It took us about a week working on it part-time, though two of those days my husband worked on it for about 5 hours straight. Staining and organizing all of the pieces by step in advance definitely saved some time when we started bringing them outside!

Great project! I need to make something like this myself! The simplest way to cut that hole would probably have been a holesaw drill bit rather than manually trying to cut around it... You would have had a perfect little circle, and they're pretty cheap to buy.
@ByBrittanyG3 күн бұрын
But that would mean I would have had to be patient enough to wait to buy the holesaw drill bit LOL. Patience is not my strong suit :)

I know it's hard but...pruning! I trim my plant all the time. When you cut the stems, new growth will sprout kind of at an angle. Over time, this creates a really full look

You can put them in a ziplock! Just make sure they are totally dry first. I sometimes let mine sit on paper towels for several days just to make sure. I have a few piles going right now :)

I bought a compacta last April or May (It's now Sept 2024) Boy, is she a s l o w grower! I have go my mom's Hoya Carnosa almost one year ago. The plant is about 60 years old, and as far as I know, she has only bloomed twice. I assume that mom was snipping the peduncle off after the blooms were done! I have it in a west window with bright filtered light. She is growing well, but so far, no peduncles.....

If the new growth is small, it's probably not getting enough light. I have mine in pretty bright indirect light.

How and where on the plant do you prune? We have the regular green and a variegated rope Hoya. Our older one, about 2 years old, is blooming for the first time. Just one bloom so far. The variegated one is much slower to grow, but is doing well. Thank you for all the tips!👍🏻
@ByBrittanyG19 күн бұрын
Of course! I basically don't prune mine unless there are stems with bare areas. Then I just snip them off and try to root them to make more plants. If this plant has enough light, it really shouldn't need much pruning because it shouldn't be leggy or have bare areas on the stems.

I have one that has a stem like the one you showed.. should I trim it back or leave it until it grows bigger?

@ByBrittanyG3 ай бұрын
Hi! You could combine them all now and trim once they are combined or trim and wait. Personally I'd combine now and trim to let them get settled. As for removing the moss and pebbles, I'd soak the substrate and then gentle pick it all off from the roots. Then combine into one pot with a fresh substrate :)
