A Little Hoya Tri-Color Information for the masses!
MORE RESPECT FOR ONE OF THE BEST HOUSEPLANTS EVER
Here are some fresh pictures of two new air-layered, new, hoya plantlets off two of my very old, much larger Hoya Tri-Colors.
Air-layering can be very awkward, but the clones you make are healthy and vibrant. These are vines off of a decades old mother plant. Both of these plants are three years old... growing slowly, which is OK with me... and awesome.
I was compelled to make new plants from the vines that produced these wild color variations. I have a fantasy that the flowers will reflect the strange colors, but... I'll see what comes.
Just to let you know... bright light in a window, and ABSOLUTELY do not put these plants in a draft from an AC vent. The plant will drop leaves. I learned this sad fact many, many years ago!
So, if you have this plant you know what a joy it is. If not, go find one! Pay what you have to in order to get one with a nice healthy root system to start you off. You know Hoyas... their roots are very fickle.
OK... enjoy.
