Hi Doug. I’m from New Jersey and recently started collecting Hoyas. I wanted to say I appreciate all the information you have gathered on your website and u tube. You are so dedicated! I often refer to your website before purchasing a Hoya. Thank you

When the evening is hard, you're tired and don't have any strength you pick up laptop, watch Doug from myhoyas and now you could simply relax ~~ only a hot cup and that's all that you need: D

Doug's Hoya Categories: "hoy that suprised the heck out of me" and "hoya that I never expected would survive in a regular house." LOL. I watch the videos for comments like these as much as I do the hoya info.

It seems my sentiments are already expressed in the comments, but that never stopped me before... I am so grateful for this presentation. It does make me question the choices I've made, though, apart from the classic I've grown successfully for years, as some of the newer denizens may not be appropriate for this sanctuary. One thing I did not know but discovered experientially is that ya don't plant the little guy in a huge pot, no matter how much you love the two together. It is a Carnosa, and this spring it has decided that it indeed likes it here, and I could not be more delighted. What a beauty! The pubicalyxes are all going crazy, at last, and how beautiful are they??? A studio apartment facing west does not seem adequate, but the 10 Hoyas and 30 other plants seem to have an agenda... of course I have to move out, isn't it.🤗

Thank you Doug. That was very informative. You have a beautiful collection.

thanks Doug for all the great videos, especially the hoya soil mix! mine are happy now.

Great info doug! Thanks for taking the time to make the video.

Your plants are amazing! Just found your videos. So I guess I will be binge watching you tomorrow

I live in Ontario and have several Hoya curtisii growing indoors on a south-facing windowsill and both put on growth year-round. The plant that is mounted (well, it mounted itself!) to a piece of driftwood in a glass terrarium has by far done the best. The driftwood sits in water, while the plant pot does not. I think that the water absorbed by the driftwood helps the plant root in to the wood. The water also provides humidity, which this species loves. Oddly, it hasn't flowered for me yet. I suspect many other species would do well under these conditions. I wanted to share this to inspire others to mount their Hoyas.

Thanks Doug for showing us which Hoya plants perform well during winter, I have the easy to get Hoya plants, ie bella, Carnosa tri-colour and Pubicalyx, Thanks again.

You were missed very much, it’s interesting I was just thinking about you posting way before the Hoya craze and was hoping that you would give us more updates. Thanks for sharing!

Doug!! You are the hoya whisper! All the work that goes into taking care of these beauties!

a botanical greeting to you mister chamberlain! As always, I watch every one of her films and, as always, am inspired by her passion and her beautiful plants! I have not seen it in this way yet. Thanks a lot for this. I will continue to be a loyal visitor to your exotic world. best regards Helge from Germany

I think your are a very patient, caring man when it comes to your plants; they are beautiful 😊😊😊

thanks so much for making the video. You have wonderful plants and clearly they are happy to live with you. I've never seen hoya seed pods so now i know what to look for in the future. I'm in San Diego and my plants would not survive in the harsh sunlight of the windows. It's been humid enough for them to tolerate this winter but I've got a humidifier and some water spikes that use capillary action standing by.

Wow, you have an extensive collection of Hoyas!!! This is great and informative. Thank you!

Doug, this was a great video! Loved seeing so many varieties all at once!

Beautiful Hoyas thank you for sharing

Thank you so much for making this video,. It helps a lot with what Hoya can grow just staying in windowsill

So happy with my cuttings order doug! Annndddd I lost it when I saw the penacles on my Hoya Bella lol can't wait to see them all root ! Thanks again!

Hi I wanted to thank her for helping me with her beautiful videos!

No curtain needed in ur house..I saw ur window shelf...those r awesome idea on any level hanging plants. Thank for sharing Doug!

"It will survive as a plastic plant". LOL

Great collection Doug , thanks for all the information you share.

First winter with hoyas and I am shocked in cold PA zone 6b with wood burner going all the time. They are in a tiny mud room on a shelf next to the door we use all the time. Wood burner is in the basement, We ran a humidifier in a different room and it stayed at 45. I feed all my plants all winter at 1/4 dilution and my hoyas grew and grew! I have Obtusifolia, Crimson Queen and Crimson Princess, and I can’t think of the other one, with silvery long leaves. Anyway, cold from the door and feeding didn’t hurt them, I was lucky. Every leaf is shiny and plump with no bad spots! You sure have a ton of them!

