My two Hoya plachycladas are starting to grow :-)
Comments (5)Woohoo! Pachyclada is on my wishlist! Do you mind if I ask where you got them? Since you have new growth, I don't think you really need any advice. You're doing fine! One thing I've noticed about hoyas is that if you get a small plant or rooted cutting, they often sit around and do nothing for months before they put on new growth. But once they start new growth, they continue. It's like they have to acclimate before they will increase. I had some cuttings of a wayetii that I put in a pot and they did nothing for 6 months other than survive (thankfully). Then suddenly one day, I noticed like 3 new leaves coming. Bam!...See MoreMiracle grow - seed starting potting mix
Comments (3)It is great you have pumice! Some ppl grow some succulents even in pure pumice - hopefully one of them will see your question and posts. I guess mix you suggested could work - but seed starting mix usually contains lots of peat or is 100% peat. Is there ingredients list? Usually, 1st ingredient listed is one there is most of. Sometimes, ingredients are listed by %. I would check that. Problem with peat is that it could get hydrophobic if it dries up. Or, if kept wet, it may stay too wet for too long. But maybe if you use it in smaller amounts it may work??? What do you mean by "new plants"? Are those plants new to you/you just got, or are they newly rooted plants? Which plants do you have? I use mix of perlite (would definitely use pumice if I could get it easily), and chicken grit in approx. equal amounts. I add between 10-20% of turface, or instead - same amount of soil or cocopeat. You could do something similar. Chicken grit is available in 50lb bags for about CD $12, and usually less in US. My plants are also outdoors late spring to fall, and indoors, under lights, during cold weather....See MoreLittle Hoya imbricata cutting is starting to grow!

Comments (6)@tsugajunkie z5 SE WI ♱ water it the same way you mentioned, filling the central cup and only slightly moistening the soil. maybe every coulple of weeks, i observe it until the cup is empty and then refill it shortly after that (a few days after empty) I stuggle to keep the amount of light my plants get consistent as im on a boat and constantly moving around with the sun coming from diferent directions. I try and keep it not in direct sunlight most of the time. im not too worried really as it has at least produced plenty of pups and i can continue learning to care for them with this next generation and this one dying is inevitable....See Morerosecanadian
