This annoys me.

This info was included with some plants I'd bought recently.

One of the reasons plants die is due to these plugs constricting the roots, often if one of my plants has been doing poorly, or even died, it's because of these plugs constricting the roots, preventing them from growing into the soil as they should.

They are like a tube of fabric made of something which doesn't break down.

If you find that your plant has a plug then I highly recommend removing it by gently cutting the plug vertically and peeling it away, trying to do as little damage as possible to the roots as you go.

If anyone on the East Coast of Oz wants cheap #hoyas.
See Nursery2U which has some nice varieties for
mere pocket money.

I've bought plants from there many times.

@Wolfie_Rankin

I had one of those leaf cuttings.
After 9 Month it grew a stem.
Unfortunately while trying to pot it into a larger pot, my then very young and playfull puppy grabbed it and ran into the garden.
I never found it...
Sad day.

Just a word on these for those of you who might not know much about plants, these aren't real plants, they are just leaves plucked from Hoya Kerrii and pushed into soil.

They are often seen in shops around Valentine's Day.

Nine times out of ten they don't grow unless the supplier has accidentally added a stem with a node on it, most of the time it will just be a leaf which will eventually fail.

Personally I think that cutting up a plant just to make these is a bit wrong, especially when you could have an entire plant for not much more than the cost of one of these, and get beautiful red flowers out of it within two years as a bonus.

The other issue is that if someone gets one of these and they lose it, they might end up feeling like they did something wrong, when they're clearly not at fault.

So look for Hoya Kerrii instead.

The Variegated form is the leaf on the Left, Plain green on the Right.

Good job Pat. Good job #Hoyas 🏀

My new #Hoyas are on their way :)

I love a plant delivery.

Want to see my newest #hoya #flower? So gorgeous, right? I had this plant mis-ID’d as Hoya ilagorium, but someone in a Hoya ID group said it’s likely Hoya blashernaezii ssp. siariae. What do you think? Do you have this one in your #plantcollection?

My plants and I are very grateful to still have power and heat during this crazy winter storm!

I'm a grower of #indoorplants but it's difficult here as I live in an old, dark house. Which is frequently below 15c as I live in #Melbourne

This year I lost a lot of #Hoyas due to the cold.

I made a circular wire thing for my hoya matilde 😍
