Neon Pothos is a lovely plant with bright yellow and medium green leaves. I bought this one from Lowe’s. It was in a 6″ pot and was all leaves with no vines. Now it’s in a 10″ square self-watering pot and it’s hard to find a spot to get in there to water. It doesn’t […]
Fernwood Mikado is a wonderful little plant that grows and grows and grows. Late last summer I divided the one in two and both have been popping out new pups all winter long. It’s time to divide these up in separate little pots for office window plants. Once I got the larger plants out of […]
I purchased two small H. linearis plants from Hirt’s Gardens in April, 2022. I put them together in a small hanging pot and hung it from a shelf in a bedroom about 8 feet from a west facing window. The two plants were clipped close to the soil when they arrived but much to my […]
This was one of the last batch of Hoyas I purchased in October, 2022. I put this in the grow tent and had it up too high too close to the light. I wasn’t watering enough so new leaves were turning purple/brown and falling off. I moved it down a little but still wasn’t watering […]
Hoya brevialata is a plant that does well inside the grow tent in the shade. I have it directly under one of my carnosa varieties which provides nice shade for more delicate plants. I took this one out of the tent for a few weeks and had it in a west facing window but it […]
Hoya sunrise is not looking it’s sunniest best right now even though it’s been in the grow tent for months. This plant was closer to the grow light but I moved it down the grid. It has grown 14 new vines and quite a few new leaves. Many new leaves were yellowing and dropping off. […]
This Hoya has amazing leaves. They come in soft and fuzzy and purple before hardening up like a thin crispy green wafer. The more light they get the more bespeckled they become. The vine looks dead but it’s not. It’s truly a marvelous plant to behold. I love this one. It is definitely one of […]
Let’s face it. This one is a bit of a biatch. I bought this one from Land of Alice in October, 2022. This is probably all it will ever be. I’ve seen some pictures of beautiful specimens online. This plant will never be one of them. I had it in the grow tent all winter. […]
H. nicholsoniae is one spectacular plant. This is definitely one of my favorites and ranks up there with H. caudauta. I purchased this plant from Steve’s Leaves in August, 2022. It was just a sprig of a plant when it arrived. This is another plant that benefits from it’s close proximity to the fireplace. It […]
Hoya rangsan was part of a batch of Hoyas I purchased fall ’22. I got this one from Land of Alice. When it arrived the leaves seemed a little thinner and lighter in color. I potted this up in the ABG/coconut husk chip mix and hung it in the grow tent a little more than […]
I love Peperomias almost as much as I love Hoyas. I’m particularly fond of the vining ones like this Peperomia scandens variegata. This is a beautiful light loving plant for a sunny window. I purchased a small 4″ plant in May ’22 from Hirt’s Gardens. It grew so much that by fall I needed to […]
All I have is a little cutting to pot up. When this little plant starts growing it will be quite lovely with it’s little squared leaves. If you want to see a better example click the link A Visit with Hoya rotundiflora by Doug Chamberlain. This is but one of his many beautiful Hoyas featured […]
You can’t tell from the picture but I’m not particularly fond of H. kerrii. I know it’s an internet sensation. People love it in all it’s variegated forms. I’m just not that crazy about this one. Why? Because the leaves take so long to harden off and until then the slightest touch can knock them […]
This is shaping up to be a fabulous little plant. I ordered this October 1, 2022, from Land of Alice. It has thrived in the grow tent all winter. I keep it under a carnosa for a little shade. I still have it in the same little pot it arrived in which is a kind […]
