Same. Wild times.

If you leave them on the plant they do the coolest thing - eventually they dry out and pop poen and fling seeds several feet.

Hoyas like to wait. People say they like to be root bound, I think they just like to be unbothered for a long time. I said the same thing a year ago and now I have three that bloom regularly. My lacunosa has bloomed a week a month for the past 4 months.

It's weird, right? Cheap and effective.

Outstanding info that I wasn't aware of. We must do everything we can to protect out buzzy buddies.

I used to, now I have so many that's it's enough work to remember the species names.

Bit of this, bit of that. Mostly Hoya but I have some carnies for gnat control.

Well that's deeply unfortunate.

It pretty much kills the mites dead on contact, so I did everything once I understood the problem and all new plants will be doused, but unless I see mites on anything in the future I might make it an every coupla years thing. A few of my friends and I have a theory that sulfur is an important micronutrient for Hoya as we see bursts of growth on even plants that didn't have mites.

That's my name! Am I a plant?

The first blooms on a peduncle frequently blast. I had that happen on my carnosa, one little flower made it...

I think they're less sensitive after that first round. Good luck!

You should be able to get elemental sulfur. Even if it's not labeled a horticultural product, so long as it's 100% sulfur you're good to go.

I think if you rinse you must repeat but leaving it on works too.

Can you post a picture?