Thank you for sharing this!! As always, your videos are so helpful. Awesome 🌱

Your Hoya collection is beautiful 🤩🤩🤩🌱

Wow what a nice guy .likes two of the things I love cats and hoya plants. 👍😼 Great information. Thanks.

😍😍Muy lindas gracias por compartir sus hoyas están muy hermosa

Fantastic tour!!! Important to mention that your windows have single glass, that makes a huge temperature difference close to the windows compared with double glass!

Hi Doug: I just watched your video (#1) Liked. You have so many hoyas, and I always knew that, that I have never heard of. However, the hoya Krohniana, lives with me. She grew a little bit over the winter and gave me hope for the Spring and Summer coming up this year. She did produce flowers last year and my balcony had the most beautiful frangrance/ Did I see a hoya linearis in your video? If so, how did it behave? When I first started watching your videos (about 7 years ago) I only had about three varieties. Now, I have 17. My hoyas grew just a tiny bit, but they are rustling. I always look forward to your videos. Thank you.

Hi Doug...Have you thought about writing a book? Maybe you have done so already. You are really, really a strong authority in the matter of hoyas. You are THE Hoya whisperer...

I grow phals and now hoyas in the very dry Utah..you must simmer water on the stove and increase your humidity not just for your plants, but for your own health. I have a terrific bay window that filters the sun, stuff grows great..

I certainly can relate with my Hoyas here in Michigan! While I'm loving my new grow tent, I sure do miss my Hoyas hanging in the windows and my skylights! Time to unload that tent! Great video Doug!

Amazing 😍😍😍 Wow what a collection! Such good info for Hoya lovers. 👍🏻

Love your collection of Hoyas ❤️ I’m starting to collect them too. I have 13 different ones right now.

Beautiful collection of hoyas...amazing..

Wow, what a collection you have

Beautiful Hoya collection 😍

Beautiful collection!

Thank's for all tips and lovely hoya example 🪴 just georgius

Beautiful collection! Thanks for the information!

Gorgeous collection. 🤩😍💕

What a beautiful collection ..I’m at 6 and counting. Im hopeful to see one flower this Year !

Hi Doug. I know this video is a few years old but I saw it only now. Your Hoyas are beautiful.Thanks for all the info .. it’s great to know what Hoyas to buy if u can only grow them in regular house conditions. Would you consider writing the name of the Hoyas as you talk about it. I didn’t recognize many of the Hoya names and it would be easier to find them again in the video if there were names written below.

The ones in the bathroom and kitchen did great - that’s where more humidity is. Why don’t you use a humidifier in the rest of the house? Or at least leave a big bowl of water in the rooms?

There are very few plants that grow in the winter months anywhere, they are called FLOWERING SPURS that must not be removed it always flowers on that SPUR .

U have an amazing collection of Hoya 😍😍😍

Love this video! So useful for us New Englanders lol

Great video thanks for the information All you need to do is next is a ccctv cats caught on camera tv 😂

Wow you have so many Hoyas

I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful plants but I'm a bit confused - when you say that some Hoyas will flower inside but not grow, do you mean they won't grow in normal house conditions ever, or just won't grow over winter? Where I live, winters are mild and no one really moves plants in and out - they're either houseplants or outdoor plants. The shorter winter days cause a number of my houseplants to cease growth, but they grow well the rest of the year.

The leaves on Hoya Violinoites (so) gorgeous leaves!

Just coming across this video and hope I can get a response from you. First off you have the best Hoya collection that I have seen on KZfaq. I live in Rochester NY, just started collecting Hoya so this will be my first winter. I have kept these on my enclosed porch with a fan and humidifier running. My questions are...are your windows insulated? What do you keep your heat on? Do you use a humidifier? Thanks

Love your channel!! I just started collecting hoyas, so this will be my first winter with them. What humidity level do most hoyas need to thrive? I have a humidifier, and without the heat on the humidity is in the 60-75 range. I’m considering adding another humidifier for when the heat is on, but I’m not sure what relative humidity range I should be shooting for. Thanks!!! 💚

Thanks for sharing Awsome..God bless you Han from SINGAPORE

I laughed when you said plastic plant ha ha. i feel it's true about most of my hoyas.

