I have found a few new ones blooming.
Tami
Hoya Limoniaca
Here's another shot.
Tami
Gorgeous blooms. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Hey, Patti, Thanks
Tami
Gorgeous!! I'd love to trade you for some of this in the spring if you have enough to cut some. How are the other cuttings fairing? I got most of yours to root, the polyneura is just barely hanging on with 2 little roots, I keep hoping it'll take off. The others rooted though, even got new growth on one. The germination mat made all the difference.

Kim, I lost only the ischnopus cutting. I just couldn't save it. I think that's all I lost. What do you need replaced. I should have something to cut. I rooted mine in a Hydrophonic type container and put it on the heat mat. I'm slowly killing the Polynura again.
Tami
Glad to hear that i'm not the only person who has a tough time growing polyneura,though I think mine is finally starting to like where its at.

My toughest by far has been serpens. I just cannot make that one happy no matter what I do. I have lost countless cuttings of it. I think I just wasn't meant to grow it.
Tami....I'll have to look and see but if the polyneura doesn't make it then we're both in the same boat on that one. I had one of those before and also lost it. On the plus side, the krinkle 8 you gave me has a peduncle! I'll get you a replacement on that ischnopus in the spring. I think I may have a rooted one, have to check, if not I'll take a cutting and root it for you.

Kim,
Just let me know what you want. We can wait until Spring or during the next loop of regular Texas Winter weather. ;-)

Kim I cant beleive you are having trouble growing H. serpens. It grows like a weed for me and since i've been watering it with this beer stuff it has really kicked into overdrive!
I keep mine potbound in a 6" basket and keep it moderately moist at all times. It seems to be one that doesnt like to be too dry. It hangs from the center rafter in my hoya house and gets very bright indirect light for most of the day and loves it.
I cant say that i've had the best of luck with getting it to bloom though. My plant is covered with peduncles and has been for most of the 2 years that i've had it. I've had it bloom twice for me and each time it was with only one clump of flowers.
I had it outside when it bloomed the first time. The second time it was in the tropical house. Now that it is in it's permanent location and growing so well with this new fertilizer it has put on even more peduncles and looks like it might actually be going to bloom again.
H. curtisii and H. polyneura are the only 2 varieties that have given me any trouble at all when it comes to growing them.
I did have some trouble with the first H. lambii that I tried but this second one form DL is growing very nicely. Another one that grows like wildfire for me is H. retusa. No flowers yet but it's a very interesting plant even without flowers!
