Same. Wild times.

But then you'd be a premium user and in a demographic even more likely to spend money so you'd get "catered purchase opportunities" from advertisers that paid even more for your special eyes...

That's my name! Am I a plant?

 

Perfume is a bit fainter than my other Hoya but Inigo makes up for it with pretty blooms.

 

Flat mites are becoming super common in the Hoya world, but because they're so hard to see and do damage so slowly most people don't know about them. A lot of cases of plants failing to thrive, never growing, or just looking sickly and slowly dying may be due to flat mites. You can see them easily with a cheap handheld magnifier, usually on the underside of leaves near the base.

To cut to the chase, mix 2 tbs of sulfur with a gallon of water, shake vigorously, and put it in your sprayer. Shake frequently while spraying. Do it outside, we call it farting on our plants for a reason...

The gracilis (memoria?) pictured looked OK but it was next to patient zero, a fitchii that is just now coming back from the brink of death. The gracilis is suddenly growing like mad a month after farting. I left the sulfur residue on the leaves as a preventative so you can easily tell the new growth from old.
