Hoya heart

Post by JaneO »

It is with regret that I announce the forthcoming demise of my Valentine Heart. It will not come as a surprise to those in the 'know'.

Shame.
But that's a lovely Graptopetalum bellum I see!

I guess it's lasted longer than a bunch of red roses would have. There was an article about Hoyas last year and it was interesting to see that they can sometimes start to grow.

Hi Mike,
It is indeed. Poised to flower. Even the little one off the side has a bud. One of my favourites.

an amateur of Hoyas told me that they did not take the petiole from the leaf and that this leaf could not produce a stem and therefore a plant: true or false ?
