▲ 3 r/hoyas

I have about 20 Hoyas I think and about a handful of them had root rot in the last 8 weeks. And just today, I checked on my 3 week old rooted cuttings in my prop boxes, and I’d say about 1/4 has root rot.

Not sure what is happening. I don’t give special fertilizer nor special mix for my plants. All my plants (hoya, anthurium, alocasia, philodendron, string of plants) get the same soil mix and fertilizer but only my Hoyas are getting root rot.

Since I didn’t bother repotting and treating them, I just kept watering them as usual. I use clear pots so it’s easy to tell.

-

What surprised me is that those Hoyas with root rot just kept growing new healthy roots, some of those new healthy roots are even touching the dead roots!

-

The growth of new leaves are slowed down, but not stopped. So what’s going on? Why hasn’t root rot decimated my Hoyas yet? I know I would need to repot and disinfect the roots one day but I am surprised after 8 week, those Hoyas are growing normally albeit slower.

- The wooden lid need to be sanded down a bit right? What do we use after we sand it? Wood oil conditioner (we have one for our chopping board).

- We’re not sure what the black stain is. Looks like paint or oil stain? We rubbed it with our fingers and didn’t transfer anything onto our fingers.

- The canvas is really dirty. The picture is after we hosed it down.

- We used dish soap + baking soda + a hard tooth brush on one side to see if it works. We scrubbed it for a few minutes. Let it soak for 10 minutes. As you can see, the left side is slightly brighter. But not enough for the black stain.

- What should we soak the canvas material in? Oxiclean? How do we even soak this box? It’s pretty large, larger than a kitchen sink.

▲ 2 r/ADHD

Been on Adderall 15mg for more than 3 months and my sleep has been reduced from 8 hours to 7 hours roughly.

BUT!

I don’t feel sleep deprived or need a nap at all? I thought maybe I need to pay my sleep debt one day so I decided to stop taking medication just to see if I can sleep longer.

I didn’t!

I slept for the same amount (7 hours) on the day I didn’t take medication.

Will there be any detriment to my health if my sleep duration is reduced for the long term?

These are from my magnificum x papi variegated.

Can the color of the seeds indicate that the variegation genes from my variegated papillilaminum have been passed down?

1st picture shows my Red Spider (2nd picture) self pollinated seedlings!

The characteristics between each seedling vary so much. I thought I would be able to create more red spider with self pollination, but, alas, what I have is more akin to “more forgetii seedlings” 😂😓
