Thank you for sharing what you found out about these two mystery hoyas . I really love a good story . Everyone has a different eye for beauty and I am sure there are many collectors who have these big girls

Hi, Miro, I grow both of these outside in central FL in the US. I have found them both to be different and rewarding to grow, as you describe. I almost lost both of them when I left them outside (along with most of my extensive collection…too large to bring inside) over our ‘winter’, which consisted of temperatures persistently in the 40s at night. I was able to root some cuttings and now they are back outside with lots of heat and humidity and are both growing like weeds in coco chips and #3 perlite. I would say that is the key, along with consistent watering and not letting them dry out. My leaves on ‘Elephant’ do not grow malformed, and when properly trellised, grow to massive size-I am thinking warmth/humidity is the largest contributor to this. I hope this helps 🙂

Loved this video. I find it fascinating that there is so little info about the genealogies of these plants. Its like they are orphan seedlings and were adopted by a great family. Really interesting about the names too.

This is one of my most favorite of your videos Miro, it is a MASTERPIECE!! I think I have watched them all. Your confidence in your knowledge and style makes watching educational and a pleasure too! I don't have either of these hoyas yet. I now want them. I just transferred 9 hoyas from moss to coco peat and perlite, a first for me, I have watched you do it so many times. So I will monitor this situation for awhile before I go on the Priktai, elephant hunt. I had only been eying Elephant , not aware of Priktai. Clearly both are needed by me.❤️

While watching, I went on Etsy to check out Hoya Priktai and a seller is selling a Hoya Elephant Priktai for $175. Her Hoya looks only like the Priktai. All Hoya Elephant I've come across look like the one you displayed. Unless the seller's is a cross breed between the two its definitely a Priktai. I really see no similarity as far as the leaves go tho. Thanks for the education on the two. Facts are important. Dee, NY

Ok Elephant is now on the list though a quick google tells me she is going to be a little hard to find for me....thats probably a good thing numbers wise😂 and perhaps also due to ease of care or not it seems.

Oh my, now I think the plant I bought as Priktai is an Elephant. Of course I also had to get an Elephant later, since I didn't know I already had one. And I do have the 'Russian'😅 Priktai, which sure looks like your Priktai. And my Priktai 'white' -well I only bought that because I wanted the non-Russian variety. 😂 I'm ok with 2 of each, for now. My first Elephant (fka Priktai) is getting nice splash so maybe it needs a new name? 😂. I better save up in case a Silver Elephant ever shows up.😮

Enjoyed you comparing and pointing out the differences between these two hoyas. Maybe something to think about for future videos? Anyway, I have no experience with either of these hoyas. My biggest leaf hoya is a Rigida.

So it' not just me that struggles with both of these. Mine are still one leaf rooted cuttings for the most part. Priktai aborted a few leaves and then grew a warped, tiny one. Elephant finally shot out a vine, but no new leaves yet.

I can’t remember how you treat your Hoya for flatmites. I can’t rid mine of them. I have tried everything including sulfur and they continue to attack the new growth. Ready to try beneficials but have to get all sulfur off first. What do you do?

Sulfur should work. You may need repeat applications however, have you tried that?

@@karinkuhlemann5359 yes. I have done weekly sprays for 2 months and the buggers show up on the new growth. I have to say it did really help the Hoya that hadn’t been growing to start
