    He's one of the best!❤

    With a freebe every time too!

    I love that he has the 'Buy it now' option. You see it, you want it, you buy it! lol Although, that can be dangerous...because it gets hard to stop clicking on THAT button:-)

    Yes, me too. Its torture waiting sometimes up to 9 days.

    I know! And it always seems when the 'expires' time comes up ....I end up missing it. Ugh.

    Me too, I'm usually at work and can't place a bid in front of the boss haha

    Just a heads up. Ric has Hoya retusa on eBay right now...this one, I can't grow.

    I am so excited hearing that y'all have been so pleased with your orders! I just purchased 4 of the Rebecca cuttings he had listed. I've been trying to get my hands on one FOR-EV-ER! My sisters name is Rebecca. :)

    Happy for you! I'm sure you'll receive a free cutting of his choice.

    One of my free cuttings already rooted and growing. Mathilde...perfect little Lowe's cactus pot :) wish these little baskets were available for purchase.

    Here is one of yours aurora. Putting on new growth :)

  • 9 years ago

    Moonshadow? Yeah, she isn't a shy grower for me!

    All the others are also putting out new growth but slowly. They are adjusting to the new environment I'm sure...I was very excited with sp.sr-2013-005 when I noticed it growing a new leaf. Then all of a sudden it "pinched" don't know what happened. Maybe a bug.

    That hasn't happened to me yet for sp. SR-2013-005. But, it does happen. I did an experiment. Seems if very young leaves get injured (I purposefully "bumped" them, for my experiment), they tend to pinch and deform. Also happens if pressure from other vine growth is constantly applied to them as they develop.

    SR-2013-005 will rapidly grow in warm, humid conditions. It likes to be slightly damp (not soaking wet or soggy). I wish mine would slow down, lol! I have to constantly train it. It is a twining hoya, and readily wraps itself around anything and everything.

    PS...is that a tiny bit of carmelae I see in the bottom of SR-2013-005's pot?

  • 9 years ago

    Yes, that one got stressed so I clipped the stems that looked like they were yellowing. Stuck the piece in that pot :) It looks like the rest of it is doing good now.

    Look! One of my free cuttings might bloom! Looks like it will abort most of them. As long as I get to see just one little flower I'm happy :)...


    I think my greenhouse is getting too hot for them. Time for adjustments.

  • 9 years ago

    Very nice! Please post a photo of that one little flower :-) (hopefully more)

  • 9 years ago

    Found some window screen in my shed. Doubled it and pinned it to the side of the greenhouse the baby hoyas are at. Hope it helps with the heat....I think I need another shaded greenhouse in my life ;-D

    Here they are :) opened up this morning.
