, I received my box today, from Lorna, in Washington state, and I feel like I just won the lottery!!! Woo Hoo!!! I received: H. cinnamomifolia H. cv....
Something I use in my garden as well as my big pots of hoyas is Molassas and Fish Fertilizer in water (about 1Tblsp. each) and I water it in. The concoction...
... Carol, Do you mean the 'chunk'? I had understood coir to be the peat type? I have to be hopeful! It is incorporated as an amendment into many of my...
Hi Carol, Yes, I'd say the leaves are longish and they do have specks. I'll add the H. amoena name to the tag and wait for the plant to bloom, before changing...
Alison, here ya go... Taken from Google... "Stiff coarse fiber from the outer husk of a coconut." As far as I know, all Coir is coconut and I stay away from it...
... Well, here goes me calculating materials to repot all of these plants. :-( Monterrey bark was highly recommended, maybe I'll try it. Thanks Antone. And...
I use BIG R which comes in at UNDER 10$ for 3 cubic feet here in Hawaii. I know Mark Randal uses it too. It was introduced to me by a grower of tropicals who...
