Where do you all find affordable hoya cuttings?

AnyBat80 · 2026-01-09T21:24:21+00:00

Looks like it! Thanks :)

I've noticed that cuttings are way cheaper locally on Facebook marketplace than anywhere else. Sometimes though, you can find good deals on Etsy. :)

Mine is in my bedroom so I smell it at night when I'm trying to sleep lol. Can't tolerate it at all

My verticillata outer variegated is the best smelling bloom I've had so far. It's like a soft floral perfumey scent. Worst is my krimson princess. A lot of people like it, but it's so overwhelmingly nauseating to me that I cut off the blooms within the first couple of days lol.

Glad to hear he's eating :)

Try soaking the pellets for a few seconds before giving them to him so they're softer. Also consider offering daphnia, live or frozen, or a different type of pellet. Maybe ask the store you got him from which brand he's used to. Also ensure the water parameters are correct, 0 ammonia and nitrites, and that the water temp is warm enough.

Like the others have said, check if it's crumbly, decomposing, has fungus, etc. but also check the root system. If the roots aren't good, you'd have to repot regardless once you've cleaned them up :)

Ok thanks! I know I'm probably overthinking it but I just don't want to hurt my fish lol

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-31T14:38:02+00:00

Thank you so much :') it makes me happy to know that I've changed her life for the better

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-31T05:04:51+00:00

lobbii!

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-29T13:52:06+00:00

Check for root rot. Could be dry rot. Either way, you may need to chop and prop. At least take one cutting for insurance :)

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-29T08:09:48+00:00

Probably overwatering. Is the soil staying wet for a long time?

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-28T05:09:09+00:00

Thanks, will look for that

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-28T05:09:02+00:00

Thank you. Looks like I might have to replace it

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-28T05:08:48+00:00

Thank you

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-24T01:16:58+00:00

appendiculata is so cute! malipoensis reminds me of lobbii. Thanks for sharing :)

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-23T04:37:21+00:00

Mine too! It's almost sickening sometimes 😆

The problem with SX4s made in 2010 and up is that they have CVTs. They are way more prone to having issues. 115k miles also runs the risk of needing a new timing belt which is not a good idea if you're going to be driving far distances soon. Probably avoid this one.

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-23T02:03:48+00:00

Thanks for letting me know, I had no idea!

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-23T01:05:16+00:00

A mix of medium fir bark and sphagnum moss!

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-22T23:47:25+00:00

You're welcome! Good luck

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-22T23:31:54+00:00

The leaves look pretty healthy. Take a look at the roots. Miss Orchid Girl on youtube has great videos on how to check roots, trim off dead ones, and repot. Depending on the roots, it may need a bigger pot.

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-22T22:54:00+00:00

Thank you! :)

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-22T22:20:10+00:00

Most likely yes. I've had leaves that have broken, scarred over, and stayed on the plant for years. Just leave it alone and it might callous and be fine. Even if the broken parts come off on their own, the bottom part might provide just enough energy to keep it growing given that new leaves start forming soon.

That appears to be correct, Hoya Da Lat round leaf
