Ok--I've shown you mine, now show me yours! What's your absolutely, positively perfect Hoya?
Alas, I have none. I'm here to see yours❤
I do love a beautiful callistophylla, but a great one most can grow… obovata or compacta are my go too favs!
Love the obovata!!
I don't have an oh so perfect hoya, but one that is pleasantly surprising me is my Callistophyla Black Cat. Showing quite a few signs of growth!
I cant answer this 😂
Too many Hoyas to love 🌸
(I think favorites would be like 20 or so? But are they perfect? I dont know)
I love that you don't "serve up the same old shit" that a lot of tubers do😅
Oops 😬
Ditto
Congratulations on having over 1000 subscribers. Your videos are so informative and interesting that your channel should continue to grow. I’m looking forward to that.
Thank you, Janice. It's a very small, big deal 😁
Mine is doing AMAZING!!!! She has settled in and pushed out 2 new leaves in the short time since she got here! Thanks again!!!

Wahoooooo!!! 🥳🎉🥳 And glad Jennifer is doing so well already. You're doing something right (in both cases). Best advice I was ever given: keep doing whatever THAT is😀
I always thought Jennifer was just a name you gave to your plant! 😄
Not naming my plants might be the only "normal" thing I do in this hobby 🤣
This is just such a gorgeous hoya. She's on my list!!!
Ah, yes. My work here is done...... 😁
Hmm I think you probably ask to much with your question. But here I go...I do adore the look of my Hoya parasitica splash because I had to rescue it when it first came home and now it's looking so much better. ❤ But the one I love the most surprising would likely be my hoya carnosa. It was my first hoya I ever bought, and it grows so well for me, and gives me bigger leaves than it's predecessor (which not to say I'm a born competitive person, but it feels good 😅) and rewards me with little splashes on its leaves now that it never had on its previous leaves like little poppy freckles. So cute and random.
Yesssss on that carnosa! You're going to see mine in future styling. Great plants ☺
Please, bonsai scissor people. Give this person a JOB!!
Or stock options?
@@soberplantguy maybe you cut the ribbon at the next bonsai scissor factory opening and we call it a day?
It's beautiful. What a great grower!
The BEST
Those veins, though! ❤. Sooooooo cool!!! 🌿
I'm def over the moon with this girl 🤩
Ok , I must have watched this video countless time before i ordered my H. Jennifer. I also ordered one that’s crossed with H. Jennifer x Estrelaensis ( RHM-1307). I can’t wait to grow these two Hoyas out just to smell the flowers.
My straight-up 'Jennifer' didn't take all that long--and oh my. Just a heavenly fragrance.
Love your Hoya Jennifers! Such amazing growth! Looking forward to your plant care video, I know it’ll be excellent. As always, I enjoyed this video very much. Have a great week! 👌🪴🥰
Thanks so much!
❤ Jennifer is on my long wishlist! But, now shes next in line to buy! Excellent, excellent video!❤
Yessssss!!!
I wanted all the hoyas I know of with feminine names - Patricia, Noelle, Bella, Mathilde, Dee's Big One, India, Irina, Kerrii, etc. but Jennifer... I tried
3 xs. I gave up. Yours are so robust! Thanks for sharing👍🏽Dee, NY
My Bella is doing great now, but of your list that's the one I had an epic struggle with. I'm so glad to see India on your list. I thought I was literally the *only* one 😁
I know! You don't really see India being showcased but it's a pretty hoya! Its a fast grower too!
3:02 Oh. My. I am literally obsessed with this beautiful plant. 🩷 Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Me too!!!
Sign me up when they're ready! I'll take one. Beautiful structure and coloration. 🎉
Well, my friend, I have good news for you........
@@soberplantguy OH?! Be still my heart! Dare I hope?
I recently discovered your UA-cam videos, they are well paced and very informative.. I am also a sober person (24yrs) and a new Hoya lover. (I will not watch the martini man again).
A little suggestion: I use chopsticks for staking small plants and poking holes in soil for cuttings. They are cheap, reusable, eco friendly and can be cleaned easily if you get the polished bamboo ones.
"With a tasty beverage at hand....) It's funny you mention the chopsticks. My wife just gave me some for one that was leaning a bit left. Good suggestion, thank you!
I used to wish my name was Jennifer because mine is old fashioned, but I graduated with about 10 Jennifer’s so now I’m kind of glad
My first name is Gary, which hasn't been popular since wayyyy before I was born 🤣
@@soberplantguy mine was most popular name circa 1935 😂
Love your videos I agree with Shirley there 😉😝,, I just shared your channel with my Daughter you have two more admirers 😎,Hoya On 🐞
Thanks so much! Didn't I say that I should edit out that part?? 🤣
Great content again Dave, can I ask if you keep substrate wet after putting the cuttings into it.
Well that would have been good info for the video 🤣Yes, I do keep that substrate moist for quite a while. Like until she's firmly rooted in. Thank you for the compliment, btw!
I have one, its pretty fast growing and not fussy at all. Not as fast as yours though. Thanks for video!
Glad you enjoyed it! As for my 'Jennifer,' pretty sure I got really lucky with her. Though I'm not above taking all the credit..........
