Hi Joanne,

I've never heard of Dithane; can you pls. explain what that is &/or or how/why you use it. Thanks in advance (TIA).

Morning!

It is a fungicide and it is in a granular form and I use 3/4 tsp to 1 liter of water. I spray it and water once only on my cuttings to prevent any fungus and it sure does work.

Thought I remember reading in the other thread that someone had gotten pauciflora...any tips on rooting this one? I have a cutting that's struggling! HELP!

Thanks!

Hi there:

That was me (pauciflora). I'm new to rooting hoyas, but I dipped the ends in rooting hormone, and put them in a small pot (3 inches) inside a baggie. That was about it. I'm surprised you are having problems, as my little p. seemed to root very quickly and is growing leaves at the 3-4 week mark. Mind you, I was sent the cutting by a kind lady here in Canada, and it was only in transit about a week. That might have a lot to do with it...anyway, hope I said something that will help.

Hi everyone, greetings from Brazil!!!!!

I was just reading the topics about the cuts you all participate and I would like to know how they are doing after a year and a half!!!!!

Thank you very much if anyone could up to date information.......

Hi there,

Well I got I think it was 17 cuttings and I have lost not a one and even had some bloom already!

Very pleased with them all!!!

Anyone else?

Hi,

Nice to know that all your cuts are doing well!!!! Interesting because they are tropical plants, I wonder to know how they resist to the winter! Here is a tropical country and we don't face bad wheather (no snow at all)and we don't need a greenhouse to cultivate hoyas, so it is much more easier.....
