No, I only have a one bedroom apartment. I am just very organized. I have shelves, cabinets, and grow tents. 😄 But most of them are small, they really don't take up much space.
Loved all the hoyas you showed! I don’t have enough room for more hoyas, so will just have to admire other people’s collections. Can’t wait to see more!
@@betsybegonia It really does, it looks great- I've got super curly hair, too, so I totally understand where you're coming from. I actually just do mine myself now 😬
Oh the Hoya lacunosa ‘Black Queen’ is stunning!! Maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to add it to my collection. I'll most likely have to wait a long time before that happens though. lol
OMG, that H. yvesrocheri is amazing! I think my Hoya interests lie in admiring all of the different shapes. I have a few that I actually got for flowers (easy to flower, and pretty ones that can manage living or thriving in my home), but I have started getting really intreagued by all the different shapes. I love that I have H. serpens, kentiana, linearis, sp. af Burtoni, and then Fungi and Carnosa as my sort of “typical hoya” . But, life means I can only have those that will thrive in my regular home conditions, so not sure if I could even consider that gorgeous H. yvesrocheri or the equally stunning Hoya platycaulis which I am also drooling over.
I only have two Hoyas right now. I have a Hoya wayetii and a Hoya chelsea. The hoya chelsea was the hoya that actually pushed me to order plants online. My local place doesnt have many choices. But i shop all my supplies there! And I have a Hoya wayetii that is special in part because I purchased it from Harli G, and for some reason, I just really enjoy looking at it, checking on it. It inspired me on mixing my own soil. I'm very new to keeping houseplants. And I'm really loving the inspiration that it gives me despite it being so plain. I don't find it particularly beautiful or interesting but something about it makes me want to do and be better. Lol It sounds weird typing it all out, but I really do love the little cutie.
Also I went to school for botany. And among many other things over those four years, I really felt burnt by the world and by the way I had to push myself to the brink in some courses to get through. 2016 in the USA was the middle of my college experience which may help for some context. It just felt like everything I wanted and was ready to do for the world, our country was rejecting. So the little wayetii inspiring me, also means so much more because it's reminding me what I adore about plants and pollinators. Not to put to much pressure on it or myself, but I feel like it's reminding me of my purpose and my love for science and plant life. And that is a gift that I cherish so deeply that I can't even put it into words
Hi Betsy! Those are all nice hoyas, but my favorites are the Hoya lacunosa ‘Black Queen’ and the Hoya yvesrocheri. I think your hair looks cute, but understand getting a haircut by someone who doesn't know how to cut curly hair. I hope you can find out where your hairdresser went so you can go to him again. I'm looking forward to hearing why you chose to pot uo all of your hoyas in pon, and a comparison on pon vs LECA, etc. Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh my! The platycaulis and yvesrocheri are both on my list since 3 years! But that lacunosa "Black Queen" really got me! How incredibly beautiful is this art work of nature! Hail to the unknown pollinator! Unfortunately I don't have much luck with lacunosas and krohnianas. Highly appreciate all the information you and Miro are providing in your also very entertaining videos! Thank you! My most beloved (but not rare) Hoya is in fact the one you've listed as "not your cup": the retusa. She grows so well and the growth pattern is a pure joy to me. Have a nice day and thanks again for this great video.
@@betsybegonia to me, they look more “special” when there are only a few vines in a pot and not so bushy and “overwhelmingly complex”. I think you know what I want to express.
Beautiful varieties Hoya you have there! (Tip) I put a little hole in the top of my nursery pot and tie string to it so I don't risk damaging the plant when I take it out of the decorative pot.
Hoya platycaulis and Hoya yvesrocheri just bumped most of my wish list down a couple spots 😅 I think they’re both beautiful, and their unique qualities just put them over the top
also, re: h. Krohniana 'Black Leaves' having dark green not black leaves, i've found that the brighter the light you grow this hoya in, the darker the leaves. don't know that they'd get as black as the Lacunosa 'Black Queen' without seeing it in person (*grabby hannddds*), but might be something to experiment with! my 'Black Leaves' has pretty black leaves. love it so muchhh
This was so incredible. I absolutely loved them all. I think atm the one Hoya that just completely captured my heart is my Hoya rangsan. Mainly because it’s the newest in my collection 😅
Another super informative video! Thank you, Betsy! I was wondering, is it possible for an h. Silver Lady Dyi to revert? And if so, is it just a matter of light or genetics? 😊
It's been nice to see some different hoyas. Carnt wait to see them grown. I have hushkliniana verigarta and unfortunalty the plant I bought died. Bough a few cutting half have died but luckily are 're rooting after root rot. X
H. Platycaulis is high on my wishlist! Super excited to see it in your video 😊 I've only found it once and sadly not at an affordable price. I hope you can share updates on it as it grows!
Oh wow 🤩 these Hoyas are just gorgeous, I personally love the long leaf Hoyas or funky Hoyas- I have this one that looks like your Hoya platyaulis. it is long leaf and think leaf, the pubescent is a Carmel cream color that fades into a semi bright green.
Love all your new Hoyas! Adding lacunosa black queen to my wishlist! And i love the blooms on the Hoya yvesrocheri! I neeedd!! I have a Hoya. Chiang dao and its my fav. I dont know anyone that has one.(:
I LOVE the hoya yvesrocheri! I too could live without the retusa and the like, but this little gem has my heart! I must get my hands on one, some day. .... quick question. Do you have a burmanica? I am in love with her too however when I go to shop for one it seems all the pics are slightly different as well as prices ranging from well over 100 to as low as 60 USD and I become paranoid that I'm going to get scammed! UGh. I would love some advice on shopping for rare hoyas online. (p.s. I live in Illinois USA) What prices are "normal" ?and why some look so different from others? Could it be simple camera angle? hmmm. Any-hoo, you are amazing, I love ALL your jokes. You bring a smile to my face and your hoya collection as well as knowledge just blows me away! xoxo
The platycaulis looks so neat! It seems strappy and the pattern on the front looks like a snake trail. Love it! The yvesrocheri is hard for me to love. This is kinda gross but the leaves remind me of nail clippings. Lol. Thank you so much for the background on these hoyas! It's super interesting.
The hair looks great! Enjoyed the video. It makes me want to buy more Hoya, thank you very much. Just a starting collector of around 35 mainstream Hoyas. I do have about 150 plants now. I remember you mentioning you had 200 hoya, wow!. You must have more total with other plants. I'm curious about how you keep track of watering and or fertilizing. Do you use an app?
I didn’t think I could love you any more, but when you mentioned Salad Fingers, I was proven wrong. And yes, since you mentioned it, I can’t unsee Salad Fingers in that Hoya 😂
These Hoyas are beautiful!! This video isn't helping the "don't be a plant hoarder" mantra I have tried to adopt this year..... deep breaths Kellie deep breaths. 💚💚
I love this video. The stories make it so so special. The thin leafed hoyas too often remind me of rhipsalis. Not that that is a bad thing. Just not a hoya. ❤🌱❤🌱
My thought exactly, who doesn't love a satsuma scented pine hoya?? Yvesrocheri on the other hand--- It just doesn't grow nicely for me, the meeeessiest grower
I love the look of H. versteegii. The beautifully undulated edges and the fluffiness in combination with plain green is really unique. Something for my wish list 🥰
Unrelated to the video but can you please do a nose update? I am 4 months post op and my nostrils are completely uneven in size and height and one has a similar indent that you had. It does look like your nostril indent has diminished. Can you advise on what you did to help with asymmetry? I’m freaking out that my nose will be like this permanently but hoping I don’t have to get a revision. Thank you!!
Everything I say in my 6 month update video is exactly the same. Nothing has changed. I massage it every day, it continues to heal. It takes 1-2 years for a nose to heal.
@@betsybegonia I mean, one less rabbit hole for me to go down to. It is a mine field here anyway 😂 I am not sure what I did. But I feel like I must have been a good man because I feel like it is a reward. 😂
Love(!) the hair. I find yvesrocheri impossible to grow so far. It will only stand in a bag…, and who wants a plant in a bag for months and years? 🙄 I want to add platycaulis to my collection again for sure.
Interesting, the woman I bought it from has a big plant and she doesn't even have a humidifier. Mine is going okay, I wish it would grow a little faster though. 😄

