An update!

Jimmy, I will probably have to take you up on that lasiantha trade offer. Mine doesn't look too hot. I have rooted lithophytica (yes it is tiny, apologies...this plant is just soooo petite!) for you:


Kim, I am having trouble remembering what you wanted (I am throwing a cutting of heuschkeliana in for you). I CANNOT serm to root lockii! It keeps dying. Might wanna contact Doug for that one...until I can get the hang of mine.

I do have campanulata rooting up for you though:


Klnco, your community pot of mindorensis:

I will get these babies out to you all once they are ready!

    Sounds good! My email is glassmaster_1@hotmail.com. Just give me an address to send it to,and I'll ship it out nest week!I may also place an order with the new hoya vendor through you if that is OK!It seems yous customs on the west coast are not as bad as the ones in JFK.

    Sure thing! john_huck@live.com

    Hooray! Thank you for posting an update. I've been dieing to know what these little babes look like! You are rooting them together, aurora? Perfect!

    (If you want me to pay for the Pub hybrid when the mindorensis is ready to go, I am more than happy to.)

  • 10 years ago

    Yes, rooting them together. No need to pay for the hybrid. Consider it a gift!

  • 10 years ago

    Well thank you very much. I was just gonna use the thank you button, but I don't see it anymore lol!

  • 10 years ago

    Thanks Aurorawa! No worries about the lockii, will get my hands on it eventually. Right now, I have my hands full trying to figure out how to not murder praetorii, and my little mite battle with my poor bella.

    The lobbii I have for you is doing well though!

    Oooh, heuschkeliana? Thanks! Is it the yellow kind? :) I am so excited for campanulata!!

  • 10 years ago

    I really don't know what color it is! I have all mine together.

  • 10 years ago

    Fun! Mystery Hoya! I have the kind Gardinos carries, will just tuck it in with that.

  • 10 years ago

    Hey aurorawa, I sent you an email checking on the cuttings. Not sure if you got it or if the internet ate it lol!

    Methinks the internet gobbled it up, as I have not received any emails today, other than an inquiry about one of my auctions. Yours are almost ready...had to restart 2 cuttings (house panthers), so they got delayed a bit! Apologies!

  • 10 years ago

    Aurorawa, I was walking and typing the tracking number for our trade at the same time. If it doesn't work let me know, but you should have them by Wednesday. I hope they arrive ok with this heat!

    Also, house panthers. My new favorite thing. :) Fortunately for me, my house panther is a menace only to wildlife.

  • 10 years ago

    Kim, they arrived safe and healthy! Thanks!

  • 10 years ago

    No worries! Just wanted to check in. Thank you!

  • 10 years ago

    How's it coming, aurorawa? :)

    Down to two rooted cuttings (purple and pink orange)! I have no clue why they won't root! And, of course, NOW the mother plants are sulking, so I can't safely take cuttings (at least healthy ones). I can go ahead and send you these two, along with Pub. splash hybrid, if you want! Ugh, between spending much needed time with the family in between a sporadic on call at work, baby chicks developing in the 'bator, foster cats having babies out the wazoo (please spay and neuter), I am spread pretty thin, and my hoyas are not getting as much pampering as they are used to. Spoilt, I tells ya!

    And Kim, I totally forgot your heuschkeliana, didn't I? Ugh. Will send it ASAP.

  • 10 years ago

    And klnco, I have nice ROOTED cuttings of aff. erythrostemma and sp. UT-048, which would look stunning in a pot with your mindorensis, as substitutes!

    The aff. erythrostemma I have looks like this when it blooms (alohahoya aff. erythrostemma IML 1423...Pic belongs to Doug...think ours came from the same vendor):

    sp. UT-048 (AHHoya):

    mindorensis purple star (Forest Treasures)


    mindorensis pink orange (Jakk-Epiphytica):

    So, imagine all those in the same pot together.

  • 10 years ago

    Oh my goodness. Maybe this should be my next Hoya project, hahaha. Just gorgeous. How long do these species take to bloom? Can they handle a lot of light?

  • 10 years ago
    last modified: 10 years ago

    Sorry to hear that it's been a struggle! I understand. I just missed an auction on an aff. Erythrostemma, so I am not opposed! All of those Hoyas are gorgeous and will make a beautiful combo pot! If it'll make it easier you can just send what's been rooted and cuttings of UT-048 & IML 1423, as well as the pub hybrid (this way we avoid the house panthers as well! :)) Unless you'd suggest going ahead and rooting them yourself, which is fine too!

  • 10 years ago

    All except for pub. splash hybrid are rooted.

    Okay. Pm or email me your paypal

  • 10 years ago

    Same as my email. Can't seem to PM you!

  • 10 years ago

    Hey aurora! Just wanted to share a pic of some of the new growth the RHP x RHP hybrid has. What beautiful splashing on the leaves!

    Do you know what the flowers will look like on this guy? Same as a regular rhp? The curiosity is killing me and I thought I'd ask since I probably have a while before I see any :)

  • 10 years ago

    They are a bit lighter than RHP...a darker version of 'Pink Silver', not that pink, but not RED red, if that makes sense...

  • 9 years ago

    Aurorawa, look what I discovered upon coming back from vacation! My mindorensis combo pot is feeling happy!! So excited :] This is Mind. Pink-Orange.

    Awesome! Mine has not bloomed yet (I keep taking cuttings of it to give away/sell...it finally got a break over the summer!), but it came from a reputable vendor, so it SHOULD be pink/orange! Crossing fingers for you.

  • 9 years ago
    last modified: 9 years ago

    I'm sure it is :)

    Mind. Red's leaves turn red in high light, mind. Purple has purple/purple spotted new growth, Pink-Orange is a very fast and vigorous grower for me, Yellow has very light green new growth, and the others are hard to distinguish for me.

    Look at PG-12 that I got in the group order, for some reason it has put off HUGE new leaves and growth! Guess it's happy too.

    In fact, all of the plants that came from Thailand are really doing great and putting off some sort of new growth vines and leaves. Celata has done the best, really just exploding since being repotted with just perlite. Very happy with these beauts!

    UT-045:

    I've never seen such big leaves on Erythrostemmas or Mindorensis...

    Celata:

    Left to right M. Lite Yellow, Celata, and Pubicalyx Pink Dragon. I call them the triplets cause I ran out of room on my racks so they live with eachother in this East facing basement window lol Hopefully peduncles soon or next summer!

  • 9 years ago

    mindorensis purple star is called that because of the flowers, not because of leaf color. All mindorensis can get red leaves in high light.

    I am really glad the Thailand ones are doing well! I felt so awful opening that box and seeing all those loose peduncles and spent buds!
