I like the coat hanger too just couldn't find my keys to the shop, which in turn had the wire cutters in there so I just came up with this. I know some people don't like the bamboo b/c it rots but we'll see how long it lasts. Gabi
Creative?? Not really, just broke from buying so many darn hoyas!!!! :-) shanna |

| Shanna, That turned out great, looks like it does the job. By the way how's the buds of your Speckled carnosa doing? Can't wait to see the bloom. |

| It looks very neat, Shanna. In my climate, I hang my hoyas outside, in the shade house, and I tie them to the wire hangers. But I've seen most of you people don't hang your hoyas so you must have trellis. Yours looks very nice and I think it will do the job well enough. Maybe you can patent (sp.?) it LOL! Xuan |

The buds are getting bigger and none have fallen off or blasted. I was going to take a pic this morning because I think it is within a couple day's of opening but didn't have enough time. I will try to take a pic of it tonight if I can remember and post tomorrow. I am very excited. Xuan
I would love to hang my hoyas too but with growing them inside my house, my hubby will only put so many hooks (holes in the stud walls) for me. I do have 3 in the macrame (sp) hangers 2 with another plant hanging from the bottom of the macrame and also one more on a hook in the dinning room with no macrame. I just have to settle with tables for now until I get my sunroom and there will be a hanger in every stud wall avaliable around the eastern and southern floor to celing windows (we've already discussed it) The trellis' are ok just kinda wobbly even with a heavy catch pot b/c of potting them in small pots and then so many leaves and thick vines at the top. shanna |
