I have 6 species of Hoya. They are a pretty good companion plant for the orchids. My favorite is the H. serpens. But they're all fun. The H. sipitangensis is an aggressive grower too

I took a wander around the house and glasshouse and I can spot 30 different hoyas. There's more than 30 all up, but some looked the same to me -shrug- I'm not so good with the hoyas.

We just bought our first house last year, so I finally get to expand The only problem is heating the damned thing. Heating my house to match my orchids was easy. This glasshouse is proving to be a bit more tricky.

It seems I can't get the temps I want without frying something - (digital heating thermostat so far ) - Right now I'm running an oil fin heater and an electric element-fan-blower thingy and one of the old fuse covers inside is getting toasty hot. Bah.
