wanted: to trade rex leaves. want chicago fire
Comments (3)BB, I was just going by what was on your Trade page. I do have a couple of begonias, although not Chicago Fire. I have a Noid Angelwing I believe is Flamingo, and some others, Rexes and Rhizomatous. Most are pretty small still, as I started them from leaves this year. (I can definitely trade the Angelwing and a pretty semp Noid with dark leaves, which I have rooted plantlets of as of now). I also have a lovely streptocarpus collection, if you've ever considered those... Let me know. -Mo (WV)...See Morewanted: to trade rex leaves

Comments (7)I grow different Hoyas in S/H, and it doesn't seem like you actually were doing S/H. First, most importantly you cannot water with just water and be successful long term. It has to be a dilute fertilizer solution in order for this method to work properly. Secondly, the pots cannot get dry regularly. Thirdly using S/H in clay can backfire badly. Because with the water and evaporative effect of clay, and especially in low humidity areas, the root zone can get too cool for warm growing plants, which Eriostemmas are. And if you use the fertilizer suggestion, again with the evaporative effect, you will build up toxic levels of salts over time. I used to just clean my Hydroton in a strong bleach solution, letting it set in it for days, but I no longer do that. As for finding more Hydroton, it is difficult as Hydroton is a trade name by a specific manufacturer who stopped producing a couple years ago. But there are other manufacturers of LECA ( lightweight expanded clay aggregate). If you live near a city, hydroponic stores usually stock at least one brand. And apparently Mother Earth is now using the name Hydroton too, cause I just bought three bags of it a couple weeks ago. I am a big believer in S/H for Hoyas as I've had plants do amazingly in them, but the basic "rules" have to be followed in order for it to work long term. If you are interested, check out the website, it is from the guy that invented this method, and although it is for orchids, it still applies. There is a ton of info there. (I tried to put the link in, but the gardenweb is blocking me, so email me if you are interested) and click on the free info page. With all that said though, I don't have my Eriostemmas in S/H, as they just get to big for me to handle in that method. As for the planters you mentioned, I'm not sure as I've never used them. Hope this is helpful, Renee...See MoreAmy
