Can I divide her?

This plant is a beast. She's been blooming like crazy and I love how delicate they are. 💜💜

I will need to repot her again. I love her so much and don't want to risk killing her. I may try and divide her but I don't know if that the right thing to do?

Has anyone divided theirs? Tips welcome!

Pandurata Vietnam about to explode!!!

(Ignore the sulfur spots, all my hoyas are getting a sulfur spray down.)

I broke this poor plant off at the main stem several months ago taking it off a trellis and cried. I chopped and propped it successfully. It is so covered with peduncles setting blooms I am stunned. I counted over 40.

It's never bloomed for me and all I can say is I sure hope it's a pleasant smell, cuz it'll fill the whole main level!

Carnosa is a beast!

Lots of crazy trailing growth on this one. I have many trellised and decided to let this one be free. 😂

Love the burgundy new growth and the funky fasciation mermaid tail vibe.

Verticillata: my favorite pep

The first pic was last June. She's grown so much since then and is blooming all over. Her blooms are very delicate compared to some of my other peps

Howwwwwww?!! 😫

I had a thrips outbreak and have been watering with a systemic for the last 6 weeks. All seems well and I’m beginning to phase off the systemic and onto SNS 209. This plant is still being watered with the systemic.

So how in the heck did it get the mother of mealy bug infestations?!!!! I was getting ready to water and saw this today. 2 weeks ago nothing.

I don’t see any legs but I’m thinking it’s wishful thinking thinking to hope it’s the white fuzzy stuff you get on string of pickles. Right?

My first Chop and Extend

I decided to experiment with my first chop and extend with my satin pothos. I was new to moss poles when I started and my success was iffy.

I snipped the stem a few days ago to let it harden off. have mismatched grow thickly moss poles so had to get creative. I managed to get it all together and re-potted. It's tippy, but the spot imhave for it allows it to lean safely. Watering it will be an adventure but I'm game to see how it goes. Fingers crossed

Hawthoria help

I've had this Hawthoria for about 15 months. It's the only one I own and I'm a bit clueless. It's grown a lot but the bigger/older section looks a bit rotted. I pulled off a few leaves and included a picture. I've included a pic from when I first got it. The windows are not as translucent and bright as they were when I first got it.

It's in a gritty mix in a well draining clear pot that sits in a cache pot after being bottom watered. I do have it under a very bright barina growlight, about 4 inches away, perhaps too close? I just up-potted it as it was growing roots out the sides of the little pot it was in. I did not notice any smell of rot.

Should I remove the affected section? If so is it savable?

Is the growlight too harsh?

Thanks for any insights on how to proceed with it.

Sun stress to die for!

I found pieces of some calico kitten on the floor at trader joes. I asked if I could take them and they looked at me like I was nuts and said go for it. She's grown into a beauty and the color under my grow lights is insane 💗

I love my raindrop sooooo much

Some of my peps were not happy with my scorched earth thrips treatment: being sprayed or dunked in my Castile soap/alcohol/peroxide/water pest spray and then being treated with a systemic. To be fair I have so many plants I left some to soak/bottom water too long as it was an overwhelming job. But my Raindrop is doing great.

I love her rich glossy leaves, theirnear perfect heart shape and her chicken feet like flowers. 💗

ID help for the specific variety of this variegated Namatanthus

I got this lovely variegated goldfish plant but the tag merely says Namatanthus. Is anyone familiar with the specific variety?

ID help?

Update:. ID confirmed by seller. The first one is as we all guessed: Peperomia Rosso.

The second is Peperomia Velutina. I'd never heard of that one before. Matches what I see on Steve's leaves.

I bought these today without any labels. I'm pretty sure the first is Rosso or a Rosso hybrid. I'm unclear on the second one. I messaged the seller but I'm curious if it's a known pep for folks here. Thanks.

Last gasp for life

I have been attempting to prop a few hoyas that had dry rot and they are NOT cooperating. I typically have near 100% success so I am guessing these guys were just too far gone when I caught it. But I am giving it one last shot.

But.....they keep blooming in my prop box! Especially the multiflora and lacunosa! The multiflora has bloomed 4-5 times. I thought for sure it had rooted, but zip, nada, nothing! So I cut it back and am giving the stubby little stem one last try. The lacunosa has bloomed even more but has multiple cuttings trying to root. I just potted up several rooted cuttings and am giving these guys one last chance to live.

The Hoya MA 107 got it's first peduncle and set blooms in the prop box. I got excited and when I saw this and went to check the roots and they just fell off. 😩😂 I decided I might have been rooting it upside down and, regardless, I had no space left to root without cutting off the peduncle and I really want to see the blooms. I mean, it may die so I want to see them once. 😂 So I cut to fresh white latex and am rooting from the other end. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Worth a shot.

It's quite freeing when you have over 160 thriving plants: you get a bit bolder about trying things and a bit less freaked out about failures (I don't spends hundreds per plant)

Do I cut these off?

Do I cut off the shriveled dried up pitcher? Not sure if this is a normal thing or a result of treating for thrips. It's doing well otherwise and created a new pitcher.

She's a beauty

She had 6 peduncles ready to bloom when I had a thrips outbreak on a nearby plant. Everyone got dunked in my Castile soap/alcohol bath (no easy fete with her I tell ya!!) and treated with systemics. She blasted all but these two. Worth it to be sure to kill those little nasties! Grateful she graced me with these lovely blooms! They smell faintly of spiced chocolate.

Lowest HR at night ?

I have been concerned that my heart rate isn't dropping until 3-4 am. Then I thought about my medications and looked it up. I currently take 8mg of lomara in the morning and 50 mg of topamax before bed. I read that can impact this data. Has this been anyone else's experience?

My BP averages about 120/65, my insulin resistance is 5.2, a1c 5.3, cholesterol and all other markers excellent. My lowest HR averages 47 nightly.

Best/safest place to purchase on line

I lost my Tiger Paw Begonia momma. She was one of my favorites and did not survive the treatment for thrips all my plants received. Her 2 babies did but she did not. I am looking to buy another mature plant and have had zero luck sourcing one locally at nurseries or FB groups.

Other than a few hoyas from a Hoya specific grower I've never ordered a plant on line. I live in the Pacific NW, USA. Can you point me to a reputable place to source one of these? Thanks so much.

Picture of very sad and dead momma for pity tax
