Not sure yโ€™all are ready for this planty horror storyโ€ฆ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘น
I worked Memorial Day, so had a little extra holiday pay burning a hole in my pocket. ๐Ÿ’ธ I decided to use some of it to order a wishlist plant- The โœจโœจ hoya heuschkeliana variegataโœจโœจ ๐Ÿชด
Wellโ€ฆAnywhoโ€ฆ. the flipping mailman put it ON THE GROUND against the GARAGE DOOR behind where we park!!! And my husband backed out and ran over it. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ Poor guy was mortified and texted me at work panicking. I finally unpotted today and itโ€™s a mess. But as my dear friend @dreammachine reminded me, hoyas are rock stars of resilience. I dried my tears, repotted the best I could, and have her in a good spot with good soil, humidifier ๐Ÿ’ฆ and grow light ๐Ÿ’ก. Fingers crossed, Hail Marys prayed, prayers sent up that she will hunker down and come soaring back like a phoenix ๐Ÿฆโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ rising from the ashes! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

@MamaLinne โ€œplease donโ€™t leave me!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
@IWantThatPlant I love that line too ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
@MamaLinne deep breaths ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ it will be ok!! They are the bad*sses of the plant world. I picture hoyas with a slight glare, folding their arms, in a figurative sense, and saying, โ€œyeah? So what ๐Ÿ˜’โ€

That plant has been on my wish list for a year, and even though this is a horror story, I think youโ€™ve inspired me to actually go get one, with my Memorial Day weekend ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ˜…
Oh my ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
As long as it has roots, and even if it doesnโ€™t ๐Ÿ˜‚ it should be ok. My heusch variegated I got last year grows like a weed and blooms. With mealybugs!
