hi Doug, I found this video from researching the difference between lacunosa and krohniana. I finally got my lacunosa bloomed, and they have almost identical bloom, just different size. these two are pretty rewarding hoyas, I grew from cuttings also and just took months (maybe 2 years) for it to bloom.
Congratulations on flowering both of them! To my untrained eye the only difference between lacunosa and krohniana is that krohniana has cordate (heart-shaped) leaves.
so what is your suggestion on make a cutting full like that, do you trim when one get's long and root/insert back to make more vines? in regards to my single stands of Hoya's omg and the curtisii so hard to keep make happy.
Yes, full plants like that are comprised of many cuttings rooted and put back into a pot. Many of these hanging plants look best from lots of cuttings. One cutting won't work unless you are looking to trellis. Hoya curtisii is a tough one to keep happy unless you have a lot, and I mean a lot of humidity.
I recently just purchased the Hoya Krohniana black and Hoya Krohniana Eskimo black as well. I was thinking about putting them together in 1 pot is that a doable plan?
I received this plant in a Hoya swap over 16 years ago, and it was labeled Heart-leafed lacunosa. This was before they even came up with the name krohniana. My understanding is that most of what they call krohniana today is in fact really lacunosa, and that what I have is the real krohniana. You can tell the difference, because this one never gets a leaf that is not heart-shaped. There is virtually no silver flecking on mine.
Any tips? I got a small one from a store (they had received it the day before from overseas so hasn't had a chance to acclimatize), it had bad root rot. So I cut off what wasn't healthy to reroot it, got some roots and I put it in a well draining soil mix, in a terra cotta pot. I just put it in my tiny hoya greenhouse with high humidity in hopes it starts to thrive.
Sounds like you have done all the right things except for perhaps using the terracotta pot. As a rule not many Hoya people use these pots as it dries out the roots too quickly from the sides. I know if seems like they would be just the ticket, but in my experience they don't work well.
Doug love your videos alway use them as a reference point when I'm getting new hoya plants. I wonder if you could help me . I recently purchased this plant from Spain I live in the uk when it arrived the leaves were pale. Do you know what I should do? Any advice really appreciated.
Hi Sherry, I recently started this plant over again from cuttings so it is kind of fresh in my mind. The leaves can get pale on this one from too much sun exposure, or over watering. If the soil seems especially damp, I would let it dry out before watering again. I found this one readily roots in moist potting mix with bottom heat. It is one of the few that did not really like to be rooted in water. It likes the same conditions as lacunosa, and can be a little temperamental at times. Stick with it and it should improve as we begin to move towards spring.
No, I only brought it outside to film it. They are mostly indoors except for a couple of months in the greenhouse. I no longer live in that house so my conditions are not nearly as good for it .
Hello Doug, I was wondering if you know where I could obtain a Krohiana with those heart shaped leaves? Do you sell them or cuttings? Or do you know of a seller? Thanks Randall
Hi Randall, I have a couple of rooted plants left in 3 oz clear cups in coconut husk that I can sell. Send me an email at dougchamberlain61@gmail.com if you are interested.
I have a krohniana, the seller sold it to me as a krohniana but it also presents itself longer shape leaves on some leaves… does that mean it’s lacunosa?
I have just learned about the fact that many of the krohniana sold today, especially the fancy ones like Black Leaves, Super Silver, etc., lose or never had the heart-shaped (cordate) leaves. The one that I have was given to me with the name of the Heart-Shaped Leaved lacunosa, and it has never had a leaf that was not heart-shaped. I think that these longer shaped leaved "krohniana" are really lacunosa, but the two are so closely related that I don't know how much of a difference it makes anyway.
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas I’ve read that lacunosa can change shape based on humidity and light. Mine definitely changed to longer shape once it was under my care
My Krohniana just bloomed for the first time and I was looking forward to the scent, but oh dear lord do the flowers smell bad 👀 The entire room smells like pee 😶 The flowers are so beautiful, but I don't know if I can live with that smell...
Wow! Everyone's sense of smell is so different; to me and, I would guess, most people the flowers of this one smell beautifully perfumed. They smell exactly like lacunuosa blooms, do those smell like pee to you as well?
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas I don't own a Lacunosa, but I have a Rebecca which is currently working on her peduncles. I am hoping hard she smells nothing like the Krohniana 👀 My husband jokes that the extra room smells like a public toilet. We put her out on the balcony for now, as it is warm and pleasant at the moment. Then we need to figure things out 😶
Wow! Can’t wait to watch 10 years of your videos!!! Amazing!
You have your work cut out for you; there are an awful lot of videos; have fun!

Hi Doug, thanks for a video, absolutely agree it's amazing plant! Best regards!
Thank you Antti, and best regards to you as well!

Hello Doug ✋🏼 Evelyn here. I just bought a 3” rooted plant. I’m so completely happy with her. Your video was very informative 👍
Hi Evelyn, you will love this plant as it is one of my favorites!
like 199❤
Wow I love your plant it’s huge!! Your videos are also helpful :)
Thank you so much Theresa!

There is uch a great variety of hoyas!
That is part of the reason that I love them so much!
She's so beautiful
Thank you Lynda!
I recently just purchased the Hoya Krohniana black and Hoya Krohniana Eskimo black as well. I was thinking about putting them together in 1 pot is that a doable plan?
It is a totally doable plan as their wants are totally the same. I think it would make for a very interesting specimen!
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas 😻
Do you know the exact clone you have? Is there some silver flecking in it? Ok I think I see some. would this be Hoya krohniana splash?

@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas thank you so much. I'll follow your advice, hopefully it will recover.
Super cute!!!
Just had to move this one back indoors as the squirrels were chewing all the vines off!
Oh my that’s the biggest krohniana and lacunosa I have ever seen. So beautiful! Do you keep these outdoors all the time?
No, I only brought it outside to film it. They are mostly indoors except for a couple of months in the greenhouse. I no longer live in that house so my conditions are not nearly as good for it .
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas oh I see... ok
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas it’s beautiful! That’s my favorite Hoya
Is that native in the Philippines? Watching from toronto,Canada 🇨🇦
Yes, it is a native of the Philippines.
