Did anyone else notice that I misspelled "pronounced" in the video? Too late now ..... 🤣
Love how human you are, mistakes and all. I love your banter and your advise.
Thank you! If mistakes makes me more human ... boy howdy I am soooo human 🤣
Holy shit! I was having panic attacks. I saw you put out a new video but we had tornados go thru and had a flipping mess and didn’t have time to watch. Now it’s time to chill and no better way! Thanks for saving my day!
Oh no! We were pretty much spared over here. I hope the video doesn't let you down. It's just ... me scissoring ... ☺
In today's episode...
Delightful Dave and his Fantastical Foliage: the curious case of the ambiguous aroma 👀😂
Perhaps I should have clarified that it was very sweet-smelling. Not good, either 😅
Please can this be a thing you do every video.
@@hanstera_deliciosa 😂🫶
@@hanstera_deliciosa Sniff random items? I can do that.
@@soberplantguy not to be rude, but I was referring to HeatherOatmeal’s delectable description.
A hoya guide would be a smashing idea! Your silver dollar looks wonderful and you are being secretive... You asked before about serpens. Mine are growing nicely in constant moisture and has let me know immediately when it got dry. I do like the way you show the process. I find that helpful. Maybe you could talk a bit about the fluval and how you use it. I use it and I have been too heavy handed too often.
Thank you! I bought the fluval for a propagation experiment I'm filming in the background. I would never spend that kind of scratch for it myself--and I found it for five bucks at a thrift store to boot!
@@soberplantguy I use it for my delicate little leaf hoya as they are just getting started. Experimenting as we go
I just woke my dog up laughing at you sniffing your bonsai shears and looking baffled!!
If I do nothing more than make someone laugh, it was worth making the video 😆 Tell your pup hello ☺
Hello again! Probably should've watched this one earlier, eh? Never mind. Change of plans. The cuttings that look like (miserable) leaves on a stem got moved to perlite. The ones that look like mini tree trunks with branches are still waiting outside in water to be potted, because my stupid order is late.
As your video triggered my need to do plant stuff, I figured my maranta was getting too complacent, so I re--soiled it and added back a bit I cut off a while back that rooted nicely. I really didn't like the soil it came in. Also, I wanted to see the roots. Those are some beautiful roots, with all those round bits (tubers? bulbs?), whatever they are. It's a pretty root system. I'm even pretty sure I didn't kill it. I was actually rather pleased with myself until I remembered I had a bit of node with roots and no leaves that I hadn't decided what to do with yet, and it disappeared. It might have ended up inside the pot. I am not digging it up again to find out, so here's hoping it won't be rotting in there and killing my plant. I will be unhappy if it died at this point, but I still have my spare maranta chilling outside tucked behind a humongous fern. It really is borderline miraculous that my plants haven't rebelled against my unconscionable experimentation yet. They do seem to be really good at surviving, plants. It's impressive.
Anyway, that's my daily adventures in plant learning done. Thanks for the perlite idea. I honestly don't know why I didn't think of it, so it's a good thing I watch your videos.
I admire your adventurous spirit. I'm much the same.
@@soberplantguy If you're not willing to risk anything, how can you learn?
Honestly, though, I'm just more curious and restless than I am in need of pretty looking plants.
I always buy them small, or get cuttings. It's more fun that way for me. The only exception is for a particular spot near the entrance that gets relatively little light and I wanted a grown plant for there, and even that was maybe a 6 inch pot? It's a Dieffenbachia (Green Magic, probably), and the poor thing has been suffering because when it came in I spotted what I now believe to have been actual spider webs, but I was worried, so it went straight into the shower despite having obviously been watered very recently, and I kept moving it around trying to find a place away from other plants that wasn't either too bright or too dark, and, well. She seems perfectly healthy and is giving me new leaves and only lost one yellow one from the bottom, so I guess she's fine. Except she's currently located in a spot that gets light from two different windows, so I hope she doesn't get too angry when I finally move her to her intended spot. Maybe the lack of A/C in that spot will compensate for the diminished lighting.
