Have you ever tried semi-hydro? I find it to be an excellent way to propagate sensitive plants, such as Hoyas, and to grow plants that are sensitive to drought AND overwatering at the same time. Alocasias for example 🌿

Nice 😍 but do you think that Hoyas are sensitive? 🤔 even during propagation they’re almost bullet proof (in my opinion 😅)

I’ve encountered a number of beginner Hoya collectors who hasn’t succeeding on rooting them, unfortunately. Dries it or just shrivels due to being too wet. But I’m glad to hear that you find them to be easy ☺️

Hmmm, we’ll need articles and more research about this! Best way to propagate etc 😍

I’ve been loving Pon for my Hoyas!
