Succulent Ramblings

I like to ramble on about my plants... and other things! My hope is to log the progress of plants and talk about my frustrations with others. So, tune in, turn on, or drop out (if you find it boring!)

Well, I didn't get back as quick as I'd hoped.   (I rarely do!)  We spent time painting at work, then we got our new window treatments and changed the backdrop behind the head table.  Check out the photos on our Facebook page... Karen's Fireside Facebook 

I have more to report on my plants.  Another cutting of 'Square Leaf' rooted.  It still appears a bit dehydrated, but I think it will be fine.  I put it in with the little pot of two other cuttings that are growing nicely.  I have one more piece that's being stubborn, but I think it will root.

Hoya bordenii, the cutting I got from Dee that actually grew from a leaf that popped off, has new growth with at least two new leaves developing.  It's going to be a beauty!  Hoya patella was a puney cutting I got from DL that I put in with mindorensis, thinking it wouldn't make it.  It only had one leaf on it when I got it.  It has a new vine shooting!!  I'll leave it in with mindorensis for awhile longer.  Mindorensis is doing GREAT!  It has a new vine that's about a foot long, has a new leaf at the end of one stem and 2 new leaves at the end of another.  It also has another new growth bud and - TA DA! - a peduncle!

Hoya revoluta, the one that looks a lot like micrantha only bigger leaves, has two new vines and a new leaf. 

I took a cutting of puppreo-fusca last year because my main plant looked a little sad.  It rooted quickly, but didn't do much of anything but look healthy last year.  It's got a nice new vine it's shooting out!  I may just sell my main plant (it still has rough looking leaves from Hawaii) and keep the cutting!
