New plants from Steve’s Leaves! I love Steve’s Leaves! I can always count on nice healthy plants from Steve’s Leaves. Today’s Hoya haul was no exception. The box arrived in great shape and everything inside was packaged nicely. They wrap the Hoyas in paper but it all fit nicely in the box without scrunching them […]
I purchased H. bella from Land of Alice about September 2022. I had this in the grow tent over winter and it did so-so. It grew some leaves. It lost some leaves. In February I pulled it out of the tent and put it on a shelf in front of the window. I gave it […]
I purchased H. cumingiana October, 2022, from Steve’s Leaves and this is a vigorous grower. It arrived as a small plant with five rooted cuttings. It grew well in the grow tent as long as it had plenty of light. When I moved it down farther to give it more room to grow up it […]
I purchased H. cutis-porcelana from Steve’s Leaves in September, 2022. This one grew longer vines and a few new leaves in the grow tent but new leaves quickly yellowed and fell off. I find this one to be a little persnickety about watering. Too much or too little and the leaves fall off. I have […]
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 […]
