After getting my mounted H. darwinii, I decided that this was something i'd like to try and do myself with a few hoyas that I find to be a bit tricky to grow in soil such as H. imbricata and H. mitrata of which i've killed at least a half dozen or so plants!!!!

I have a friend who owns a pet store locally so I stopped by to visit and check out her new store and while I was there I found some cork wood which I wasn't even looking for at the time but since it was there I bought it.

It was one large piece of wood that I cut into 2 pieces and mounted my first 2 hoyas.


This is H. imbricata. I almost killed this plant once but managed to save a small piece. It is growing and after seeing pics online of how this one likes to attach itself to trees I thought it would be a good choice for my first attempt at mounting a hoya.
