Thanks to Carol and Patricia (YEA!), I had quite a bit of rooting to try to figure out this weekend. After seeing Heather's post on her "rooting home," I got busy and made a "rooting home" of my own. I took a combination of everyone's suggestions, and figured, hopefully, I'd have luck with at least ONE of them, right?! Anyway, I got two wet/dry heating pads, put cookie sheets on top for even distribution of heat, placed two disposable roasters with plastic lids on the cookie sheets. In the roasters, I put the "baby hoyas," each in a plastic cup with perlite/potting soil mixture. Snapped the lids on and, VOILA! I then took the long vines and put them in plastic baggies filled with some potting soil, and set them on the heating pad, too. I took two pictures of my "rooting home - PLEASE give suggestions if you see something else I should do! Then, for the cherry on top - I GOT MY FIRST FLOWER!!!! Two pictures of h. nummularoide follow also. What a great hoya weekend - hope all yours were great also! Karen (Now, where did DH go to.....has anyone seen my DH??)
