David - are those thermometers by the plants? Karen
What do you use to heat that room? It is an amazing collections of hoya. You obviously have a green thumb & have created the right conditions for them.
Yes ...1 is a hygrometer measures the humidity..where I try and keep at 60%. and the other the thermometer which I try and keep temp. at 70 deg. I also never keep saucers under my hanging pots.I belive you get better air flow threw the soil....at times i will push a wire up into the bottom of the pot makeing sure roots are well aireated.
1 comment sorry to say,I hate white hanging pots,I think it takes away from the plants. question?
do any of you see white plants?
Not sure I'm with you here... What's wrong with white hanging pots? What do they take away from the plants? And what do you mean when you ask if anyone sees any white plants?

I just think green pots are more natural.
I also like the green pots better. I think they look nicer and I read that they keep the roots warmer too becaues white reflects light.
I like green hanging pots, but you can't find any that are 4". If you have any suggestions, I'm game!
Heather
I really enjoy your pictures. You have done a great job of displaying your hoyas and also maintaining a lot of them in a relatively small space. I like your lighting ideas.
Heather...I have some small green hanging pots and a 4" pot fits very nicely inside of it. I will try to find out where they are from....
Carol
Awesome Carol!! Let me know!
Heather
I would love to find 4' or 4.5" green pots as well! Carol, please do share your source! I really do believe my Hoyas like dark pots better than white. Then again, to each his own.
I like the white hanging pots too. my var. plants look so nice in them. I think it is a nice contrast between the green and white. Now they just need to make a nice 5 inch size so we can pot up correctly!!!
I would also like to find a source for the small green hanging pots. Haven't had any luck trying to goggle them. All the 4" or 4.5" green pots I've located are non-hanging varieties with no lips to drill for hangers (or saucers). If anyone finds anything, holler!!

Logees has all the green pots you want... phone 1-888-330-8038 toll free.
Thanks Sodapop! I'll check them out!
Heather
I looked at the website, but only saw plants offered. Do you have to call them to find out what they have?
Yes call them and ask for hanging pots. ..the pots they sell are only green. Yours truly David!!
Anyone else tried calling them? I called them today, and they said they didn't sell pots only. Only sell plants, with the pot. Weird. Is there some code word I should have used? Lol..
Heather
I wrote them an email asking about pots for sale, and this is the answer I got from them:
"Marcy: I'm sorry, we only sell the potted plants. In our retail office, we do sell standard clay pots, but we don't ship them out. We do sell baskets with some of our holiday-sized plants, but the baskets don't get sold alone. I'd call local greenhouses in my area, or even go to WalMart, to see what's available."

Hi David,

Thanks for answering David......
Oh David, thanks for the offer, but I thought they had 4" green ones. I can find 6". Thanks again for the suggestion, maybe they changed their policy.
