I love the way your Hoya Elliptica grows. It is stunning. I’ve tried it 3 times and everytime I killed it . The other ones you showed in this video are also very beautiful . I like your video’s a lot.
Thanks. I struggled with H elliptica for a bit, and thought I was going to lose it. Self-watering and lower light really seemed to help. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
I was a bit disappointed when I first got mine. The "turtle" pattern was faded looking. But with time and indirect light, the pattern as become clearer and the overall color darker green. My propped cutting is getting established and sits in higher light. It's significantly paler in color and pattern. Just like he mentioned, gentle light does it good.
I got an Elliptica cutting in July with a peduncle. It's probably been one of my fastest growing hoyas from a cutting, but man, it's been the trickiest when it comes to blooming. It has blasted it's buds every single time. I have never had such trouble blooming a hoya.
Same. My elliptica has grown by leaps and bounds and I've propagated it. It puts out peduncles and maybe four flowers out of fifteen buds will actually open. And they don't last long. Most turn brown and drop before opening. Maybe it needs to mature. 🤷🏼♀️
@@laurachapin204 Me too, but I find it super annoying to get buds and then have them fall off before they bloom. I get excited when I see them start to bud up. I guess, I just won't get excited with Elliptica and there won't be any disappointment LOL
I hadn't heard of that mix, but I like the idea of it. I'm not a big perlite fan - the dust is cancinogenic and it breaks down too easily - but pumice I like. Thanks for watching and sharing your mix.
Hello, happy Fri-Yay! Love your hoyas ! I have 2 of the hoyas you shared . The elliptica and the parviflora. The elliptica was dropping leaves left and right so I put her in a perlite and fuval mix to root. She looks like she is bouncing back. The parviflora is in a chunky soilless mix I use for most of my plants. I believe she is working on her roots since they were almost none when I repotted her into my mix. She has only lost a couple of leaves, so she will stay in my mix for now. Thank you for sharing you pot hack !
Thanks. Your H elliptica may also appreciate slightly lower light, at least mine did. Good luck with the H elliptica and H parviflora, and thanks for watching.
Ugh! Why do I watch your channel?? My "must have" list grows every time!! We have the same taste in Hoya. I really like the prehistoric, trashy leaves. I try to keep my hoya in self watering pon. It makes it so much easier for my husband to water them when I'm on vacation. :)
We all have ever-growing wish lists, join the club. Self-watering is such a help, and how nice your husband covers for you when you travel. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Peckham's is such a surprise - it doesn't look like much from the parking area, but those greenhouses just go on and on, and the plants all look great. Have you been to Logee's? Thanks for watching and commenting.
I just started growing hoya. My oldest I've had for maybe a year. I used to grow them in Bonsai Jacks gritty mix. I am an under waterer and killed that one. I began adding coco coir to the mix and that helped. For the last several moths I've used coco coir, coco chunks and perlite. They seem to be doing really well in it. I've only just begun using pon for some of my plants. But the having to take off all the soil makes it scary. Thanks for your channel, I do enjoy your talks.
Yup, cleaning off the roots for the transfer to pon is scary the first couple of times, and sometimes a Hoya doesn't make it. Sounds like you've found an organic mix that works for you as well, so now you have two options for your Hoyas. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Most of mine are in coco husk with slow release fertilizer only but some are in coco husk with chunky perlite, charcoal, and the slow release. I loved all of these 🖤
Thanks for a great video! You have beautiful plants. I grow all my plants self watering in leca with a wick and reservoir. I haven't tried pon, but I would like to. It's just that everything I have is in leca, and I haven't yet invested in anything else.
Kia Oro, New Zealand. I've just started using tree fern, and I'm rather liking it. Too bad it's so expensive here. Thanks for watching and sharing your mix.
I always enjoy your videos & this one was no exception. It’s been a great start to my day👍👍 I am presently moving my hoyas into Pon. I’ve never really used Pon before so I was extremely hesitant. It seemed really unnatural to me but after loosing a couple to root rot I thought I would give it a go. I’m fairly new to hoyas, I’ve only ever grown the carsonosa or Bella varieties & now discovering all these different varieties it’s like a wonderland 🍸🍸 Cheers from NZ🇳🇿
Kia Ora, New Zealand! I know what you mean about moving to pon and how "unnatural" it seems. Just take the transfer slowly and only do a few until it feels less "unnatural". Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.
