Ah, another kerrii fan! There was a time that I could not pass up a kerrii. Now that I have most of the variations, I can finally control myself! Clones vary. It usually has something to do with where that particular clone originated in the wild, but it sometimes has to do with "sports." A "sport" is just an unusual growth that someone removes from the main plant and roots to grow on it's own. Sometimes the growth goes back to normal, and sometimes it continues to grow in it's "different" way, which results in a sport. The weird Jades, like 'Hobbit' and 'Gollum' are sports of a regular Jade. Anyway, could one of them be 'Hairy Kerrii' or the veined clone? I have these two in addition to the standard kerrii, and you can't really see a difference in photos. In fact, unless you were very observant, you might not even realize there was a difference until someone pointed it out to you. But leaf size does vary a lot. Here are the different ones I grow: the veined clone... ...'Hairy Kerrii'... ...variegated... ... and below is the reverse variegated, which doesn't keep its coloring in the winter for me.

I believe on other threads, there've been at least several suggestions by some that the varieg Kerrii seems to do better (or be less problematic) when kept on the drier side. A number of us who've grown it DO find it to be sort of temperamental, esp. those of us who've lost it!!! As opposed to my all green Kerrii, which grows w/ no problems. I don't recall how I had rooted my late varieg Kerrii cutting, but DO recall that it took over ONE YEAR to do anything (that is to say show top growth). Onca, I'm just letting you know this 'cause it can be quite the waiting game (esp. since like many, I don't have a greenhouse, it may go faster for those who do). Currently, I have a small cutting of reverse varieg Kerrii (1 node & 1 leaf) gotten in June 04, which just now is starting to do something. Finally, it grew a new stem & two small leaves, but that's taken 13 months. I've forgotten if I started rooting it in water or mix (I tend to start most of mine in water when possible). If that doesn't work, then I switch to mix or all pumice. I don't know that I would have chosen to start it in sand, curious: I would have tried water, or AV mix w/ extra perlite or pumice or even all pumice, but sand? Also, how do you know you have lots of roots, can you see them in the sand? Hopefully, you're not taking the cutting out to check are you? If so, that would slow down new growth as well. Just so you know, you may be in for long wait, & it may help to pot it as small as possible.

My experience w/ green H kerrii is that it's quite happy to grow all year long (I grow indoors only). Mine loves to grow long bare vines in Spring & then fill in afterwards. Reverse Kerrii is another story altogether -- in 2.5 yrs. I've had the cutting, it has grown TWO leaves, both deformed in shape. My variegated Kerri grows Hydro & seems to have slowed down for Winter (I only got it in Oct. 08, so am still new to its winter habits). All green H Kerrii is one of the most vigorous Hoyas I've had to date. Don't be surprised if it keeps growing all winter.
