ahahhaha :D and then he comes back with more hoyas for the wishlist. The most cruel of the comebacks

Me!!!🙋🏻‍♀️

@@BasiePlants I was beside myself with joy that you had posted a new video with new hoyas, and had Ferah's voice in the background as an added treat. A cool kind of cruel--so all is well. So happy you have returned! ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Meee!!!

I tried to convince her but she refused! Technically, she did not even allow me to include her voice in the video but I did it anyway 😅

Julie 🥰😘

@@BasiePlantsI love how trustworthy you are 😆

lol xx

do you ever feel overwhelmed with them all? what’s your watering schedule like? do you let them all keep growing; how do you find the space? do you have any other plants?

Medinillifolia is such a treasure

@@backseat-of-the-audience i keep most of them in tents. i didnt get the expensive tents. i just got the cheap clear plastic ones. but they are set up with lights and fans. i dont have a schedule for watering. i just feel them out. but normally when one needs it they all do. usually every 4 days-ish. most of them are in a diy well draining chunky mix. and in high humidity. most of them are still small. i have a few in just husk, one in Molly's succulent mix, and several in moss. i also have a bunch of alocasia. a few philos...squami, billetiae, atabapoense, pss, florida green and ghost. but 8 also just doen sized a b7nch and gave them all to a friend. monstera, philo, some jungle cacti and idk what else. i dont have much room for a bunch of big plants. and after I found my first hoya i fell in love with them. alocasia were the first ones i liked but its all about the hoyas now. i can keep them under control, most of them font grow too fast, and they make cool flowers sometimes. i find the reward i feel with the slow progress is more powerful than with instant results. ill get a new leaf or new small vine after months of nothing and get really exited. but...with hoyas and alocasia...the f*kn mealies...constant. no matter what...thats harder than keeping track of their water. i know a lot of folks say to water them once per week or even less but ive had far better results with keeping them moist and in a moist environment.

@@BasiePlants i have mine rooting in moss...per the collectors instructions...would you recommend i put it in pumice? i keep it in a tent with roughly 80 to 90% humidity. edit: i mean after its rooted...

They also deserve some love :D

Hmmm perhaps :D I will think about i :)

12:27 Hoya mamasa, orange flowers!

@@BasiePlants Oh yes! Absolutely! We will have more time next time.

My flagellata produced a seedpod and I have sedlings growing. I have tried pollinating one time, it was not sucessful. I dont have space to grow out the seedlings, so I don't try to pollinate them...

My second one is finally growing and I do find that it does indeed want very little water. The roots it arrived with were goners, and it rooted in almost bone dry coco husk. Now I see a new vine starting and it had very little water since. I probably take it out every 2 weeks from the tent, water it, and put it back with no cover pot or anything and so far it is working. I know of three piestolepis clones; they are different in flower color. I think the foliage is nice, but I am frustrated that I have not bloomed any yet, certainly should have happened, but oh well, we wait... I only have two clones now, the one from this video didn't arrive so well and refused to recover. I have NS11-092 and NS16-002. I don't think it is worth growing all three; I think maybe blooming all three and then deciding the best bloomer/ grower, which is what I intend to do :)

It depends how long the shipping will be. It also depends on the temperatures. These arrived withing 2 days to me I believe - UPS express, so there is no need. But in most cases, in Europe, you will buy unrooted cuttings, so it doesn't make sense to put them in a potting mix. Sure, you can add some moss to the bag or wrap it with a paper towel, but again, depending on the many factors, wrapping in wet paper towel can do more damage than good. It is actually common to send plants like this - all good orchid nurseries will send their plants dry, or sometimes out of the potting mix, to prevent bacteraial or fungal infections in the box. Of course, orchids mostly have robust roots (compared to Hoyas)

hi Yonce!

Love the pic you took of me. You really captured the essence of me with that one 😆

@@Hoyalicious it's just a quick screenshot I grabbed from our video call since you refused to pose. :D

@@BasiePlants #Iwokeuplikethis

It is fine to cut them back. :)

Not the peduncle, or no flowers...
