I lost my grandmother in January..she was basically the mother that my mom failed to be. Her favorite plant was the Hoya compacta and the month thr passed I went to see my favorite nursery and found one I didn't have to order.... I treat that plant like a queen...she makes me feel my grandmother is with me

I find my Carnosa Compacta to be my easiest Hoya, hands down, so hearing so many people having trouble with theirs always surprises me. If you have trouble with yours and you keep it inside like I do, maybe telling you specifically how I keep mine could be helpful: I have my big tentacle girl in a Southwest window in Germany, in about 40-60% humidity and around 20°C. I water it thoroughly only whenever the majority of the leaves get soft and when they wrinkle up when you bend the leaves a bit with your fingers. I fertilize all year around with Liquid Gold Leaf, and in winter I have it standing under an LED lamp with 4000 kelvin and around 2000 lumen. My substrate is little puffed vulcanic rocks, like Lechuza Pon :) Mine hasn't had any pests yet, but I do use beneficial insects as pest prevention, so that probably helps.

"I see a red ant *HELLL-OOO-HEH* " You're so cute I say it again. Love your personality. Just makes the education so much more fun going down!! 💚💚💚

I have had mine for about five years now and this is the first time it is blooming for me. There are five blooms on it. And yes, each individual flower looks like a little plushy little stuffed animal, all fuzzy and pink and cute.

My compacta is very mad at me right now, but i still love him and i shall keep trying!!

Your continuous upload of videos makes the holidays less lonely when far from family. Thank you, truly! I can't believe a fern(?) can coexist in the same pot as a hoya compacta!!! Although it makes for a beautiful looking arrangement. 💚

I just learned, that hoyas need cold ( or colder ) nights to be able to bloom. One person who had over 800 Hoyas at one point said.. that most of the hoyas are used to cold and drier nights and hot daytimes with a lot of humidity. Maybe you changed something, so it can bloom now :)

Such a slow growerrrr but this video was so useful for my hindu rope and variegated hindu rope!

Just got my first hoya carnosa compacta. 💚💚💚 Such a beautiful plant. 😍Thanks for the video. 🙂 It is very informative for a first timer like me. 😉

This is the first Hoya I bought. I have never really liked hoyas, but my boyfriend hated that none of my plants had flowers and when I showed them to him, he was so excited to finally have a plant that flowered... so I guess now I'm building myself a little hoya collection 😅

Hi. I just today got 3 rooted cuttings in the mail. I potted them up into my go to barky airy mixture. It is an orchid mix. Has pumice, bark, charcoal, and a bit of potting mix. This is my 3rd attempt with this Hoya. I have many other varieties that do beautifully. I am almost certain after seeing your video that I under watered in the past. I only watered about once a month in the house.

Love your energy, you’ve gained a new subscriber here. ❤

Hmmm....🙄 I'm overwatering my compacta. "Treat it like a succulent" Thank you for your advice. Your flowering compacta tho .... I can only hope and dream about mine ever achieving that size and if it flowers well then that would be a huge bonus. 💜💜💜

What an adorable little blue back🕷️

That spider is such a beauty too!

very beatiful hoya flowers.

You are my favorite plant KZfaqr, love you infectious love for plants! Very easy to understand and informative! 💙 from Australia 🇦🇺

I propagated one in spaghnum moss and I had ver good results. On less than a month I got rooted.

Flinched at the spider but I'm glad you're letting him live his best life 😊

The bloooooooms! I can’t wait till my big boy blooms he’s thriving at the moment although he has mealy bugs that are obsessed with him🤕 my regalis cutting is is struggling I can’t wait until I find a one definitely in my top 3 wish list plant list. Thank for the vid!

Thanks so much for the information in this video! Very helpful and I loved seeing your beautiful hoyas!