The MIRAL Hoyas were collected by a couple for their private collection and not for reasons of sale and profit. I do not know what their vocations were, for all I know they may have been studying the plants much like Simonnson and Rodda. The MIRAL collection did not become available for sale until the couple was obligated to liquidate their private collection (for reasons unknown to me) and Edyta from HoyaPassion purchased the lot. She began selling cuttings from the Hoyas and this is how they've entered circulation.
Nope, it is not. It is pronounced "ee" and not "ee-eye". This is easily researchable. Here's one link for you: www.jlhudsonseeds.net/Pronunciation.htm#:~:text=The%20%22ii%22%20at%20the%20end,%22%2C%20not%20%22eye%22.
To be clear, this is because 'i' sounds like "ee" in Latin, and it wouldn't make sense to alter the pronunciation of the same letter when two appear in a row.
❤️Hm I like that crazy thin leave hoya you have . Me don’t like those thin leave you mention either. Hm my friend just show me a sale post on eBay (Australia) just now about hoya lady silver for 1,500 Australian dollar. I have never heard of that one hahaha then we get to your bit about it. Heaps of rare imports turn up here recently with stupid prices. I think there are a lot of illegal imports going on now. The silver lining is people can’t no longer gate keeping with the flood of those imports. She’s also have a philodendron whipple way for sale for $2,160.00 hahaha just happen to have those 2 hahaha we are near China so yeh if people hide them in their luggage …My people Vietnamese do it all tbt time with food and exotic stuffs include drugs. Well lots get caught. Not all hehehe
@@betsybegonia hahaha yeh. Sunrise is at least $150 for small plants, eliptica is 200-500, Kalimantan 200-500, gunung Garding 500, Bella variegated 500-800. Stupid prices in Australia Hahaha New Zealand prices are even worse . Anyway the market is flooded with hoya here. Price has fallen and continue to fall I say. Nothing really tasty just a lot of same same flower rare hoya

How wonderful to hear the stories of your hoya. Really pleasant.
I am so curious, where in the hell do you keep all of these Hoyas? You must have a huge space that you’ve never filmed? I would love to see!
No, I only have a one bedroom apartment. I am just very organized. I have shelves, cabinets, and grow tents. 😄 But most of them are small, they really don't take up much space.
Those hoyas are so beautiful. Love hearing the history.
Thank you for watching, Sheila. 🙂💚

Oh the Hoya lacunosa ‘Black Queen’ is stunning!! Maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to add it to my collection. I'll most likely have to wait a long time before that happens though. lol
It is way cool, I was lucky to nab it while she had a cutting available.
@@betsybegonia Personally, I'm not a big fan of the lacunosa black leaves but this one is so beautiful!
@@samias_jungle I like the sheen. It's not the usual shine that you see on a glabrous lacunosa due to the texture. It's quite unique.
@@betsybegonia that is awesome black. Here they have quasi black krohniana for about $300. The silver ones are cheaper
Such a fun video! I love seeing all these rare Hoyas. I really enjoy that you give so much information about the plants.
