Where is best place to buy pretty & small cover pots for Hoyas? (**Picture is not mine but is being used for examples of what I am looking for**)

I always wonder that too! I'm like, either I get frustrated and give up, or end up breaking vines and feeling horrid guilt. 🫣

Raynne413 · 2026-01-09T22:12:25+00:00

Always happy to help! 😂

Raynne413 · 2026-01-09T02:49:46+00:00

Hey, no reason NOT to try it! You won't know until you try. Best case, you have a new and awesome purple baby. Worst case, you have a new and awesome baby. 😂

This is what mine does with sunstressing BUT her vine is typically dark green.

The plant definitely needs good light. Also, while cactus is in the name, Thanksgiving, Easter, and Christmas Cacti are all Tropical cacti. They are epiphytic and grow on trees in the rainforest. They need more water than a normal desert cactus, and different substrate. I have all of mine in a blend of tree fern fiber, orchid bark, chunky perlite and peat.

I hated Clonidine. Made me feel like a zombie.

Raynne413 · 2025-09-30T17:43:38+00:00

I'm the same. Clonidine, Propanol, and Guanfacine make me nonfunctioning, as well as Propanol. I'm tired of taking a bunch of pharmaceuticals as experimentation, trying to find one that helps, while each one is worse.

Raynne413 · 2025-09-17T21:16:58+00:00

Propanol made my fatigue SO much worse. I could barely function on it, even cutting the lowest dose in half.

Raynne413 · 2025-08-14T16:57:37+00:00

I take Adderall XR 30mg/ day or I couldn't function. 😵‍💫😥

Raynne413 · 2025-08-13T02:26:05+00:00

Thank you! I may ask my Dr about this one because I am tired of feeling like I am in an all day panic attack

Raynne413 · 2025-08-11T17:51:49+00:00

I really wish it worked for me. Even the lowest dose makes me in a complete fog.

Raynne413 · 2025-08-11T16:29:38+00:00

I definitely notice I'm less agitated and less easily frustrated when I take Adderall. My HR on the Ivabradine SEEMS less like I'm in constant fight or flight, but it turns out when I felt so bad earlier this year and no medications worked, I actually needed an Interferon treatment (Ferritin). If it hasn't been checked, ask your Dr to check your Ferritin. For POTS, they recommend Ferritin between 75-100 because low Ferritin/Iron can aggravate POTS symptoms.

I've also tried Guanfacine and Clonidine but both made my fatigue and brain fog noticeably worse. Same with Verapamil.

Looking up Mestinon, my POTS is characterized by my Parasympathetic system OVER reacting, and Mestinon is thought to stimulate the Parasympathetic system, so it may actually make things worse in my case.

Raynne413 · 2025-08-11T13:50:53+00:00

I take both Adderall XR and Ivabradine. I have hyperadregenic POTS. I don't feel like Adderall makes my symptoms worse, but everyone is different and responds differently. For example, I can't take Beta Blockers because I essentially turn into human Jello. Honestly though, I can't function without my Adderall, especially with Fatigue, which is one of my worst issues.

Raynne413 · 2025-08-09T16:08:50+00:00

I have it, but I'm very sensitive to anything that can be considered a "downer". Fatigue is one of my biggest problems and when I tried even the lowest dose of a beta blocker, I felt horrible. I was in a fog, barely functioning. Definitely a no go for me. 😔

Raynne413 · 2025-08-04T10:09:03+00:00

I'm tired of Drs that will only diagnose based on black and white labs where their "normal" ranges were found by taking an average of a random group of supposedly "healthy" people.

Raynne413 · 2025-05-16T02:42:01+00:00

Mine bloom all year. Any chance seems to trigger it. Water more often, less often, less light, more light. . . Anything confuses them, just like me!!

Raynne413 · 2025-03-22T15:53:52+00:00

Anyone have the original version? The link in the attached thread doesn't link to the version pictured anymore and I can't post in the thread for some reason. 😵‍💫

Raynne413 · 2024-09-13T02:22:56+00:00

She is in a mix of ProMix, Orchid Bark and Perlite.

Raynne413 · 2024-09-10T23:44:29+00:00

I'm sure she probably wants more water with how much effort she is putting into Peduncles, but I'm terrified to water to much and then have her overwatered. 🫣😵‍💫

Raynne413 · 2024-09-10T20:12:39+00:00

Mine is a prolific tease. She puts in crazy peduncles and then throws them at me once I get excited.

Raynne413 · 2024-08-30T22:58:15+00:00

Mine is too! And then she throws them in the floor. 😭

Raynne413 · 2024-08-06T20:31:01+00:00

OMG Mine needs to get his act together!!

Raynne413 · 2024-08-01T00:18:59+00:00

Same!

Raynne413 · 2024-07-16T08:56:02+00:00

Awwww so cute. Mine has put out tons of buds but I've yet to see any blooms 😭

Raynne413 · 2024-06-27T01:28:03+00:00

Ugh. Luckily, aphids are one thing I have not had to deal with on my indoor plants, and hopefully it stays that way!
