WANTED: Hoya lambii and Hoya davidcummingii
Comments (0)Hey there! I would love to trade for H. davidcummingii or H. lambii. I have the H. samoensis rooted cuttings, or I could take fresh cuttings of H. DS-70, H. brevialata, or H. cv. 'Chelsea' for you in trade. Or I would be more than happy to send you $ for shipping if you are willing to share. Thanks, Carolyn...See MoreH.davidcummingii
Comments (13)Renee, it's in nothing but hydroton. I saved a few of those clear containers like the Chinese restaraunts use to put soup in,cut a few slits in them about and inch and a half from the bottom so some water will stay in the reservoir. So far this has worked for me in growing davidcummingii. This is the longest that i've grown this plant without it going into a decline for one reason or another!!!! I also grow my H. rotundiflora,H.lasiantha and H.praetorii like this as well as i've found it easier to keep them going like thise. When I had them in soil they would all grow well for a while then start heading down hill. Having as many hoyas as I do it's hard to give each one it's own specific needs so I treat them all the same and knock on wood i haven't had any issues in doing so except with just a few and of course the ones I mentioned above would be those. By growing them in hydroton I know that there's no chance of them being over or underwatered which I suspect was the issue that I was having with them to begin with. david...See MoreHoya Davidcummingii, pictures & Comment.......
Comments (5)I ordered one off eBay from seller "Yellowgreen2u" last year. All the plants I get from this seller have been vigorous growers and early bloomers. I really do think it's the woody mix they use. Also ordered a FuscoMarginata from them that is thriving. Mine also has bloomed for the first time this spring, with one other peduncle producing buds atm. I keep mine wet all the time, letting it dry SLIGHTLY in between watering. I let it dry completely once and the whole plant went limp and I thought I killed it. But a good shower and foliar feed later it perked right back up. The blooms on mine are slightly darker than yours, unless you used flash when taking the photo. A cool pic of Lacunosa, Mindorensis ssp. Superba, and D.Cummingii:Hope some of that helped you a bit. I have no problems with root rot having kept it wet most of the time. Mine is also quite bound, but it's not fussing so neither am I! :^)...See MorePictures Of 'DavidCummingii', Spring Blooms.
