Hoya boutii  And hoya sigilatis  I'm assuming because of there thinner leaves they like to stay moist. I just love the leaves on sigilatis . Any advice would be great. And thanks joni. The plants came beautifully . Packed so nice and neat. |

Oh, Lucky you! I'd do a search on this cubit if I were you - theres lots of great information - particularly on sigillatis (and everyone's trials and tribulations with this one  :)) |

| I was growing H sigitalis well and decided to lift it to a higher level to get more light........unfortunately it missed out on a few waterings, and I lost it...so I would say keep it moist, but I seem to remember Carol keeps hers dry ??? Carol ? H buotii does not like to dry out, and the flowers are really lovely and a good size.....here's a pic of mine in bloom...one of my favourites with a lovely scent  |
|

| Dominic, Is the colour of your buotii true in that picture?. Mine is going to bloom and it's more yellow than pink. I love this hoya tho whatever the colour. I'll try and put a picture of my plant because when it blooms it's covered in umbels. Dorothy. |

| Steven, Thanks for letting me know they arrived and my new and improved 'packing' is effective. I noticed you unclipped the top of H buotii...perfect!!!! Have fun growing them. I keep them both moist but not wet. Dorothy, My H buotii in bloom is more yellow also....either way is is gorgeous and an easy bloomer and 'rooter'.   |
|
|||
| Yes, Dorothy...it's a salmon pink color, I've been asked that before by people who have a yellower version....Prob my growing conditions..wasnt bought as a 'pink' variety, or anything like that. To me it has a smell somewhere between peach and salmon..........of the fishy variety.....Strange, but nice. Another photo of it  |
|
|||
| When I upload a photo, I use photoshop to try and get the color as true as poss, because they dont always photograph true to color.......my all time favourite was this H mac 'Rainforest', which really did flower this dark for me......Amazing plant... .  I have an IML 0016 or 0017 which is supposed to be darker...but I'm struggling with that one..maybe one day...:)) |

| Gorgeous Dom - stunning colour!! |
|
|||
| Really nice photos, everybody! Dom, I think I can see a difference in the shape and angle of the corona on your H buotii. Color is very appealing too. Do you know where this one came from? |
|
|||
| I got mine from Torill Nyhuss back in 2008 |
|
|||
| Thanks Dom, it looks different than the buotii the other Swedish growers have. Does it have any identifying number or collection names? I wonder if Ms. Nyhuss sells to any Americans... Thanks for showing us that gorgeous flower. |

| Maybe when they get bigger ill send you some cuttings |
|
|||
| Awwww! That's really sweet of you!!! I lust after buotti. I'm scared of sigitalis... Don't think I'm ready...  Are you still looking for pink & yellow heuschkeliana? Yellow's put on growth and probably will be ready to snip in spring!!...

| Laura, you have a very nice selection of hoyas; congratulations, I'm impressed!! Fondly, Patrick |
|
|||
| Steven, I have my H.sigilatis under the lights right now, but either under lights or in the greenhouse or outside, I don't let it go as dry as I do alot of the other Hoya's. And in Hot weather more water. The foliage is gorgeous but even more so in high light. H. boutii also, I got it very late last fall as a cutting and it's rooted and growing like a weed. I let it dry out a little more than H.sigilatis. This pic was taken when it had been hanging on the porch getting very bright light but no hot sun. I think your going to really enjoy these two !  |
|
|||
| ....H. sigallatis's happiness eluded me for the LONGEST time... I managed to murder quite a few...they rotted out. This one is happy in very high light, very warm (it swings from the top of the greenhouse), very lose 'soil' (actually about 60% hydroton and the rest bark chips and perlite) and it gets watered when it is DRY (when everyone else gets it...about every 5 days these days...3-4 for the smaller pots) and if it's hot/dry weather I spray it down every day with a hose. No "misting" my guys....when it rains in the tropics it strangles frogs!!!!! Leap. The net will appear. |
