Girl you’re giving me whiplash with those angles 😂 I kid I kid. You are a Hoya girlie now 💚💚

This was so on point! I agree with everything you said. Wish I would have seen a video like this when I first got into plants 😂 I'm a huge hoya head and now I make myself wait for weeks/months before I buy a new one that I feel I really want. I've not regretted buying a single one since I started doing that.

The hoya flower releases it's nectar at night, which is why they smell so much more at night

You have a bad cutting of Rebecca it's happened to me with all kinds of Hoya if I get a bad cutting whether it came to me and it had previously been diseased or pest not sure? When I buy a whole new plant of it I'm good to go. That's one of my easiest Hoya. I got a dud of Svetlana, I paid $80 for it,. It's never done a thing it only had two leaves maybe three and two of them died the last one is yellowing after over a year of trying different mediums starting over the roots. You will get more dots over the years I hate to bring bad news but I've definitely had quite a few here and there.

Hi Stephanie Watching 💚

My sunrise is still a baby, no new growth yet, I adore the red sunstressing though!! I can’t keep a khroniana alive 🤷‍♀️ nor the Sigillatis, I’m a big leaf Hoya lover, I think I only have 2 and the clandestine yellow is finicky, we’re trying different growing options for her I killed my first 2 compactas, finally got the current trailing!!

I wonder if your 'Larisa' is a dud. I got a cutting, rooted it myself and its growing quite a bit. Gave me 3 or 4 new big leaves in 3 months. They're surprisingly thirsty but they usually grow more than yours seems to have. Love your collection! It's interesting to see how different our shared species plants are and to see all the hoya you show that are now going onto my wishlist!

I have my grandmother's Hoya Carnosa; its leaves are so dark green that they look black! I keep it in a bright room without direct sunlight hitting it. I love all your Hoya's.

Oh wow. You’re calling me out on all the things!!!😮😮as a new plant collector, I’m getting overwhelmed and see now that I am crossing the line into hoarder territory. Thank you for this! ❤❤

Your number 1 hoya the Heuschkeliana has been in my wishlist from the first time I saw it with another UA-camr Kevin....I don't drive and I saw this Hoya only in London Ontario plant nursery, but I don't drive...so I wish I can reach that nursery to get that Hoya or if in the future our plants places here in Toronto and the GTA will finally have them....I will buy triple right away so I don't have to wait too long to grow it😂 I'm also patiently waiting for a Gunung Gading or Caudata Sumatra which are both similar....and a Kaimuki or Archboldiana in red flower...I'm a gardener at heart, recently I bought 3 crested moon cactuses as insurance if they die one by one😂, also found a stenocactus that's grafted as moon cactus....I'm sooooo happy to just have found it finally...but actually, i have someone who spies for me. I give her a list of my wishlist plants with photos and she goes all over plant places and reports to me whenever she found them😂😂😂then I drag my husband after work to get to the place soon before other ppl get them.

I KNEW Heush would be number 1! 🫶🏾 Thanks for sharing your lovely collection

💚🪴

#8 Thanks 👍🏽

🌹🌹❤️❤️🦘🐨

Stephanie! I love this video - definitely helped me to think and act more carefully.

I have two Hoyas that is doing Nothing no new nothing but it’s still alive 😊 17:46

I am going to start my Hoya collection soon ,my first name is Viola middle name Patricia & I saw a Hoya Noelle which is what I named my Gdaughter ,now at least U said the Patricia U 🫶🏽 so maybe I’ll have a good experience

What Hoya recommendations do you have for me? And which ones would you get? 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

I love that Hoya Viola. It’s beautiful. It’s lead shape for me 😍

Hello, can you do a video on how to examine plants and what to look for bugs before you purchase a new plant.

Repotting vids are my fav, it’s so satisfying, yes I make a huge mess too, especially now it’s winter and I’m repotting inside! Lol The direction of growth in a rectangular pot definitely matters, you wanna point the active growth into the middle so it has room to crawl, looks like you put the growth points at the far edge, it likely won’t grow backwards into the middle of the pot, dunno if that makes sense, like you’d pot up a gloriosum in a rectangular pot, so it has room to crawl along the substrate, why does it look like you’re potting it the wrong direction? Just put my white wizard on a moss pole, took a month for roots to fill the pole! I wash every pot between plants, but don’t always clean my cutters… 😂 Fold that moss pole along the lines at the sides first! Lol then it’ll stay open! It’s got a plastic film on it you can pull off too if you prefer the pole clearer. Also you wanna start a small plant on a pole, you’ll have to extend it right away if the full vine is put on it

Hello Steph, very grateful for your valuable advice. I am making several of those mistakes, my current addiction is hoyas🙈, I have decided not to buy more due to lack of space because the little ones will grow and I think I will face serious problems today. Greetings from Peru 🌿🇵🇪

Check out Rona too, if you have one nearby. I found a super full 6.5" pot of Hoya Curtisii last week in Kingston!!!

This is good and needed advise. Thank you.

Guilty on all charges! Thanks❤ Great advice for someone pet shopping.

I have made all these mistakes. My collection is up over 200 plants now and I find that some do not bring me joy. I have plants outside in "rehab" for the summer and now that its cold I had to make some tough decisions and just let some go. Things that climb and need larger moss poles just get to be a pain. But the good news is I have more room for more Hoyas!

All good advice! Pretty much sums up to don’t hoard plants. I also agree on being careful about big plants. I see many people even on UA-cam showing a pot of mid size monsteras with 3-4 stems. After my experience with my deliciosa and Thai constellation, I reckon 1 stem is all you need. They get large and in charge. Like LARGE. Sooner or later the plants will be fighting each other. 1 stem with good support is all you need.

