Interesting Doug as my lowest leaves all turned yellow and fell of recently. They still have that sponge pellet around them although the roots have definitely grown out from that stuff in every direction into the hoya potting medium. But the sponge stuff does make it hard to be sure they aren't staying too moist right up close to the plant.

They did grow well in the sponge pellets to start with but I can see that it is a drawback now. I would start them the way you did if I ever get another chance at hoya seeds. The end result would be easier to deal with.

I decided to add one more picture. Here are the ones that are growing in the clay pellets. Actually the tallest seedling I have is the one growing by itself in the pellets....
