I always appreciate the research and educational background you provide on all of your Hoyas. I’m so 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 for all of the episodes you develop. I always look forward to your next upload.
@@PlantedInRII almost forgot to give you my range, it’s between $100 to 150. This is usually for a hard to acquire rooted cutting or plant that has been around for a few years and the possibility of it reverting or the price reducing in the future, is minimal. Note: however, with all of that stated, It’s not often that I go above the price range of $50 for a Hoya basket 😊.
Limit of 60-65 for the whole order, including shipping costs. I spend a ridiculous amount of time watching videos and researching plants so that I know what I want. I really appreciate all your show and tell videos!
When I first started collecting, I would forget to include the shipping costs as part of the price; which made for some purprises at checkout. Time spent researching plants before you buy is never wasted time, it's part of the investment. Thanks for watching and adding your comments.
Here is your reminder to order pots and Pon, if you haven´t already😉. Love your sense of humour, my tasty beverage almost went the wrong way at your "ombré effect". The most I´ve paid for a plant, so far, was €50 (about $53) so I guess that is my limit for an established plant. For cuttings I´m not willing to pay that much.
Thanks, Sandra, for the reminder. I did order them. The pots should be here today and the pon next week. I have an 8kg bag of pon here already, but you can never have too much, and I have a lot of potting to do. Thanks for watching, for the reminder, and for adding your comment.
when i started to get hooked on Hoyas i would find many of them very fascinating. i would spend a lot on them. i have a wishlist now too but i wait until it shows up reasonably priced.
I, too, can't wait to see how they grow. I found that as I got a bit more confident with growing Hoyas, the amount I was willing to spend increased. But I still have a limit. Thanks, Laura, for watching and adding your comment.
I paid my highest price of $36 for Patricia as a memorial plant for my Mom, who passed away in 2021. No regrets so far, but I'm still waiting for peduncles. Thanks for another great video. 👍🇨🇦
What a neat idea, to get a plant to remember someone. Getting a plant in memory of my Mom would be somewhat ironic as well, since the only plants she could keep alive were the plastic ones. Thanks, Kimbermoi, for watching and commenting.
I learned from the fish-keeping hobby that the first one to sell the plant, or fish gets an enormous price. 3 years later when the competition kicks in the price goes way down. I usually buy cuttings for under 10.
That's the way to do it. I've seen too many plant prices tumble from great heights - I'm thinking Pilea peperomioides. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yes I definitely have to have a limit, although sometimes I don’t like it lol, here in Western Australia we have extremely strict quarantine laws which keeps our prices fairly high for a while , this makes a lot of Hoya harder to come by.
If I had an unlimited budget, I'd get in so much trouble, and very quickly run out of room. Oh, wait, I've already run out of room, even with a limited budget. Sometimes the harder they are to come by, the more exciting is "the hunt". Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Another really enjoyable video & I just love your sense of humour 👍👍 I do have a limit but I have been tempted to break it a few times 🫣🫣 The longer I’m in this game now I’m much better at holding back to see if a price drop occurs. See you next week 🥳🥳 🍸🍸
I agree. I am better able to wait for the prices to drop because I've seen it happen so often. Remember Pilea peperomioides? And now they're a few bucks at a big box store. Thanks, Heather, for watching and commenting. 'Til next week.
I don't necessarily have an exact set number limit per se. I can say though, that I don't ENJOY spending more than 50 cap on a plant. In that situation. It has to be after a long search and a sizeable, reasonable, specimen. I will definitely wait until I find the one and tend to look for the "deals." I have recently purchased a few cuttings, but they were extremely affordable, and I enjoy growing from a small plant at times. 😊 I feel like this was a great question and something that could be of good use for us all to take a look at!
Thanks. I find that as I have gained more experience I am far more willing to start with an unrooted cutting. I can get them to root. It's smaller for longer, and I can start it in the medium of my choice. Plus they typically cost less. Thanks, again for watching and commenting.
Yes, I do have a limit i prefer. I also look at shipping amounts, location, and sales. Alot of the u-tubers prefer cuttings, but I'm not that experienced rooting them. Especially in different substrates.
Those are all things to take into acount - and I have learned to do that, especially the shipping and the substrate. Hoya cuttings can be easier than most people think, but it can take a bit to find the way that works best for you; and there can be casualties along the way. Thanks for watching and contributing to the conversation.
