Thanks for a thorough explanation of what and how you propagate hoyas. It addressed many questions I had, including re-use, opening and closing, acclamation to soil. Also wanted to say, thanks for keeping this chill and now “hyped” with over enthusiasm etc.

I made a prop box using perlite after your first two videos recommending it. Although I normally use water for rooting, the prop box successfully got some of my hoya and tradescantia cuttings to root! It's a fun alternative rooting method to water, especially when I plan to pop the rooted cuttings in with the mother plant. Thanks for continuing to update your community on how your own prop box is doing. 👍

Question: have you ever put a small humidifier meter in the box to see what it’s actually sitting at out of curiosity? Great video too thanks. I have a 1020 container and vented lid with wet sticks in them and was told to keep it at 70%. The only time I get condensation is when it sits at 90% plus and I started getting a little rot on one cutting. Even while opening every day to let more air in (even though there’s vents). So now I leave the box partially open to sit at 70ish always. So I was just really curious to see what your sealed containers sit at without causing rot. Looks like it would be 100% plus?? Thanks 😊

@EverythingPlants Жыл бұрын
Mine gets a small little sliver of direct light throughout the day, but that just risks algae. Just place it a bright area and see how it does. Near a window is fine, but it doesn't have to be on a sill or anything like that. Even near a grow light will be perfect.

If u have a Hoya leaf with thrips damage can u safely keep it somehow? I had thrips on a plant, never saw any bugs just the damage and leaves coming out distorted. I'm so sad any advice cut all the leaves and keep the roots?
@EverythingPlants Жыл бұрын
There is damage on the hoya leaves too? Distorted leaves can be from lower humidity....I would isolate it and treat it with a spray (multiple treatments over a few weeks) or use a systemic pesticide if you have it.
