Very pretty! I've never heard of salmonea and don't find anything with a google search. Can you tell us more about it?

Ah, you got them! They sure do look nice with all your other babies. I forgot to tell you how much I like your mix. My bf were inspecting it with great detail. What is the white rock? Love the charcoal too. I got some absolutely amazing plants from yellowgreen2u grown in coir, that was fun to inspect too.

Denise, all I know is from the eBay listing.

This species was recently published in 2013 by Kloppenburg, Guevarra, Mendoza & Ferreras. This Hoya is new to me and I am still learning about it and how to grow it. It has grown fairly quickly since I purchased it earlier this year. The foliage is lanceolate, green, with pretty white vein pattern. I have not bloomed it yet, but the flowers are supposed to be a cluster of 20-35 cuties that are pale salmon color and I can't wait! I have not seen this offered anywhere else yet. This Hoya is RARE. This Hoya is native to Quezon Province, Philippines.

I use a mix of orchiata (1/4 inch) bark, 1/4 inch perlite, and charcoal. All equal parts.

With some hoyas, I will also add shredded New Zealand sphag moss, coir chunks, tree fern fibers, hydroton...just depends on who likes what best! I don't use any soil at all.
