The stronger of my two specimens was growing in soil, but with one watering mistake I took care of that. I watered it, and within 2-3 days it started to fail. It is amazing to me how quickly root rot can set in a destroy a plant. I tried taking a cutting, but it too did not make it. I was pretty upset, because getting these rare Hoyas is a difficult proposition especially these days.