Hi there😌🙌Yes, the Jennifer looks fabulous and full🥰My thirsty Hoya is my hoya krimson princess that doesn't ever dry out in its reservoir💦💦💦
And I bet she's growing really well, too ☺
Super enjoyed❤ love the hat😊 tell me what is your link is for the hoyas that you sell? Thank you! Please continue with your super informative videos ❤
Thanks so much! You can reach me at soberplantguy@gmail.com. Happy to shoot you a list/pics. Cheers 😊
@@soberplantguy awesome! Email on the way!🤩
I personally use bobby pins as plant pins to keep cutting in soil. Super cheap. I just bend them out so they don't pinch the plant. I had no idea you could buy plant specific pins!
I have my Crimson Queen Hoya in simi hydro (pon). I never let it get completely dry and my hoya is constantly putting out new leaves. Constantly. I wonder how many people who have hoya troubles are having issues because they let them dry out or don't fertilize enough.
All of them, maybe 🤣 I tried the bobby pins, my only problem was that my clumsy fingers couldn't undo them very well. But they certainly work well, agreed!
Awesome job subscribed 👍
Hey thanks!
Hi, Dave. I just subscribed to your wonderful channel. Your substrate, is coco coir same as coco peat? How often do you water your hoyas in this substrate? Thanks.
Correct, exactly the same thing. It works out for me that I water the plants outside of the tent roughly weekly. Based on size of the plant, size of the pot, and ratio of mix, where they are in relation to window--that's just how it works out. The tent is getting watered a little more often, as it has gotten quite a lot warmer here in Iowa (and a LOT warmer in the tent). Cheers ☺
Love jen
Any thoughts on reptile bark and peat with perlite as a substrate? I got some am trying it, but nervous to damage my Hoyas.
I’m sure that will work great! Pest does become hydrophobic, which is annoying. Cheers from Iowa 😁
She's a little too big-leaf'd for me, but all of yours are amazing! 🇨🇦😁
It would be a little weird if there was a planet that somehow managed to be perfect for *everyone* 😅
OK, hoya expert.I had a gigantic hoya plant for more than 20 years. Everyone I gave a cutting to got blossoms on their plants. l never ever had a blossom on the parent plant. Please explain.
That'd be hard to give a definitive answer to. I certainly have had many experiences where the cutting grow even better than the mother plant... But light is usually my first guess. While not every single Hoya wants more of it, carnosa does, in my experience. If you are giving it ample light, food is the next thought, and the next thought is..... I'm not really sure 🤣 But, I would be comparing notes with your friends/family.
My Jennifer doesn't look anything like your beauty. Wow! I still love mine though... She'll get there.
No doubt she will ! I really should be more careful not to take undo credit for what mine has done (typical man thing, take all the credit for her 😆)
Do you have the measurements for you substrate?
When I'm paying attention, it's roughly 1/3 each, though it's easy to grab more of the chunks and I end up with a mix that dries out quickly 🙃 I can imagine a lot of people wanting more coco coir in their mix, but I'm a huge fan of watering plants ....
Little old lady?? Might be... mine hasn't blooomed yet D:
I would say, while a newer(ish) prop, it came from a mother plant that is ... 2 years old, maybe?
What do people mean when they say that krohniana (sp?) smells like old lady? Like...vintage perfume? I LOVE vintage perfume. I wonder which one this smells like.
Much better said, and I absolutely LOVE the smell.
@@soberplantguy In the fragrance community we politely call those "vintage fragrances." Or saying that it would "suit a woman who bought "The Bank of England." I haven't figured out the second label but it's funny so I'll continue to use it. And yes, I love the "Bank of England" scents at my age!
Im happy with any scent that isn’t like sour/rotten. As long as it doesn’t make me look all over for something that needs to be cleaned up only to find out that it is a bloom Im pretty happy 🌸
@@debh3404 Consider "Bank of England" officially stolen 😁 Anything good that I carried from childhood to adulthood came from my grandmother and great-grandmother, so vintage perfume is a really lovely, nostalgic thing for me 🥰
@@soberplantguy Right?! Scent memories are the strongest memories in my opinion. I've taught my husband to appreciate good perfume (yes, it's still called perfume if it's made for men) and to find the particular notes with his nose. He said that he's enjoying experiencing life through his sense of smell. Something that he never paid attention to before.
Do you have any idea which perfumes your grandmother or great grandmother wore? Yes, I have a serious fragrance addiction.
Where can I get one of your Jennifer?
Just drop me an email over at soberplantguy@gmail.com. Always happy to take some pics for you 😀
Since you have so many Jennifer’s can you sell me one. I need one in my life
Absolutely! You can always reach me at soberplantguy@gmail.com
@@soberplantguy I did
So many Jennifers!
I like clear plastic pots in cover pots for peeking at roots all the time!
Otherwise also not afraid to look at roots, it just gets so messy
Define conventional wisdom?
People who underwater plants/cuttings and then say they are slow growing?
Or cuttings in ambient conditions without growlights (which also works but can also be slow).
If it works well for you, or even better than the “conventional wisdom” then that is your way to go!
And perhaps conventional wisdom will change over time, like with scientists who keep finding more effective ways to reach the result they want. 🧪🫧
I really don't know how my wife has tolerated me all these years. At least I know how to clean up my messy repots. Usually. Almost always? 😅
@@soberplantguy From what I know from my husband, the toleration comes out of seeing a loved one enjoy their plants. He even knows some of their names now.
@@Wubblyt Good for him! I'm lucky in that my wife is very interested in jungle. Or fakes it really, really well 🤨
@@soberplantguy Its the best when you can enjoy things together!
I would love to add one of these to my collection! How could I not!?