Oh my goodness! I’m in Hoya heaven! 😍

Hi Doug! I like to go back & review dome of your videos! Ty for doing them. On this peruse of this vd I noticed the drip trays you have plants on! Where can I get some!! Ty!😍💜🌱

Hi Doug, I love your channel. One request, please provide list of hoyas in the description of your videos. Please. Thanks!

What a great hoya survey! My first blooms this past spring/summer and now I see what winter here in NY will be like. Where can I get those wonderful BROWN humidity trays you've got? And can you give your website link? THANKS!

What is the name of the hoya in the hanging basket after the curtisii? I didn't get the name, something with Vietnam in it? I like that one

Beautiful!!!

Beautiful cats and hoya. MasyaAllah.

I love all hoyas and own 2 large hoyas and 4 small ones, but there is precious little room left for more of them in my home. However, I really love your Hoya Papaschonii and would love to have one. It’s very striking. How would I go about finding a plant or a cutting? As far as I know, there isn’t a group of Hoya lovers in my area (I live in a rural area-not a lot of folks around), though perhaps I will check the internet for one. The last Hoya I purchased was from Lowe’s in Ithaca and it wasn’t labeled, so I don’t know what type of Hoya it is.

Thanks for another great video, Doug! You skipped what looks like Hoya linearis in the living room. What's your experience been with that species?

Hey Doug very nice Hoyas. I wonder how you can stand the scent. Some of my Hoyas are so overpowering in scent. At the Moment hoya cv minibell is flowering and one of my parasitica species but they smell heavenly

Love the video. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge about Hoya. You have an impressive collection. Do you sell cuttings of the Hoyas?

I have really problem to rating grow hoyas in winter-time - that' my first winter with hoyas. Like I say, i living close to sea (in-walk meybe 10 min from sea), so the air is allayas humid. Also we like ventilate our flat, and the winter-time is usually very... warm, snow maybe one, twoo time at year, that's why we don't heat much our flat. But it's very small space. In this coundition - is chance to grow in winter? Now i have a hoya Montana, kenejiana red covona (i finally found it!) and the kanyakumariana. Also i have a Obovata, but in biggest flat, also near sea. In this flat in never too warm, maybe 22 celcius all time. How do you think? Also, could I please to you to write a list name hoya that you recomennded to house? Especially the last one hoya. Subtitles at movie has wrong name hoya's :D

Gotta love cats 💕💕💕

I kept thinking “I need to turn on my humidifier” while watching this😅 My house seems to stay at a consistent 60%-70% without any assistance, which I thought was surprising in Pennsylvania. I’ve read that mold starts to grow at 55%, but have yet to see any. What’s the humidity like in your house? Great video as usual!

Hi Doug, wow your hoyas are unbelievable! question - what direction does the front of your house face? I noticed you have your plants in many different directions. I'm assuming south facing would be the best option for most hoyas? (northern hemisphere) I'm new to hoyas & I always hear "bright indirect light" is best. I have many large southern facing windows with a 2 foot eaves so during the summer when the sun is high, it doesn't actually shine through. Come winter though when the sun is lower it fills the entire living room! Do you think that's a good spot for them or would an east or west window be better?

Very informative! So, would you say that most Hoyas will survive pretty well over winter indoors? I’m in NW Ohio, I’m just happy if they survive until they get back outside without losing leaves or dying. Growing or blooming would just be a bonus!

This was very cool. Thanks for sharing. Where did you get those tables and mats in the kitchen? I need some good hard plastic tables for outdoors and rain.

Hi my name is Paola and I follow your videos ..... open heart !!! I am Italian from Veneto Padua, I use a translator we hope you understand me! I have been passionate about plants since I was a child and I am trying to do like you with hoya, unfortunately they are not easily found and I tried to buy them online but it is a disaster, people are not honest! I'd like to amplify my collection, if you can help me, thank you! if you could you would make me very happy! thank you and sorry for the trouble! your advice has been very helpful to me, congratulations again! goodbye !

