Well hello, friends. Glad to be back filming in-between road construction noise! I'm a little hoarse in this video, but I save almost losing my voice for part 2 🤣 Do let me know if you have any of these plants!
Dave just love your videos 🐞you’re a natural your love for Hoyas are our Gain on the Hoya Train 😎. But my question is what is your best substrate and do I use it for all my Hoyas? Much appreciated because I’ve just gotten two new Hoyas a Merilli and a Loyceandrewsiana tree Sooo Beautiful 🤩 so I was hoping you could head me in the right direction. 👌🏽
@@Diane-ex1os I really only know what works best for me, and that's the very simple coco chips, coco coir, and #3 (super course) perlite. Other people love pop, but there are a lot of long-term growers moving away from that due to root issues. I have plenty of time to water, basically weekly, and in my home, this is what works well. So well that I have no inclination to change anything, only the formula. As in, thirsty Hoya get a bit more coco coir than others. Check out the coco chip in my description. Those are the ones that I really love. Very consistent product. Cheers from Iowa City
Yay! Great to see you 😊 Totally agree- I’ve never had an issue repotting a new plant and have most certainly saved many a big box plant by repotting immediately. 🤗 Looking forward to Saturday’s video!
Hi Dave, Thank you for another great Hoya video and for the excellent teaching moments. All these Hoyas are gorgeous! Re: Repotting - For me it depends on the soil mix they come in. My “repot or not” is a mix bag of plants and what the plant needs from what my home can provide. Here lately I have been repotting a lot of my Hoyas within a few days because in many cases they may be in a 4 inch pot at the nursery when I purchase them but it’s a very full 4 inch pot and the soil mix they are in is geared more towards the growers’ needs, etc. Also the point you made about finding that a few of your Hoyas did not have roots when you went to repot them is an excellent point. Something for all of us to think about and remember in our plant journeys. Well done! Take care . 👌🪴🥰
I'm delighted that you adore that one! I'm never sure that plants come off that great on camera, and I know that one looks better in person. But yes, smitten.
I absolutely agree about repotting new plants! I have to, because my plants will absolutely get root rot (or dry out way too quickly) if I don’t put them in my substrate. In doing this, I have also had the experience of finding new plants that had root rot and I was able to fix the problem before it got too bad.
❤ oooh I was just buying more hoyas then I saw your new video, my wishlist grew some more. Have you seen the Patchyclada Albo Marginata(can't wait for it's arrival) Seeing your Subquin New Moon, think you would really like the Madara & Madara 'Green Edge' beyond stunning! We may have you converted to variegated Hoyas yet! Fabulous video, keep going part 2 & hopefully part 3!
I am indeed smitten with my 'New Moon,' but are those Hoya you just mentioned priced somewhere in the millionaires club range? Are you trying to get me divorced??
I just rescued a Hoya from Home Depot and immediately repotted into better substrate- of course I tell it every day it better live 😂 Love your videos and won’t care if there is noise from the street so happy to see you back 🪴🪴
I have the Stargazer and am in Love with it. Not very big yet. Only has six leaves. It is happy outside in shade in Maine. I time my grow lights to coincide with sunrise and sunset throughout the seasons.
Nooooo, im on a plant ban. Way to ramp up my desire for plants. Thank you for sharing these fantastic hoyas. Have a good one & im looking forward to pt 2.
