Someone followed me home yesterday 😉
I’ve decided to trellis a few of my Hoyas, and in my hunt for trellises, this cute little Hoya Thomsonii Pink jumped right into my hand! Wild right?!?
She must have known that I didn’t yet have a FUZZY Hoya 😍🙌
I guess this means one more Hoya to torture me as it takes FOREVER to even hint at a peduncle 😂
The second pic is a Hoya Krinkle 8 they had for $120 😬 SOOOOOO many blooms and peduncles already!

@debbiedo oh you were almost into dangerous territory there, by NOT having a fuzzy leafed hoya?! Phew, you’re safe now! I think the shock would have been too much for Susann @MusicalRedmint and I, had you not. 😉
@debbiedo good find, sometimes they follow me home too 😊congratulations 🎉 😂
Wow 🤩 that Krinkle 8 is ah-may-zing!!! 😲 And $120 isn’t so bad for the size of that beast! 👹
What did you find for trellises? Although I prefer to shop locally, I’ve had good luck on AMZ with both metal and bamboo. Although some of the plastic ones are cute they’re not sturdy enough for the heavier Hoyas. I really like the big circular metal trellises or the U shaped bamboo or traditional bamboo trellis. Love your new addition 🤗. She’s adorable 🥰

@debbiedo
Such a variety...
Trellis, fuzzy, and beautiful flowers.
My question is: How in the world do you climb up to water your plant that's on the trellis?
I would love to put my Golden Pathos on such a trellis so she could grow in all her splendor instead of having to prune her!

That Krinkle 8 is goals. Or rather, a specimen like it, but not quite as pest prone. To be able grow a hoya out like this would be marvelous.
Congrats on the (sp.aff.?) thomsonii. But, like @DreamMachine had pointed out: what do you mean, no fuzzy hoya until now. What happened!!! Once more, I wish I was closer to all of you. You would get a huge emergency fuzzy furry flouff packet STAT. (Including an extremely fuzzy echeveria to make up for years without fuzz).
Had to smile at your comment regarding blooms. to go for a thomsonii of all plants to ward off the bloom curse... I wish you luck. I think if the stars align and you chant thrive into the mirror at midnight, I think it is even able to bloom it early on. 😀 but I gather you've read up on her already, if I understand the comment correctly? If not: Doug Chamberlain's assumption about photoperiod (maybe in addition to a slight temperature shift) seems to hold true. I got this 🤏close this year to blooming her. I think. Maybe. 😅 enjoy your new darling. Flouff away.

@debbiedo I just took a second look and that is one huge beautiful Hoya: 🤩 absolutely stunning 💯

@Preciousplants1 good afternoon Sherri! We are having the same kind of wild weather! It’s been 50°’s - 60°s and raining non stop so far this June, and now we’re about to get a heat wave 🥵 My poor plants outside are probably so confused.
Love your new babies from Deb @MamaLinne !! That’s the best 🥰🥰

#TheWateringHole #TheThread @debbiedo Good Afternoon, everyone! Warm and hot 🥵 here in New Mexico! Temperature at 90• degrees! I have had several Plant Mails from my favorite nursery called Gabriella Plants. I decided to buy now, before it really gets hot! 🥵 Here are a few photos of the plants, I have received! Everyone have a great Tuesday afternoon on purpose! 😉 My Ficus Elastica Shivereana, who is already sprouting out a new 🍃 and my Philodendron Moonlight 🌖.
@debbiedo Wow!!! 🤩 Simply gorgeous, Hoyas. That Hoya Krinkle 8, that name is awesome, and looking at how beautiful it is!! 🙌😍
@SweetAzurebluet hi Harriet, those are stunning absolutely beautiful. You have a green thumb 👍🏽 🫶🏽🙏🏽
@DreamMachine hey Nadia yeah I don’t know what’s going on with this weather. But I’m hopeful. My garlic 🧄 didn’t come back this year and onions 🧅. Hopefully thing will even out.

