      Thanks so much. A small achievement in the great big world, but I'm going to be excited about it anyway 😁 Kind of you to mention it!

    Would love to watch you set up your plant room. Do you keep most of your collection in there for the summer?. I have about 40 hoyas, orchids and cactus that I keep outside during the summer and they do very well. The others live throughout my house and in a grow room. Hope your getting rain today fellow Iowan. I think we've only received hardly anything. Great video. Always enjoy watching. Have a great evening

      I have a very similar set up, it sounds like. But the porch acts as my “out doors. “ I’m sure I’ll be very dorky in a set-up video 🤣 I’d like to add another orchid to my vast collection of one ….

    The copper was the issue. It allows a small amount of electricity to flow which the plant may not like.

    Oh do make your mess Dave! Dainty plant repot? I'd think not! Now I'm so jealous of that Merillii! Mine has grown nicely but the leaves are smallish. It's in a south facing window. Are there two forms, narrow leaf and round leaf? The Vitellina is gorgeous! It does resemble the Fusco Marginata which I have and resurrected. I hope my vitellina grows up to look like yours! ( you're better than Wild Fern by the way👍🏽) Thanks for sharing! Dee, NY

      I think, at least in some areas of one's life, it needs to be lived with complete abandon! Good question on the merrillii. There is indeed a long-leaf version. I, too, have a merrillii with smallish leaves, the one with quite large leaves from the video, and then a cup of props that are seed-grown that have HUGE leaves. My conclusion is: I have no idea what's going on 🤣😂🤣

    Not certain if it’s been mentioned but Hoyas love to go counter clockwise, or anticlockwise in England, a sthats how they naturally grow. They seem to grow slower if you try to make them go clockwise when wrapping them on a trellis etc

    Repotting is meant to be messy. How else are you supposed to repot them and be crazy about it? 😊🫢 You do however you repot them. And also, everyone start from bottom up anyways. Everyone is their own experience with plants. Including myself. Thank you for sharing! 😄😄