I feel like I have learned a lot watching various planty videos, but maybe sometimes ignorance is bliss. For many years, I transplanted plants pretty much immediately upon bringing them home and never thought a thing about it. If I lost any or they suffered ill effects, it was extremely rare. All of the advice, though, has made me more nervous, so I don't rush to do it unless they are unstable in their pots (tipping over), or I think there is an issue with the substrate. That said, in my heart of hearts, I've thought the same as you . . . might as well get all of the stress done with at once. As for the bank-breakers, I have both the inner and the outer variegated subquintuplinervis (subquintuplinervi?). I blame Miro. haha. I got them at fairly good prices and I'd put them both in my top 5. I have Hoya Calycina (not the Stargazer one, apparently). I don't think it was super happy with my trellising efforts (Fair.), so it's been slow to grow for me. But it's made some progress recently. And I re-trellised it for good measure. Hoya Elephant . . . yeah, I'm going to need that one. :)
What a great comment! Miro, I am sure, has busted a whole lot of budgets 🤣 I am genuinely curious how the whole "wait until..." thing came to be. I don't care how rare or expensive a plant it (maybe even especially IF it is rare), I pot it up. My record to date is: 100%. But boy have I uncovered some problems that I wouldn't have known about. Cheers from Iowa City
Nice Hoya. I always enjoy looking at new Hoya. My obsession are the flowering plants like Hoya, orchids, and cacti. I do like the leafy greens too, but I love flowers more. I also tend to repot sooner, if I have a planter available. Sometimes I do have to wait for said planter to arrive, so there is that... In my mind, part of the hobby is also pairing the plant to a unique planter... I think the idea of not repotting a plant soon after acquiring it must have come from sellers/nurseries (on Etsy or otherwise), for liabilities issues. If a plant sits and survives after 2 weeks or a month in a new environment with no change to its substrate, the seller is off the hook. I have seen a notice like that one of the shops.
I've seen that notice, too. But as you can imagine, I won't be told what to do 🤣 I have discovered quite a number of issues that I wouldn't have been aware of otherwise. As I mentioned, root mealies? Pretty dang glad I popped the lid on that plant.
Thanks Dave! I have Nong nooch from Schlief Tropicals; bought with 2 leaves, lost 1st baby leaf in my care, has added 3 more. Plachyclada albo, an old mother plant from Thirsty for Hoyas on Facebook, has put out 4 leaves in my care. These plants are side by side in an Ikea cabinet under T-5 Barrinas. Look forward to part 2.
@@soberplantguy thanks for this information, for me it was pon mixed with perlite in plastic cups. You do a different (but also excellent) setup so I don’t know, if you and Doug do the same or similar substrate it would make sense to follow that advice. Right now it’s in a self watering container (with a fabric wick) in a pon/lecca / perlite mix with one cutting held in reserve in case I kill it. It was propped in moss and took FOREVER to root into a different substrate. The leaves on the cutting I bought were very small, but the new ones coming in seem to be more like yours . Wish me luck!
Some new Hoya that I would like. Hmm how about all of them. I just finished part 2 before this one, both episodes were filled with good advice. Thanks Dave.
I can't even dream of that scenario (humidity) during our winters here. The humidifiers, yes plural 😁, certainly help. But once they turn off, it's back to the mid teens. We'll make it work, I'm sure. Or else 🙄
First thing I look at when I buy a plant ( other than the condition of the plant) is the soil/substrate, and access how it will do in my environment. Sometimes I'll repot it, sometimes I won't if the substrate looks good. Weather it be a windowsill, outside in my backyard, greenhouse, ect. If outside, weather is a definite factor, since I live in Florida where it can either be dry for weeks , or rain twice a day. Then I consider location ...AGAIN for optimum performance. Then I watch 🔍🧐👀👀👀 because I may not get it right the first or second, or even the third time.
I grew up in Sarasota, and this week in particular, I'm missing that gulf breeze 😅 Sounds like you have an excellent strategy. Because I'm in Iowa, my constant concern is always: how will this do over the course of our lonnngggg winter. I'd always prefer to err on the side of too chunky during the summer. I lost so many plants during my very first winter (and, somehow, didn't know about grow lights??)
@soberplantguy It's like living in the tropics down here now. Hot and humid all day. You MIGHT get a cool off point around 3-4a.m., but as soon as that sun hits in the morning 😩. During the rainy season , I have to keep tabs on the ones outside daily if they don't have adequate shielding from direct rainfall. Two or three consecutive days of rain and you'll notice leaves spotting and turning to mush. Especially on the thicker leaved ones, like obovata. Another reason why I love clay pots.
