I usually just buy whatever is balanced and cheapest-does anyone have a favorite fertilizer they use that they’ve noticed miracle results from?

Do you have a bald headed plant that you want to thicken up at the top and need some plant pins, but don’t have any-I just used hairpins and bent them to shape and they worked pretty well.

I don’t have a microscope to verify but I think I see the signs of flat mites on these Hoya-flat, tan areas under the leaf…slow growth…I’m spraying them down with this product again and hopefully that will get rid of them.

I’ve been repotting a bunch of my Hoya in coconut husk-I think it might be a better substrate than the soil mix I’ve been making. It is super airy and also retains moisture-each little chunk is like a sponge. I also have been adding trellises to many Hoyas-I’m hopeful the added support will stimulate the plant to produce more growth.

So…not great news. The prop box did not turn out to be a success-I left the lid on, which might’ve been a mistake. I should’ve allowed more airflow because when I checked it today, there was an abundance of mold on everything, especially in the moss. So I took all the plants that were not rotten out and rinsed them off. Now I’m trying a new thing where I’m going to stick their end into wet moss, but leave the top exposed.
