Hi hiway 86, how cool is that seed pod. thanks for posting. Just curious what other hoyas do you have near by? I also see an epiphyllum near by. You might want to put an old nylon on the seed pod to catch the seeds, I heard that when a pod is ripen it will split open and seeds might blow away.

Thanks jan1. It is really cool. I was surprised to see them. I have always wanted to see what one looks like. They remind me of plumeria seed pods in a way. I think i will cover them with something to try to catch the seeds. Dont know if i will plant many of them, but im sure i will try a few. I really need to give it a bigger pot cause it is has been root bound for years, but will wait till the pods open. The only hoya i have close to it is a variegated carnosa. Yes there is an epi next to it too. That plant goes crazy every year. I always have to cut it back cause the leaves will grow like 5' long, and start to hit the top of my deck. Its great though. I wish my other epis would bloom like that one. Tricky plants. Well, thanks for the responce, and glad you enjoyed the pic.

Did you collected the seeds? are you going to plant all the seeds? I hear the seeds don't stay fresh too long so should plant them right away. If you are not planting all the seeds can I send you SASE to you? I would like to try to grow some. email me jansword@earthlink.net

Yeah, good luck with catching those wiley critters. I had two pods this year that got ahead of my time table, had no look what so ever of opening then poof, I get home and find nothing but the cotton hanging by a thread left...

Grrrr.

Congrats on the pods, it is always such a good feeling of accomplishment, whether you plant them or not.

(I was really hoping to harvest the kerrii pod, as I did last year, planted them, got them up, 2 inches tall, then ravished over night. I really, really want some baby Heart Leaved kids.

Hi Cena, try this on your pod next time.
Put an old nylon on the seed pod to catch the seeds, I heard that when a pod is ripen it will split open and seeds blow away.

I also read on another forum that you can tape them shut, especially smaller pods like on lacunosa etc and that way when ready they will pop, but not pop open all the way.

Hello I also got my first seed pod this year awesome
am wondering if anyone knows what the pod for the rope hoya looks like I think I have some of them as well
