    We learn as we grow - your results here are stupendous. Being cut from a similar cloth as you, swooning over Hoyas is a given. Two years ago, I bought a Carnosa Princess - what is there not to love? - and was so thrilled, though uneducated and winging it, that I found a beautiful Chinese ceramic pot and made the connection, not realizing that the pot was far too large, and it has spent 2 years growing roots. However, in Jan '23, it began to make promises, and in the last week, two vines with two leaves each have begun to enchant the garden. They are incredibly various and painterly, entering the world with pink or red centres in the leaves, maturing into dark green-margined paintings, framed so cleverly. Braggadocious this time, with apologies. Sheer luck, it must be confessed. 💐

    This video is the first time I’ve seen an inner variegated Hoya Obovata with normal round leaves😍 every other one I’ve seen the leaves are always misshapen. I thought it just didn’t grow how the regular Obovata did because of the inner variegation. Now I really want one and have the goal of growing perfect like yours💚

    Hi Adam! I love that you're doing more videos and hope they continue on a regular basis. You always make my day! It's amazing how well all of your Hoyas are doing after just 2 years. I have to agree with you that the Hoya Obovata (variegata w/ splash) is so beautiful! It's my favorite, too! It's exciting that it is flowering. You definitely have the right to be braggadocios about this Hoya! LOL! You definitely have a green thumb. I wish my Hoyas grew that fast, especially where you said you've taken cuttings and they've gotten so big, too. It was fun seeing how different you look, too! I really like the update videos because it helps to see what they will/should look like. How do you determine which Hoyas to grow in LECA vs. soil? And, do you feed the Hoyas in soil the same mix you use for the semi hydro? Thank you so much for sharing!
