It really is a jungle in the greenhouse right now. Please let us know if there are any Hoya species that we have that you haven't seen in a while and want to see come back on the website. We probably haven't seen them in a while either. Put the names in the comments below or on our newsfeed on Facebook and we will try to get them back on the website before Christmas! KOKORANCHHOYA/...

I have 3 hoya. I don't know what ID anybody can help me please?
Wow best video out there!! By far the most helpful! Thanks so much!
Hi Susan, I was just wondering if you knew of a website or something that has a record of genetics for most of the Hoyas that have been found or hybridized. Thank you so much for doing these how to hybridize your own Hoyas videos. I'm so excited to try. 🙏🙏🙏💯
👏 wow that's in art
Thank you for sharing this knowledge and spreading the Hoya love!!💚🌸❇️
Susan can I ask what you used to magnify the flowers here in your video?
Can these be saved to use at a later date? And if so, whats the best method?
When you say that the plant needs high light, does that mean the equivalent of full sun or bright indirect?
Thank you for such a thorough video.
Please share the soil recipe…greatly appreciated.
What kind of soil/composition did you use?
💚
Hello Susan, this is super useful video thank you so much. I was wondering if you are amateur enthusiast and don't have many flowers blooming at once, can you save the pollen in a freezer like other plants?
THAT IS VERY INTERESTING ,AND COAST EFFECTIVE LOL !!!!!!!!!!
Love how you nail match the Hoya bloom
I just found your channel. It’s so fun to see a real Hoya ranch! Thank you so much!
Great informative vid
Very helpful, thank you! About how often are you successful using this method? (I’m wondering how many times I should expect to have to do it before getting results). And how do you pick which Hoyas to cross? Is there any way to predict what traits the hybrids will have or is it a random mix of the parents traits? Thank you!!
Hi Susan! Great video! Curious when labeling do you put the mother plant name first then X and then the father?
fascinating! cannot wait to try this with some of my hoyas!
feels like fraud with you calling yourself KOKO Ranch but having no animal called KOKO or at least one in ANY of your videos
KOKO means keep on Keepin’ on. A farm grows crops a ranch raises animals. We raise Boer goats and cattle. The ranch was named by my father who was a 31 year Army veteran in transportation. The truckers in transportation would say keep on Keepin on as they transported goods down the road.
Thanks for your sharing. 💚
I would really like to turn one into a ghost does anyone know how?
Reduce the light
I’m so glad I came across this video thank you so much!! I’m a pretty new owner to Hoyas and have not had any successful flowers yet but I have a few starting so I can’t wait to see how it goes!
Just tried this for the first time and made a few mistakes, but I'm excited to try again soon!! Thank you Susan! I'm a huge fan of yours and love collecting your hybrids! I hope to be as successful at it as you are some day!! 😊
Wondering if you can help me. I recently purchased a small plant that was labeled Koko Ranch “Crystal”. I purchased it from a lady who is part of a Hoya plant group that I am also in. I was wondering if you could shed a little light on this particular variety such as background, parentage, etc. Thank you.
I soooo want a long leaf hoya they're just stunning!
I couldn't understand the name of the tool you used, sorry, I am Hungarian. Would you be kind and writing it down for me? I would like to try this method. Thank you very much! :)

@@beastlyflower1 Thank you!
Thanks for posting . I just picked one up . I sure hope I can get it bloom like yours . Beautiful !
omgggg do you sale this plant cuttings do you have a shop
Kokoranchhoya.com
do you have a plant shop
Can’t wait to try this Susan!
Hey Susan it was so nice seeing you at winter garden today! And for letting us know about this video. Truly appreciate all your wisdom and how friendly you are!
Is there a best time of day or best time during the flower cycle to do the pollination?
at night when the flowers start spreading their scent. their main pollinators are moths so that's when they're most fertile
@@vanessaromascanu7573 thank you
" The dog "
I love that you share basic stuff like this. Everyone who loves Hoyas needs to know and recognize these things but most sellers don’t talk about it or teach! So thank you for sharing knowledge with us! And the new greenhouse is 🥰 major plant goals!
Love this video short!
This is awesome. Interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Susan! Love your beautiful hybrid Hoyas!
Share please so others can learn!
Thank you so much for these videos! It’s hard to find good footage and explanation of hoya pollination I have a question, if I was to self pollinate a plant, do I have to remove the pollinium from a second flower before sliding the ones from the first flower in?
Great question no a self you can use the same pollensacs from the same flower. Remember when you do this it’s like two siblings having a child or you having a child with yourself in so much as the worst qualities can come through because you don’t have other genes to add to cause hybrid vigor. Hybrid vigor happens when genes of different species of a plant are mixed together. The best qualities are often exaggerated and the worst recess or don’t show. Not always true but often, that is why you try to cross two different species. You want the best qualities to be passed on and the worst qualities to be hidden (not expressed).
@@beastlyflower1 oh okay that makes sense! I hope I can get several plants blooming at the same time this summer Thank you for your answer!
@@beastlyflower1I know this is an old comment but could you use pollinium from the same plant just take the pollinium from a different bundle of flowers. So take one pollinium from one bundle of flowers and put it into another flower from a different flower bundle? Or is this still considered self pollinating also?
Susan these are the best videos on pollination I’ve ever seen! Cannot tell you how grateful I am to you for doing this! I know you’re really busy and I appreciate your time and wisdom!!! Thanks so very much!! ❤️
Miss talking to you! I have been out of the loop for awhile since my mother’s passing. I’m getting better and the grief is more like memories flooding not tears flowing
Share the video anywhere you think some would like to see and use the information!!!
Share knowledge Mentor Others Share the Love The premise of Hoya Heart
I learn so much from your videos!
You are so sweet. Share this video please. Others may be interested! I’m trying to get to 500 views lol!
Great video, Susan…being able to actually see clearly how it’s done, and as Betsy Begonia said without camera shake! So interesting. Would like to also see one you’ve crossed with the little tag you attach. Could you let us know if this one takes? Would be fun to follow its development. Thanks for a great video! Terrie😊
Absolutely when I get back from Georgia I will do a few more and time lapse them and see which takes and which ones do not
Thank you again for the video!
I laughed so hard when you said "I'm really not feeling successful!" I felt that frustration. This is an excellent video with great footage. Thank you so much for doing this! I was watching some videos about this the other day but yours makes it the most clear with no camera shake, etc.
Thank you Susan for this informative video! 🌿🌿🌿
I haven’t forgotten you. I will send what I said.
I stopped growing I water a few years ago because of bugs. How do you keep them at bay?
I couldn’t believe I could find a video actually comparing the two. It’s just what I was looking for and what a good video. I was sold a Vitellinoid cutting but I’ve had a reason to think it might be a Meredithii. It wouldn’t mater either way, they are both beautiful Hoyas but it’s just nice to know. After seeing your video I’m pretty sure it’s a Vitellinoid. Thank you.