I don’t want to complain because I know that July August, and September 2 are going to be scorchers 👍🏽🫶🏽😂

@Preciousplants1 Congratulations on the newly sprouted 🍃🍃! 🙌👏🏾 I believe they’re trying to adjust, just give them time! 😉
@Preciousplants1 Along with this NM weather, that’s helping them thrive. This would never had happened, when I was living in New York! 😉
@CutePolypremum Hi Joanie!! Do you have one of these watering pressure sprayers? It has a nice long hose attachment, that’s how I water hard to reach plants. And you don’t need to pump it up 💯 if you don’t want the super high pressure spray 😉 They even make backpack style ones so they’re easier to carry around.
@MusicalRedmint Never fear! As your west coast representative, 🫡 I can mail flouffy fuzzy leaves to @debbiedo ! Debbie is actually overdue for a plant mail from yours truly, so stay tuned!! Sp aff burtoniae just made it to the top of my plant mail list ✅1️⃣
@DreamMachine, don’t you love those sprayers? I always kinda feel like Ghostbusters (the old classic one) when I get these ready to go spray. Ha ha 😂 @debbiedo that fuzzy Hoya SOOO FUZZY! It’s amazing! 😻 I do love 💕 when plants follow you home; I mean how could you not bring it home 🏠 when it was calling your name.. 🤷♀️☺️ that krinkle 8- I’m sitting here how long did it take to grow that long; and someone has a velvet touch not one broken leaf and it’s so clean. I’m all thumbs 👍 when it comes to cleaning 🧼 my planties. 🤦♀️ ugh, 😩 my painful truths 🤣
@CutePolypremum hi Joanie (and everyone)!! I feel like Santa Clause, or maybe an Italian grandma - you may not see me, but I’m keeping an eye out and catch up eventually. 👀 😂 beautiful Hoyas, and WOW to the Krinkle (or Kringle 🤔) 8 @debbiedo Great babies @Preciousplants1 !! @SweetAzurebluet I am joining you on the plant mail watch! 🫡 I had the same thought about buying before it gets too hot. @Idplantthat I loved your pics of your niece and the dogs the other day! @DreamMachine 50-60s, I’m jealous!! We were in 90s last week and just popped down a little bit the last few days, but we’re going back up to the 90s by Thurs 😫 @MariansOasis I was just spreading your tip about the azalea pots at the plant shop this weekend!! On my end, pleased to report that my Polly has decided she’s ready to behave and came back out to play. Just noticed a new baby in my moonshine snake plant today too. I’m about ready to keep the babies and ship out the parent plants to make more room. 😂 I’ll throw in a pic of my new begonia Spirit of Zanzibar (and in the dark to see the blue). Been on a begonia kick lately. The plant mail I’m waiting on is a Black Magic (finally!) and a Hallows Eve (seemed fitting) from Steve’s Leaves.
@SweetAzurebluet kinda like Texas: I’m having the hardest time this year but staying hopeful. Thank you my friend 🙏🏽🫶🏽
@Jho omg that begonia is to die for!!! In the darker pic it almost looks like a pansy. And your Polly, wow 🤩
So nice to see you here “Santa”. 🤭🫢

@Preciousplants1 You’re welcome, my dear! 😉
@Jho Beautiful plant oasis, and Congratulations 👏🏾 on the sprouting new baby from your 🌕shine 🐍 Plant! 🙌 I have ordered from Steve’s Leaves, several times, and those plants, you ordered sounds exciting! Yes, definitely order now, before the heatwave really starts. I am expecting 2 more plants from Gabriella this coming week! ENJOY your Plant Mail! 😉
@Idplantthat I am in the same boat, I think my plants are saying” Don’t just water 💦 me, dust me off too! 😫🤦🏾♀️
@Jho
Hello dear Josh!
So good to hear from you...
We're experiencing the same yucky weather as you.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful plants with us.
Hang in there kiddo!!

