Hoya lacunosa, a common hoya in Malaysia, was lucky to find one of it is blooming. Another common species.. Hoya finlaysonii growing by the river side. Boon...
I got a list of new plant books expected out in 2009 and I saw that Christine Burton's book is on it. Anyone have any more information on that? Her forum...
Carol, I think the reference to Burton's book being out this year is an educated guess. I saw the mention of Tony Lamb's book too- I really am looking forward...
Awesome photos, Boon Leng, thanks. How big do these two species get in nature? Most of us see H. lacunosa in cultivation as a dangling, mid-size basket plant....
Antone, I think you and Kelly are right, the first photo looks like what is being recognized as H. flagellata. The original description of flagellata reads, in...
Ed Gilding gave me a piece of this hoya, saying he didn't know what it was (he collected it) and i called it H. caudata Mt. Jervais for a long time, until...
No, I don't Mark but I am looking for his card and will try to find out. Amazingly, Tony is not on the computer...but his wife is!!!! Will let you know what...
Well... I thought I had a small collection compared to those people who have hundreds!!! Some of mine are very small, and some have got smaller as I've had to ...
We're still cold... and icy! I'm not a great fan of the ice, but I managed to make it into work Monday and today (Tuesday)... a lot of people couldn't make it...
For those who grow plants mounted - where do you find your mounts? My hoya imbricata may soon be in need of a new one! Oddly their seems to be a pair of...
... Both of these hoya can grow very big in nature, they will climb on trees and rocks, roots will grow from the vein to attach to the branches. ... Some hoya...
I use cork bark which you can find sometimes at pet stores or garden centers but its kinda pricey. If you want to buy in bulk, try contacting Maryland Cork...
My addiction to everything Hoya just began this past summer. Have had a hoya carnosa in the house for many years but living in a colder climate I had no idea...
That's great Lorna...and a good push for the 'Semi-Hydro way'. I think I'll give it a try too! I'm curious about the scent too...if there is any how would you...
Thanks! I purchased some Oyama pots from a guy in Spokane. They are 2 piece and actually made for African violets. Came across his Ebay store and thought the...
Congrats on the blooms! Love the idea of Oyama pots! I use the self watering pots for my semi-hydro's and while they work well, I'm always overfilling and...
Kelly, my praitori did almost the same..It was rooted, however. Very quickly, it grew 2 new leaves and a peduncle...This winter, the 2 new leaves went yellow...
Thanks for the suggestions, Antone! And thanks for the insight into the two leaves! Very interesting. While I love the pictures of the your imbricata's...
I bought some cork this xmas...It was in a shop selling Xmas things, and it was for constructing Nativity Cribs...I got 2 largish pieces, about 2 foot by 1...
For mounts I use Tree Fern slabs. They hold up really well under alot of moisture (it is the trunk of the tree fern, which actually are a mass of roots)... I...
Lorna, My praetorii is not dead but no roots yet. I just transferred it to a Hydroponic system...full fledged...along with the other cuttings from Ted Green...
Carol, Thanks for the additional option! Do you buy the poles or chunks of it? Dominic- Great find! You could always make a nativity scene with the cork and ...
It is not a brand name...a 'homemade' one from a Hydroponics store just south of me. I'm sure I can make one myself from plastic storage containers from...
Joni, I don't have any recommendations, however, there are some pretty cool plans online for building your own with an aquarium or plastic tub, the open type...