@@PlantedInRI They look very similar to one of yours. I'm going to check, Gabriella Plants was the seller. They said it's Idaho, although they could not be sure until they flowered. 🤔 I have 2 and thought to offer one for sale, but I hesitate due to that disclaimer. I will just hog both of them.
I never really set a price limit, but I agree with you on the riskyness of investing in a plant that I could easily kill. So far, my most expensive hoya is a well-established Hoya memoria (labeled Hoya gracilis) from a local Houston nursery that I paid $28 for. Incidentally, the only hoya that I killed was a retusa. I have since received another retusa at about the same $12 price and size so I will see if I have learned anything. And my linearis unrooted cutting that I chopped to prop into 5 hopefuls are struggling for 3 mos because I refused to pay the outrageous prices that are out there, plus I figured I would get it young to adapt to my conditions rather than watch an established expensive plant die. Incidentally, I am a native of North Attleboro and loved Briggs! Thanks for making me homesick every week.
I, to, prefer getting the plant small and settling it into one of my preferred gorwing mediums early on. Small plants are usually less expensive and hence less of a financial risk. Sorry about the homesickness, but North Attleboro and Briggs are still here, and once the cold season ends, you can always visit. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
When I started I limited spending to $15. Online. But soon found out the pictures are deceiving and I found larger Hoyas at my grocery and Lowe's for the same price. So now I am always on the hunt. I will go up to $35. If it's a nice and well established plant.
That sounds reasonable. I've found that as I get a bit better at growing some species, I'm more willing to risk buying a plant that's a bit more expensive. Thankas for watching and commenting.
My price limit at the beginning was around 20 €. I've doubled that since then, but for an absolute wish plant of a very decent size, or a rare one (I think of my Dracula Orchid or my iridescent Begonia Pavonina). I only broke my limit once and you are directly responsible for it😊. Two days after you showed us your Hoya spartioides I was at an Orchid nurcery that had an open day sale of freshly imported Hoyas. I paid 53€ for my spartioides and still can't bring myself to regret it, because I love this plant. But that was the one and only time I slipped. The vast majority of my plants cost single digits actually. Love these "then and now" videos by the way. They give a realistic idea of what my expectations should be if I bought one of these plants, or, if I already have them, some comparison notes.
That's me, the Hoya Enabler. But isn't H spartioides such a cool plant? The "then and now" videos are fun for me too, because sometimes I forget just how far, or not, the plant has come. Thanks for watching and adding to the conversation.
I definitely have a limit on how much I will spend for a hoya. However, buying cuttings or smaller plants help stretch the budget. I also never buy from big online shops and prefer US Hoya Market and similar FB groups. It’s a lot more fun, you get to meet other people in the hobby, and you get the craziest deals. For example, I just purchased a Lacunosa Bruno, Spectatissima, and Kroh Super Silver Black cutting today for around $20 total from a 10 and under purge group.
That's what I mean when I talk about "the hunt", and I've met a couple of very nice people through sales. It can be a bit "scary" buying online, that's why I try to include sellers with whom I've had a good experience. Thanks for watching.
That's great. I've tried my local FB groups, but have had very poor results. Maybe it's time to try again. Thanks for watching and sharing your comments.
Carnosa Compacta is so slow growing... but still very beautiful. I found a large green Carnosa Compacta at HD and traded up my tiny cutting I had been growing for a year. I guess I cheated a bit. LOL
That's what I had heard, which is why I wanted to try it. But considering that I transitioned the cuttings to pon and self-watering, and it's only been three months, I think they're growing on par with most of my other Hoyas. We'll take another look at six months and see if that continues to hold true. Thanks for watching and adding your comment
I'm with you on the 3 digits = "no way" and the Canuck Buck doesn't stretch as far. I'm very new to hoya and I have already spent more than $50CDN on one beauty that's just sitting there pouting. Note to self: maybe not again until you hear that folks in our climate are successful with a species. I do want to say that it's really encouraging to know that even the pros have fails....makes it less stressful for us beginners.
Hoyas can sometimes take a bit to adapt to their new surroundings - keep in mind that you've changed everything about their environment, especially if you've repotted. I always think of "Hoya time" as being slower than other genera - it can take several weeks for Hoyas to respond to changes. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Love Hoyas too!! Don’t have as many as you, new to the game. Started collecting back in the spring of this year, but already hooked. I probably have 30+. Anyway, you wanted to know where I watch from, Cortez, CO. (four corners region)🤪 I grew up in Denver only been down here for 9 years.