@@unfilthy Bingo. As for pests, spider mites ain't so bad. I feel very lucky that I've never had thrips. Sounds like a nightmare.
Seeing you in the same scenery and angle is comforting 😊 But looking forward to the shock and awe of a different location too!
Am I the only guy talking about plants in a room with ... zero plants?
@@soberplantguyI believe you are😅
@@robinprice6879 WINNING
I want you to know that Stella my cat loves your Hoja videos; she always gets very intense watching, must be the hat or the long tendrils, she loves them.😂
@@soberplantguy I think you’re one of the only plant people who is actually cooler than their plants.
You're killing it brother. You're the REAL Big Deal.
Ah, it's been too long, brother. Thanks for your support ☺
I too am surprised about all the wrong info I there about hoya. I used to prop in Fluval stratum but struggled with transferring to it's permanent substrate. So now I also prop all my hoya in its permanent substrate. Love your video! Take care! ❤🎉
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the great content! Do you ever put a prop back into the ‘mother plant’ pot to root up? I’m sure you’ve covered this already but I’m only just starting out binge watching your vids 😂xx
Hey, thanks! Really appreciate that 😊
And, no. I haven't ever talked about that. I don't put them in the mother plant because I doubt I'd be able to keep it moist enough for the new prop, but dry enough for the plant. I have no doubt that someone does it successfully. But this chunky mix dries out on the top so quickly that I think I'd be looking at 💀
My hoya has, I believe, a growth point finally thinking of starting. I know nothing of hoyas. I was using a jewelers hoopdedoo and saw a tiny bit of white sap. Does this happen when new growth happens? It's done nothing for the 2 or 3 months since I bought it. Bought Sulphur dust just in case. Any wisdom you choose to pass on to me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your videos!
Great video and beautiful hoyas. I don't have a lot of experience with hoyas. In your upcoming Hoya Guide, would you consider speaking on 1. Do you have to trellis all hoyas. 2. Does it truly matter whether the vines are trellised clockwise or counter-clockwise? By the way, sir, you're looking rather smart today📸👍
Absolutely I will ! And by "smart" you mean ... never mind. The outfit 🤣 Thanks for the compliment, too. Really appreciate it.
@soberplantguy we say that in England! Glad you understood 😊
Such wonderful practical information. Just one question, when you place a thicker stem in the substrait, how moist do you keep it?
Hello! I treat it no differently. Moist until it's pretty decently rooted, and then slowly back off. Back off the watering to quickly, like I just did with a recent prop, and you/I risk dry rot. Which, again, I just did 🤣 Oy
I'm in a really small town in a small subdivision and also had a tornado go thru our places a lot of tree damage some minor home damage. We were lucky no one hurt no flooding here as well tho Big River is close to us maybe 2 miles. So I'm relaxing watching you
I'm relieved to hear that you and yours are ok. It was dramatic enough for us here in Iowa City, and it was nothing compared to that. Cheers ☺
This was a fantastic video - One I'll be watching multiple times. Thank you for your insight and laughs.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
Looking forward to your Hoya guide, theres always something to learn!
Im happy to hear that your Hoya Sunrise is doing so well!
I cant do water prop, it either takes long or my cuttings rot.
Moss and perlite works the best/fastest for me, but everyone has things that work and don’t work with their care/environment
What colour is your Hoya Hanhiae flower?
Even if I didn’t have to still purge some, I wouldn’t be able to buy from you, intercontinental shipping ain’t great 😂
Exactly: what works for me ... works for me, or doesn't 🤣 In theory I have both pink and yellow flowers--the one in the video is pink. Intercontinental shipping is great, if you don't mind a rescue mission 😆
One of the best takeaways from this video is : label as you go! I propagate and think I will remember and then I do not! So I am very diligent about it now. And I agree with your chop of that long leafless vine on the MT09. Not that my opinion really matters.
Who doesn’t love affirmation? Thank you!
Hello! Nice video as usual. I have an off question. The Soltech bulb that you really like, does it get hot? Do you put it into your regular light fixtures and lamps or do they look tacky?