All of my Hoya have been growing like crazy in my home this fall. Most I’ve acquired recently and I was told it won’t grow for me this year. I wonder if it’s because in Portland OR we get decent humidity. My house according to my sensor sits around 55-75% this time of the year.

I noticed you have some kind of grid tray underneath your Hoyas. What is that made out of... Is it something you've put together or is it something you bought like that

So beautiful, i love it

Oh sorry🙏One more question: Are your winters overcast mainly or sunny winters?

This is amazing! So helpful! Thanks Doug! Have you ever tried to grow Rosarioae, pubicalyx Pink dragon, Vitiensis, Mindorensis, or aff. Forbesii EPC-700, UT-012 in the house? I love the cuttings I bought from you! Top quality! Thank you!

Beautiful .😘👍

OMG muero pero de la envidia😭 por tanta belleza junta🌿❤🌿 si algo me pasa Tú eres el culpable 😂 hay como quisiera tener aún que sea una Yo asi😭😭 Dios te siga bendiciendo tus manos para seguir disfrutando tus bellos videos un abrazo 🌿🙏🏽🌿❤🌿🙏🏽🌿

I really like those window trays. The ones with the grid in them. I guess you keep water in the lower portion fofr added humidity. Where do you purchase them? I'd like to pick up a few. Thanks....

Should also mention in what direction the windows are :)

always great info. thank you!

Thank you for sharing. I thought I had quite a few but I only have a couple that you have... this would help us what to have this season! Anyway, any update on selling imperialis this year? I am on the list so.....

What a great video Doug! Do you by any chance sell cuttings of any of your beautiful Hoyas? I've been looking for a Hoya Engleriana Vietnam everywhere with no luck. 😪

Great information. Can you make a video on the pots,hoops and. clips you use and where you get them from. I need to buy some but don’t want to waste money on what doesn’t work well with hoyas. Thank you

Hi Doug! Ive been following Vermont Hoyas for probably about a decade. Your photos are the reason I got more into hoyas. Quick question, what kind of humidity tray are you using there on your window sills? Im thinking i need to invest in some of those.

Ho Doug, your Hoya collection is phenomenal! Do you sell cuttings? If so, I would love to buy some from you. TIA

I want a hoya krohniana like yours wow!!!

Hey Doug, thanks for this video, very informative. Just for a matter of reference, what is the average relative humidity in your house during the dry winter season? Thank you for the video!

please, please can i have please the name of the Hoya at 6:56 ca, the strong growing one at the edge, before you go in the Cats-Room? Cant really understand... sounds like -kentiana at the end or something else... Be pleased, hugs and luck for you! Thanks, thanks, thanks, C. Please marker ne here.

Daun hoya kering dan tinggal batangnya. Biaakah sehat kembali?

Also..have you switched to RO water for all of these? Try Quantum Orchid or any humid/fulvic acid supplements. Quantum orchid works wonders...

Hi Doug! Very nice video on Hoyas in the house. I don't think I have any of them, but really want to find a Hoya Bella. Do you ever use humidifiers? Just curious as I didn't see any. Do you ever sell any clippings, or plants? In the comments, it sounded like you might. Nice cats! Thank you for sharing!

Hi this video was recommended for me to watch and so I did. You have such a beautiful collection of hoyas. I’ve been wanting and looking for Hoya Deykeae and wondering if you could sell me cuttings of it to add to my small hoya collection?! I just started growing plants indoors and I found that I’m really into hoya and wants to collect more specimen. Hope everyone is doing alright during this time, stay safe. Thanks!

Hello Doug, I came across your site from a google search and there is a specific Hoya I am looking for. I’d like to reach out to you to see if I could buy some prunings. I live in MA. I couldn’t find any contact info on the site and apparently I can’t find out how to directly contact you via KZfaq so I’m left at this comment section. Looking forward to your help

Hey Doug! A question about H. curtisii: in an earlier video you mentioned how you went through all the trouble of giving it as much sunlight as possible in order to get it to flower. Here you mention you got it to flower in the winter time inside the house, which seems pretty incredible having seen your earlier video. Did something change? Any new insights?

Hi. I love yor videos. It's posible to grow difficult hoyas in a regular hous is you use an humidifiyer?
