  • Just that some hoyas may need more water than you would think, really. I water this one every two days, it never gets dry. If it dries out at all the new leaves look weird and a couple of old ones will drop, as will the peduncles. It’s in an airy soil mix, but I am constantly surprised that it isn’t dying of root rot, lol.

    Have you tried using an orchid fertilizer to get yours to bloom? The miracle grow spray seems to get them going, I use that once a week (it’s very weak) and also use the shultz liquid fertilizer at about half strength every second watering or so, during the growing season.
















  • Haha, I once mentioned on reddit that I thought I would’ve liked it if I’d read it as a teenager and got downvoted to hell. The setting was interesting, and I appreciated the ideas, I just thought the actual writing was very clunky. No judgement on anyone who liked it is intended, I’ve certainly enjoyed some poorly written books just because the ideas explored were new to me.

    Thanks for the recs, I may give another book a try once the memory has faded more.