Welcome to the Hoya Rabbit Hole. Keep in mind that it's not the size of your collection, but the joy it brings you that is important. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Yep, I have a limit, half way to the triple digits. Shipping is another thing that has to come into it as some people charge more than others for shipping, I'm sure they use it to make a bit extra. 😊😊
You're right, the shipping costs can be an important financial factor in any order. Sellers who include fancy wrapping paper, thanks you cards, plant clips, stickers, etc., have to cover those expenses someplace, and I have a feeling most of it is in the shipping charges. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Ok, you just blew my mind regarding the compacta. In the wild, mutations happen with succulents and cacti. In fact i have a few of these "monstrose" types. The idea that someone forced this mutation and then stabilized it...while this doesn't happen naturally for hoya in the wild...🤯 Never knew!
Mutations/variations do occur with Hoyas in the wild, and the H nicholsoniae 'New Guinea Ghost' is an example. But the H carnosa compacta was a result of a "let's see what happens if" experiment. Thanks for watching adding your comment.
I just looked up MB 1497. Oh, how pretty! Another for my wishlist! I have hoya hot lips, second try. The first was over watered. My current one is doing quite well and I switched to a hanging basket today. The largest leaf is a little over 3" long & about 2" wide. No, I will not pay more than $50 for any plant. I've lost quite a few hoyas over the years. In the beginning, before covid, I was purchasing mature hoyas and spent a pretty penny. Not one of them survived. My biggest contention is with hoya compacta - the mealies oh my! One day I might try again after I've completed my wishlist. Thanks for sharing. As always look forward to your next! Dee, NY
I think in the beginning, after we've lost a couple of Hoyas, we go for "mature" plants just to be safe. Then we move to "established" plants, then rooted cuttings, then lightly rooted cuttings, and finally just cuttings - 'cause we've figured how to get them to root and grow, and they're cheaper. That and that we can fit more small plants in the space we have available. Thanks, Dee, for watching and adding your comments.
Hello! I’m an enthusiast in central FL with about 75 - 80 species of hoya. Subscribed to your channel, and always impressed with your collection and the vigor of your plants. Please tell me about the plastic cups that fit so perfectly into glass yogurt containers - what’s the size, where do you get them? Also the bucket/colander watering hack you featured in another video is genius, thanks!!
Glad you liked the bucket and collander. The small plastic cups are just standard 3oz cups - either from Solo or StackMaster. The StackMaster brand fits just a bit better in the yougurt cups. I either found them in the grocery store or got them online. Thanks for watching and subscribing, and ading your comment.
Love the moonshadow, debated on getting a piece, except that I recently purchased a cutting of the variegated incrassata. Btw, I picked up the manipurensis and I have endauensis on the way! Your influence threw me over the edge 😅 May get kanyakumariana later down the road!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom oh great Wizard of Hoyas 😶🌫 as a new hoya parent, i kind of struggle to understand what a "splash" is (how does it happen, is it good or bad for the plant, can all hoyas get it, etc). Maybe you'd be willing to share your wisdom on that topic too in some video🙇♀
Hardly a Hoya wizard, more like an enabler. "Splash" are the "white" areas that can appear on Hoya leaves, and is/are air pockets that develop under the surface of the leaf. They are called splash, because their appearance is random and not part of a regular leaf pattern; looking as though the leaf had been splashed with something. Some species/cultivars seem to develop more than others, and to my knowledge, it doesn't harm the plant. Splash is a very popular characteristic, and can drive up the price of a plant to insane levels. Many people claim that they know the secret to getting more splash, and that more light, or more air, or more something with result in more splash, but I have not found any of that to be true. And always keep in mind that there is no Hoya with the word "splash" as part of its actual name. Words like "splash", and "super splash" are descriptors, used to describe the characteristics of one particular clone, and do not constitute a "new" species. Thanks for watching and asking your question.
At first I would forget to include "shipping" in my figuring, but now that's something I definately take into consideration. Oh, but once H nicholsoniae NGG gets going, one can almost forget the expense. Thanks, William, for watching and adding your comment.
I try to be patient for the prices I want to pay and it’s paid off many times for me. I’ve gotten some great buys. What helps keep me honest is a total lack of any more growing space. It really slows me down 😂
I keep trying to convince myself that I don't have any more room, but for some reason I am not too successful at it. I always seem to find a just bit more room. It slows me down, but doesn't stop me. Darn. Thanks, Margaret, for watching and commenting.
