I have a number of beautiful H. oreogena from David Liddle...and he confirms that this is what the plant IS...but I have not gotten it to bloom. I get so...
Carol, I don't know if its coincidence but every time I let a reluctant bloomer climb upwards, it ends up giving in and blooming. I have had about 6 or 7...
Yes, Antone...it is amazing, isn't it!!! I have hung it out in a tree, where I won't forget where it is...and it can climb all over it. They DO love to climb...
- ... once a year. It sounds too good to miss out on. Also what are some of the best sites to purchase Hoyas that are a little unusual.Not the big box same ...
So I received this plant several years ago now and it was labelled Hoya parasitica var citrina. It has really large leaves. This year I was shocked to find a...
I am starting to get hooked but have a question about having hoyas outside. What about their watering needs and then the rain. Do you hang them in a covered...
So much depends on where you live (low temps? really hot with strong sun? etc.) and which hoyas you hang? Also...what kind of soil do you use in the ...
I grow outside in Houston Tx. I use a very well draining soil mix. I grow in hanging plastic pots under the trees so they are growing in the shade. Here in...
Wow, very cool! Thanks for posting the photos! Mike ________________________________ From: Boon Leng <kbl101@...> To: thestemmaforum@yahoogroups.com ...
... Thank you for the answers to my question. I live in zone 9b-10 and we have been having a LOT of rain in short periods each day. So I guess I will keep them...
I hope I am not repeating myself (did I post this before?) but I grow mine outdoors in hanging pots in trees and after 4 straight months of rain (I kid you...
There are only a few hoyas I don't leave out all winter and they are those in the archboldiana complex... They like growing dry in the winter... All others I...
Carol, I'd like to comment on this statement you made... "Remember...many hoyas come from double monsoon areas...LOTS of rain!!!" I read this and thought that...
You are right about the lianes just clinging to the trees - or hanging in mid air - Sure not hanging in pots!!! My medium for the pots outside is very very...
Hey Hills- can you take a picture of the back of the flower? The sepals of H. citrina are supposed to be distinctive, and there really is not a lot that...
In my cool summer/ mild winter climate I can grow some Hoya outside all year long- mostly those species from the Himalayan foothills, southern China, and...
Mark, Since I know that you also use perlite for rooting I wondered if you have had the same thoughts along the lines of how well plants perform in it while...
Seems the plant is telling you that it is happy...and I would let it grow like that. I have killed plants taking them out of how they have adjusted to growing ...
They do love perlite, don't they? If perlite kept its structure I would leave most of mine in that permanently, but perlite does present a couple of problems...
What do you think of the idea of growing them in volcanic ash alone? I have heard that in Hawaii they grow Orchids just in lava rock, do you think it might...
As long as the 'ash' drains well...and the roots get airy spaces... Cinders, here, are simply a 'filler' and with all our rain, lots of stuff grows almost...
But in theory, it could work? I have Hoyas here that routinely attach themselves to rocks......surprisingly strongly I must say.......those roots dont come...
I don't see why it wouldn't work- some Euphorbia growers grow very difficult succulent species in pure pumice, which is another type of volcanic, porous,...
Probably take about 100,000 years and probably more for this volcanic rock to break down.......mind you, by then I might have actually gotten H linearis to...
Has anyone had any luck with rooting this Hoya, and how was it done ?. I have the one plant and am trying to increase stock in case I lose the mother...
... I rooted mine in semi-hydroponics, with a clear plastic bag over the pot for nearly 2 weeks, then gradually introduced the cutting to regular room air over...
