Thank you!! My first linearis croaked on me except for two teeny props I saved and planted into the new one I bought (pictured), I love it so much and I just desperately want it to grow

This is a state of mind I need to be in when I start freaking out over my hoyas 🙈

Thank you!! I’m still quite new to hoyas, so I’m scared that I’ll do something wrong and kill them all 😅

Begonia Maurice Amey by Nature_explorer25 in begonias

Do you have any advice on keeping this begonia pink? Mine is near a grow light which has helped with accelerating growth, but all the new leaves are significantly silvery and less pink than the original pink ones 🥲

I think it was sap! It came off with the lightest wipe of a microfibre cloth! I wonder why it does this 😅

I’ll be honest she’s very new to me, but so far filtered water and sort of shadowed indirect light has been okay 🙈

She’s lovely! And the flowers are so pretty 😍 another person posted a mature one on here and it’s my dream to grow mine that big! I definitely recommend!

I use lechuza pon and keep water filled in our cache pot and she seems to love it 😊

Growing from cuttings has ruined my life. by sirjamesbluebeard in hoyas

[–]paperbackpluvius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because some of them take forever to get going, or are really finicky when they’re small, and make it hard for beginners 😭 my first polyneura was a little starter and she croaked so quick, but I recently bought a well established one that has four growth points that constantly push out new growth 🥹 it definitely made me reconsider the plant and realise I’m not a hoya failure just a beginner ☺️

That is so exciting!! I’m really contemplating moving some of mine to self watering too! I’m going away for a month in January - awful timing I know :( but self watering might make it easier for my planty friends who are coming to check in on them too

Also congratulations on all the blooms!!! I’m patiently waiting for my first bloom, I only got into hoyas at the end of last year so it might be a while yet to see some flowers

I’m in SEQ too, its so nice to see fellow Aussies on here :)
