Had a couple of "drafts" and just published them so I can start a new one.  Here they are...

It's been a crazy couple of weeks at work - no time to post.  Thought I'd pop in and post just a few Hoya notes...

H. archboliana - I chopped it up and hope I will have some new rooted cuttings fairly soon.  I put what was left of the mother plant in a much smaller pot.  It has been doing poorly for a long time so this was really needed!  We've been getting lots of rain, which should help.  Rainwater is always a big plus and it's rooting out on the back porch...

H. arnottiana is NOT doing well at all!  Can't figure out what's wrong with it.  I may have to do what I did with Archie, though there isn't much left to take cuttings from.  I should probably take at least one soon... before it's all gone!

H. australis ssp. tenuipes - the old pot is starting to regrow!  Go figure.  I guess that's why I kept it.  If the roots were ok enough for it to come back, I don't understand why it went to crap last summer.  I have to believe it was perhaps the intense heat we had for so many weeks in a row, but I believe most of the australis come from relatively arid environments.  Well, I'm not complaining!

H. bhutanica - I groomed the crap out of it last week.  Pulled out the shelf it sits on and did all sides.  I took several cuttings and plan to root them.  I've been a little worried about it because the older growth seems to be yellowing and dropping, yet it's putting on new growth.  And I notice it's got some buds forming.  It can't be TOO unhappy...  I topdressed it with some fresh soil, so maybe that will help...

H. rubra - I think it needs a restart.  It's looking pretty lethargic.  I have a feeling the soil has gone sour.  This is going to be a project to start soon...

For some reason, the icon to post a photo is gone.  Seems to be hidden behind the "post settings" button.