Also, since you do that pest regiment monthly, and have for awhile now, how are the mealie bugs? I haven't had a meal ie bug, but my collection is growing so I am worried. 😂
They do get pretty warm, but I wouldn't go so far as to say hot. I use them in fixtures large enough to cover the entire bulb. The quality of light is awesome, and you'll never know the difference. But, it is a floodlight-looking bulb, so if you can see it, ya, it ain't great 😁
Thank you! I just received my bonsai scissors yesterday!! Also have you been able to control the mealies
@@ttschrock7126 Yesssss on the scissors!!! And, yes on mealies. I do this: ua-cam.com/video/Zew88V5rdOg/v-deo.htmlsi=SHC4p3J_ItAWxNzI If it's root mealies you're struggling with, I'd recommend Pure Crop 1. Very expensive, but hey ☠
First time viewer and I’m now subscribed. I just love Hoyas
Welcome aboard, and thank you!
Excellent info on propagating! Have you done a prep for sale vid??
I haven't. Like every video I make, I wonder if anybody is even going to care 🤣
@@soberplantguy Oh we care, 'good' solid advice is actually hard to find on YT. There's you, Fern, the Everything plants guy, and 1 or 2 others I occasionally watch and that's it, but mainly just you '3'. It's all about the natural presentation and communicating directly into the camera vs. people watching themselves in the viewfinder, lol! Fyi, a few vids ago you sounded surprised that you got so many comments, it's bc you do a good job and we all know that 7 + word comments effect the algorithm. I sometime do 2 comments, but I don't know if they reduce that 2nd one or not?
@@rebeccahenderson7761 WOW--thank you! Yes, comments help immensely with the algorithm. Truly, they have made a huge impact for me. (I got *so* lucky that my first video got traction.) And yes, Fern is the best. Thankfully it's not a binary choice, or I'd have no viewers at all 🤣 Really appreciate the kind words, as always.
Nooooooo! Not Noelle! It's so beautiful! I've been tying to find a reasonably priced one for some time. I did some propagating, retrellising, watering on Tuesday. I'm very disappointed in my year old Sunrise. In west window, plenty late afternoon sun, not a bit of sunstress. Just green blah. Great video Dave. Thanks for sharing! 💚 Dee, NY
Thanks, Dee! I have found that she sunstresses, for me, better in the winter/cooler temperatures. (And don't you dare "blah" green plants! You KNOW how much I love them 🤣😂🤣)
Lol I do too😊
@@soberplantguyNo wonder my H. Sunrise wasn't doing much! Discovered it covered in mealy bugs! It's hanging from a curtain rod so it wasn't easy to notice. Treated it, hope it recoups! 👍🏽
@@deemari577 Those little - - - - - - s
@@soberplantguy 🤫🤭
Lol! I was just out in my office where all of my plants are and desperately trying to catch any in need - thinking about the worst plant advise I've ever heard = "let your plants dry out between watering." - And I'm trying out my new DIY pon with an in pot water reservoir. Wish me luck, lol!
Luck is for amateurs -- but I will wish you well ☺
@@soberplantguy :) Thanks!!
I am calling dibs on one of those cuttings
Did you say one of each?--SOLD 🤣😂🤣
@@soberplantguy yes
Hi! I just found your channel and really like it for a bunch of reasons… I am propping a 2 node top cut of Hoya Mathilde (splash/ silver) The top growth contains 5 peduncles. Trying to decide whether or not to save them. What would you do?
I would leave those snd hope for the best! They may dry up, but I’ve had pretty decent success keeping them. Cheers from Iowa City
@@soberplantguy I’ll leave them and see what happens!
