Hoya Flower Talk! | Peduncles vs Growth? Smell? Easy Bloomers?

- Hey guysss! Today we're talking flowers! I used to get confused about a lot of the things discussed in this video when I first started growing Hoya! I have had my Hoyas for about a year or less and have been able to get lots of them to flower! My flowers typically last a week, sometimes more, and it totally depends on the plant. I wanted to show y'all my flowers before they closed! I no longer really think Hoya flowering is based on maturity, I really strongly believe it's just how you treat them. Cuttings can even flower! Hoyas are totally cool because of how random and unpredictable they can be with blooming. I hope y'all enjoyed! This was a really fun video to make! Thank you so so much for watching!

*smelling intensifies* take a shot every time I say cinnamon. Lol. I liked filming this a lot I hope you guys liked it just as much!! Let me know if you have an hoya flower questions I know I had a ton when I first started. I have a hoya care video where I talk about exactly what I do and what others recommend here! Love y’all 💚 ua-cam.com/video/V-Zr34Hu0IA/v-deo.html
Hi Lessya , lacunosa smells exactly like Night Blooming Jasmine - Cestrum nocturnum to me. You can get the green Jasminum nocturnum at Houston Garden Center. Jasminum noctirnum is know as Dama de Noche in the Philippines and other Hispanic countries. And shepherdii smells like Lilacs to me - heavy old lady perfume.
Harley Quinn Oh interesting!!! Thank you! 💚💚💚 Now I need to sniff one of those to compare 😂💚
My Hoya Linearis only smell at night and it smells like lemony vanilla-y goodness, it is legit the best smell I have EVER experienced, I so wish they made perfumes of it 😍
Oh, wow. I had a hoya carnosa for years and years. It would put out so many blooms. I never knew what they really smelled like, but, now that you mention it...tootsie rolls 😂😂😂 that is soo accurate! You're so cute 😚
You are SO right about the Tootsie Roll smell. Mine just started to bloom today and I thought, "It smells like chocolate!...but not exactly. 🤔" Hit the nail on the head!
Yaaaaaas!!! Hoya blooms!!!!✨☕️ loved hearing about how they smell. Here👏🏼for👏🏼it.
My Hoya memoria just bloomed in my kitchen and it smells like caramel :D makes me crave dessert ;)
Wow~
Hoya flower is beautiful
You are so cute! I hope mines will bloom one day. The flowers are so stunning! 🌸
Juli Rossano thank you!! Sending you hoya luck! 🥰💚
From what I understand from what others say, these Hoya smell more at night when they open up. But during the day the scent isn’t as strong. I cannot speak from experience though because I just bought my first Hoya and I got an Obovata. I found a wonderful seller on;one from California and the plants are very reasonably priced and huge!
I have almost 30 types of Hoya (all acquired within 7 months) and haven’t experienced a bloom yet. Fingers crossed it’ll happen soon!!!
Love your energy!! ❤️ And of course your hoyaaaaas!
My mom actually is lowkey annoyed when her carnosa flowers, my parents both don't like strong smells. I, on the other hand CAN'T WAIT for my cutting from her plant to bloom! It's making its first peduncles as we speak! 🌱👃
Green Tape Ahhh yay!!! Carnosa flowers are one of my favorites for sure 💚💚💚
My mum cut the peduncles off of our old giant carnosa because she said it stinks and the nectar is dripping everywhere. 😅I kinda like the the flowers. I licked the nectar off of them when I was a child.😊
@@mathilda6763 Now that's just a sin 😐
To Mathilde 6763, some people insert the blooms inside baggies so that the nectar will drip inside and not damage furniture
A very nice full collection of beautiful hoyas. Enjoy
Scents definitely are perceived differently by different people. A person here on youtube claimed their Carnosa smelled like rotten Salami, but I do not agree at all. It is a heavy, sweet smell which can get a bit overpowering sometimes, but lovely nontheless. Nothing like chocolate, though 👀
The Heuschkeliana smells like caramel. It really does.
This is a great video idea 👍 I wondered what the different Hoya flowers smelled like too! I'm a new plant Mom and have fallen in love with Hoya's 😍 I just ordered a Lacunosa on Etsy an hour ago and I have a Krinkle 8, Obovata Splash, Australis Ssp. Australis Brookfield on the way in the mail and I bought a Wayetii at a nursery yesterday 😁👍👍👍
LilStampBug Thank you!!! Those are great buys! 🥰💚
Can’t wait for my hoyas to start flowering!! Just noticed a peduncle on my callistophylla and one on my multiflora
Ahhh yay!! I heard multiflora blooms never stop! Congrats!!! 💚
Love this! Was trying to figure out the smell of my obovata and the conclusion was generic bouquet smell lol, maybe Lily.
