Hello and calling all #hoyaheads in the US. Just want to let you know about an awesome shop I found on Palmstreet…after I finally figured out how it worked . (It’s generally way too stimulating for me 🤪) Now I just have this shop The Hoya Heaux (🤣🤣🤣) bookmarked, and don’t use anything else. It’s a small family business selling both unrooted and nicely-rooted hoya cuttings and small plants. Everything I’ve got from them has been exceptionally healthy, unique, and packed well, and usually between $1-20 😱 Anyhoo, their next “live” is this Friday 6/26 at 8:30pm CST. If you see me there, you’ll know my resolve has cracked. https:// #TheWateringHole #brunchataudreys #happyplants #hoya #Greggers #greggang #newgrowth #prayerplant #hoyahangout #OrchidLovers #Orchid #TradescantiaNanouk #CalatheaCorner #AlocasiaAddicts #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #BegoniaBunch #DreamMachine #MonsteraMonday #Philodendron #tipsandtricks #EcoTherapy #crazyplantlady #PlantingOnABudget #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy #PlantAddict #plantfriendsarethebestfriends #adhdplantlovers #horticulturaltherapy #plantnerd #hoyaheaux

It’s Wednesday at #TheWateringHole 🌿🌤️ Good morning everybody, or should I say good day [good evening, and goodnight!] ? After several days of ~95° 🥵 I am so very very grateful to be back down in the 70°s 😮‍💨 My plants, however, thought it was swell! As I was moving around my plants this morning I was thinking about the satisfying little tasks of plant care that are delightful. For me, one of my favorites is plucking off the totally brown and dried-up sheathes of cane begonia leaves. No force necessary, once they are brown and shriveled, I just touch them and they fall off in my hands. And I don’t *have* to do this, as they will fall off eventually by themselves, but it brings me joy. 🥰 Another one is when I water, and the saucer fills up but does not overflow, and later when I go to check all the water was sucked back up and the pot is the perfect “well-watered weight.” Do you have any small plant care tasks or activities that give you satisfaction or delight? Also, eeee, new Hoya callistophyla leaf 🥳 ⏱️Want to be notified of these posts when they come out?

Hi all, need some advice for my Swiss Cheese plant. Got it from Greg shop. It was full and beautiful and doing great outside…took it inside for winter and I almost lost it- my house is very dark-but I have many grow lights. Spring came and she went outside. I got into Electroculture- put one in her soil- and this big stinker has blown up. It has 5 huge new growths, each on very leggy stems….12+ inches. I’d love to propagate- but I’ve never done it. I’ll show pics. Do I cut the whole long stem? Where do I cut? Thank you in advance #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #MonsteraMonday #GregGang #GreggersSupportingGreggers

Good morning my lovely #TheWateringHole loves. 🥱 It is early here on the west coast 🌊☀️ And I need to rush off to work, but I figured I would at least start a post this morning for anyone feeling chatty. 👥🗣️🌿 I know I sure am, and it’s not just because I don’t want to go to work, but I also don’t want to go work in 91° 🥵 I just melt. (Our work “AC” is more like a suggestion @princesspitstop 😉 ) plus I might be serving outside. 🫣 Wish me luck and no melting and hopefully I can be done soon to get back to business: PLANTS 🌱🌿🪴 ☺️ Tell me what’s going on today in your world? #TheWateringHole #brunchataudreys #happyplants #hoya #Greggers #greggang #newgrowth #prayerplant #hoyahangout #OrchidLovers #Orchid #TradescantiaNanouk #CalatheaCorner #AlocasiaAddicts #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #BegoniaBunch #DreamMachine #MonsteraMonday #Philodendron #tipsandtricks #EcoTherapy #crazyplantlady #PlantingOnABudget #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy #PlantAddict #plantfriendsarethebestfriends #adhdplantlovers #horticulturaltherapy #plantnerd

So last night I was up late making a cutting pot for my husband’s work. It’s a 10-12 gallon planter and then a few other smaller ones; but this ensures everyone can pick what they want, but I had to share; #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #TheThread #TheWateringHole #Caladium #Philodendron #AlocasiaAddicts #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #PetsAndPlants #MonsteraMonday #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #PlantID

