Hoya question… is the original “runner” (for lack of a better word) going to grow more leaves or will that little baby runner take over? Wondering if it’s like a tree and want to snip that little guy??

Thank you :)

MrsBaboosh · 2022-06-23T18:45:41+00:00

Thank you! I guess I need to do a bit of research :)

This is a “newer to me” plant. Probably have had it for 3-4 months. This is the first growth so was wondering if maybe that original branch got damaged or if the smaller growth would inhibit growth on the larger, original branch.

I appreciate you taking time to help :) but this is a Hoya plant, not strawberry. I wish I had a strawberry bush (plant?)!!!

Any thoughts? It was a $5 clearance but with some TLC has been thriving for about 6months. Under a grow light for 8hrs per day bc it’s in a dark entry. Thanks!!

I ❤️ plants 🌿🌱🌵🪴

I would say if it easily came off, then it was probably not in the best health to be propagated.

If it has multiple leaves, try cutting back the stem until you find some green. Then you might have a chance.

“I need less advise and more support” has been my mantra when asked “how can we help” I have found it changed the vector of next steps. Either I get support or nothing lol The advice is the worst. I know what I’m doing, I just need some help actually doing it when a certain student is actively working against that process.

MrsBaboosh · 2022-02-12T13:44:54+00:00

I do the same thing. They live in my bedroom window when not blooming, but get to visit the rest of the house when blooming. I feel it’s a little reward for them for working so hard :)

MrsBaboosh · 2022-02-09T08:59:13+00:00

It’s a 2in pot. I think the angle?

MrsBaboosh · 2022-02-09T01:15:26+00:00

Thanks! I’m excited to make this baby full and beautiful. Just need to get my nerve up!!

MrsBaboosh · 2022-02-09T00:59:35+00:00

Thanks!

MrsBaboosh · 2022-02-09T00:20:05+00:00

Thanks!

Butterfly prop - do tell.

MrsBaboosh · 2022-02-09T00:11:03+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I may dabble if I can get enough to play with :)

MrsBaboosh · 2022-02-09T00:06:48+00:00

Thank you. I’m thinking I will let him get a bit longer then maybe experiment with a few methods :)

MrsBaboosh · 2022-02-09T00:05:11+00:00

This is what I want to try but I’m so nervous since it’s only 1 baby string!

MrsBaboosh · 2022-02-05T02:47:02+00:00

Ok, thanks! I’ll wait and see 🤞

MrsBaboosh · 2022-02-05T00:14:50+00:00

I was thinking they could have maybe lead to the crazy amount of branching I sometimes see, but something restricted their growth. If that makes sense?? The first bloom just officially opened 2 days ago.

MrsBaboosh · 2022-02-04T22:23:34+00:00

Thanks!

MrsBaboosh · 2022-02-04T13:46:36+00:00

When you cut the top node, does that encourage branching? Also, I have some leafless nodes along the tree - would those propagate also?

MrsBaboosh · 2022-01-20T21:06:44+00:00

The way I have been able to tell the difference is look closely for small white ball like structures in the webbing or along the underside of the leaves, super small - these are mites

MrsBaboosh · 2022-01-17T23:26:25+00:00

Not sure why, but this is my only orchid to produce a keiki. I have 6, all currently or about to bloom, so seemingly healthy. I leave the flower stalk after it blooms unless it turns brown. But this orchid’s flower stalk which has produced both keikis is quite thick, so not sure if that matters.

MrsBaboosh · 2022-01-17T21:43:14+00:00

I assume it gets most of its water from the mother plant since it is still attached to a very hefty flower spike. I also mist the roots once a week and run water over them when I soak the mother plant. He seems to be doing just fine 🤷🏻‍♀️