Little Leaf SF Obovata blooms are so pretty! Thank you for watching! 🥰
I've never heard H lacunosa smell described as cinnamon before. Hoping I will be able to get one one day and check for myself
It must be a boy nose thing !! Lol I think it smells like lilies too !! I love this video 💕
My Sherpardii smells like honeysuckle!
Ok, I'm totally with you about the lacunosa. I have NO idea where the cinnamon thing came from. It does smell very floral. It reminds me of lilacs or lilies, but softer. And it's not a guy thing, because my husband said the same thing.
That’s amazing you have so many Hoya that flowered . ❤️❤️❤️ I am just recently into wax flowers . I have Australis which is native here. Hopefully will see them bloom at some stages.
wow hoya flower beautiful 😊
I have a regular Hoya Carnosa but the flowers are white colour and it have a very light sweet smell. My Hoya Rosita flower smell like a over fermented bread dough and my Hoya Publicalyx Red Button flower smell a bit like Lily
You had mentioned making them bloom. How do you do that? Special fertilizer or additives?
Also, differences in what one person smells compared to what another person smells may have to do with their genes. I do a lot of genealogy and there are several things I've learned about our biological inheritances and that is one of that really stood out to me.
Jean Gaissert oh cool!! I have my care video here I dont do anything special 😄 ua-cam.com/video/V-Zr34Hu0IA/v-deo.html
My grandma's hoya carnosas had often abundance of flowers. She gave quite often fertilizer with a high phosphorous content.
That kerrii bloom is a beauty, actually all of them are beauties and can’t wait for the day that I get a bloom on one of my hoyas.
Cheryl Breedlove Thank you so much!! Hopefully some bloom for you some time soon! 🥰🥰❤️❤️
I got my first Hoya bloom this week on my hoya bella! I loved the idea of this video! I've always wondered how other flowers smell
Natalie Crews I love bella blooms!! I cant wait for my peduncles to open 😭💚
Hoya australis smells the sweetest in my opinion
my flower smelled like caramel or burnt sugar, I have heard that depending on growth conditions they would smell different
Great video! Keep up the good work!
Most H. carnosas smell to me like baby chicken feed or mash that we used to feed the chicks back on the farm. It has molasses in it so maybe that is part of the smell.
Some other nice smelling ones you can try for are H. verticulata or acuta, H. serpens, H. obscura, (smells like fruit loops). H. subclava is said to smell like grape juice, but I could never keep one alive long enough to flower.
Lovely video wish they invent smell-a-vision lol you might wsnt to get a few flowers i luce in IN snd have to bring in my containers to over winter. It is so exciting when your rose blooms or your cana lily blooms for christmas. Nothing like joliday cactus blooming for you as well
Maybe the smell has something to do with the soil it's growing in (shrug shoulders)
My carnosa smells sweet and nektary, it also produces a lot of nectar. All my Hoyas smell more in the evening!
Sina S. Yes! My carnosa smells so great at night!
I also can‘t tell a sent of cinamon on my lacunosa😂🤷♀️😅. It just smells flowery, maybe a hint of honey, but I can‘t check right now, her last flower just fell off!
I love the hoya Australis scent
Lessya, what are your favorite places to buy Hoyas in Houston? Thanks!
uggggghhhh.. you made me want a tootsie roll so badly! Thanks for this! I've wondering and wondering and wondering exactly what a peduncle would look like! I just keep looking and looking at my Hoya's and just assumed it's the middle finger (love that description! I mean, i don't want my plant flippin' me off but somehow I won't forget it!) 😂 I have no flowers yet so I can't wait! Love the bloops!
Plant Sinner Hahaha yay!! Thank you!! Hopefully you get some flowers soon 🥰💚
I've been looking all over for the answer to this question. How can I get my Hoya's to have more pink on there leaves?
More sun! But go slowly because most will burn in direct afternoon light. Filtered but bright afternoon light or direct morning light is usually best but you have to go a bit slow to get them used to it :)
Wow very beautiful your hoya flower i love it you are good to maintenance thank you
My shepherdii is in bloom now and it smells like old lady perfume to me. It fills my whole room at night! It has soooo many peduncles! Also was wondering if you had any advice for when the flowers are going to bloom and they all fall off
Fenner Lamm Yay!! For peduncles falling you really just have to watch the water level usually if you let your hoya dry out too much the blooms will blast 🥺💚
i like hoya flowers 👍
Wow! It’s awesome how many Hoyas are flowering for you!! I’m super into Hoya foliage but now that I’ve had some flower I wanna see all of them flower 😆💕
Ps the Hoya mathilde flowers scent is a bit like sunblock smell to me idk if that makes sense LOL 🤣🤷🏻♀️
Vicks and Roses! 1000% and I have another one that smells like gardenias🤪
I always thought tootsie roll was chocolate flavored taffy 😂
As someone with almost no sense of smell (I'm talking like 95% of the time I can't smell anything) it absolutely hilarious to see people he really worked up on what things smell like
I'm like "bro what. Powedery???"
