Happy Thursday #TheWateringHole !! ✨🌿 Quite a few of us seem to have had very exciting days yesterday, I for one am hoping for a nice calm Thursday 🤞 As for #pedunclewatch I am up to FIVE peduncles on my Hoya ‘Bella.’ I don’t know how I missed those other two on such a tiny plant, but I did. 😅 What an overachiever! Have any planty plans for today? I hope it includes NOT putting perlite in a 415° oven 🥴 ⏱️Want to be notified of these posts when they come out?

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

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?

Good morning planty people of #TheWateringHole ✨🌿🫶 It is Monday, and I’m busy hurrying around watering everyone outside, as it’s lovely and 60° right now, but we’re supposed to get up to 85°, and if you know me, that is hot, hot, HOT 🥵 I am hoping to get back into the swing of regular posting, but I just had a very couple busy weeks, with picking up a regular shift at work, a trip to the coast 🌊 , and we’re getting into the last couple weeks of school for my kiddo. 🏃🏼‍♀️🍎⏰ But BIG NEWS!! We are on #pedunclewatch !!! 😱🥳🤩 Since I got into hoyas last summer, I’ve only had the start and subsequent blasting of a couple peduncles on one hoya, my crassipetiolata, but it was just the beginning of winter, and he got too cold and gave up on them. 🥶😔 Who’s the contender this time? My sweet Hoya ‘Bella,’ whom I got only last month, as a cutting in perlite, from my hoya lady on FB marketplace!! Bella is STILL in that cup of perlite, I didn’t get a chance to pot her up yet, and she has 3, count em’ THREE pedunkadunks starting 😱😮‍💨🤯🤩 As my photos will be peduncles, I’ll add my bountiful morning’s strawberry 🍓 harvest photo in the comments, along with my Mother’s Day snapdragon bloom, and my dahlias (not in bloom yet). How’s everyone’s Monday? Any blooms or new growth that you’re excited about? Any struggling? This is my Saturday, but if it’s your actual Monday, I wish you a very good and planty week 😘🌿✨ ⏱️Want to be notified of these posts when they come out?

Welcome to Susann's summer hoya bloom palooza. The first "batch" of blooms that I've been waiting for is done. #pedunclewatch has paid off. I have to say, they are very considerate in the timing of their reminder why the fight against the flat mites will be worth it. Pics are probably out of order, but the hoyas are h. davidcummingii. not my favorite looking bloom. But its intense fragrance is out of this world. It's very similar to the sp.aff. burtoniae's: homemade caramel, fresh from the pan. Then we have h. soidaoensis in all its flouffy glory. comparing similar blooms (only blooms), I prefer the caudata, I think. But the whole tiny plant is a piece of art, deserving a separate picture. Strong parfumey floral scent, reminiscent of the lacunosa. Last but not least, there is the first bloom of the sp. vietnam peduncle (will repost when it's fully done opening). This one had me worried for a while, but it seems finally to be on the mend after its slew of problems with mites and some weird infection. It had had its first bloom ridiculously early after I got it last year, but then was struggling too much to bloom for ages. So I appreciate it even more now and am so happy for this definite sign of recovery. Have a lovely day, enjoy those and your own flowers and maybe share the joy if you want to. #hoya #plantsmakepeoplehappy #hoyahangout

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?

It finally came! Well, one part; the last part of my soil mix. Still waiting on the hydroguard… ugh… 😩 Why is it taking so long? 🙃🐌🩵🌸 In the meantime, I have finally finished repotting 72 plants and more to go… but I gotta take a little break. Later tonight or tomorrow maybe. 🤔 How’s everyone’s last day of the week before the weekend??

Of all the hoyas that have bloomed for me recently.... this is one I'm actually proud of. as in "I'm counting this one as an achievement" proud. Since I've heard the serpens can sometimes be difficult to bloom, I couldn't believe my eyes, when I saw some of the myriad peduncles they seem to put out "just in case" regularly were actually developing more. This one is actually the first of several peduncles about to bloom, and I can't believe my fuzzy cutsey luck. Each singular blossom is about the size of a leaf, making the comparatively huge peduncles surrounded by the tiny "snake" heads absolutely magnificent. Like with her daughter, the Mathilde, I'm not a fan of its fragrance, but really, who cares: One of my hoya serpens is in bloom! I will try to capture the whole plant when more peduncles are open, because the size difference between peduncles and leaves is so remarkable, but for now I was scared to move the plant until the blooms are fully open. #hoya #hoyahangout #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants #pedunclewatch

