It took a very long time but my H. bella that I started from my own seedpod have finally started to grow well. Here they are in their little 2 inch pots. Tomorrow I will show what they look like when I combine and transplant them into a larger pots.
Bedroom Hoyas (Final Room of the House)
These are the two Hoyas in the bedroom; my giant H. chinghungensis and a plant that is closely related to H.nummularioides that I got as a very small cutting from Christine Burton years ago.
Bathroom Hoyas
We have two bathrooms and there is a plant in each room. H. DS-70 on top and H. Rebecca on the bottom.
Kitchen Hoya
I only have one Hoya in the kitchen, because we have a number of bird feeders, and we like to watch the birds out of those windows. Right now only Hoya papaschonii lives in the kitchen. These are all plants started from seed this year.
Living Room Hoyas
Here are two photos of the Hoyas in the windows in our living room:
Dining Room Hoyas
Below are my dining room Hoyas; I have to run a T-5 strip light here, because the roof overhang cuts out too much light to keep plants in the space. Note the pipe insulation on the electrical cord; we have a cat that likes to chew on them. If we ever have a fire, it will be because of that darned cat chewing wires!
Guest Room Hoyas
Below is our guest room with only one window. I could sneak another plant into this window if I had to!
Cat Room Hoyas
This is a spare bedroom that we call the cat room as it is where we keep the cat littler boxes. We have two windows in the room. Top photo contains a couple of hanging Dischidia with Hoyas below. I don’t have the time to name all of the Hoyas in these photos and look up their correct spellings so the photos will have to do.
Tour of Hoyas in the Regular House
Over the next week or so I will show the Hoyas sitting in windows in the house. Most of these will cease growing and go into hibernation over the winter months. The goal is to keep them alive until a late spring day when they can move back outside once again for the short Vermont summer.
Below are the windows in the room we call the computer room as it is where I do all of my computer work including writing this blog.
Hoya celata Blooms For Last Time Before Winter Sets In
Hoya celata managed to bud up and flower as the days are quickly growing much shorter here in October. This plant now resides in the regular house, and seems to like the conditions.
