Very cool story and it makes the plant extra special! 🥰

hi miss sarah if you want a hoya plant I have some very beautiful hoya plants

Everytime I read story of plants being in people's home for 20 plus years I just feel so behind.

Wow! Both for the hoya and your parents' lifespan.

I LOVE to hear that!!!! Keeping something alive, passing it on and knowing that process will repeat. There's just something about having a plant that came from a very old plant that's still around.

Can you tell me about the tray?

@@rdred8693 It's usually pebbles in a tray covered in water. All of my high humidity plants that aren't in a cabinet are sitting on top of humidity trays. Most important thing is that the plant should have a little pot tray under it between the plant and the rocks & water. Otherwise your plant will bottom water itself to death LOL. I live in desert climate and I've been able to keep all my Calatheas and other high humidity plants looking great with this method. I get trays and pebbles from a dollar store so it doesn't cost much at all. Good luck!

@@darulanwar2916 You sound like a man in a white van offering candy to a kid, lol. No offense it just sounds funny

Oh... I got mine 3 years ago. I put it in a new pot last year. The new dirt seemed to make it take off and grow. I fixed a cross stick for it to wind up on. I took two cuttings. They both have really grown this summer. I keep them outside in summer under a patio cover. They love it there. The green is so lovely

Needs more sun, direct in window

@@zuck9090 It is about 18" from a west facing window. It's been there for 10 months now. It gets bright indirect light. I've started spraying it with orchid fertilizer once a week, as other videos have recommended. We'll see!

hi if you want a hoya plant I have some very beautiful hoya plants

I recently bought 2 pots off of offer up (last spring). She left the soil in them and had put what she called a wax plant cutting in it. There were two leaves just above the soil. It was a large pot, about 6in long and 3in wide. No holes in the bottom. I had contacted her several days before I would be in her area. I think she may have set it aside in the mean time. I brought it home and watered if lightly and set it to acclimate. One of the leaves turned yellow. I was pretty upset because the pots without drainage I was disappointed in but excited to have the hoya cutting. Within two weeks I decided to pot it into a more appropriate smaller pot and while doing that I would see how the root system was doing or if I was going to lose it. The good news was it had a nice healthy root system starting. So I potted it into better soil and a smaller pot (probably should have gone smaller. I kept watching and waiting for it to sprout the new growth. Nothing for a long time but at least it had not lost its other leaf. Just last week I found a half inch sprout has started. It dawned on me it had been continuing to make roots. I had been watering it with root and bloom fertilizer. It is low on nitrogen so it could be watered with it each watering. Be patient. You want a good set of roots for a healthy plant.

@@dw3403 thank you so much! I repotted it into a slightly smaller pot, and it gave me a few new leaves! It's one of those hoyas with the thick, forest green, waxy leaves. So I guess it's a slow grower? I don't care though, I love her! (And my krohniana & diversifolia are going absolutely bonkers - my div loves shooting out several inches of vine a week!) 💚💚💚

@@DeniseDutton It gave you leaves? Since I first replied to you another vine shot out of the soil and is growing faster than the first one that stopped. I have yet to see any leaves.

@@dw3403 it totally did! But honestly? The vine was meh - mine popped up at the bottom of the plant, as well as at the bases of other leaves. (I thought two of them were nodes or vine buds, but nope. Two leaves! They like pairs. 🤣)

@@dw3403 now, to get growth on my variegated hoya carnosa compacta... But I've only had her for two months, and with the carnosa I've been talking about over a year to decide if it wanted to leaf, I guess I'll wait! 🤷🏾‍♀️💚

No, leave it alone now.

You take cuttings and send them to us.

O,o. Take some cuttings just in case your going to lose it. You either let the soil dry out too long at one point and the water isnt staying in the soil. Or it has become so root bound there are more roots than soil. Lightly tip it out of its pot and look at those roots.

I have read no. They say not to even move them when blooming. Sometimes if a plant gets too dried out the soil wont hold water and will run off. Put the plant in a sink with the stopper in place and let the plant soak in water for a few minutes. Then let it drain.

It might have been sick already when you got it, or reporting it along with the change in environment stressed it out. I'd advise not to report right after getting a plant unless they have issues like root rot or something else.

Was it a plant that was already rooted? If so, do not mess with them by potting them into new pots for a few weeks. Let it get used to its new environment because they have already gone through a lot of stress.