Thanks for explaining the pacylcadia type ...I find that type of information difficult to find to say the least. So lets redefine tropical because cool is what some of my little cuties from China want. Love the vangviengiensis!
Same, totally smitten with the 'New Moon,' so happy to have it! I'm not surprised that that's where you got to see the aff carnosa. It's so freaking cool in person!
Since watching Dave's channel I have started to also. I am confident that some of my new plants would not have done as well as they are now had I let them be.
Those bottoms are silicone, so you can just pop the plant out! On Amazon, search MIXC 24 Packs 4" Clear Nursery Pots with Silicone Base, and check the different colors. They *frequently* are 50% off, so don't you dare pay full price 🤣
Ah, yes. A friend of mine has one, though it hasn't done much of anything over the past year. It's pretty. But, to me, that's it. "It's nice." But, hey. To each his own 😁
I have a stunning H. Subquintuplinervis 'New Moon' that I got from UPT. I don't like to pick favorites, but it's probably one of my top faves. Though, if she doesn't throw out a vine pretty soon, mine is going to look more like a cabbage, than a Hoya 😂
@@soberplantguy It did take her a good 4 months to start putting out new leaves after I received her. So, I do believe she does everything in her own time. Haha! But now, she has put out so many leaves, like I said, she's starting to look kinda cabbage-like. Granted, the most beautiful cabbage you've ever seen! 🤣 Too bad UA-cam doesn't allow pictures. I'm sure it was hard for you to narrow it down to 10 hoyas for that video. I'm not sure I could pick just 10 and I probably only have about 60 mature hoya. I couldn't tell you how many babies (that's what I call my seedlings) I have right now.
I was guessing tam dao for the first one😅, I find my vang very difficult to grow, gives me smaller leaf but grows super fast, constantly puts out leaves and has so many baby peduncles. I repot them immediately too, I like to use substrate that I am familiar with that works for my environment. Plus I get to check on root health😁
Hey Dave. I wish I had a friend that owned a nursery! No wonder I couldn't guess the name of the sp. Aff Carnosa Viet Nam fpc 936. I have two H. Viet Nams and they don't resemble each other at all! I want the H. KSB 01. It's so pretty! It reminds me of a H. fuscomarginata. Many of these Etsy sellers don't always get it right (or youtubers). I threw out my mealie infected, 3rd time, h. Sunrise and 2 other hoyas had to be cut up so I deserve another slightly expensive hoya! Thanks for sharing! Dee, NY
I thought AH was for AH Hoyas nursery in Thailand. The owner's name is "AH". The KSB01 is cool but I've purchased other hoyas for their dark margin and they never get a dark margin in my home. I love the variegated subquintuplinervis but I have completely given up purchasing variegated hoyas. I find them to be more difficult and not worth the stress for me. I do really want one of the pachyclada 'Snow Lotus' though. I have vang and I think those shiny, deep green leaves are really lovely.
Is this a haul? 😂 Heushkeliana: sweetness of butterscotch but muffled with something a little “off” I still like its scent though, to me the sweet caramelly part overrules the other part of the scent I have a “normal” Hoya Calycina and it is just soooooo pettable, so soft and fuzzy 🤩 Also a Hoya Subquintuplinervis albo (same type as yours) and Vangviengensis That KSB 03 looks 🤩🤤 As for the repotting upon arrival….. I partially agree… I would feel safe repotting, I know my setup works…. But some people that I have been in contact with, have had plants die on them doing just that. I guess it depends on care and setup if it is a good idea (and maybe how finicky the plant is, like thick or thin roots, succulent or thin leaves, that sort of thing)
If I don't call it a haul, I don't have to admit that it's ... whatever you said 😁 I'm a look up that KSB 03, thank you! And butterscotch? Either my plant is off, or my nose, or both?