I had heard similar things about a couple of other Hoyas, too. They just hit them with a large dose of radiation or chemicals, which can alter the genes, to see what would happen. Frankenhoya, sort of. Thanks for the watch.
What are you growing your Hoya multiflora in....what kind of pot/soil? Need to know as my new baby multiflora is complaining in my self-watering pot in a well-draining mixture.
My H multiflora is growing in a generic pon and in a self-watering pot. My experience with H multiflora is that they want steady and ready access to moisture, and don't like to get too dry. They have a fairly fine root system, so when I moved H multiflora to self-watering/pon, it was not happy for a while; and if i remember, it seemed like quite a while. But once it got settled, it turned into something of a beast. Best of luck with it. Keep us posted and thanks for watching.
I will never admit how much I spent on a Hoya ($125) which was way over my $40 limit. Yep, I know how to keep quiet on my sweet obsession and wish list. No ones business to my stupidity! I don't spend much money on anything and have always been conservative, just something happened that night....it may have been to close to my birthday, or I may have just watched a video on Alocasia that had an innocent at $1300. Yeo. I will never admit my shame! My lack of control. My coveting heart! But my oh my the Lyi Prism Pink is just about the prettiest Hoya on earth and I smile EACH day I look at it.
Oh, I hear that! I've also learned not to shop for Hoyas after a couple of tasty beverages, most anything seems reasonable at that point. But when you're smiling at your Hoya, it's easier to forgive yourself. Thanks for watching and sharing your story.
Raczej nie mam limitów, chociaż ni zamierzam zapłacić więcej niż 50 S. Moje limity z kolei bardziej oznaczają, że nie kupuję hoi w okresie chłodnym, ponieważ wtedy jest duże ryzyko straty rośliny i szkoda każdych pieniędzy. Pozdrawiam
Ja również zdecydowanie zwalniam z zakupami w chłodniejszą pogodę, wtedy wysyłka może być ryzykowna. Nawet z „okładem rozgrzewającym” może być za zimno. Dzięki za oglądanie i dodanie komentarza.

Mutations/variations do occur with Hoyas in the wild, and the H nicholsoniae 'New Guinea Ghost' is an example. But the H carnosa compacta was a result of a "let's see what happens if" experiment. Thanks for watching adding your comment.
I just looked up MB 1497. Oh, how pretty! Another for my wishlist! I have hoya hot lips, second try. The first was over watered. My current one is doing quite well and I switched to a hanging basket today. The largest leaf is a little over 3" long & about 2" wide. No, I will not pay more than $50 for any plant. I've lost quite a few hoyas over the years. In the beginning, before covid, I was purchasing mature hoyas and spent a pretty penny. Not one of them survived. My biggest contention is with hoya compacta - the mealies oh my! One day I might try again after I've completed my wishlist. Thanks for sharing. As always look forward to your next! Dee, NY
100% with you on those mature Hoya, Dee. But you probably already know that 😆
I think in the beginning, after we've lost a couple of Hoyas, we go for "mature" plants just to be safe. Then we move to "established" plants, then rooted cuttings, then lightly rooted cuttings, and finally just cuttings - 'cause we've figured how to get them to root and grow, and they're cheaper. That and that we can fit more small plants in the space we have available. Thanks, Dee, for watching and adding your comments.
I have never spent more than$40, but that's not to say I won't be tempted beyond that at some point. 😁
Oh, you will be tempted, and from time to time you'll give in, but having that limit is a good way to start. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hello! I’m an enthusiast in central FL with about 75 - 80 species of hoya. Subscribed to your channel, and always impressed with your collection and the vigor of your plants. Please tell me about the plastic cups that fit so perfectly into glass yogurt containers - what’s the size, where do you get them? Also the bucket/colander watering hack you featured in another video is genius, thanks!!
Glad you liked the bucket and collander. The small plastic cups are just standard 3oz cups - either from Solo or StackMaster. The StackMaster brand fits just a bit better in the yougurt cups. I either found them in the grocery store or got them online. Thanks for watching and subscribing, and ading your comment.
Love the moonshadow, debated on getting a piece, except that I recently purchased a cutting of the variegated incrassata. Btw, I picked up the manipurensis and I have endauensis on the way! Your influence threw me over the edge 😅 May get kanyakumariana later down the road!
