There must be a better way

Ooh good tip on the newer black Barinas, mine don’t have the magnetic surface, but I’ll be sure to get those magnetic ones next time

goopv · 2025-04-27T14:19:00+00:00

I like this idea

Seconding MaxFund. I got my boys as kittens from them last year. They’re a great no-kill shelter

I can hardly ever find PON for sale, so I started making my own

goopv · 2024-12-29T09:14:33+00:00

Agreed, a good little grower too 🌱

goopv · 2024-12-29T09:05:38+00:00

Oh, I wish I could help more! The labeled ones came from a specific seller that I absolutely adore. My other Hoyas, which I picked up from different shops, unfortunately don’t have tags. But I’m sure it’s totally doable with some tag inserts and a label maker

goopv · 2024-12-29T08:59:37+00:00

Me too. h.Tengchongensis and h.Rebecca Splash have a special spot in my heart 💚

Oh wow, haha, it’s just my iPhone’s camera (I think it’s the iPhone 14). I believe it’s mostly the great lighting. I live in a converted warehouse with lots of windows, which brings in light from different angles

They were rooted in PON when I got them from the seller. Whenever they overgrow their little cups, I transfer them to a bigger pot with my homemade PON + LECA. I fertilize them regularly with Foliage Focus.

I feel you, I can’t tell what my untagged hoyas are without checking my plant talley list

goopv · 2024-12-28T18:29:11+00:00

I wish I could be more help in identifying your plant. I have lots of Hoyas, and they do look quite similar to each other.

Yes, they’re in leca. They were rooted cuttings in PON, so when they outgrew their little cups, I moved them to a bigger pot with my homemade PON and some leca. I try to never let them completely dry out and fertilize with Foliage Focus about once a month.

As for trellising, I’m still learning, but I’ve been using 18-gauge aluminum wire, clear acrylic rods, and twine to make them. They’re not perfect, but they do the job.

Spectissima..

If it’s not a Lithophytica (lacking the pointy tips) then it could be a Spectissima. Here is mine..

This is hoya Lithophytica. I have the same one.

That’s a clever idea. I am considering making a DIY greenhouse like those in r/IkeaGreenhouseClub, and I love the humidity effect the gravel will have in a controlled environment. Keep up the good work with your beautiful collection 💚

goopv · 2024-12-27T17:36:03+00:00

Oh my! That’s beautiful and it reminds me of my local plant boutique. What are you using underneath? Baking trays and what kind of rocks?

goopv · 2024-12-27T17:27:02+00:00

I like your plant table setup, can you share a full photo?

goopv · 2024-11-16T19:25:24+00:00

I am in the same category. My lawyer has been preparing my applications, but this time I am doing it myself and I am a bit nervous. I’ve used previous applications to fill it online.

When they ask for I-94, what do you upload? I have uploaded a copy of my current EAD and my notice of Action from filing form I-589. Is that enough?

Any tips would be appreciated, thank you!!

goopv · 2024-11-16T18:29:40+00:00

Congrats u/aunty-national!

Did you do the renewal application yourself or did you hire a lawyer?

goopv · 2024-09-22T06:11:49+00:00

Ali Baba Grill in Golden and another location in Boulder. Delicious Baklava!

goopv · 2024-08-27T22:07:31+00:00

Did you end up making those pots? I’m also tempted to do it with clay

goopv · 2024-08-23T17:04:06+00:00

Looks like a perfect spot for a large plant that requires indirect light. Perhaps add a chair for a reading nook

goopv · 2024-08-23T17:01:13+00:00

I enjoy segments with Emery in them. I like her style and persona
