Mine have had entire years where they sulked and didn't put out a shoot, but then they got their feet under them and took off later on. What are your growing conditions? And which species are you growing?

Nianyu. Well.. I have the obscura, the cv mini belle, cv mathide, krimson queen, diptera, hoya fungii, and australis lizard isle. Just recently I got a carnosa thinking maybe I should have started with the beginner labeled species. My home was build by my grandfather, I'm pretty sure it was build around the time sky lights became fashionable because we have them everywhere. I do have them shaded with thin bamboo but it still gets plenty of sun. It's a north facing window I'm not really knowledgeable about sun exposure yet, but I have four skylights in that room and I figure they must get some of the rays from the other 3. It's not a huge living room.

Oh gosh, I would LOVE that house your grandfather built, Melo7! I adore skylights. In fact, I keep having Solatube "skylights" put in all my dark spots in my house. I think some plants really do grow well in the light from these types of "windows."

As far as growing a hoya wall, I can see that being down easily with H. carnosa. The growth on those rivals my pothos.

Oh really?! The pothos? Cool cause I just got a H. Carnosa last week. Thank about the house comment, but dear Old grandfather didn't really think a head... we have a ton of roof and leak problems, and the house does not cool easily even with the treated tinted sticky paper stuff, the list goes on and on! Lol.

My carnosa all grow pretty fast, but the krimson queen has been really slow.

Denise, I've had the same experience with plants vs cuttings - the plants go dormant after transport. (Have had this happen when we moved to a new house, also.) GG's recent suggestion to move a plant to a high humidity spot made a huge difference to a new archboldiana hybrid I bought as a rooted plant. Giving it a few weeks in the terrarium seems to have stabilized it, and it's growing like crazy.

Melo7, what sort of soil do you use?

Just read this.. All plants, and all this year. That's kind of cool that cuttings grow faster @Denise that goes for rooted & Un rooted cuttings? @Nianyu I use 1/2 the soil that comes with the plant and All American potting soil (love it) and add a few chopped twigs and organics from the yard.

StoneTreeHouse hope I didn't scare you about skylights.. they really are beautiful and give your home a freedom and freshness. its just my house has too many Lmbo! it's actually funny because Idon't think the cooling/heating problems associated with them are well known.. it's like a dirty secret. You know like anything else u take the good with the bad, I was just reading the post and I realized skylights are perfect for plant lovers!

What a grand bathroom Melo! Looks so spacious. We live in a little bungalow with a tiny bathroom. It does have one window so I've managed to ***squeeze** five hanging plants in front of it. I've heard skylights can be a pain between leaking and heat gain, but I've love to have some anyway. You can never have too much sun!

Thanks Denise there is awsome light in my house, and bathroom is perfect for rooting. Your tiny bungalow with one window sounds cozy, especially with the *we ;)

I find that fertilizing does wonnders!! They grow like weeds! And that is one nice looking bathroom)
