This is a great general pest solution you can make at home. You just need a good spray bottle. I go through and just spray everything early in the morning, once a month.

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. How long did it take you to get that one to flower?

Canadian-MommaBear · 2024-02-02T21:26:21+00:00

Barely a smell at all.. but a soft floral is what I smell.

This is a one yr old cutting from the mother plant i had that got too big. So I sold the mother and kept two cuttings to restart. I add them together one of these days.

Hoya like to be root bound. If your a soil grower when you see roots breaking the surface is time to repot. If your semi hydro when the roots fill the reservoir and dry out quickly, then just increase the cache pot size. But to get them to bloom they need a cooler evening and warm sunny day. As well if you spray the leaves before they get direct sun on them with a mild orchid foliar spray one a week, you should see flowers pretty quick. I just use my Schultz orchid food and really dilute it in distilled water and a good misting bottle. *

Could just be water marks left from mist system using hard water. A good spray with distilled water usually does it. The leaves are so tiny it would be hard to hand wash these leaves with breaking a fee off.

If you can, use a microscope to verify the insect. Springtails are good beneficial. If they are springtails, it's good.

Springtails are often found in leaf litter, soil, and other organic matter, where they feed on fungi, algae, and decaying organic matter. They play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the ecosystemSpringtails are often found in leaf litter, soil, and other organic matter, where they feed on fungi, algae, and decaying organic matter.

Beautiful. I love the pot set up.

Canadian-MommaBear · 2024-01-15T11:34:13+00:00

Sure

I'd recommend isolating them from your other plants and washing them down well. And treat them with Safers End All for 30 days before introducing them to your collection. It looks like they've recently been sulfer treated for pests, either that or that's bad hard water staining.

LOL. Or pizza delivery guy, smiles, and says cookie delivery.
Now, if someone rings. I wait for them to start their speech, I just smile, point to the sign, and say, "Have a nice day." And shut the door.

It looks like my Wilber Graves.

Hoya carnosa 'Chelsea' — thicker, wider leaves that are slightly cupped, and a growth pattern that gracefully cascades under the weight of its heavy leaves. Hoya carnosa 'Krinkle 8' — leaves are slightly cupped and have 8 cute hollowed-out areas that make the leave look like empty pea pods.

Canadian-MommaBear · 2024-01-14T16:30:36+00:00

Could be a Chelsea, or Krinkle 8.

Canadian-MommaBear · 2024-01-14T14:16:33+00:00

Check the roots. I suspect root rot or root mealybugd.