Hi! I lm loving on that patcharawalai! New one for my wish list! I have a nummeraloides cutting doing well and I think it's so pretty! I love the shade of green and it's light velvety texture! I started out in 2018 with the basic UA-camr mix - orchid bark, soil, perlite, coco coir, charcoal but after dealing with pesky fungus gnats and root rot, I switched to leca and use clear glass vases from Dollar tree. Recently I put some of my older hoyas in coco coir, coco husks and chunky perlite. (I don't like fluval stratum.) I'm testing them to see if they would bloom. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to your next! Dee, NY
I'd wanted an H patacharwalai for a long time and I'm glad I finally found a good one. Yes, finding the right substrate for how one likes to grow is a bit of a process, but the results can be so rewarding. Thanks, as always, for watching and sharing your substrate journey.
I'm pretty sure Patcharawalai and Icensis are the same plant. Be prepared, the leaves seems to be getting large on mine. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your newbies.
I have a hoya black cat. Planted it in "Sybasoil" soil for Hoyas, but growth seemed to stagnate. Then I got a major fungus gnat infestation, so all my plants were moved to "Lechuza Pon" wether they like it or not. Hoya loved it, started sprouting leaves and stuff!
L pon also contains slow release fertiizer so most plants love that initial boost of nutrients. There's a belief that Hoyas are light feeders, but I find they really appreciate, and do better with, regular feeding. Thanks for watching and sharing your eperience.
Oh I have so done that, several times. Overcome with a sudden "oh I need one of those moments" and pause the video, pull out the phone, and "presto" there's a Hoya on the way... Thanks for watching.
Iowa City, so you know about winter, too. I'll be back in the Hoya Room. It's not as roomy as "The Conservatory" but during a New England winter the Hoya Room is "sunny" and 74°F. It's starting to get a bit "nippy" here, so it'll soon be time for the great plant migration. Thanks for watching and sharing your substrate mix.
My nummalariodes just put out 6 peduncles this week, and it's about 1/10 the size of yours- I was in shock to see them when the plant is still so tiny! My hoyas are in a barky chunky mix with perlite.
Hey friend! I have Collina, waiting on Elliptica in a recent haul. I like that Caudata gold. I have struggled with Caudata but I have two rehabs that I am pleased to say they're coming back!
Hi, Mona. H caudata doesn't seem to be very succulent at all - it doesn't store much, if any, moisture - but it loves access to it. I'm not sure the substrate matters, but self-watering is good for H caudata. Thanks, as always, for watching and commenting.
You pronounced the German names pretty well! As for substrates, I always put a layer of leca (or a no name equivalent) on the bottom (I'm an overwaterer, so the leca layer serves almost as a reservoir). then the substrate-a mix of minerals (lava, zeolith, pummes, whatever I have on hand), perlite and organics-cocos chips and/or cocos faser plus whatever substrate the hoya came with.Yes, I use that, too, the roots are always damaged/stressed from repotting, so the old mix is something familiar for them to ease the pain.. If I want to be fancy I also add charcoal and vermiculite in small amounts. I don't like to limit myself with only mineral/organic mix, because I like to mess around with the nutrients and use several different ones (on rotation, not at the same time, obviously). Plus I dislike having to repot too often, so I tend to give my plants (all of them, not only the hoyas) bigger pots. A strictly mineral substrate would be way too heavy to lug around, or use in a hanging planter. So far no complaints, all my hoyas bar one are happy and thriving, and the one that didn't make it got overwatered. Wonder who did that...🤔
Thanks. I practiced that German title a few times. I, too, tend to start with slightly larger pots, especially the self-watering ones. The fewer times I have to repot my Hoyas the better. Thanks for watching and sharing your substrates.
I do the same. Sometime I don't want to risk transferring the plant to pon, so it stays in the type it came in. Thanks for watching and adding your substrate.
I love my elliptica. Such a fast grower. And I heartily agree on lower light for elliptica. Just got a Collina IR26 in the mail last week and it's got a lovely subtle splash pattern with its new leaves blushed red. I can't wait to see it grow. Patcharawalai/Icensis 023 is on my wish list. The listings on Etsy show some varied forms some of which I would disagree on identity. I'm a sucker for dark borders on an otherwise unpretentious shapely leaf. I'm following April Mall's approach and using coconut husk chunks with some thirstier plants getting some ground coconut coir added. I'm experimenting with a new fertilizer as I don't think mine is doing well with the husk.
I think I need to give my H collina a bit less light, 'cause there should be a bit of splash and I'm not sure about the sun-stress. I've noticed that some of my organic mixes seem to dry out faster than pon, so I need to keep an eye on them. Thanks for watching and sharing your substrates.
