Eh, I like it anyways. Will be pretty nice all grown up too!

There is no second pic though...

Aren't the violet barn plants tiny?

Using my phone for this, it is giving me trouble about posting pics. I cut off the yellow bits, and stuck the cutting in water. Should be alright. And yes, yes they are tiny. And the cut leaves. :/ it makes more sense to me to order cuttings if you have the option.

Many Hoya people branch into Dischidias, and D. ruscifolia is one of my most favorite ones. It grows fast, branches easily (unlike a large majority of Hoyas!), and blooms very fast (6 month from cutting) and often, practically all the time.

I was trying to stave off another plant group addiction. Too late. ;) I really do like this, thanks for the picture greentoe and the information Denise. I am doing the perlite, haven't decided what kind of potting mix I am going to use. I am thinking a mix with those hydroton clay balls? And does anyone know when to replant these little violet barn plants? I will post some pictures of my growing hoya collection later, I have some questions about the others too. I will keep them in the perlite for now, and soak them in a tray like Denise suggested since they are already in there.

I either use the hydroton as it's intended (semi-hydro growing) or I use my soil mix of preference (which is coir and perlite). Some people do mix the hydroton stones in with soil, so I'm sure you can get some opinions about that. As for repotting, I always move new plants into my mix when I get them - they may need moving up to a larger pot, sometimes I actually move them to a smaller pot or leave them in the same size. But you don't have to repot them until they outgrow the pot. I just prefer to use my mix because I know I can water it right in my mix.

Is that a 50/50 mix? I have never used coir as a planting medium before, anything else to know?

I think those from violet barn should be repotted in a new potting mix. As I was advised to do it and now all three of them look like they'll start growing again. Unfortunately for Krimson Queen, I think the repotting might have been too late... it doesn't look good at all. So they might use moss of some kind in their mix after all. I know they use vermiculite and that too can clog the draining holes.

Sounds good. I will get them into four inch terra cotta pots pretty quick, with a better draining medium. I have 2 inch terra cotta pots too, if those are still too big for these midgets?

Yeap, 4" could be too big for those. I potted them up in 3" transparent cups. :)
