I was planning to propagate that Is why am trying to find some guidelines. Thank you for sharing. I believe you. Live your hoya Kerri.

    Hello, this is such a good care guide. I think I have seen your Kerrii with the bamboo cage being shared on Instagram for so many times, absolute stunner! I have Hoya Kerriis green and variegated as well. I found that on new grow leaves, they normally come in pairs, one side of the leave grew big first and I would expect the other side to be the same. However to my surprise, the other baby leave just stayed the same size, turned a bit pink then a bit red and dropped. I water my kerriis accordingly to the season, and the pots have drainages. The kerris are also in good lightings. Just wondering if you had the same issue? And would you please share if you have any tips for that? I’d really like them to come in pairs and I know they can, because the more mature leaves down close to the roots are in pairs. Thanks!

    • @HomebyFaith
      @HomebyFaith  3 роки тому +1

      Hi there, are they growing during winter? If so, it's probably not the best scenario. However, they really have to be in the wild, with the heat, humidity, nutrients and something to climb in order to grow nicely. Mine sometimes grow in pairs, but usually just one side grows out before the other.

Facing north east (I’m in Australia). The leaves are finally come in pairs and baby leaves no longer drop. I did took note from u by adding more humidity and nutrients. We will see if it grows crazy in the next few months:) Thanks Faith!

    I need help! I purchased a baby with 4 leaves and lost one because it was in too wet of soil.. it was shipped to me and I left it for a week in the soil. I thought I’d change the soil after that and the leaves seem very soft 😭 I don’t know if it just needs water.. I was surprised at how you watered yours I didn’t think they’d drink up that much water in the shower!

    • @HomebyFaith
      @HomebyFaith  3 роки тому +1

      Are the leaves soft in wet soil? I'd definitely pull it out to check the roots! If the roots are indeed rotted, they'll be mushy and easy to pull apart. Don't worry! Hoya kerrii roots VERY quickly in water! Or even in a ziplock bag with a bit of water droplets too!

      You guys should take a peek into the soil and see if you have a node under the leaf! They'll grow if it's not just a leaf.
      Unfortunately if it's only a leaf it will remain a leaf :(

    • @HomebyFaith
      @HomebyFaith  3 роки тому

      It's extremely rare for a single heart cutting to contain enough node tissues to grow into a full plant. Even if it does it will take years. Usually at this point the leaf is getting too old to survive. I've seen a nursery that sells thousands of single hearts and only resulted in a dozen of them growing new vines.

      It's very common for plant shops to sell 1 heart which are basically 1 leaf cutting planted in soil.

    I came here after searching. I have many Hoyas but I found the succulents grow slower. I bought a variegated Kerrii which was not the best in shape plant. One leaf dropped off when I first took it home. It has lost a further two. The last one was very variegated. It't's not right by the south facing window to avoid leaf scorch but it is not doing well even with letting the soil dry out. I did notice it has was looks like rust. I checked the roots and they are healthy, I repotted it into a smaller pot today to stop it sitting in damp soil. Any tips?

      Hi Fraser, my variegated kerrii is also a lot harder to keep happy compared to the green one. I leave it inside a clear plastic bag so it gets almost 100% humidity and that seems to make it very happy. I only water it once a month because the leaves can absorb water through the air inside the bag. Now that you've repotted it, next step is to give it lots of humidity all the time. Mine is at the south window and it doesn't get scorch. Good luck!

      @@HomebyFaith Thanks for the response. I am glad I am not alone. I have lovely humidifier and we have more sun again, so will wait a few more weeks before putting into the bag. It is close to a south facing window next to some other more succulent Hoya's that prefer more light (obovata) just not on the cacti table. I have just received my finlaysoni today which I see likes that same treatment of being covered in a bag. But I moved my less common red pubicalyx as I thought it being more succulent than the other would like more sun. So put it by the other one and will see what happens. I don't have this drama with my philo collections. But the more plants we get the more shelves need going up for trailing plants

    I love your video very helpful. If I buy a leaf cutting with roots. How often to water? I hear that sometimes the nurseries sell them with the roots not so strong. 🤔 So would like to know how to care for just 1 heart purchase from a nursery or from anyone. Thanks such and LOVE you drawing video definitely will try it qith my daughter. she'll love it😍

    I got a single leaf clipping 2 yrs ago and to my surprise 2 more leaves sprouted this year, but they sprouted out of the soil, not into a vine. How can I grow it into a plant? Bigger pot? Give it a trellis?
