Beautiful cuttings!

Kelly

Cindy did you splurge and get Hoya grifithii from Botanova? That is the Hoya that holds the most wanted spot on my want list.

The leaf on your Hoya glabra cutting is amazing. I have had Hoya glabra for close to a year and it's biggest leaf is only 4.5" long by about 3" across.
The leaves on my 7-35 are fairly large when grown in low light but I moved my plant this spring and it's leaves are developing much smaller and more uniform.

What is the cutting with the slightly folded leaves with raised veins, far left potted plant in the third photo? It looks like a smaller version of my Hoya megalaster.

So do you have a favorite?

Mike

Those are some lovely looking cuttings! It must have been fun to receive them today. I keep trying to see what cagayanensis leaves look like, but I can't seem to match the label to the right stem, ha. Oh well. How long did your orders take to get to you? They look like they are in fabulous shape.

Mike I have 3 that I really like and they are australis IML 253/pubescens,sp GPS 7-35,but scortechinii comes in the winer.I really hope it keeps the red leaves.
The hoya you are asking about came from PS and its merillii GPS 10018.
I am sad to say that I am not a owner of grifithii.To rich for me.
It will be interesting to see if my glabra will grow leaves this large in my care.
I must say that if wallichii ever blooms for me this for sure will become my fav for flowers.
I hope my husband is not home when my Ted order comes in.He was all ready asking how much these 20 hoya cuttings cost.

Cindy

quinnfyre,Yes it was fun to get so many cuttings but it was a lot of work getting them all potted up.The cuttings from PS took about 2 weeks and the ones from Botanova just one week.All the cuttings arrived in great shape.Only pubicalyx GPS 1774 was a bit stressed but I think it should be fine. Tomorrow If I get some time I will post a photo of cagayanensis.

Mike, maybe your asking about The hoya in the 5th pot. This hoya came from Botanova and its australis "eungella".I really like the flowers on the australis hoya so I am trying to get few different ones.

Cindy

Cindy I think that is the one, it has really nice leaves. When your Hoya scortechinii get s big enough to share let me know because I got Hoya sp UT 001 recently and I am sure you would love it.

Mike

Here is a link that might be useful: Apodagis Hoya sp UT 001

Mike,
I just got that one as well! Glad you posted the link! The leaves remind me a bit of scortechinii. I like it!
Kelly

Great looking cuttings Cindy!! You really picked some really nice ones. Good luck with them and enjoy!

Cindy, thoese are beautiful cuttings!

Thanks every one,I love opening up the boxes and seeing what I got.Like seeing glabra come out of the box.I was a bit shocked.
Mike I would love to do a trade as soon as scortechinii is bigger.

Cindy I will start you a piece now and we can talk about the trade later. Even if it's not Hoya scortechinii I am sure you have other Hoyas that are large enough to trade.

Hoya cagayanensis is a really nice little Hoya. The leaves look like satin and the plant itself is a good grower and it climbs very well. I had to get this one because the blooms are supposed to be very fragrant. I found my plant tricky to grow at first because it was not in my mix but once it gets started it's a fast grower.

Mike

Mike let me know what you might be looking for. I have yellow heuschkeliana or maybe you would like a rooted piece of picta.Hows your elliptica doing?I could start you a piece of this.Ok you get the point just let me know what you would like.

Cindy

Beautiful cuttings Cindy, Can I ask if you are going to close them up in what looks like a plastic bag for some humidity? If so how long do you leave them in this temporary home?

Dee

Hi dee yes I am using those large storage zip lock bags and I do close them.I usually keep them in there bags about 6 weeks and one more week opening the top for a few hours adding more time every day until they come out.This year I have rushed some out and now they are suffering a bit.I have even lost a couple.

Cindy

OK, I thought that is what you were doing. Wish I could send you some of my humidity, uuggghh, this past week has been nasty humid. I don't mind the heat, but when the humidity gets to be 80- 100% nothing is fit to be out in it, even the flowers suffer a little. Sorry to hear about your loss.

Dee

Thanks dee.
I wish for some heat so if you have extra I will take it:)We are having a cool spring this year other wise I think the cuttings would of done ok.
