Hoya serpens Tour Video
I have just uploaded a new Tour Video of Hoya serpens to You Tube. I think it should give you a slightly better idea of what the plant is like compared to a still photograph. Hope you enjoy it! The link is highlighted below.
A Few Words About Root Rot
Lately I have dealt with more cases of Root Rot than I have seen in over two years! I have been seeing complete root rot in both plant trades and purchases that I have made recently. I advise everyone when receiving starter plants to pop them out of their pot and look for thread like roots or roots that lose their outer layer easily when scraped with your thumbnail. Don’t even fool around with them! Snip the entire root ball off with scissors and re-root the remaining stem. Believe me; you will end up with a growing healthy plant at least five times faster by going this route (no pun intended!) I will be posting a new Learning How Production very soon on how I make my own potting mix. These really loose, chunky, airy mixes are crucial to good root health in a Hoya.

Hoya pachyclada Time-lapse Video Has Been Uploaded To You Tube!
A new time-lapse of Hoya pachyclada has been uploaded to You Tube! To see the movie, please click on the center of one of the photos in the slider below. I hope you enjoy it at least a little! It has come to my attention embarrassingly that I had mispelled Hoya pachyclada as Hoya pachylada.
Videos Currently in the Hopper
I have many new videos that will be coming to the site over the next few weeks to few months. I will just name a few for now to tantalize everyone. There are two new Hoya Tours in the works: Hoya pachylada and Hoya Lobbii. There are three new Learning How Video Productions in various stages of completion: Making My Hoya Potting Mix, Re-potting the Severely Root-bound Hoya, and Hoya praetorii – The Cutting Experiment. Finally there are two new Time-lapse videos: One on Hoya pachylada and another on Building a Potting Bench. In addition to the videos, there will be periodic postings on various topics of interest and some great new photos; so stayed tuned!

Hoya patella Meets the Easter Kitty is my newest time-lapse video. This 2 minute movie contains the best ever Hoya patella bloom formation and flower footage that I have been able to obtain. It will be my last patella time-lapse. There is also a lot of humiliating cat footage. I hope you enjoy the film as much as I did making it!