I will have to save and rewatch daily lol. Come on don’t you see new plants in videos and suddenly HAVE to have them? I learned to stay off Palm Street and some other sites. The shipping costs can be more than the plant itself.

Plant Diary Truth. I enjoy my Junegle. Not stress. Oh I have killed some plants but I have my favorites. I purchased Aglaonema Pictum Tri Color 4 times. 4th time she is growing. 👍🏾Video. I enjoy 30 plants.Hey 👋🏾 Friend. I’m June in my Junegle. Virginia. 🪴Happy Planting🌿

Duplicates! 😅

Lol, I walk away from the store and wait for the impulse to pass. Like you said, if I really want it after a few days, 😊 then I'll go back for it.

My downfall Getting a plant just because someone else has it. I need to focus on the plants that I have.

#5 is my issue😢😅😂

Fellow Canadian here. Love your channel. Where do you buy your hoyas? I find them hard to get in such great varieties.

What a great video!!! Guilty as charged 😅! I must confess that with some specimens I ended my relationship by binning them... I remember a few that I was certainly NOT in love with, and that gave me constant problems - out they went! Philodendron pink princess? Amen! Bought it following a hype, just because I found it dirt cheap at some supermarket... "Why?!" I keep asking myself: I don't like its shape, I hate pink... I just recognized the name and the price was low (yay me!). And that brings me to a mistake I personally make: I live in Poland where you can find pot plants in almost every market, and it's not uncommon to find an Alocasia Frydek Variegata for $ 5 (just a two-leaf plant, but still!). What I do [far too often!!!] is I pity the plant because of the condition it's in or because I know the staff will not water it properly - dah, that's SUPERMARKET staff! - so I feel the need to take it home to save it from its fate. Unfortunately, more frequently than not I AM the one to neglect it 😟 And finally, one can sometimes not see the trees for the forest, to paraphrase the proverb: I feel zero joy when I look at my cramped plants, and I'd rather have few displayed to give them a chance to shine and be a real focal point in my rooms; why do I keep dragging new ones into my house 🙈??? All the best, plant parents 🪴 Beata

Smart shopping technique. I do the same for the most part 😅

You’re right, we as plant lovers do a lot of those things because we want more and more, but when it is enough? I don’t know if you have done this before I haven’t noticed it in your other videos, talking to 2 cameras but if not, keep doing it, it’s very interesting and adds dynamism to your videos 🎉

"Don't impulse buy" called out 🙄🤦‍♀️

Yes Stephanie you are so right and I have learned that lesson by ordering plants and babies that should have stayed 16:36 at a month or two longer before mailing and they die I won’t ordering too much any more.

Lol, i can not stop propagating hoya.

The getting rid of a plant thing...yea, just starting on that train over here 👉 lol

I have so many online shopping carts full of plants and tabs open by them for the plants in the carts lol I use this method to help myself get that dopamine rush from shopping and research. I leave the plants that pass research in for another week. If I’m still wanting them, I get them. I look for plants that grow slowly, since I have limited space, and will enjoy the mature and juvenile forms of. With X Mas coming up, I have a lot of propagations going, but that’s ok! I also get the plants on the sale rack at Lowe’s and force myself to learn to rehab them to learn how to best take care of them. If I’m getting plants, I’ll go for cuttings or bare root so I can best learn to care for them as well. Propagating has taught me the last line of defense to save a plant. It also showed me how to experiment with growing conditions and helps make some $ back for new plants or get new plants via trade. Reddit’s takeaplantleaveaplant is amazing for trades!

1: yes! I’ve gotten pretty good at letting go this year, but still have some left I could definitely part with! I definitely threw some out recently that I didn’t feel right about selling, saveable, but too rough 2: I don’t do duplicates unless I plan on putting them together! Yes! Check! I’ve got so many I don’t need doubles! 3: I stopped over propagating too! Yay! I’ve only got 4 types right now, I’m winning so far!! I quickly realized I didn’t know enough planty people to give them too 🤷‍♀️ unless I propagate something expensive or I wanna fill out a plant I have. 🤷‍♀️ 4: definitely!! I did this at the beginning too, ran out of space for the small plants and got overwhelmed, now it’s 1-2 at a time! And more medium sized ones if possible too, more robust! 5: guilty!!! Lost a few that way 6: oops… but I also check matured pics and care … mostly 7: I like buying small and watching them mature, way more satisfying than buying big for me, I’ve bought 3, hubby bought a white bird of paradise, I bought a big curly 3 plants in the pot dracaena, and a palm, otherwise it’s fun to get them to mature in my care! Learned that from the pink princess too 😂

Hi 😍 Can you please write the name of the plant you mention at 10:00 ? I have also been staring at it everytime I have seen it in your videos 😅😍

Have you seen the black anthuriums? They are absolutely gorgeous.

mist the plant while it’s putting out new leaves if you can’t provide a humidifier

Thank you Stef they had the best plants I still Love that Thai Constellation it so beautiful ❤😊

What state?

Yes I’ve used bobby pins to pin vines lol I’ve got so many! I need those deep drip trays for my hanging plants too!! I can’t use many cover pots because of the weight! They’d be so much easier to put in the macrame if already structured with the deep tray, plus the added coverage for over watering!! I will only use my Mollys succulent mix for succulent type plants, like the strings of things, ever try it? I treat every plant I bring home not really because I’m worried what I’ll bring home, but to prevent MY pests from getting the new ones I put my succulents kinda out of reach or hidden behind other plants on the windowsill so I don’t over water them lol