Speaking of Ilagiorum...and I pronounce it as EeLahgeeohrum lol... I don't know if you remember my mentioning mine a few weeks back, which had dropped all but 2 very sad leaves. I'm happy to report that it has now sprouted two microscopic leaves and another growth point! Great timing as well; it only had until the end of the month to show me it wanted to stick around. 😂🇨🇦
I'll try out this pronunciation next time! I have one that, same: "You've got until August to prove that you want to stay part of this family" 🤣😅🤣 I'm pretty sure, however, that I'm just going to have a pot that's freed up 😇
The only question I have- do you think my water props would prefer the taste of Dasani or Evian? 😉
Do you not have any props worth feeding Pellegrino to? 🤣😂🤣
@@soberplantguy Entitlement is real, Dave. We don’t want our children thinking they’re better than everyone else.
I love your vibe. With all this propping do you have a shop? I’m looking for a new dealer to support my habit.
* how would you prop linearis?
Thanks so much! I don't have a shop, but should probably at least start a FB page or something. I can always be reached at soberplantguy@gmail.com, however. As for linearis, I haven't tried that Hoya, yet. Thanks again for the kind words ☺
I think I've killed hanhiae twice, LOL, what's a girl to do. As always Dave I enjoy watching you.
Ahh, thank you! I just threw away a prop, and have a small plant fighting for it's life on the front porch. It's not a beginner Hoya, to be sure. Cheers from Iowa City ☺
Sorry if a dumb question. How do you tell if your roots are dry rotted? i have some plants that look shriveled even though they are watered but I checked roots and just not sure. They don't break easily... I ended up chopping and trying to prop.
Were they really thin and stringy? Usually when you pull on them, the sheath comes right off. If they weren’t mushy, this is likely what was going on. And that’s a great question. Cheers from Iowa City.
for me , water propagation is the safest option.
I hate the taco test and those that say they like to be rootbound. Due to that I had a fungii that dried out way too fast and got dryrot.
That's too bad, but lesson learned (for both of us). As you can see, I'm subtly adding my two cents to the conversation 🤣
So you don't make the cut a quarter inch or so above the node to allow for a little dieback?
I'm not sure where I cut it lol, but it's never died back into the node. To date.
I want a Hanhiae yellow lol can never find it. I have the pink!
Time will tell ... but I *may* have bought yellow seedlings. The grower was pretty sure. But that's not exactly conclusive 😆
I never got to witness the beautiful flowers of my Hanhiae it blasts flowers all the time. Has your flowered? I want to add Hoya Hanhiae Purple to my collection. Can you remind me how one can buy your cuttings.
Mine is quite young, and grown from seed, so no peduncle yet. It's also been getting wayyy too much light. I'm at soberplant@gmail for any plant inquiries. Thanks for asking ☺
نبات هويا جميل شكرا ❤

Do you buffer your coco husk before using it?
I did buy some cal/mag because I had a couple of plants looking weird and I just couldn't figure it out. So I did buffer a batch, but when I went to repot the weird looking plants--it was the root mealies that I bought from Florida (in a roundabout way 🤣). I got on the PureCrop1 train real quick after that. The most recent batch I made up, I buffered because, well, now I have all that cal/mag.
But, no, I have never buffered before this, and never had any problem whatsoever with nutrient block. "They" say that even using a food with cal/mag it won't work. But for years it's been fine, so.... Perhaps those smokable gardens are far more sensitive? I'm really not sure.
@@soberplantguy thanks for the quick reply as always!
@@soberplantguy oh and I did notice the husk was labeled as low EC and PH balanced, but I wanted to know what your thoughts were.
@@christinev3861 Perhaps that explains it 😁 I thought it said so, but someone wrote to me and said it didn't mention it, then I forgot to check when I reordered. Thanks for mentioning it!
Can a hoya cutting have a growth point without a node? Understood that it can root anywhere on the stem but what about growth point?
Definitely will need a node to grow a plant (in rare cases, you can have a leaf and stem with enough stem cell material to *eventually* grow a plant, but that can take ... years). So all the plants you saw me cutting included at least one node. Sorry I wasn't clearer on that point!
@@soberplantguy just needed a clarification, that's all. I was thinking maybe it was the same as begonias where u could just cut up a stem into a million pieces and still grow a plant (even cut up a leaf) 🤭
Does your wife know about Jennifer 😂
Who? What? 🤭
