Mersipoo..you know what? You don't give yourself enough credit. So far, every plant you've posted, cuttings, too, are doing fantastic. How many ppl do you know who can root denia cuttings, successfully? Not many. Perhaps you're superstitious..lol..think negative, and plants do well. Be optimistic, they die. Also, if one thinks negative and a plant kicks the bucket, 'becuase it was expected,' the plants death isn't taken as bad. Dr. Toni, analizing Merci. Your bill will be in the mail. lol Tropical, where did those hoya prices derive? Is that the cost where you live or do you mean in general. 25 for an Imperilous. Wow. I paid 5.99 @ Peppers/Accents. Tropical, when you have time, go to www.gardenwatchdog.com Click on your country, then type in Hoyas. You never know what you'll find. Pug, Is your hoya, H. carnosa picta 'variegata?' Found mine on Ebay. Your flowers are gorgeous and there are sooo many. Are they fragrant? How many hoyas do you now have? I haven't any luck rooting hoyas, but a friend roots hers in water. After rooting, they're potted in soil, and voia! Air layering isn't difficult. The best way to experiment is by air layering a common, non-expensive plant, like Dracanea, Janet Craig. Slit diaganally, place 2 toothpicks in cut, mist, wrap moist sphagnum moss around cut, remist, wrap with plastic and ti ends of plastic. Every 3-4 days check moss for moisture. If dry, spray more water. Roots will emerge. After they're 4"+, cut area with a sharp knife, and pot in soil. You'll get two plants out of one. The bottom have should regrow. Pug, denias, hibs, citrus and azaleas won't root in water..they require soil or soil-less mix. Plastic wrapped. Tropical, if there's one plant I won't take cuttings from, it's Hoya.. If a 'flowering stem' is cut, it will not flower. I don't know a flowering stem from a foliage stem, so none are cut. I have a Crinkly hoya, bought in the mid-90's. It'd used to bloom 4-5 times a year. I've taken cuttings a number of times, for friends..it's been more than 4 yrs since flowering. Never again. Merci, keep us posted...Are you going to graft? Toni

Oooh that is beautiful! I just did my first bouquet of the season, so much fun to see what nature and gardeners put together.
