Since embarking on growing Hoyas from seed a few months ago I wanted to share some thoughts I had on my experience. One thing I would definitely have changed from my initial seed set up, would be using a container that can hold the plant from seed to seedling. For future seedling endeavors, I plan on using a seedling starter with humidity dome. When I first started my seedlings I was really worried about using too much light and potentially burning my seeds/seedlings. The problem that came from me using too little light initially was a bunch of my seedlings were getting etiolated. I've learned that there is a fine line between too much and too little light. My seedlings now reside 6-8 inches away from my LED Barrina T8's. February 2022 Update The beginning of January I started fertilizing the seedlings. I heard from other seed growers if you start too early it will burn the seedlings. January was about 3 months into growing the seeds and I have not had any issues. For fertilizer I use Osmocote (NPK 14-14-14).