Hi, my lovely Greggers. Please send love and strength. Or, if that's not your thing, a bottle of a good single malt will do as well, I'm not picky. Mites. False spider mites. With big hoya collection, after having moved plants around everywhere. And maybe having spotted some signs of virused plants as well (please, please, no ) Need I say more? I could really kick myself for my hybris here. (So maybe forget the whisky, transatlantic kicks from all of you would maybe be more appropriate. I've noticed signs of the infestation for a long time now. But every time, I checked the plants I suspected, (seemingly) diligently. With my more practical magnifying app/glass. Nothing. additionally, I had high trust in my seller, had a comfortably established rest predatory mite population in some pots and am absolutely pedantic about quarantine (which, of course, is basically useless if you don't see/ acknowledge the problem when it presents during that time). Can any of you give a better example for false confidence? I even traded some plants recently, so I even checked those particular ones diligently (I thought). Now I noticed signs of weird dechlorinated leaves spreading, which before I had attributed to a nutrient deficiency. Virus? Nah. Where would that have come from on my absolutely treasured bella PES-03. I've had her for v long, I never share water, no signs of pests, so no plant sap exchange. ... ... Again, feel free to kick me. Anytime. Yesterday I saw signs of those spots on other plants where the deficiency theory makes no sense, got freaked out and finally took out my jewelers loupe. Because logic hasn't failed me completely. if spread of virus, then sap transfer. If sap transfer, then pests (in my case). And if undetected pests then a) pests tiiiiiiny and b) I'm truly fuuuuuu.... well, you know. Fundamentally angry with myself. Gosh, those things are tiny. Undetectable by best magnification my very solid glasses could offer. Even after I knew where to look because I could just make them out with the jewelers loupe. I think part of the reason for my false confidence was my experience with broad mites and some flat mites on a tomato plant a while back. With my glasses on both of those could be spotted with the magnifiers. The tiny bit the broad mites are bigger, made all the difference. And even the flat mite seemed to be a softly bigger species, so that the stark contrasting red dot could be spotted. This time? Nah. And to give me a great start fighting this problem: I planned to get up early to get myself a truckload of predatory mites before work, but I overslept after a sleepless night. Maybe I'll manage tomorrow. Or not. Things have been stressful as is. If you've followed this rant along this far, thanks. I needed to vent. Don't forget to send virtual kicks. I will deceptively attach a picture of a rose because a) hoyas make me sad rn, b) I don't think you would appreciate a huge flat mite picture in your feed c) that rose was gorgeous and d) who cares, I myself can't see it anyway. For me, Greg's been completely without pictures for a while now. Again. #pestcontrol #hoya #hoyahangout #mitesarestupid #sadplant #formitessake

Flat mites (false spidermite) info posts. Under my rant about my current flat mite outbreak @debbiedo suggested, I supply some pictures and description of symptoms to help others spot their own outbreaks sooner (or, like me, spot those signs and ignore them, hence the rant). So here you go. My picture gallery of doom. Also: Should you have questions regarding specific pictures, please keep in mind, I'm flying blind, since at this point, Greg doesn't even show me my own pictures anymore. And if any relevant existing hashtags come to mind (I seem to remember we have some sort of "plantinfo-themoreyouknow" kind of thing), please relay them to me to add to the bunch. #pestcontrol #orchidlovers #hoya #hoyahangout #flatmites

I’ve been doing some research on this type of Hoya I recently received; I’m not as familiar with Hoyas. But this one I’ve been reading says it was previously known as and is no longer considered this type of Hoya? I’m very confused so maybe someone else far beyond my level can explain it? Ha ha 😂 it’s called a ‘Previously Vitellinoides’ my only understanding with previously known as limits to previously known as Prince 👑 the musical artist.. I know I’m really saying age here. 😂😂 #Hoya #HoyaHangout #HoyaHeads #TheThread #TheWateringHole #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict

Don't mind me, just me lying down beneath my blooming bella. 😍 Other hoyas that have opened since my last post are added as well. The now fully open sp. vietnam, and some especially pretty balls of flouff, another Mini Pixie bloom next to a 1ct coin for scale. And for the guessing game fans among you, a mystery peduncle which will be my absolute moment of pride when it opens. #plantsmakepeoplehappy #hoyahangout #hoyahangout

So I worked really hard and combined a lot of my succulents into combined pots to make more room on my succulents table. Gave my 4yr old Jade tree some new dirt. Watered all my succulents. I deserve a treat right? And PBJ plant shop on Etsy sent me a 15% coupon and I didn't want it to expire so I ordered a new plant for all my hard work 🙃 #happyplants #hoyahangout

So some jealous Karen neighbors out where I stay out called the fire marshal and complained about my plants on the balcony I now I have to bring in all my plants. They can't be outside. The fire marshal said it was a fire hazard and somebody might trip. 🤦‍♀️. My plants have been sitting on that balcony in the summer for 2 years. Never any complaints. I had to bring in 30 plants. So of course I had to order another grow light 🙄. Not too sure about the placement. I feel like just the front ones are getting light. I might have to crawl my old fat butt on top of the fridge to play around with placement of the light. #happyplants #hoyahangout #hoyaheads #plantcorner #plantlove #plantsmakepeoplehappy

Came home from a long day at work to this... I sprayed her down with dead bug brew, neem oil and a (fungicide bc why not?) I just seen a post on here the other day about flat mites that affect hoyas? There is no way I can isolate her. My apartment is too small and I have way too many plants but bc shes so big shes not really in close proximity to many plants. #happyplants #hoyahangout #hoyaheads #hoyas #hoyapubicalyx #plantsmakepeoplehappy

Got these cute little pots at Walmart yesterday before work. Came home last night and planted them. I had them in terracotta. I can't stand hoyas in terracotta. I feel like I'm watering them every 3 days. #happyplants #hoyahangout #hoya #plantsmakepeoplehappy #hoyaheads #plantcorner #plantlove