In my experience, leave them alone!! Treating them like succulents is very helpful. They are more forgiving than succulents! Treat them like orchids, they, like orchids, are epiphytes. They are slow to get rooted and a lot of people think they are slow growing plants but it’s not really true, they need smaller pots to take off and a bit of time to recover from transplant shock. South facing window, chunky soil only, they need to breath. I pot mine in bonsai jack succulent soil, bark chips, perlite, coco peat and a bit of worm castings and they love it! They will also grow in just bark they are not picky as long as the mixture is airy and chunky they will root

I am so happy to find this video about this hoya, my green form that I had for about 9 months has some buds popping out, and I'm so excited to see the blooms. I wasn't expecting it as I heard it could take up to 3 years for flowers.

You are great! Thanks for the great tips on propagating ! I am collecting hoyas, and I LOVE the carnosa compacta. Thanks again.

Outstanding video and information. Thank you Sir!

Thank you for your everyday planty videos! 🪴

I just bought one....thank you for such a great video

I love my Hoya compacts I’ve had it for a few months under a grow light, I only water it when it’s leaves are slightly wrinkly or less turgid since it’s in plastic, Would recommend this hoya for sure 👍🏻

I love your energy

Nice Hindu Rope plants and nice Encephalartos cycads in the back ground!

My Hoya is the first Hoya I ever own it been easy for me to take care of.What can I say I have the green thumb.😂😂😂 I see the fox tail behind you is beautiful I have two of them. Happy Growing and stay safe.

Great video 😃👍🏽 hello from Southern California 👋🏽

Love the Hoya compactas💚.

Wow the Hindu rope hoya in the episode is big. I've got mine from Los Angles for about $13, a small one. I have kept it indoor, and it doesn't grow well. So, I moved it outdoor into patio, and see new shoot coming out. The growth rate is very slow, hope mine can grow to the same size.

Very informative

Thank you for the video. I have had a healthy, indoor rope Hoya for 6 years but recently noticed that some of the leaves were yellowing and wrinkling some. With it be the end of winter, I had a feeling it was root rotted. I've had good luck propagating my other Hoya species in water so I'm going to try with the rope hoya ...

hoya carnosa compacta was my first hoya 😅😅😅 the mealy bugs, oh the mealy bugs...it was completely INFESTED with them 😩 forced me to learn so much about pest management. I think after many months they are finally defeated but I still keep it isolated from my other plants

You gave alot of good information

Woww.. i went to Moonhoya yesterday and saw this compacta varigata.. i cant buy it cause its sooo expensive. Now I cant get it out from my brain. I want it soooo much

thanks for sharing care compacta godbless

I've had a lot of good luck treating it like an orchid... with more sun. I keep it in orchid mix, water it once a week and let it dry out between waterings. It's doubled in length. No blooms yet, but it was in a 4inch pot, so still a baby.

Beautiful plant!

WOWW NICE HOYA SHAWN

Awesome thank you 🙏

Nice video but wow that flower at end was gorgous

i bought one last month and i did something bad. i had to change a house for 2 weeks so in the new house i placed it in low light and i was watering it often.. ofc i got yellow and droping leafs. I came back to my old house last week and i placed it in a very bright spot. i hope it gets better. the biggest part of the plant looks good. i have many green leafs so i hope it wont die eventually. wish me good luck :P P.S i really want to buy the variegated version but i cant find it in my country.. :(

Love it 😍

How beautiful is that?

😍🥰❤️👌🏽Beautiful!

This is a very good informative video.

How the heck do you have a fern planted with it, don’t they have totally different care requirements? Love your humour, very entertaining! ❤

Thanks for the detailed info, I am in uk. Never heard about hoya but got it as a gift around 4 months ago. It's nearly 3 feet tall. I haven't seen new growth in leaves or anf flowers. Its looks very health though. Do I need to fertilise it and which one. It has been canned up wards, dose it have to hang down. Plz advise.

Love the video! I'm so very sad my hindu rope reverted😰

Thank you.

Notif squad lets go

I hope this comment is answered. My compacta variegated I bought rotted from the moment I got it. I cut it back, but no sap came from the stem where the roots were or the stem that had the leaves. I hope that doesn't mean the entire plant is dead? I don't have much more room to cut it back and it still have a leaf and stem to root. In your experience if you cut a hoya stem and no sap comes out is it a dead plant?