My bf will sometimes just be like "this smells like milk" and im like "milk has a smell????"
Late reply but out of curiosity did COVID cause the condition?
@@marisakirisame2366 no i haven't caught COVID, luckily. I've had no sense of smell since I was a kid. I broke my nose at 3 and over the years lost more and more. I actually remember the last time I smelt lilacs fondly
Meanwhile I have the nose of a bloodhound and I hate it!
Can I use artificial light to try to get my hoya to bloom? My house has no north or south windows. Only east and west. I live in Eastern Washington (the state) and this time of year it us usually overcast every day. I have one Hoya near an east facing sliding door and the other is next to the west facing living room window. Because of the type of window treatment on the slider (east side) it doesn't get quite as much light. I try to adjust the blinds as to get the most light. Can I just turn on the light in the room??
There's a plant on left against wall two shades of green, very large leaf. Is that a Hoya? Is so what's the name? TFS. Enjoyed!
Haha! For the longest time, I thought the lacunosa had a delicate floral scent & then I tried smelling it while thinking “cinnamon! Cinnamon! Cinnamon!” & now it smells like cinnamon to me & now I’m sad 🥺
Gisfor Gangsta lol!! Ive tried that and it doesnt work 😂
Lessya’s Leaves 🤣
Hoya Estrella waterfalls 1256
I have mine going all the time, but I have one plant that only gets pebuckle's and no flowers for months.
my hoya kerri spash flowered last month and had a very distinct old lady perfume smell haha
Would you suggest to keep Hoya outdoor to increase the chance to bloom? Cz I have 7 hoyas indoor but no bloom 😞 thank you!!
Best wishes from Canada
New friend here to stay
Excellent video
Stay connected
Stay safe stay blessed
My regular carnosa with splas, it dosn't smell good at all for me. My sister with the same plant and is pregnant cut of the pedunkles middle of the night, because she couldn't sleep because of the smell, although it was in the next room :O
Rikke Luveplants oh how strange!!! 😱
Lmfao at the end... ur silly 😜
ThePhoenixLair lol thank you 💚💚
Hoya Midorensis! Mine blooms constantly and the smell is nothing special, just floral but a very pretty floral
Lacunosa has never EVER smelled like cinammon to me EITHER!
Misslou2425 haha I’m glad we’re not alone 😂💚
My lacunosa had a normal floral smell. I didn’t know it was supposed to smell like cinnamon!
Haha yes!! People say to smell in the evening so maybe knowing the information might change your perception of it haha 💚
My first and only bloom I got was from my hoya rebecca and it smelled like lemons 😍 at least that's what my nose picked up 😂
On my wishlist
My hoya not blooming. What I need doo? Thank you!
How do you make them flower
Off topic but I was wondering if you could help me with my hoya kerri , it has black spots on it ! Any ideas?
Could be fungus or too much sun. These tend to burn really easy!
How long does the blooms last?
What Hoya is this?
I heard the sunrise smelled like peach
Mine didn't smell like that. It had a sweet floral scent but not too sweet, and I love it. I reminds me of a warm summer night breeze. At least that's how it makes me feel when I smell it. Lovely
What ingredients do you use?
I have a lots of hoyas and l haven't had any flowers
I have my card video here 😄 ua-cam.com/video/V-Zr34Hu0IA/v-deo.html
I agree 100% lacanosa are the best and easiest to bloom and they do not smell like cinnamon!!!!
Kati Z hahaha yes exactly!! 💚💚
What was the name of the Hoya with all the bloom stalkes
Marc Stewart The plants in order of the video is Krinkle 8, Kerrii Picta, Lacunosa, Shepherdii, Nummulariodes, Sp aff burtoniae 😄💚💚

Love them all . Even thoes that smell like poop 😂😂😂
You are so cute like flower!
Lan N Aww thank you!! 💚💚💚
Ummm how to describe “old lady smell”???!! For me it’s a very heavy, musky smell, like the old classic perfumes...Shalimar, Arpege, etc 🤥🌹
Hola, me encantaria, que hables en castellano. Me encanta la hoyas.

Plant Life In The Tropics LOL yes!
