hahah :D Oh I hope you are enjoying your Hoya collection. :) I am not surprised to hear that! I see in my analytics that I have older audience and I appreciate that so much
@@BasiePlants I live in USA or I would definately buy plants from you. So if you ever do ship let me know. I think I have watched all your videos more than once. You are informative and very entertaining.
@@puddentaine I live in AM where it is too cold to ship right now or I would have a huge increase in my collection. I am afraid to go to the big box stores and will have to wait until spring.
@@AngelaBernard-or9dg yes i stopped shipping them in recently. My last order was a holliana. Same seller I've been getting from. They are a three hour drive but since they are close I order on etsy from them. But last time the holliana showed up and it was cold. Its ok now but I'm not risking anything else till it warms up. Bedn sadly watching my saved plants on etsy getting sold. But there will be more later.
Thank you Miro, I love the process of investigative research for plants. When we dig deep we usually find what we need to know to give our plants what they need from their native origins.
Hahaha :D Oh I love getting lost in these old herbarium sheets and reading where these plants have been discovered and then looking them up on google maps and trying to find photos from the location :D It's pretty cool :) Especially if I run into some nifty historical story!
Excellent video. Very informative. As always, you are the Hoya guru who single handedly is responsible for many Hoya addictions. One love ❤️. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for all the tips, links and everything! I tried to search for history of Hoya plants, and ended up here 😅 I'll certainly look up the Swedish links, as I'm from Norway, I understand their language 😊 Hope you post more of Hoya history, it's so much to learn! 😃🌿
Again you are making it much easier for us to share the Hoya addiction 😊 and you are adorable when you get flustered. It is endearing. Keep it up always look forward to your videos
Thank you for sharing this video. It was extra helpful. I'm trying to find some nice easy hoyas for my southern ( but not very sunny ) kitchen window. It was super helpful.
This is a most excellent video. My first degree is in biology and love that you are providing instructions for people to research from proper, reputable sites in addition to the normal FB type information. I have to add that if 1984 makes for an “old” person, what does that mean for us poor folks born long before that? 😂
This is an amazing video. So many videos of similar type merely scratch the surface. I appreciate that you’re out here making videos for absolute plant nerds who need as much info as possible. Thanks so much!
Neiro! I was born in 1984!!! Lol! I'm not an old lady, just a semi old lady! Lobe your channel and this video!!! Love from Washington, State, USA! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! I was looking for ways to research my hoya (I just got my first Indonesian import). Let's Talk Hoya has a dedicated podcast episode, but I can't remember a darn thing that they said ever, and I'm usually driving when I'm listening to podcasts. I only knew about Researchgate and Doug with Vermont Hoyas. This was very helpful!
Thank you sooooo much for this!!! This video could be adapted to any plant really. I am now going to be busy looking up every Hoya I own with this info. You’re great dude! I wish I could have access to half of the Hoya you have. I’m in Montana, USA. Keep up the awesome videos and being such a cutie pie 🥰
That's right! :) It can be applied to any plant, and that was kind of my goal :) Oh I think there is a very nice selection of Hoyas in the US, some that are not available here in Europe. :)
That was great information, and now I feel completely overwhelmed 😂 I believe most of my Hoya are cultivars and I find conflicting information all the time. I’ll just look at them and relax.
I have this hoya. It dropped all the leaves in the mail so I chopped it in to pieces and most of them rotted away. I had one survivor; the sad looking one-leafer is growing a new leaf now in pon. I hope it grows and blooms for me one day 🤞🌿
Yes, I heard horror stories when it comes to this hoya and shipping. She is really sensitive when it comes to that. I hope your plant recovers well and blooms
Thank you for this video! Can you please do a video on hoya silver dollar? I just got into hoyas and i love the silver dollar and dont want to mess up on it… to me, a one node rooted cutting is still so expensive… ekk
Brilliant! Research is an art form, I've found, and you are an artist. Ten Hoyas are gracing this studio apartment, and I keep trying to find more places for more Hoyas, but it looks like collecting has to stop. Yeah, sure, sure.🥳
Awesome video as always. Serious pressing question: How do you handle keeping your humidity high enough for Hoya medinillifolia but still manage to keep your hair en pointe? I believe this requires a tips and tricks follow-up. TIA ❤️❤️
Hahaha :D She is in the grow tent :D Even though humidity in the room is always around 60%, my hair is (sadly) naturally very straight, so higher humidity doesn't really do much to it 😂 But I can dream it will have waves one day 😂
Thanks!!! This makes looking for information so much easier!! I'm collecting Hoya carnosa cultivars 🤣😂 So i'm up to myself, but still this was so usefull!
I have just started my hoya collection. I have about 7 right now and 2 more on the way plus other non Hoya plants and would like to know if lava rock or bonsai mix would work for these plants ?
Love the research and the links to the sites used, very helpful. I don’t have the conditions for a Hoya like that, being still very much a beginner. Aren’t the lavender color flowers shown for H. medinillifolia unusual? Lastly, I just got an interesting site show up in my suggested videos: Nusa Plant-Hoya Tour Garden from Indonesia. The varieties of Hoya are amazing….and you only have about 300, nice. Guess we have lots of Hoya videos to look forward to 😄🌱🌿 yay!
Yes, the flowers that medinillifolia has are very unusual and very very pretty. That is why I got her and I cannot wait for her to bloom. I have decided I am going to make a video on it if she does bloom even though no one asked for it xD Oh yes, 300 hoyas is nothing compared to how many there are :)
Love this video! I have tried doing my own research and this will help me alot. Thank you! And I laughed so hard when you called her an old lady because I was born in 1984! 😂
Yay! I am happy I could help out :D Oh we are all old ladies now. When I think that generations born in 2000s are in their 20s now I am like... but that is impossible, I am in my 20s too. And then I do the math and realize I am 30 😂
*Raises hand* I am the target audience for this video. I have 8 Hoyas in my house, and I literally just learned to care for them by trial and error.... Thank you, kindly. ~Lynn
I grow mine in chunky tropical mix with lots of coconut husk and soil free. I give it good light (barrina) but it’s not very close to the light in my tent with 50% humidity. It seems to be doing well.
@@BasiePlants when I first got it as a 3-node cutting, it suffered a lot because it had to root and lost a couple leaves. Then after it rooted, it grew like maybe 4-6 pairs of large leaves
I am just new to hoyas and trying to get mine to bloom. I turned the heater on in their room. Right now it's snowing outside, and I also have red light on them. How long shall I wait for Bloom's? And which accent do you have? Which nationality,?
That is torture Miro. I literally have no place left to squeeze new plants and I want to buy mor Hoyas. The problem with my plants is they grow. I do like seeing growth but it also means no more plants. Anyway I will continue to enjoy new ones through other Hoya heads like me😊
Yes :D They grow all the time, but I cut mine back pretty frequently. It helps with keeping them smaller and sometimes I just decide to move on from one sp. so I can get another one that I don't have :) For example, Doug usually keeps them around until he blooms them, and then he sells it into cuttings and starts with a new species :) There are definitely some that I would like to have always, but to be honest, not all of them :)
Help Miro!!!! I have a hoya I thought was named Iris Marie but that doesn't seem to exist on plants of the world online. Please help me find her real name. I knew something was odd about the name just because I've never seen a video on her on UA-cam. 🤞
I think all of us born before 2000s are ancient now 😂 I mean, the Internet is already referring to those born in the late 90s as the older generation and I am sitting here, born in ‘92 like… 👁👄👁👴🏻
Hello, from another fan! Thank you for another amazing video! I found this one in particular extremely helpful, as I am struggling my beloved Hoya Decipulae.

