dear new topic of lotion diary,
sometimes i get bored with what i am tawking about and i'm like, FUCKING TURN THE CHANNEL WHORE- before i do. i used to think that as long as my plant had roots- it would never die. i don't think that's the case anymore. i've had my hoya plant now since may 27, 2000. when i got it- it was a cutting with NO roots- a five inch stem in the soil. it took nine long years for the little stem to become this beautiful plant. and today it is not in the best shape. i neglected it this winter. i hope that it pops out of the depression i put it in, 
but somehow my root theory doesn't seem plausible anymore, considering the shape of the bare stems and the yellowing leaves. the only reason i yet hang on to hope is because of the few new budding leaves i dare see growing, a sign that there may be life remaining in there somewhere, but i don't get my hopes up too high- not for the old plant anyway. (see the small red pot in the right side of the photo with the chopsticks sticking out of it? that is the new eight inch cutting i took a few years back that ought to start growing ANYDAY now.) that is why you should ALWAYS have two of what you love MOST so when one dies from NEGLECT or ABUSE you have another one JUST LIKE IT to NEGLECT and ABUSE.
