Thanks so much for watching. I did use some of the spray repellent with differing results. I just hope we don't have so many rabbits next year.

I believe so. It removes some of the heavy metals etc so you should get same results. My plants are so much healthier! And shiny!

@@KimsGardensandHome thx for your comment, i will def get some. Since destilled water is kinda expensive here.

They work wonderfully.. bigger pots, just overlap. Small pots just quarter them. Back in the day, could get a 100 pack for a dollar. But who knows now. Paper towel works, bit of screening, small piece of material, whatever is on hand. Thanks for watching.

No, not at all. They have held up for years for me in icy winters and hot summers. So very easy to move around.

Oh, yes! I agree that they grow quickly and have such a lovely color. Sure has an apt name. Congrats on all the babies and I know they would make fine gifts. Thanks.

That's great. It will spread but pulls out in sheets to go elsewhere if you want. Blooms pretty!

What a wonderful Hoya history you have. Love that. Mine goes thru periods of lots of blooming, then stops for a year or more. It is now in a blooming period. I recently put it outside on a shady porch and water it a lot and fed it. She immediately popped out a bloom. I think drying out for long periods helps stimulate blooms and be sure to keep that spent bloom stalk. All it needs to do is "drop" off the tiny flower thingys, then that stem that is left will bloom again. A Bloom Booster feed might help, but just once in a while. Here's an affiliate link. amzn.to/3MfisSI But use any of those fertilizers with high middle number..NPK, middle number is Phosphorus which makes blooms or fruits. Good luck and I wish you well! 😀

@@KimsGardensandHome Thanks for the tips. I have a 2-3-2 general fertilizer I use on all my plants. They seem to love it, but you are right. I need to get something different for my blooming plants.

But may be splattered and messy too.

There is a dwarf variety that is only 10in maybe. But almost all I see are tall like 20 inches. The more you cut back, the bushier they get which helps them to stand upright. As for the spent blooms, when just finished, they can be thrown in the soil to decompose. If you leave some on the stems, they will dry out and have tiny pepper-like seeds inside. Then just break open and fling them where you want new ones to grow. At the end of the year, I gather branches and put in a paperbag or Not-airtight bag. In spring, shake the stems and have hundreds of seeds to plant. I have a 3-5 inch tall one now with a bloom. So cute. I will need to take a picture for the community page.

Good idea,

I have had some problems with mine and it has taken weeks or like a month and half before some roots showed. Keep trying. Maybe some rooting hormone? Hope it will finally work for you.

I don't know why. If it is dry, then that may be the color you are going to get. It may grow on you. Or hit it with some light wood stain?

@@KimsGardensandHome Thank you so much for replying Kim,I really appreciate it Lorna

I use oil or Pam spray most times. Simplest is just plastic and makes interesting creases in the hypertufa.

I have had good luck with tap water. I guess maybe I could buy distilled but that could get expensive during the summer days when you're filling twice a day.

Absolutely can be used for indoor plants. I would NOT use it outdoors at all (as I say in videos and posts on website) since it kills pollinators too. I don't have butterflies and bees inside but I sure do outside and I don't want to harm them.

Great things out there!

Thanks. I know you will love them.

@@KimsGardensandHome thanks! I actually might get blooms already! I'm excited! 😁

A bit. Not completely but some activity stopped.

You bet!

Well, this is an older video. Sad that I can't find prices like that anymore.

Thanks. I am having a lot of success with lights for my houseplants. The LED lights are not expensive on the electric bill either.

​@@KimsGardensandHomereally, which ones do you recommend I should buy and how many?

I probably water them in about a week. Then maybe once a month IF they seem very dry.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that you listened and watched.

My seedlings take a bit to reach an inch or so. But after that, it goes quickly. I have a lot of new ones about 6-8 inches tall and they are blooming!

Good idea but most of my packages would not fit in this small door. Also, just for safety, we have a huge freezer against it on the other side now. Can't be too careful these days.

Yes, isn't that great. I enjoy that too!

I haven't made anything like that yet. Maybe one day.

Love seeing them getting red.

Isn't that the truth! I hate bringing in pests from outside. It has made me really cautious.

As in any of the stores, it depends on how the plants are handled and watered. I have seen hardy succulents inside in colder weather stretching for sunlight and "drowning" in cache pots. Lately, a lot of ceramic pots are sold with the plants and they will have two inches of water in them with the surface soil mushy, just a plant waiting to die. It is a shame that people who don't know how to take care of plants are taking care of plants. Sad sight at any of the stores.

I tried the boiling and that was the least favorite. It seems to make it more into ham jerky but I probably did it too long. Probably 30minutes boiling. Too much.
