Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Yosef Hezekiah i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Plantubers use $200 grow lights because they are given them for free, for promotional purposes. I have turned down probably a dozen people. Of course they cost more because of the advertisement. I'd rather just buy my own.
I realize this vid is three years old but I found the documentation really wonderful to watch. I got two tiny 2.5 inch pots of sunrise over summer and was able to take cuttings in the fall and only rencently added them into the mother pot and I'm so delighed seeing all the leaf phases to this plant. Watching all the changes to your collection gives me ideas of what I might purchase in the spring so thank you!
I have had a Hoya Sunrise for 1.5 years, got a ton of growth from it but the only leaves that were red were the original leaves it shipped with so THANK YOU for this!
Gorgeous💕I just ordered my first Sunrise last week and it’s on the way :) Can’t wait to try the grolight!!! Thank you for posting this. I’m a new sub here.
Geez Louise!!!!!! Where have you been my whole plantee life?! I’m lovin your videos. Informative and entertaining. I NEED to see if my Sunrise has a “tan line”😂
@@angelmartin7310 7 months late but no it’s not specifically the moisture in moss. They get mature growth in the wild growing up house walls, fences, and trees. I’m training a syngornium to grow up burlap on my wall (so it doesn’t rip off my paint with its roots). It’s the upright growth that makes them want to grow big like that
I got my Sunrise. A friend surprised the heck out of me and sent a cutting that is doing so well. Opened the box, this video popped right into my head again. ❤🌱🌱❤ yah. Going to watch this video again in case I missed something. If not, it will definitely encourage me to try something new.
It took my Hoya sunrise almost a year to change colors. Placed in the sun, it just kept putting out new growth of green leaves. The leaves even got a bit fried but still remained green. I decided to keep it in the same place where it gets lots of sun. Then this winter the whole plant started to show beautiful colors. I dunno if the season plays a part. Maybe the short daylight and the temperature drop in winter nights(no snow) are key to the change of colors?
Always loved the Streptocarpus in Logees catalogs but have never tried one. Box stores and nurseries don’t carry them, not sure why. You mentioned they’re nice, can you perhaps do a video on the varieties, where to get them and how to care for them? Something different from the foliage plants...! 🌿 I do enjoy your videos, and esp the quality over quantity!!!!
My Fitchii did that & I panicked & moved it!! 😂 Also, the new leaf on my Rotundiflora is real deep burgundy! I hope It’s going to be ok cuz I left it under the lights!! 🌱🤍☀️
It's so interesting I always thought about sun stress as UV or heat, but I guess DAT VISUAL SPECTRUM yo brings the oxidative stress np. The one cool thing about winter for me is seeing all the cold stressed leaves outside too (geraniums get really pretty). Are there any houseplants you can cold-stress? I should check TicToc lol bc that seems like a bad idea but I'm curious
Hello Nick -- from a storm-battered, 'Tier 4' COVID Lockdown, BRIGHTON 🌈 UK Your videos are moments of sanity in the current darkness, thank you! Could you show us your Growhouse/Growlights set-up? Is it a cabin-type thingy, as I thought I glimpsed Mirrorfoil in some of the shots? I've just begun using growlights, as our daylight levels are probably on a par with yours -- I'm looking ultimately to convert my bedroom to a plant nursery & propogation station (I've already begun with test tubes in the bathroom!) -- while plants that are thriving can 'show themselves off' in the living-room; I really appreciate the wit & humour, coupled with sound advice, on your videos! From Lockdown Brighton 🌈 UK take care & be well y'all! 🙏🏽🙏🏼
@@phytosexual perrrrfect. Also really interesting to hear that you had the growlights on 24/7 - I've always heard that plants like /some/ hours of darkness to "rest" but I've never really understood it. Seems like your hoyas grew well for you without any rest!
I recently read that if you sun stress Hoyas they’re more likely to have leaves die off in the winter. Did you experience this at all that you noticed? 😅
Wonder if you can over stress plants with too much light. My obovata, wayetii, and Australlis all have some stressed leaves under the lights. Again your sunrise is gorgeous!
I’m sure you can over-do practically anything. Of course energy is involved producing the pigments, and the pigments are involved protecting the plant from too much sun. I assume, ideally, the amount of light near sun stressing is probably the optimal amount of light for growth and flowering.
@@phytosexual would the purple (blue/red) lights work? I use a set in my living room that gets no light for some pothos but I just ordered a larger purple light for my bedroom with all of my hoya and was hoping I didn't make a mistake? I can't seem to find answers anywhere
I’m curious if temperature also has some effect on sun stress color. I live in Oklahoma and in the summer it’s sunny and hot af. In April and May I have great color on my succulents that are outside, but in July and August, when it’s upper 90s and into the 100s, my color is very bland. Colors start improving again in the fall until I have to start moving plants indoors in October. I have new grow lights this winter in my garage where I keep my plants that can take the cooler temps (probably gets down into the low 40s on really cold nights), and I have some of the most intense coloration on most everything. What are your thoughts and observations?
There is a thing with succulents called cold stress, that's probably what's going on, would not recommend that with Hoyas because they are a highly tropical group of plants for the most part.
Does the brand of lighting matter when sun stressing. I had a Hoyas new growth dry out and not even color. I don’t know what I did wrong. Soil was well cared for.. also, love the book you snuck in there😉
all those colors done by grow lights , amazing ,do you use the one color light or the three colors lights the blue red and white colors?and what is the diference? thank you
The difference is that white light contains all the spectrums and there is some plants don't use, but it does look better. If you don't care about how the light looks red and blue are more efficient.
Did you say you have the grow light on 27/7 ? What bulb ? I’ve been told Hoya grow under reg led bulbs and they don’t need special grow bulbs …your thoughts?

No that should only happen if they are so close to the bulbs it physically heats the leaf up. The room they were on was in the 60's so no real risk of heat burn.

Hi Nick ✋🏻 so your link to the white grow light isn’t working. Can you tell me what the name of it is?
Hi Nick will your 2 leaf sunrise start to vine ? thanks, Duncan from Alberta
They're not really vining Hoya. More of a trailing/spilling one. If you're expecting it to wind around and grow up stakes and whatnot it won't.
My lights do full, blue or red. Which do you think is the best for growth not stress?
What is the lumen level of your grow lights?
not sure :/ I just look at how the plants respond.
I got my hoya carnosa compacta which appeared to be sunstressed. If i put it under bright shaded light, will it revert back to its original green color?
Yep and quickly
New subbie here!!! How long did you have the grow lights on? I’m getting a sunrise soon and i’d like to keep it sunstressed
um I didn't have a timer, so, yes. Also the grow light has to contain UV light or else it will just be green unfortunately.
