I agree about the H chinghungensis. That one really surprised me, and how did I not know about it for so long. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
yay , you figured out the key to the closeup pix game. the 'pretty' pictures after each show and tell are always so well filmed I am enjoying your hoya journey.👏
Thanks. The figuring out of the new camera was rather frustrating for a while, but I like to think it's getting better. Thank you for tolerating my learning curve, for watching, and for adding your comment.
Fantastic Hoyas, each and every one of them! Love me a plant update video and this one is one of the best! Many thanks for sharing these beautiful plants with us. Take care. 👌🪴🥰
Thanks so much for the kind words. I really like doing update videos because they make me take a look and see how far they've come, or not. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
All of your hoyas have grown beautifully and quite fast😍. Thank you so much for sharing🌱 If you ever feel like you can, please do a houseplant tour so we can see how you have your plants and hoyas set up around your place. I feel like it gives me a wider picture when I see houseplant tour and is motivating🙏🏽😆
I've had so many requests for a plant tour or a hoya tour, that I'm considering it. But I have a lot of plants in general, and a lot of Hoyas in particular (over 150), so it seems a bit overwhelming. Plus I'd have to really clean up the plant room. When I figure out how to accomplish it, it'll happen. Thanks for watching and adding your suggestion.
I'd heard they can be a little "particular", but, so far, well worth the try. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for watching. And yes, you probably do need an undulata.
Ahh my wishlist hoya Undulata! I love the small leaf Spectatissima and Chinghungensis, so adorable. I love the way small leaf drape down and sort of architecturally branch out! I'm adding chjnghungensis to my wishlist! Your hoyas have done well during those months. I hope my hoya NGG grows up like yours... Thanks for sharing as always! Dee, NY
The H chinghungensis shocked me with the amount of growth it put out, that, and that it is very cool looking. Still waiting on the blooms. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your NGG. Thanks, as always, for your watch and adding your comment.
I know what you mean, they're all my favorites. Can there be levels of "favoriteness". I've heard the H undulata can be "fussy", so Ill keep you posted. Thanks for watching.
I think the "slow growing" and "look the same" myths were started so that people woudn't find out how much fun they were. Thanks for watching and your comment.
We all have our roles to play. And isn't "influencer" just a fancy word for "enabler"? H spectatissima is very cool. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Thank you. Most of my hoyas grow in pon-ish and self-watering pots. Those that aren't are in a coco husk chunk, sphagnum, and pumice mix, also in self-watering pots. Thanks for watching and asking your question.
@@PlantedInRI do you use a wick system? I’m just started using self watering so far so good. I haven’t changed over my chinghungensis yet. Had it for a year and its half the size of your! Guess what I’m doing today! Thank you
I'm late this week 😊 That Spectatissima, or whatever it is called, is adorable. I just got a tiny Lyi and see what you mean. The New Guinea ghost is adorable! I killed mine off. Lol. You need more silver leaves in your life. Lol.😊
My H lyi took a while to get going and bloom, but it was worth the wait. The H spectatissima was right away, so you do need one of those. The NGG has really surprised me. I agree about more silver, so I'm after an H coriacea Silver, but I may need to hit the PowerBall to afford one. Thanks for watching, the kind words in your vid, and, of course, adding your comment.
@@PlantedInRI You're welcome 😊 I look forward to your videos. I'm going to send you a few silver cuttings to add to your collection. I don't have that one you mentioned because it's too expensive. Lol. Out of my league. 😅
@@planttherapy1860 Thank you, that's sweet. Yeah, I'd need to take out a mortgage to afford the H coriacea Silver, for now. The price will come down...
Don't you hate when that happens? You stand there thinking "what did I do?" and "how did I offend you?" But where there's a peduncle there's another chance. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.
Hello, I have a q. how high do you keep the humidity for you hoya? I have a few out in ambient 55% - 60% And I have a few in my small Milsbo at 70% to 90% And none have bloom for me. I'm a new collector, I have about 20 and all bough this spring and summer. 2 of which where blooming until I brought them home and both are hanging. And btw I love your informative videos. I've learn a lot from you.
All of my Hoyas and Dischidias are in ambient humidity, which is around 55-60%. I don't have a cabinet or grow tent, and while one might be helpful, I find they're not necessary. So many factors can affect the blooming of Hoyas - amount of light, moisture/humidity, temperature, nutrients/food, etc. - and it varies from species to species. Some varieties need to "settle in" to new surroundings, some need shorter "days", some longer, some cooler temperatures, some warmer, some bloom right away, some take years. I find feeding to be really important. There is no "one" answer. The best approach is to research each species, learn where they grow and what they like, and try to give the plant as much of that as you can. Thanks for watching and asking your question.
Hello-I put my Chinghungensis in pon after watching your video. When I touch it green leaves just fall off. Quite a few. 😢 could this be from stress of removing soil and transplanting? I’m a little nervous. Thanks
Yes, it could be from the stress of the transition, that process can be tough and does damage roots. I usually figure it's going to take a Hoya at least four weeks to recover. When I move them to a self-watering, wick-based pot, I also top water (rather than relying on the wick) for the first couple of weeks to make sure that there's sufficient moisture in the pon. Keep us posted.
If it's been a year, and it's done nothing, it might be time to change something. At least that's my typical approach. Keep me posted. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best of luck with your H chinghungensis.
What's your budget limit for cuttings. I have 4 carnosa hoyas - cuz I love them, but man I can't believe the cost of them! My first one I bought 40 years ago and I've never had another like it since. It was HUGE and I think I paid $25 for it at a garden nursery
It rather depends on the cutting, and whether or not it's rooted. I try to keep in mind that: 1-it's a plant and I could kill it in a week, and 2-any Hoya I can find is not "rare". It may be less common, but it's not rare, no matter what the Etsy listing says. And Hoyas are "hot" right now so the pricing is very inflated. I've found if you are patient, shop around, you can find what you're looking for at a decent price. Thanks for watching and asking your question.
Hello from Puerto Rico!! I love Hoyas and you some rather rare and beautiful ones. Just subscribed. I recently started my English speaking channel and would appreciate your support. Thank you! 🙋🏼♀️
I really appreciate these "then and now" videos. They're encouraging, and great demonstrations of how the cuttings can change as they grow.
I do as well. It can be easy to forget where you started. I hope they provide a frme of reference for people. Thanks for watching and sharing your comment.
Thank you for showcasing another plethora of hoya. 🇨🇦❤️
...and thank you for watching and adding your comment.
Beautiful collections of Hoya's. Thank you for sharing them with Us.
I'm always willing to show and talk about my plants. Thank you for watching and adding your comment.
Hi! Your Hoyas are all gorgeous but my goodness Chinghungensis is to die for! Thanks, as always, for sharing them to us!! 👌
I agree about the H chinghungensis. That one really surprised me, and how did I not know about it for so long. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
You're welcome and it's my pleasure! Happy growing!😊

