Tropicals & Tender Perennials: hoyas in hydroponic pots, 0 by Bhavana34

I knocked my little hydro hoya over this week and was pleased that the cuttings stayed in place even though about half of the little clay aggregate balls were rolling off in every direction...that had to mean that there were some roots in there, anchoring them in. I cleaned up the mess and then looked at the bottom of the inner pot, and it was loaded with nice, white, healthy roots....it took about 6 weeks but the plant has some new growth too, a set of leaves and 2 vines peeking their way up and through.

I am a little suprised that it took so quickly to this way of growing, even though alot of people told me it would. I need to get more materials, I would love to start more hoyas and other plants this way. From what I have been reading, almost every plant, including succulents/cacti, will do well in hydroponics.

Here is a pic of the bottom of the inner pot, sorry it is out of focus, my batteries in my digital are half dead, I am surprised it took any picture at all.
