Hoya krohniana is doing well and putting on prodigious growth in the basement tent. Here is a photo of some buds from this morning:

My plant is now getting a little bigger and has just flowered for the second time on the old peduncle that came with the cutting when I received it.

I have many of my Hoyas now growing with this hanging wire trellis that I developed and for the most part it is working out quite well. Here is Hoya soligamiana using the hanging trellis with a clear pot so that I can more easily see when to water.

Hoya soligamiana is another spieces that has come back to me after I lost the roots to rot in 2021. Don’t wait too long to take cuttings of your plants if you suspect that root rot has taken hold, or you will be likely to lose that plant.

Just a small rooted cutting but it has flowered on two peduncles and so I grabbed a photo this morning.

I came about as close to losing this one as you can get, but my 2 leaf remaining cutting that did nothing for months finally pulled though and flowered. This is a very beautiful flower that only lasts for about a day and a half.

Here is a photo of the buds of a cutting I received from a friend that came with the name Hoya GN-01. There is a slightly complicated history of this plant which I will go into very soon after the flowers open.

Thanks to my friend Naomi, Hoya papaschonii has come back to me after having lost it last winter to root rot. A big shout out to Naomi from Vermont!

It took quite a while in the cool basement grow tent for the flowers to fully open but open they did. There is no detectable scent with these blooms.

Here is one of my smaller grow tents in the basement, which is doing far better this year with a larger light that throws off more heat. I can keep it in the low to mid 70s during the day now, which is far better then the high 60s of last winter. That couple with going back to tap water is making for a better winter for all of the plants held inside.