You're going to love those three small leafed Hoyas, I know I do. Keep us posted.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom oh great Wizard of Hoyas 😶🌫 as a new hoya parent, i kind of struggle to understand what a "splash" is (how does it happen, is it good or bad for the plant, can all hoyas get it, etc). Maybe you'd be willing to share your wisdom on that topic too in some video🙇♀
Hardly a Hoya wizard, more like an enabler. "Splash" are the "white" areas that can appear on Hoya leaves, and is/are air pockets that develop under the surface of the leaf. They are called splash, because their appearance is random and not part of a regular leaf pattern; looking as though the leaf had been splashed with something. Some species/cultivars seem to develop more than others, and to my knowledge, it doesn't harm the plant. Splash is a very popular characteristic, and can drive up the price of a plant to insane levels. Many people claim that they know the secret to getting more splash, and that more light, or more air, or more something with result in more splash, but I have not found any of that to be true. And always keep in mind that there is no Hoya with the word "splash" as part of its actual name. Words like "splash", and "super splash" are descriptors, used to describe the characteristics of one particular clone, and do not constitute a "new" species. Thanks for watching and asking your question.
@@PlantedInRI thank you very much for the detailed reply!:)
My limit is 60 bucks for the whole order. Sometimes that's just one plant, Looking at you Hoya New Guinea Ghost.
At first I would forget to include "shipping" in my figuring, but now that's something I definately take into consideration. Oh, but once H nicholsoniae NGG gets going, one can almost forget the expense. Thanks, William, for watching and adding your comment.
I try to be patient for the prices I want to pay and it’s paid off many times for me. I’ve gotten some great buys. What helps keep me honest is a total lack of any more growing space. It really slows me down 😂
I keep trying to convince myself that I don't have any more room, but for some reason I am not too successful at it. I always seem to find a just bit more room. It slows me down, but doesn't stop me. Darn. Thanks, Margaret, for watching and commenting.
Interesting fun fact, exposed to radiation 😮
I had heard similar things about a couple of other Hoyas, too. They just hit them with a large dose of radiation or chemicals, which can alter the genes, to see what would happen. Frankenhoya, sort of. Thanks for the watch.
@PlantedInRI Frakenhoya! Love it!
What are you growing your Hoya multiflora in....what kind of pot/soil? Need to know as my new baby multiflora is complaining in my self-watering pot in a well-draining mixture.
My H multiflora is growing in a generic pon and in a self-watering pot. My experience with H multiflora is that they want steady and ready access to moisture, and don't like to get too dry. They have a fairly fine root system, so when I moved H multiflora to self-watering/pon, it was not happy for a while; and if i remember, it seemed like quite a while. But once it got settled, it turned into something of a beast. Best of luck with it. Keep us posted and thanks for watching.
@@PlantedInRI Thanks for the info! I'll give it time to adjust.
I have a limit on how much I spend on a plant.
THanks for watching and adding your comment to the conversation.
I will never admit how much I spent on a Hoya ($125) which was way over my $40 limit. Yep, I know how to keep quiet on my sweet obsession and wish list. No ones business to my stupidity! I don't spend much money on anything and have always been conservative, just something happened that night....it may have been to close to my birthday, or I may have just watched a video on Alocasia that had an innocent at $1300. Yeo. I will never admit my shame! My lack of control. My coveting heart! But my oh my the Lyi Prism Pink is just about the prettiest Hoya on earth and I smile EACH day I look at it.
Oh, I hear that! I've also learned not to shop for Hoyas after a couple of tasty beverages, most anything seems reasonable at that point. But when you're smiling at your Hoya, it's easier to forgive yourself. Thanks for watching and sharing your story.
Ah, your poor ombre plant :/ It happens to the best of us, unfortunately. Maybe you'll get a larger cutting next! who knows!
It's good to share that sometimes, for everyone, things don't go as planned and plants die. Realistic expectations are important.
Raczej nie mam limitów, chociaż ni zamierzam zapłacić więcej niż 50 S. Moje limity z kolei bardziej oznaczają, że nie kupuję hoi w okresie chłodnym, ponieważ wtedy jest duże ryzyko straty rośliny i szkoda każdych pieniędzy. Pozdrawiam
Ja również zdecydowanie zwalniam z zakupami w chłodniejszą pogodę, wtedy wysyłka może być ryzykowna. Nawet z „okładem rozgrzewającym” może być za zimno. Dzięki za oglądanie i dodanie komentarza.
