Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Setting up Hoyas, 1 by tropicbreeze

Needless to say I was anxious to get home to see what effect this had on the Hoyas. However, there was no apparent problem with any of them. Most looked exactly the same as when I first potted them up after they arrived 2 weeks ago. But the H. ciliata (ILM 0390) had put on a burst of growth, a new shoot of about 30mm. The cv Gold Star (IML 0143) has a new fine shoot of about 5mm. The rest aren't showing any signs of either progress or deterioration. Still, it's only 2 weeks so far.

I turned off the drippers as being home for the next few days I can do manual watering if needed. The soil in the pots is damp but not wet. But I did mix in a lot of perlite into it to make it drain well.
