HAVE: Rooted imperialis for other Hoya
Comments (3)Steven- Thanks for the offer, but I've got compacta coming out my ears at the moment! lol That one grows like crazy for me for some reason. Carolyn- I think the better question is what do you have that you'd be willing to trade? lol I'm new at this, really, so I don't have a large variety. I like big or interesting leaves, or plants with an interesting growth habit. I already have several lacunosa, merrillii, meliflua, nummularioides, DS-70, australis teniupes, and several pubicalyx, not to mention the carnosa varieties, and nicholsoniae and lobbii are among my favorites....See MoreWell-rooted hoya cuttings for trade
Comments (16)I'm just south of you, about an hour and ten down the parkway or the turnpike...I have seen linearis at Home Depots in Burlington, Moorestown, Manahawkin and I think Toms River - though not positive about Toms River. You know, most of the people I know that have killed this one think it was due to overwatering...I have had no problems with mine, and I treat it as I do all my plants, hoyas and otherwise..water when dry. Nothing gets a drop until it dries out, meaning like 80 or 90% dry!! Now this doesn't mean my plants sit there bone dry for a week until I notice they need water...I check them pretty much every day, so I water AS SOON as the plant dries out. I have noticed that as soon as it reaches that "dry" point, the needles on linearis droop a teeny bit right away. I have treated it this way since I got it, and haven't lost a leaf or stem or had any problems whatsoever. So I don't care what anyone says about a plant liking it wet, mine only get water when they are newly dry, a few hours dry won't kill them - but it is so difficult to figure out how wet is too wet and what is going on down below where the roots are, so I think you are better off letting a plant go a bit dry than trying to achieve that perfect "wet" balance! And if you are vigilant, it won't be dry long enough to do any real damage or harm to the root system. I just sent cuttings out, but if you don't find one, ask me in the spring and I'd be happy to send you some....See MoreProblems in rooting Hoya Imperialis - Yellow Leaves
Comments (10)Hi Jaci and thank you for your answer.. I am also keeping them on a heater (may act as a heat mat, hopefully) I wish I could add some pictures here, but unfortunately I had a cutting and I divided it into two for more chance of rooting. One cutting has only 1 leaf where the other had two. So I should be worried about loosing a leaf, right? I also put some of the leaves I cut into water. Maybe they will root but as much as I read they will only root will not produce a stem and grow up. Thank you very much.....See MoreHelp with I.D. of my hoyas (last one!) - Hoya carnosa ?
Comments (1)It is a carnosa and it will do just fine in that West window! The leaves will lighten, but more light does encourage blooming (however, carnosa is one of those that likes to take it's sweet time to bloom...it could take a couple of years)....See MoreLily Roberts
