Hoyas Pubicaly Mottle…

I knocked off one star because it came with no instructions, but I chose it because I did a search for plants that would do well with filtered light from a northern exposure and this was one of them the article said would work. It was small but I've had it less than a month and it's grown quite a bit. I also read that it likes being root bound so I have it in a tiny pot about the size of a jar that strained baby food comes in. I read that when you transplant it into a larger pot it will slow the growth so I'm waiting awhile.

The plant took almost 10 days to arrive in a box beat up by USPS, despite being labeled fragile - but I blame the current conditions for that, not the sellers fault. The plant was quite wilted with 2-3 leaves lost, despite a well packed root ball with moist bark medium. Leaves had some silvery green residue, perhaps a fertilizer.This is not a 5" vine as advertised in the description, rather two rooted node cuttings whose leaf span is several inches. Though rooted, there does not appear to be new growth yet. I would have expected 2-3 nodes with leaf clusters on a 5" vine. This cutting was $17.I potted up the cuttings with Osmocote fertilizer and cleaned the leaves. The plant seems cute with occasional splash variagation, and I am excited to see what new growth looks like. It's in a shaded but bright spot outside to stimulate a little new growth before cool weather comes.Edit: 8 month update. This plant has shot up two feet in 8 months over winter and spring. It grew actively even over northeastern winter (fertilizer helped). I have it in a semi western window with bright light. Planted in very loose succulent soil in a fabric pot for good drainage. Watered once a week with very diluted Jacks all purpose fertilizer.

I'm very happy, my first plant was damaged and dried out upon delivery and shortly after that review I received a new one that is growing healthily. I was surprised and pleased to receive a new plant without even asking.

The plant is not very healthy. I really like Hoyas but this one seems frail.

Plant arrived after about a week. Several leaves were floating in the styrofoam packing. No instructions. Plant looked a little dried out. Root ball wrapped OK, but could have used a little more moisture for the voyage. Planted in small pot. We’ll see how she turns out.

Very timely arrival, Nicely packaged and it looks very healthy!! I planted this in Miracle Grow potting soil yesterday morning and it is already reaching for the windows light 🙂

So surprised was shipped to Alaska and packaged well. Still moist when it arrived

Came in at a decent time and the plant was healthy upon arrival.
