I have been asked by a few people to make a video talking about the grow tents that I use to help bloom and grow the more temperamental Hoyas. Well here it is! It is 14 minutes long and shows the assembly process, and what you can do with a grow tent.

Hoya hellwigiana Buds and New Movie is Almost Uploaded!
My new video on setting up and using a grow tent for Hoyas is slowly uploading. It is the largest file that I have ever uploaded to You Tube, so fingers crossed that it works! In the meantime here is a photo I took over the weekend of developing buds on H. hellwigiana:

What I’m Currently Working On and a Healthy Hoya samoensis
I’m currently putting together another Learning How Production on setting up and using a grow tent. I think it will run around 15 minutes and be up in the next few days. I’m still being plagued by Spider Mites (They are nasty little #@&!*&). I just tried a new product called Azamax that has fairly good reviews of people who have used it. I will report back in a few weeks on its effectiveness. Other than that there is not too much going on here other than the daily and weekly Hoya chores and hoping that Spring comes early. Here is a photo I took this morning of an extremely healthy Hoya samoensis. This is only achievable where I live by growing in Leca in a high humidity grow-room.

Just the Flowers Ma’am: Hoya bella
Here is my newest time-lapse video: Just the Flowers Ma’am: Hoya bella. It is the best footage that I have been able to capture thus far of H. bella.
New Movie (My 75th!)
I have just uploaded my 75th video to You Tube. It will take you back to those beautiful warm, humid, lazy, crazy days of summer! I need that right now, as we are predicted to have the coldest week of weather that we have had for the past several winters. I’m pumping around 10 gallons of water into the air with humidifiers just to get the RH to 45%. If the Hoyas can make it through these conditions, they can make it through anything! Here is my newest You Tube video entitled A Visit with Hoya motoskei and Hoya crassifolia:
What’s Coming Up in the Next Few Days on Vermont Hoyas
I have a new first time-bloomer that I will be sharing photos of and developing a page with care tips, and details of how I managed to bloom Hoya tjadasmalangensis. I also have a newly uploaded video tour of Hoya motoskei and Hoya crassifolia that I will be sharing. I’m always working on something here at Vermont Hoyas!
A Visit with Hoya cumingiana
In the interests of beating the winter doldrums, here is a nice green video shot last summer of Hoya cumingiana. I hope it helps explain why I like this Hoya as much as I do!
Just the Flowers Ma’am: Hoya davidcummingii
I have a new first-time bloomer that I will be photographing tonight named Hoya pottsii sp. Thailand IML 1336. In the meantime, here is a new time-lapse video that I put together over the weekend. I hope you enjoy!
Just the Flowers Ma’am: Hoya samoensis
I’m trying out something new with this very recent time-lapse video – sounds of the rain forest! I think it works out quite well.
A Visit with Hoya vitellinoides
It is full-on winter here right now, and pretty tough sledding for the Hoyas in these inhospitable conditions . Here is a new video presentation taken over the summer of Hoya vitellinoides, which I hope will give all of you hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and also an appreciation of this great Hoya.
