For years my Hoya cards from A Hoya Study Corner by SC Plants has been sitting in my potting bench collecting dust. I never could find a great way to display them since they are two sided. Recently, I decided I needed to find a way to display these even if I could not see both sides. Originally, I thought about getting a collage frame since the cards are 4x6in but that was very expensive. I settled on these 24in x 36in poster frames. I bought a total of 3 frames. I was able to fit 36 cards per frame. They are held in place by museum putty. Every corner of the cards has a small piece of putty to keep it in place. Now I can finally enjoy them.

Within the last couple months, a new Hoya themed podcast has been on air. If you are familiar with the shop The Green Plant AZ run by Lydia she is one of the three hosts of the show along with Jessi and Adam. I've personally been enjoying their content and it has inspired me to try some new things in my Hoya care routine.

One resource that I absolutely love for more in depth information on specific Hoya species is A Hoya Study Corner by SC Plants. They regularly post content on their Facebook page as well as periodically sell Hoya cards that are chalked full of information. If you can snag a set of cards I would definitely recommend it.

I thought I would share some books/literature I have come across. Some I have found via online library archives, some have been sent to me, and some come from Dale Kloppenburg's website. I figured it would be nice to have it all in one place if anyone is interested in this particular content. Click here to access via Google Drive. |
