LOL I know right. Way too many. Surprisingly they are doing quite well for me. Even the largest one I have had for over 40 years is not so big I can not move it when needed for care. And the rest are mostly a small size. am sick of hauling around huge plants for washing down when needed. I live right on the road and this house gets so dusty. This is why most of my plants are on rolling stands so I can just roll them into the bathrooms as needed. Thanks for watching!
@@shadesofidaho now THAT is super smart. Having them on larger rolling stands. Genius. Roll it right to the shower or outside. I don't know why I just have a fear of bringing hoyas in, and risking the pests they so commonly can get. What's been your experience? What pests have you had? How often? Do they wipe out many? Also I realize how rich that is coming from a calathea girl. 😂🤣
@@MakenzieHallie One time I had spider mites on one hoya . For some reasonn they did not spread to its neighbors. My biggest pest issue has been mealy bugs and after I repotted every one of them and washed and treated their roots as a just incase. They have not been that much of an issue. Also my friend gave me a spray bottle she made up of alcohol water a couple drops of dish soap and a couple drops of orange oil. I had to retreat two hoyas with that after my repot and one Rhipsalis and since then no more mealies. When every one was talking about Flat mites I treated for them just in case I had them. I never saw any under my microscope and I checked every hoya for them. I laughed out all alone sitting here in my living room at a Calathea gal worrying about hoyas getting pests. I do kind of wonder if keeping the majority of my hoyas in my master bathroom the extra humidity helps to keep the spider mites away. My biggest concern for treating plants is your dear little spiders. I know you keep them housed but if one got loose some treatments could be very dangerous to small critters.
Chris how do you do it? The amount of work with watering, cleaning, garden, mosaiics omg you are one busy lady. Your bathroom's a real Hoya Haven and all the plants look so healthy. It's a great video, and I'll be watching and waiting for the next one, thank you 💚
Thank you Musicalmarion. The plants have been doing pretty well lately except for the mealies. Little buggars. I will get them. I had them years ago but only on two plants. It was a nightly routine to check those plants over for new ones. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Everything looks amazing!!! Really enjoyed seeing all my favorite genuses :). I didn't realize how fabulous the Rhipsalis agudoensis (butchered that LOL) is!!! Tina gave me one too. I love the growth shape of that one after seeing yours....which I am now going to baby the heck out of that plant. I moved it to higher lighting since I had mine in lower lighting. I am starting to see the rounder shape now on mine and I want to keep that going. What an awesome looking plant!!!! I would say you are a Hoya head for sure :).
LOL You noticed I did not even try to pronounce many names of the Rhips and hoyas. I think it might have been a year since I started with Tina's "A" Rhipsalis baby and the hoya and silver dollar vine. All are doing well. It seems once a Rhipsalis starts taking off they grow like crazy for me. I do have most of mine in a south east window so they get super right light and full on early morning sun. Once in a while I pull the whole plant stand out and turn it around to expose the inside side of it to the window. That stand is pretty full now. I even sent another duplicate Rhipsalis off to a friend Thursday to make room for the Fire Sticks. I keep thinking if I had to do it all over again I think I would go with Hoyas and Rhipsalis/Jungle cactus and some vining philodendrons. I had my Monstera D in the give away room then found a place for it and now I a sorry I held it back. I am over it. Just too big.
@@shadesofidaho I like the idea of the Monstera deliciosa but then it grows and gets huge and I have big regrets LOL. My two are still small so I have some time :).
@@ThePinkTrellis So funny this popped up right now. I was just getting ready to get back into get it done mode. First on list was to take a deep look into my Monstera D. I was influenced to keep it but it is just not bringing me joy. I was even looking at small ones to buy and start over. Then I am going oops WHY when I can just chop mine down to start over saving money.. So I think that is what I am going to do. It is under planted with a lovely Philodendron Brazil that is giving half moon leaves and draping the pot so nicely. So snip snip chop chop coming up. I will see about rooting the cuttings to just give away.
Wow, Chris - everything looks beautiful! Your ingenuity always impresses...and your plants are obviously very happy! (Mealy bugs have been the scourge of 2024, btw, you're not alone in that battle.😫😫😫) Thanks for sharing your lovely home and gorgeous plants! 👏🏽🪴👏🏽💚
OH that is interesting others are also struggling with mealies. I now have a loaded spray bottle of mealy bug cocktail in every place I have plants. I think I am gaining on the problem. A friend told me about using a couple drops of Orange oil in the mixture can also help. So far so good.
Wow it all looks very nice. Your plants have sure grown girl 😂 looking great!

You and your hoyas. My arch nemesis. 😂😂🖤🖤