I just had to share some of my favorite flowers and plants. First is my newest leaf on my kitchen Zebrina; Blue Spur; Parsley; strawberry patch #1, and lastly my raspberries: and yes, they are definitely a mess 😂🤦‍♀️. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #PetsAndPlants #MonsteraMonday #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PlantShelfie #TheThread #TheWateringHole #RarePlants #PlantID

I normally wouldn’t make a post like this, but I wanted to share this with you all. Please take it as just me explaining monosilic acid vs. potassium silica. I’ve seen a lot of people who have been asking but don’t fully understand. So I just hope this can help. *Beyond the Hype: Monosilicic Acid vs. Potassium SilicateSubtitle: The actual chemistry of plant armor and soil health. 1: The Core Problem with Garden GossipThe Myth: "Silica is a chemical hype product that builds up salts and ruins plants long-term."The Reality: Silicon is the 2nd most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Nature uses it to build plant skeleton and defense systems.The Confusion: Not all silica bottles are created equal. Mixing up the forms of silica leads to terrible advice. 2: The Two ContendersContender A: Potassium Silicate (\(K_{2}SiO_{3}\))An old-school, industrial, raw mineral salt.Contender B: Monosilicic Acid (\(H_{4}SiO_{4}\))A highly refined, bio-available organic molecule.The Golden Rule: Plants can only absorb Monosilicic Acid. 3: Potassium Silicate (The Heavy Salt)What it is: Raw silica melted down with potassium carbonate.How it works: It is a massive, complex molecule. The plant cannot absorb it directly; soil microbes must break it down over weeks into Monosilicic Acid first.The Danger: It is highly alkaline (pH of 11+). It dramatically spikes soil pH and leaves behind heavy potassium salt residues.The Result: If you don't flush your soil, this is the form that causes the nutrient lockouts people complain about. 4: Monosilicic Acid (The Specialized Tech)What it is: Fully bioavailable, pre-broken-down silica (like PowerSi).How it works: Because it is already in the exact form the plant requires, the roots absorb it instantly within minutes of application.The Safety: It is completely pH-neutral and highly concentrated. You use tiny, microscopic doses compared to raw salts.The Result: Zero salt buildup, zero soil pH drifting, and instant structural armor for the plant. 5: The "Marijuana Hype" Reality CheckThe Claim: "Silica is just a gimmick popularized by cannabis growers for fast growth."The Fact: High-value commercial growers adopted it because they invest heavily in laboratory testing and plant tissue analysis.The Agriculture Truth: Massive commercial agricultural operations use bioavailable silica on rice, wheat, and sugarcane to prevent lodging (falling over) and combat high-heat stress. 6: Physical Structural Density vs. Fake GrowthSynthetic Hormones (e.g., Superthrive): Artificially forces cells to stretch and grow longer. This can create weak, watery, floppy tissues that easily snap or burn in high heat.Monosilicic Acid: Deposits a rigid, glassy matrix inside the existing cell walls. It creates "leathery" leaves and thick stalks that mechanically block pests and lock in water during heatwaves. 7: How to Safely Use Silica Without LockoutPrioritize Rainwater: Rainwater is naturally soft and slightly acidic, which beautifully dissolves nutrients and keeps soil pH balanced. The "Weekly Weakly" Method: Feed lower, consistent doses of premium inputs rather than heavy, shock-inducing concentrations.Routine Flushes: A clean water flush every few months prevents any potential trace mineral accumulation, completely invalidating the "long-term death" myth. 8: Summary: Work with Chemistry, Not TrendsChoose Monosilicic Acid for instant absorption, zero salt buildup, and complete pH stability. Avoid Raw Silicate Salts if you want to prevent long-term soil crusting and nutrient lockout.Look at the Leaves: Thick stalks and un-tearable, leathery leaves don't lie. The plant's physical structure is the ultimate proof of health. The Planetary Reality Check (Earth's Crust Chemistry)The Science: Oxygen (46.1%) and Silicon (28.2%) are the top two most abundant elements in the Earth’s crust. Together, they make up 4 out of every 5 atoms available on the surface of the globe. What is Silica?: Silica is simply Silicon Dioxide (\(SiO_{2}\))—a natural bond of the two most common things on Earth.The Logic Gap: Claiming silica is an artificial "hype chemical" is like claiming water or oxygen is a fad. Earth is silica. The True "Hype" vs. Actual Plant ArchitectureSynthetic Vitamin Blends: Products relying heavily on synthetic growth hormones (like NAA/Auxins found in Superthrive) trick the plant into rapidly elongating its cells. This forces fast growth but creates weak, bloated cell tissue. Monosilicic Acid: Does not manipulate plant hormones. It provides the literal physical building materials. It places a solid, glassy layer between the plant's outer cuticle and cell walls.The Verdict: One stretches cells thin; the other reinforces them with physical structural armor. Here are some sites to look into if interested https:// https:// https:// #TheThread #TheWateringHole #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #OrchidLovers #PetsAndPlants #MonsteraMonday #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PestControl #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #Hoya