I propagate in sphagnum moss but I use a chunky airy mix. Coco coir, coco chunks, grade 3 perlite and tree fern fiber. Can’t tell you the ratio, I go by the look. I also water with mycorrhizae granules every other watering to strengthen the roots. I use it on all my plants especially newly rooted cuttings. I think you can use it with inorganic substrates but I’m not sure.
"Chunky" and "airy" are the keywords. When I'm making my organic mix I also go by the look, and mine sounds pretty much like yours. Thanks for watching and sharing your growing mix.
😂 i hope they don't find out about the 15mins. My area is hot and sunny and i grow in reg bark and perlite which works for me. Great video as always. 😊🇯🇲
I'm growing my hoya in regular potting soil. Its been in this pot for over a year now, and i think the soil has gone hydrophobic. I grow orchids and Christmas cactus, so I have much looser soils and mixes I can try (and I will). This hoya has bloomed for me, but I think it will do better in a looser more "jungle-y soil"type mix.
Your Hoya, orchids, and Schlumbergera are all epiphytes, so they're going to enjoy similar substrates - with some adjustments. My Hoyas in organic substrate seem to prefer more "airy" and "chunky" and less "soily". Thanks for watching and sharing your eperience.
@@PlantedInRI I pricked up some perlite, vermiculite and coir, so I'm going toe try a mix more like you'd find on the jungle floor, or caught in the crotch of a tree. I expect the lighter mix to make the pots easier to handle too.
Of course. I found it on Amazon. There's a standard style and a hanging style, and a few different sizes and colors. Here's a link to my Amazon storefront showing both of them: www.amazon.com/shop/plantedinri/list/3V719EH4AOVHY?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d Thanks for watching.
That is so strange.... I was under the impression that collina IR-26 has splash by default - and the one I have (also the IR-26) doesn't really look like yours, at all....
I know. Some of the original leaves have splash, but it's growing under very strong light, too much light probably, since it has a lot of sun-stress and very little splash. When I repot and re-trellis it'll get moved to lower light, and with luck, the splash and darker leaf color will return. Lots of things can effect leaf appearance, and light is one of them. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Interesting. What do you use for your Euphorbia? Mine don't seem to like what I've got them in, mostly coir with some fine bark and pumice. Thanks for watching and sharing your substrate.
hoya collina (biakensis) and IR26 are different. Biak doesn't sunstress and is much more succulent. It's funny I kept trading collina hoyas and ended up with 3 different ones. IR26, NOID and the Biak. I like IR26 the best.
Oh no, more Hoyas to investigate. Doug Chamberlain seems to think that they're all the same plant - H biakensis and H collina. And we know that different clones can look very different. Time for me to do some more research. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with your H collinas.

cudne hoje 😍 Mam parviflorę, jest bezproblemowa i piękna.
Zgadzam się z Tobą w sprawie H parviflora. Dzięki za oglądanie.
Ya know, if you think about it, eliptica really is unique. I haven't seen a pattern like it on another hoya. It's just recently caught my eye.
I was a bit disappointed when I first got mine. The "turtle" pattern was faded looking. But with time and indirect light, the pattern as become clearer and the overall color darker green. My propped cutting is getting established and sits in higher light. It's significantly paler in color and pattern. Just like he mentioned, gentle light does it good.
I had the same experience with the "faded" pattern. Gentle light and good food does H elliptica good. Thanks for adding to the conversation.
I agree, the leaf pattern is pretty cool. Thanks for watching and commenting.

When I repot and re-trellis it'll get moved to lower light, and with luck, the splash and darker leaf color will return. Lots of things can effect leaf appearance, and light is one of them. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Standard Chunky Aroid mix for everybody that is not Euphorbia or Alocasia.
Interesting. What do you use for your Euphorbia? Mine don't seem to like what I've got them in, mostly coir with some fine bark and pumice. Thanks for watching and sharing your substrate.
@@PlantedInRI Molly's Succulent Mix. I haven't killed one yet.
hoya collina (biakensis) and IR26 are different. Biak doesn't sunstress and is much more succulent. It's funny I kept trading collina hoyas and ended up with 3 different ones. IR26, NOID and the Biak. I like IR26 the best.
Oh no, more Hoyas to investigate. Doug Chamberlain seems to think that they're all the same plant - H biakensis and H collina. And we know that different clones can look very different. Time for me to do some more research. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with your H collinas.
@@PlantedInRI yes, all collina but different clones. I have more research to do also. It gets confusing.
Swoje hoje uprawiam przeważnie w podłożu przepuszczalnym złożonym z perlitu, wermikulitu, gleby , keramzytu i chipsów kokosowych. Niewielka część znajduje sie w lechuza pon.
Dziękuję za obejrzenie i podzielenie się przepisem na podłoże.
