Trying some new propagation methods for some cuttings-especially Hoya cuttings. The Hoya cuttings that I had previously dipped in superglue to help prevent rotting in water propagation had mostly rotted anyway. Now I’m attempting it in one half damp perlite and one half sphagnum moss. 🙂🌿🤞🏻

Lately I’ve been having a really hard time with my Hoya cuttings rotting when I put them in water for water propagation and so I’m trying a new trick that will hopefully help prevent this by dipping the end of the cutting in superglue, letting it dry and then placing the stem in water. I will keep you updated on how this works. 🤞🏻🌿

Good morning! So, how much water does a Christmas Cactus need anyway or how often? I have 3. 🪴💦

Do You Know What Type of Plant You Have? Here’s Why It’s Essential for Its Health! Have you ever stopped to wonder what type of plant you’re caring for? It might seem like a small detail, but knowing the species of your plant is a game changer when it comes to keeping it happy and thriving! Different plants, even if they look similar, often have unique care requirements. While some may enjoy lots of sunlight and a dry environment, others might prefer the shade and a bit more moisture. Neglecting these specific needs can lead to the plant’s decline—or worse, its demise. By identifying your plant species, you unlock the power to properly research its care needs, whether that means adjusting watering habits, providing the right soil, or finding its perfect spot in your home. This step is the foundation for a flourishing plant! 🌿 So, if you’re ready for plant-care success, start by figuring out exactly what you’re working with. Your plant will thank you!

Has anyone else heard about the common Hoya pest called flat mites? I never knew about these-until I was watching a video from Vermont Hoya’s channel about an outbreak he had in his grow tent with these invisible pests. He used a sulfur spray on all his Hoya to kill the infestation, which I was considering purchasing to preventatively treat mine, but I have seen online that these can be treated with neem oil. I’m hoping this works as well!