I just lust after undulata!! They are spectacular plants. Your Hoyas are just amazing!
Thanks. It's so nice to discover that Hoyas aren't as difficult as many people say. Thanks for your "watch" and your comment.

@@PlantedInRI you're welcome, thanks for sharing! I'm already searching for Ching...!
Hoya insularis is also one of my favorites, but then again, all the hoyas I have are my favorites.😂😂😂 I still get myself a Hoya undulata.
I know what you mean, they're all my favorites. Can there be levels of "favoriteness". I've heard the H undulata can be "fussy", so Ill keep you posted. Thanks for watching.
So much for hoyas being slow growing. Oh yeah, and they all look the same. Cheers!
I think the "slow growing" and "look the same" myths were started so that people woudn't find out how much fun they were. Thanks for watching and your comment.
Enabler! I like that spectatissima a lot. Small, but not too small, leaves. I may have to indulge in one of those!
I killed lockii so I will not be indulging in another of those! Haha.
We all have our roles to play. And isn't "influencer" just a fancy word for "enabler"? H spectatissima is very cool. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Oh that's a shame, mine just started blooming. You'll try again, it's how we hoya people are. Thanks for the watch and the comment.
LOVE THIS! So inspiring! What do you grow your Hoya in please?,! Thank you!

Hello, my H. pubicalix likes to grow 10 feet a year. It's currently 41 years old.
That's great. Once they find their "home" they just grow. Forty-one years is so cool. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.
