I only buy Hoya under $20.

Lovely video. If an Alocasia is bowing its leaves like you describe, it usually means it’s getting too much light. Maybe farther away from the grow light would help

omg that's so funny my variegated heuschkeliana is such an easy grower. 😂 although I am thinking about repotting her soon and not gonna lie, pretty nervous lol. it's so interesting to see the different hoya people struggle with!

🪴Happy Planting🌿

Thank you thank you i did gess the #1 most difficult hoya. I just got 2 very small plants and the little leaves are just dropping whether wet or dry and i only had them about 3 weeks now. The kronias silver i did had that same experience and lost a whole big mature plant but its true about the cuttings rooting easily so i still have it. Thanks for such an interesting and enlightened video. When we first start to collect hoyas we grab all the one that are different to add to the collection not knowing not all of them will thrive in our areas. Shouting you from Barbados keep up the good works.❤❤

Thank you for showing off your problem hoya. May I ask, do you check your water PH? I discovered that using distilled water on my tricky hoya helps. Also your thirsty hoya will benefit as low ph dose not cause root rot, so lightly water daily. Also, do you know about flat mites? They are tiny and only sulfur kills them, I paint it dry with a brush on the entire plant. It smells, but works. I saw all my non-growing Hoya take off after a few treatments 😎

I ordered a Krinkle 8 one time, and it came in the pot with a bunch of cuttings, with tiny roots. one of the cuttings didn't fit right in the pot, so I put it in a smaller pot alll alone, and it was 2 leaves, it took 1.5 years before it started growing! I almost gave up on it so many times, but I just left it, watered it ever week, as the 2 leaves were green and firm, it now has 6 leaves! my main plant has been a prolific grower like most carnosas just that one took forever.

Hey love your channel. The waymaniea is hard one also grow very strange and ugly (when it decides to grow😂). I think if you gonna take the effort to grow it you can get a better claudy sky splash wise. Rb-dick can be a nice substituted to the Larisa, she's very slow. My difficult one is meridithii by far. I think there's no hard hoya, sometime it's the spefic cutting/starter plant that is bad and if you'll get another one from some plase else it may be better. The problem is that it's very expensive to buy a second plant so you struggle with what you have🤷‍♀️

Hoyas hate being wet feet.

I have a HoyaRebecca. I had it about 3 months-not problems. It is in the same medium and clear cup that I received it. It is outside on my deck. I do have problems with my It is dry difficult. I had lots of problems with my heuschkeliana. Hopefully your information will help me keep it alive. I a. Oh familiar with the other Hoyas in this video.

Loving your braids! 🥰

I'm surprised that your Rebecca is giving you a hard time. Mine has been easy peasy. Sun stressed and blooming. Sorry

I'm done with new guinea ghost 👻

I'm ready to chop my krohniana super silver.

I have my Hoya Heuschkeliana Inner Variegated in a chunky aroid mix in no drainage with a lecca layer at the bottom so I can see the water level. She has done nothing but grow beautifully for me in the 8+ months I’ve had her. Everyone is always complaining about her but she’s been one of my least fussy Hoya…

My heuschkeliana is so easy in soil. I give it lots of light and water every 10 days. I agree with you on the krohniana silver though. That one definitely likes to rot😭

My hoya callistophylla is my worst. It has not grown at all since I got it. It put out a tiny leaf once and I thought it's finally growing. It must have sensed my happiness because that little leaf fell off. I have other hoya growing out of their pots and this one and the krohniana silver. I got both of these from the same place so I don't know. It's been at least a year and neither of them have grown.

Yes. I use something like a shot glass size to prop hoyas

Sigilatis and V. Kerri for me are fussy. I want to trade them out. Your hair looks 🔥

I’m on my 4th Krohniana super silver 😂. It’s sooo pretty I really want to have it in my collection but they seem to hate me. I’m just grateful that it’s not one of those super rare expensive Hoyas 😅

Hi! This is my first time watching your channel. I love the vibe and you have a great voice! For Hoya, the Unsolicited Plant Talks channel and The Sober Plant Guy both grow in coco chips. They absorb water and the chunks leave lots of air pockets for the roots, since they are epiphytes. I’m all for keeping it simple. If you’re having root rot problems, you might try that. Just make sure to buy buffered coco chips; I did not and buffering them myself has been a chore. The Sober Plant Guy also has a big, beautiful Rebecca. And his video on supply basics and pest prevention are great. I now use his spray recipe to keep pests away and wash the plants. I really like it! You mentioned you didn’t know if Hoya Michele should be with one “l” or two “l.” The Hoya Michele is named after an Italian botanist and Hoya hunter Michele Rodda. So Michele, is the Italian version of the male name Michael: MEE-kay-lay. I know I was surprised to learn it wasn’t the common feminine name Michelle!

I only have one Hoya, I bought it about a month ago, because I thought I was “ready” to try a Hoya. I'm a newbie plant person, I’m about a year into my journey. It's a linearis. It's struggling. It came with three baby leaves and they have all dropped off. I keep telling myself to keep the faith, that’s its stress from the shipping and reacclimation… but….

Lol you crack me up. "it has just made that decision" 😖

Yea my Super Silver is wrinkly. Will try the orchid spray. Thx

Hi Step have you heard of a Hoya benguetensis I just got this Hoya this week . I just started getting into Hoya’s this year too .

Is this the same as the Krohniana super silver?

My super silver and heuschkeliana are doing well but I live in hot and humid Texas and they are outside. The heuschkeliana did fine through the winter last year. She’s a slow grower though. My most difficult one is Royal Flush, loses leaves, won’t grow. I’ve moved it to a shadier spot and then I moved it inside. The rest of my 40 Hoya are outside and doing well even my Thomsonii which I’ve heard can be tricky.

What are your most challenging Hoya? Also, any tips for me? Please share!

My Florida Beauty Mint. I love it.

🌿🌱🌾🌿

Philodendron Mayoi 💚 Not sure how uncommon it is these days!

🏜

I bought my Florida Ghost the same size and had the same issue with the roots kind of rotting but I repotted it and it is thriving now I actually just up-potted it! Now it is increasing in size 🙌🏽

Why did you reuse the soil from the Florida Ghost if you saw "creepy crawlies" in it? I'd be scared thinking that's probably what messed up the roots.

Alocasia needs a small tall pot. Your white pot for that Frydek way too big. Alocasia needs tight snuggles roots to pot. I hope i make sense. My Alocasia species are pretty happy in pons substrate in drainage pots😊

I really enjoyed your video 🌿🌱💟

Enjoyed your repot Stephanie. 🪴

What are you feeding your Hoya in pon?

Does your Alocasia leaves droop? Why do you think it happens?

Hey Lucian, New subbie here. Uhm I was wondering if propagation is doable with just one swiss cheese plant cutting. Thanks

The last hoya is stunning!❤😊

I put a muticord onto the smart plug so I can get multiple lights from one plug. Your plants look gorgeous