Hi! thanks for this very informative video. I just got a hoya compacta and was wondering if you could plant the cutting in the same pot as the mother plant (as with tradescantia and philodendrons) so it can have more of a "bushy" look. Thanks :)

Good video. What type of fertilizer do you use for your hoyas? How often do we fertilize? Thanks.

Hi brother, May I know put indoor need abit sunlight and water everyday? Or ones a week? Thank you..🙏❤️🙌

The blooms smell like dark chocolate 😮🍫

Do they start growing the new leaves from the tip of the leaf or the bottom by the roots? I can never tell where the new leaf is coming from

9 months and it gave you babies blooms. It's so interesting! I would love one esp how long it can trail. Btw what is that gorgeous privacy hedge behind you?? Thx 😂 poke butt part haha

Question: My compacta is getting too long. My concern is that if I cut the tip off a new shoot will begin where I cut the tip . I'm worried it will become weak or too heavy if that occurs. Have you found that situation to be the case with your plant?

🍃🍃🍃

I am so dang kind to my Hoya compacta. It is about the size of yours but has NEVER bloomed. Haha! How did I know you would cut yours to pieces. PS I advise you to not sit on moss poles. Carry on! 😂🤣😂💚✌️🍃🌱🌿🌵

I thought my hoya carnosa compacta is dying. It is wrinkled so i put it is an terrarium setting (close small greenhouse over a greenhouse to increase humidity) but it not getting better. Other hoyas that I rooted are now growing or showing signs of growth.

First comment!? 💛

which kind of fertlizer you used

At first you say you Cant overwater it , but the ya say its prone to be overwatered? Lol How do you get a compacta to trail? Is time the only way?

Will the flowers smell sweet

Could I cut a long piece off and propagate it , one side is very long and I would like to add it to the other side , Thank you !!!!!

Beautiful 😍. But why are you leaving that farn in there

My hoya is getting yellow leaves n few leaves seems to be burnt too... I'm from India.. it's pretty hot here..45°c... Can u please suggest any solution.

What do you feed house plants?

What soil should be used?

I have had a Hindu Rope for about 5 yrs. now.it is doing wonderful but am concerned about the fact that she has not flowered for me....Help...please❤️

Is hoya kerii and crimson care the same as compacta?

My carnosa is my favorite plant, but also the one I hate the most... because it's done nothing for over a year :D talk about slow! I have seen two or three new growth points on the vine, but nothing out of them yet. And let's not even talk about flowers...

Hey i hope you can answer my question.. The hoya that died while propagating, do you leave it or throw it out?

Does this plant vine up if given the chance or do they just hang?

I just got one and the new leaves are a very dark hot pink colour. Will these leaves eventually turn white? Thanks!

Hoya compacta and hoya carnosa is two difference species. That one you refers to is just Hoya compacta.

I put my Hindu Hoya rope under the sunlight. The leaves turned brownish color... I don’t know what to do...

I've had my Hindu Rope about 5 months now and no growth that I can see.

One of my wishlist plant, but im too scared buying this beauty😭😭

💚💚

Can we spray water on its leaves

Mine very very slow to grow.. what should I do?helppp 😭

my finik palma is sick.can you help me about care my palma.if i send you foto my palma.what can i help my palma.

Why do you plant a fern and Hindu Rope together?

Helo Sean, do you sell that baby compacta?

kak boleh update gimana hoya yg di tancep langsung di metan itu???

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9aYopdy1N3PZHk.html - Ketika kebahagiaan ini berakhir, cinta pun tak lagi bersemi kembali

Idk if mine is happy or not! Which is why I’m here 😂

Very nice 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️

👋

Wa, only $17!

It’s difficult?! Lol I keep proving to myself that I can keep killable plants alive and kill the unkillable at the drop of a hat… (spider plants and I are not friends, lol) my Hoyas have grown so well!!

Can I take a nicely rooted carnosa compact and plant it in the middle of an existing one that is fairly long but has nothing in the center?