@CutePolypremum always good to see you pop up in my feed Joanie! @SweetAzurebluet I hope they arrive in pristine condition for you!! 🤞 @MariansOasis haha thanks!! They do like a little ‘flowery’ - except no waiting for blooms!! 👻 @DreamMachine thanks!! The one pictured is a Spirit of Zanzibar, because it was in front of me at the plant shop I have no willpower. I was literally shining my phone flash on it, like, “..is that what I think it is??!” The Hallows Eve is coming via plant mail but looks very similar. Just has orange in the centers, and not sure about iridescence. I will report back when I get it. 🤓
@Jho ahh, I see! oh wow, so I recently did the same thing with a very similar begonia because I also have no willpower but I didn’t shine my phone at the leaves! Must go check!
@SweetAzurebluet thank you 🙏🏽 I’m so proud of them,
I know it takes time, I just want them to thrive
I know it takes time, I just want them to thrive
#TheWateringHole @debbiedo Just want to let everyone know what a group of enablers we have here! I was feeling a little left out since I hadn’t bought any new plants recently. After no plants followed me out of Walmart yesterday, I stopped by the Home Depot after work today. I have been feeling a little down this week so I decided I needed a little plant therapy. I think I exercised great willpower since I managed to only buy just one. This beautiful manjula pothos attracted my attention. I just might have a new plant addiction!
@MariansOasis Are you spying on me?! 😂 I only found one in town and it ended up being too tall for my space. So these all came from AMZ 🤷♀️
@DreamMachine SO glad I avoided being fuzzy-free 😅 I certainly don’t want to disappoint you and @MusicalRedmint 😬
@Preciousplants1 Thank you Sherri!
@MusicalRedmint Oh how I’d LOVE to get a huge emergency fuzzy furry fluff packet!!! 😮😍😭 And I’ll start the chanting ASAP 😉
@Preciousplants1 Isn’t she a beauty? I didn’t buy her, but I’ve been wondering if I should have…
@DreamMachine OOOOMMMMGGGG! I can’t wait!!! 🙌👏❤️🎉😮
@Idplantthat I know, I’d feel almost guilty owning it when I hadn’t grown it 😂 Evidently there are two more like it available so I’m still considering…
@RefinedSandwort Happy to help enable you to bring that pretty Manjula home 😍 I’ve never had good luck with those, so please send update pics so I can live vicariously through you 👀
@debbiedo
It's the second to the right of the plants that you photographed for this post.
I want my Golden Pathos to trail downwards as she is doing now.
The pot would be at the very top, close to the ceiling.
The more I do research, the more that I'm leaning on not try to try to find a trellis but instead look for a long, narrow stand or piece of furniture for her.
Thanks again! 😘

Omg fuzzy Hoya!! @sarah10orio you holding out on me? ❤️🤣🤣 Guh! I need to touch it! @debbiedo 🤷♀️🤣
@debbiedo @MusicalRedmint I’ll wait to send after I get these broad mites taken care, shall I? 😂😂
I totally clipped some to start propping, and then thought… 💭 …oh yeahh, the mites! 🤓🫠🤣🤪
But never fear! I have cucumeris mites going to be delivered this coming week 🙌 After several rounds of good mites they will be neurotically checked and rechecked before any plants sent 👍👌
OOH, AND, if you ever need beneficial bugs, I HIGHLY recommend Evergreen Growers!! They only ship to OR and WA and the prices were so freaking reasonable!! I ordered 10,000 cucumeris mites with expedited shipping for $41. 🤯 And I got the rapid release ones, which are a touch more spendy than the slow-release “preventative” ones.

@DreamMachine Oh good point! I would greatly appreciate not having any stowaways! 😬
And I’m definitely going to check out Evergreen Growers at some point. I’ve been waiting since I used to use systemic 😬

@debbiedo lol 😆 yes I’m spying! 🕵️♀️👀. Trellises are looking great 👍🎉
@MariansOasis It’s like you were in my brain as I was trellis shopping 😂 I think they look pretty sad and empty right now, but it’ll be fun to watch them fill in!
