Congrats on your RF bloom...isn't it pretty!

Nice set up you got there TD, Nice large cuttings! What are using on the bottom of the aquarium...is it bark(mulch) and do you have them sitting in water? Are you rooting the cutting ends in Sphagnum moss?

Congrats, TigerDawn! Is the scent as strong as regular lacunosa?

I've got my regular lacunosa blooming right now, but it took me by surprise as I didn't check it for a few days. Then, when I checked it, I saw two sets of buds that opened later that day!

BTW, the cuttings you sent me are doing great! Good luck with rooting your new additions! I'll be getting cuttings soon from David as well!

Brad, you'll be blown away at the cuttings you get from David! Which varieties are you getting?

I don't have a regular lacunosa so I can't compare the bloom fragrance.

Here's what I did with the aquarium: I put a towel down, then a plant heating mat, then the aquarium. I put in CatScat Mats upside down for drainage and then added the pine mulch. Then I tucked the cuttings into the mulch at the nodes. I haven't actually added any water yet because the pine mulch was moist but I probably will in a day or two.

My first "aquarium" is just a kitty litter pan with a plastic seed starting greenhouse lid on it. Even with no drainage my hoyas grow good root systems in about 2 weeks in there. I figure if that works, this oughta be great!

I'm getting fungii and pubicalyx Royal Hawaiian Purple from David. I have small cuttings of these and I want to make larger plants. As for the lacunosa fragrance, mine has the same kind of fragrance: a really strong perfume.

Thanks TD...I've never heard of Catscat mats till today. Very interesting. Good luck but sounds like you won't need it.

TD - I agree with your MIL. I love the scent of lacunosa and would be thrilled to wear it.
