Hoya plants release very soon – list of types attached
Adeniumrose Company is in the process of inputting the Hoya plants information on the website. We plan to release about 20 – 22 varieties in 1..2 weeks. These hoyas, also known as wax plants, were received about 4 months ago as barely rooted cuttings. Now they are much larger and growing great roots.
Images will be taken of the hoya plants so people have an image of the size right before we release them. Here is a list of the plants AdeniumRose Company plans to release:
hoya lacunosa
hoya incrassata variegata
hoya carnosa tricolor
hoya cumingiana
hoya lacunosa x obscura
hoya macrophylla
hoya australis ssp australis
hoya elliptica
hoya pubicalyx splash

hoya imperialis red
hoya pentaphlebia
hoya sp. phu wua
hoya sp sarawak
hoya glabra schlechter 1908
Please note we have a limited number of each type of hoya plants. All of them are growing in 5 in hanging pots but will be shipped bare root with a moisten towel around the roots. Rooted hoyas do ship well and we plant to use USPS priority mail (1..3 day transit).
All the hoyas AdeniumRose Company grows are in 65% to 70% sunlight for about 5..6 hours a day. Presently, they are getting very high humidity (90% plus) and 90+ degree weather and they are doing great. Many years ago I lived in Atlanta and grow them year round inside next to a window that received sun about 6..8 hours a day during the summer and 5..6 hours during winter. The glass was lightly tinted a bit so I’m guessing 75% sun rating.
If would not put them in direct sunlight for more than 3 hours if possible (morning sun light). They do better with shaded or indirect light but longer hours. Not all Hoyas ave the same growth requirements but they are all very similar. Some hoya plants require a bit more light and others less so you many want to move them around a bit and record the movement so you can track which ones like more or less sun exposure.
Fat plants as know as caudiciform plants growing from seed
This past two weeks Adeniumrose Company has stated to grow fat plants beyond adenium desert rose plants. Fat plants, also known as caudiciforms, consist of plants of many types that form a fat stem, fat exposed roots or fat thick trunk. There are many different many different caudiciform plants that range in height from a few inches to over 30 feet tall (Baobab tree a pachycaul). Plants with fat stems or trunks are called Pachycauls.
Growing fat plants by seed is a bit more difficult than growing adeniums which is a fat plant since each fat plant type requires different growing considerations. One thing they all have in common is the need to have well drained soil since just about all of the fat plants are succulents or cactus. Since AdeniumRose Company is located is sunny just about always warm we are able to start growing the seeds now without the worry from March through September.
The ones
Epicgrower Company started this month consist of 10 different fat plants and about 100 seeds of each. If all goes well by this time next year many will be offered on our site. We are using the same soil mixture we use to grow adeniums by see except for a couple which will be in a mix with 50% perlite instead of 65%. The soil also contains core 20% to 30% , and about 10% soil.
The first batch of two different types of fat plants were planted two weeks ago and they are both germinating at a rate of about 50%. Adeniumrose company is using a few different seed sources for the fat plants to see who has a better germination rate. We will keep you posted with images in the near future as the caudiciforms plants pop out of the soil (germinate).
