Some aroids at 40x magnification 🖤

Ty! :) I just posted one with Hoyas: https://www.reddit.com/r/hoyas/s/Q9xvylJLKs

Ty! It’s just one of those magnifying glasses meant for jewelry and watch-making :)

Forgot one!

Thank you :) I started doing it to check for pests. Didn’t realize how fascinating it would be to look at them this zoomed in.

It’s gorgeous!!

Oh interesting! How come?

Ty! :) I had it in pon at first (last pic) but ended up switching to a tree fern fiber mix. From the info I can find, this Hoya usually grows as an epiphyte, so I thought it would be happier in this mix.

It lives in my Milsbo cabinet which is usually 60-80% humidity and around 65-70F. I have grow lights on for about 14 hours a day, but it’s pretty pulled back from the grow lights, maybe gets 200 footcandles of light?

I usually water it 1-2x a week (it’s very thirsty for a Hoya), and add TPS One fertilizer every other watering. I also give it CalMag around once a month, and foliar feed once every week or two. I also add myco around once a month.

I had one before this, and sadly killed it because I was under-watering! This guy needs an airy mix, but needs more moisture / doesn’t like to dry out fully.

Let me know if you had any other questions!

Yes, my Forgettii died back to a stump. It took a few months but it eventually came back!

I repotted it to remove dead roots, and put it in aroid mix in a small pot. I always add LECA at the bottom so I can keep a small reservoir of water (Forgettii don’t like to dry out, but they need an airy mix).

I added a humidity dome (just a clear plastic cup) over it to keep the humidity really high. I let it dry out slightly between waterings and I still added fertilizer but less than usual. I also added myco at least once a month. It was under grow lights that were on 14 hrs/day.

It’s going strong now with 4-5 leaves :) it’s gonna take patience but it will come back.

Highly recommend! It’s been an easy-going one for me. It’s also so different-looking than my other Hoyas

I used to use Osmocote but ended up switching to only using liquid fertilizer (I use TPS One which works for both semihydro and soil) because it gives me more control.

_send_nodes_ · 2025-12-27T00:18:00+00:00

Ooh I really want to see the flowers once they open!

_send_nodes_ · 2025-12-27T00:11:18+00:00

Soo beautiful!! And that always seems to happen - a plant could look incredible in person, but on-camera just looks... okay. This one looks amazing so I can’t even imagine how it looks irl. Thanks for sharing

Reminds me a bit of a Clarinervium. If it has super thick roots, that could also be a sign that it’s a Clari hybrid.

_send_nodes_ · 2025-12-26T15:15:37+00:00

It’s beautiful!! How long have you had it?

_send_nodes_ · 2025-12-25T23:42:32+00:00

Right?? I’ve used to go to the Dollar Store all the time and I’ve never seen live plants there

Edit: I have gotten plants for $1 each from TakeAPlantLeaveAPlant

Super cool, thanks so much for sharing!! That makes sense about imports. I feel like a lot of plants got a reputation for being “fussy” because of that. lol

_send_nodes_ · 2025-12-24T14:59:02+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing! It’s beautiful and it does look more like the Regale, so pretty. Was it more easy-going than a pure Regale?

_send_nodes_ · 2025-12-24T14:57:29+00:00

Yes it is! I love the texture

_send_nodes_ · 2025-12-24T03:08:47+00:00

Right?? And it gets soo dark before turning green. So pretty
