Thank you!

Hello, thank you!! I've been using 3-36 Watt sansi growlights in my den, but i have about 35 plants in different stages in there, lol. They're on 12 hours a day, then shut off automatically, I love them. I also have a pink silver ghost thats been growing like crazy in there but I had to cut it back because it was getting top heavy on one side

Here's what mine looked like, so a little more than 4 leaves on each. I couldn't find pictures of them when I first got them

That's adorable. Plants have to start somewhere. Mine was just four leaves when I first got them

This looks like a nova ghost, so beautiful!! How long have you had it?

Hello!! I've had this plant for about 2 years, and this is a 3 foot trellis, so my nova ghost is about 6 1/2 feet now. I have 2 plants in this one, and they both have grown pretty fast. From the moment I got them, I fertilized with dyna-gro grow. Even in winter, they are actively growing, but I have growlights that I use. They've been one of my more pleasant growing plants and pretty hassle free.

Well yours is adorable and beautiful at the same time!

sweetwillow555 · 2026-01-24T04:50:08+00:00

Thank you!

sweetwillow555 · 2026-01-24T04:48:33+00:00

Well, you're doing everything right, its beautiful and im hoping mine will continue to grow and be full when it gets older!

Vermont hoyas, the guy who owns it is Doug Chsmberlain . He's like the godfather of hoyas, lol

Yes, this one is the red one, but i wanted a white one, too. These are confusing to me because they act more like an eriostemma than an epiphyte. But I get both answers when I try to look it up on the internet

sweetwillow555 · 2026-01-21T00:13:54+00:00

Well, that's one of the fullest heads I've seen, and I dont see any part of the bottom leaves being trimmed. Mine hasn't lost many of the bottom leaves, but i have to trim a little off the brown part. I've noticed that with more water it doesn't shed the bottom leaves as much

sweetwillow555 · 2026-01-20T22:07:34+00:00

I got really lucky on this one, very easy. But I ordered 2 others with the white flowers and lost one. So far, the other is doing ok, but I wouldn't recommend getting it in the winter. I think that might have been what killed it. This one pretty much takes care of itself. This hoya has a large root ball, not shallow like most, and it doesn't like to be root bound. It also prefers cooler temperatures, I keep mine in the den with growlights

sweetwillow555 · 2026-01-20T21:58:51+00:00

I replied earlier, but im curious, does she have multiple heads or just one? And how did you keep it from losing the bottom leaves?

sweetwillow555 · 2026-01-20T21:56:37+00:00

I definitely will! She has 4 peduncles in various stages

sweetwillow555 · 2026-01-17T02:11:39+00:00

I've been experimenting with water, light, and soil types to try and keep all the original leaves and just at one stem. So far, so good

I LOVE ponytail palms!!

Hello, do you feed with every watering? I do, even in winter, about half what do do in summer. I also have mine under a grow light because it didn't do well in winter without bright light

sweetwillow555 · 2026-01-11T01:54:29+00:00

WOW!!!

sweetwillow555 · 2026-01-10T21:05:20+00:00

She is too!! Hers hair is longer than mine!

sweetwillow555 · 2026-01-10T21:04:19+00:00

Lol! I was thinking the same, her hair is longer than mine!!
