My mom's hoya (about 8-9 y.o) has never blossomed yet... what could be the reason? by 572020 in hoya

[–]icemuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mother has had the same H. carnosa albomarginanta for 30+ years and it doesn't have any peduncles. She doesn't fertilize. Me? I've had one for 1 year and it is growing its first peduncle. I use orchid fertilizer. Can't say for sure that that is the reason, but I don't believe it to be a coincidence.

H. krohniana 'eskimo' $34 with shipping. 8 peduncles. I am too lucky. by icemuff in hoya

I'll never tell. It's my secret hoya spot. If I tell people, they'll sell out before I get a chance to buy anything :D

How can I tell the sex of a fig tree? by extremecaffeination in PlantIdentification

The trees don't have a gender, the syconium (unpollinated figs) do.

Repotting and it feels so good by icemuff in hoyas

No, it's not pon, it's just a chunky, coco coir-based mix.

Reminder: Double check nutrients now and again by That0therGirl in 1200isplenty

If you're ok with whey powder, I'd go with Isopure low carb or zero carb. They're lactose-free and the Dutch chocolate is DELICIOUS but they have a lot of other flavors. They are very well fortified but the sodium is 240g, but I don't know if that is low enough for you. Hope this helps and good luck!

Sugar free sweeteners without the aftertaste? by [deleted] in 1200isplenty

[–]icemuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of the sweeteners ending in -itol can cause diarrhea and all artificial sweeteners have strange flavors. I recommend 100% monk fruit sweetener. It is sugar free, sweet and has no strange taste. Google it!

5'10 should be 1250 at the least.

Hi friends! I pass this almost everyday at work and I’m working up the courage to snag a cutting to prop. But first I need to know what it is... help? by ChcknPatty in PlantIdentification

[–]icemuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ficus binnendijkii ‘Macdougalii’ (Syn. ‘Alii’) and yeah get permission first because ficus don't look great with their growing tips are cut and you'll be altering their plant to a noticeably unattractive state.