@@soberplantguy hahaha I see 😏 Scent is different to everyone But maybe there are other factors involved? (Temperature, humidity, fertiliser) who knows? My Hoya Carnosa (krimson princess) smelled like almond for one evening (the other days it was cacao) not sure if I heard anyone mention almond scent for that one before 😂 I meant your Hoya KSB, not sure where that “03” came from (so no need to look it up…. unless it was something pretty? 🤩 now Ill have to take a look, chasing the unknown 😂)
I think it's comes from the fact that after reporting some hoya will stop growing for a while or the tip of the vine dyes..so people think that by not let it acclimating that what's happened and then they will start stressing about it and may start over watering ext..so at the end of the day you need experience and knowledge in order to feel confident in what you're doing
Yeah I'm new to this game but I've had 90% success rate repotting into a substrate I understand. Maybe I could be more nimble by mastering more substrates, but I'm having success and happiness by relatively quick repots, before acclimatization
I always ALWAYS repot within the first couple of days of getting a new plant for exactly ALL the reasons you mentioned. It makes no logically sense to wait at all.
I can barely mask my contempt for that advice. One case of root mealies run wild would cure *anyone* of waiting for weeks or months to check repot the plant 🤣😂🤣

I woke up in the middle of the night and I’m watching this lovely video. ❤ now my wishlist has grown. 😅
Happy to help with that wish list. Part 2 might hurt a little bit .... 🤣
I love my hoya vangiengiensis!! Love the leaves, the feel of the leaf, and boy is it already growing! Good choice!! ;-)
Do you tend to keep it on the drier side? Doug suggested keeping it "as dry as you dare" 🤣😂🤣
Wow Dave, amazing plants one more beautiful than the other. I can not wait until they grow and you can share with us.
I feel the same!
Beautiful plants! The first one (carnosa) had me weak in the knees LOL Thank you for sharing your special collection with us.
I'm delighted that you adore that one! I'm never sure that plants come off that great on camera, and I know that one looks better in person. But yes, smitten.
So happy to see you back! I learn so much from you even how to spend money!😜 can’t wait till Saturday!

I partially agree…
I would feel safe repotting, I know my setup works….
But some people that I have been in contact with, have had plants die on them doing just that. I guess it depends on care and setup if it is a good idea (and maybe how finicky the plant is, like thick or thin roots, succulent or thin leaves, that sort of thing)
If I don't call it a haul, I don't have to admit that it's ... whatever you said 😁 I'm a look up that KSB 03, thank you! And butterscotch? Either my plant is off, or my nose, or both?
@@soberplantguy hahaha I see 😏
Scent is different to everyone
But maybe there are other factors involved? (Temperature, humidity, fertiliser) who knows?
My Hoya Carnosa (krimson princess) smelled like almond for one evening (the other days it was cacao) not sure if I heard anyone mention almond scent for that one before 😂
I meant your Hoya KSB, not sure where that “03” came from (so no need to look it up…. unless it was something pretty? 🤩 now Ill have to take a look, chasing the unknown 😂)
@@Wubblyt We just made up a new species 🤣
@@soberplantguy now, where do we get it? 🤣
I think it's comes from the fact that after reporting some hoya will stop growing for a while or the tip of the vine dyes..so people think that by not let it acclimating that what's happened and then they will start stressing about it and may start over watering ext..so at the end of the day you need experience and knowledge in order to feel confident in what you're doing
Well said: experience and knowledge. Then just trust the process.
Yeah I'm new to this game but I've had 90% success rate repotting into a substrate I understand. Maybe I could be more nimble by mastering more substrates, but I'm having success and happiness by relatively quick repots, before acclimatization
Great to hear! I'm at about a 100% success rate, so you're almost there 😁
I always ALWAYS repot within the first couple of days of getting a new plant for exactly ALL the reasons you mentioned. It makes no logically sense to wait at all.
I can barely mask my contempt for that advice. One case of root mealies run wild would cure *anyone* of waiting for weeks or months to check repot the plant 🤣😂🤣
@@soberplantguy Blows my mind completely.
Where do you get your lovely dragonfly trellis clips from, please?
Just on Amazon ... and they are a fraction of the price of butterflies, for whatever reason 😁
Nope, I guessed wrong