Good morning Wednesday #TheWateringHole 🫶🌿🌤️ How is everyone doing in their neck of the woods? I, like quite a number of #greggers , have some pests in my indoor collection. Broad mites. (Booo hiss!!) They are minuscule, to a lot of people they are microscopic, 1/4 of a millimeter 🤏 small , but I can see them. They look like little dust specks moving around without magnification. They are notoriously hard to contain because of their size. Not only can they come in on a plant, they are so small they can float on a breeze through a window screen. 🦋🐝 How did I find them? I had a few very strange new leaves on two hoyas. They curled in on themselves, lost their shiny luster, appeared grey, and fell off (with my tweezer into a baggie) at a mere touch. I shall post those leaves. You can treat with neem, although it is a lot of labor involved, so this time and with the knowledgeable advice of @MusicalRedmint Susann, I am going PREDATORY MITES. This website DMV Beneficials is amazing. https:// They are a US-based service that offers free consultations to figure out what you’re dealing with and what would be the best predatory bug to help. If you have a pest situation and are feeling a little overwhelmed, reach out to them, they help people all over the states get connected with suppliers of good bugs. They also keep your budget in mind. And it seems like prices are not as bad as they used to be! I may be able to contain my pest issue for less than $50 😮‍💨😮‍💨. And if you are in another country, I highly encourage you to look around for beneficial suppliers near you 🦋🐞 And if you’re in Oregon or Washington, here is the supplier I will most likely be going with. You can check out their prices, only about $1 per sachet! https:// The mites I’m selecting are also microscopic, so you don’t have to see them in your house if that freaks you out. (I shall be bringing out my microscope though, and watching with interest on the sidelines because I am a grade A Weirdo. ) 🚩🍿🥳📣🙌👏 Well, how’s everyone else doing today? 😜😂 ⏱️Want to be notified of these posts when they come out?

My adorable little niece was over today helping me plant and clean up part of the greenhouse, and she brought some of her plants she needed to transplant. She was so excited to bring them over, and she reminded me I promised her she could have one of my caramel marble philodendrons, so she picked out which one, and I’m now acclimating to house conditions. So when they get back from a family vacation to Greenland (lucky ducks!), she’ll take it home. She told me today when she grows up she wants to be a landscape architect 🤣🫶🏻☺️🌸🐝 I love this girl. I’m sure it will all change when she’s ten, but oh my goodness, I love her. So do the dogs. 🤣 #TheThread #TheWateringHole #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #PetsAndPlants #MonsteraMonday #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #PlantID

Hello everyone, I hope you are well. Here is my first batch of habanero peppers. Often what I do is I dry them in the oven. Grind them up. This time I think I’m gonna add a little red curry to them. Then put them then put them in a shaker. Sometimes I grill them with olive oil and a little salt. They are very hot and very good. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #PlantCorner #PetsAndPlants #MonsteraMonday #OutdoorGrowing @AdonicKohleria2 @BabeVila @BuffCaperspurge @CutePolypremum @DreamMachine @FamedGymealily @FamedGymealily @princesspitstop @Ponytailmom @TrueAchiote14 #TropicalPlants @katewarner @TopCoriander6