😂 You are not, I agree! :D
Your Hoya here reminds me of my Hoya platicaulis. Your videos are informative and your character amuses me.
I can see the resemblence :) They are easy to tell apart in person and platycaulis is much easier to bloom :D

Oh I also just enjoy my cultivars :D It is fun to find out more about them but just like you, I mostly just look at them and relax XD
Thank you so much!
This was very helpful. I love your channel and have more hoyas bc of you!
Really great information! Thank you.

Yes, I heard horror stories when it comes to this hoya and shipping. She is really sensitive when it comes to that. I hope your plant recovers well and blooms
What an excellent video! that helps with plant research in general!
Very informative! I felt like I was in botany class again! Lol I loved botany class!!! Thanks for the different sites!!!
Aw, that is the best compliment! Thank you!
Thank you! Didn’t even know most of these sites. Doug’s site is my go to 🤣
Now you know :D
She'll do great in Florida.😁
i would watch a 3 hr video of you counting all of your hoyas
Hahaha 😂 the day may come xD
Thank you so much for your help, awesome info now I can get help with my Gunung ganing ❤

Would love some care tips on GPS 7240 and VL9 😫 I know they’re similar and most likely subspecies of Sigillatis but there’s no care tips anywhere!
Thank you for all this info!!!!!

Wow, so much Info, and great resources
I am glad you think so :)
So helpful!!
