    It is interesting that you say Pybicalyx blooms faster than a Carnosa. I experience the opposite. My Carnosa is a giant plant and well experienced in blooming. If I recall correctly it took me 2 years to bloom (Was over a decade ago). My Pybicalyx is 4 or 5 years now and simply won't bloom 🤷‍♀️ I tried everything, varied light exposure etc. Nothing. Grows like a weed and is too large and heavy for my taste, but no blooms so far. I did spot a few peduncles, but I won't hold my breath. Last year there were peduncles, too and she killed them all off one by one. My Carnosa doesn't do that. Moreover, the Compacta recently opened its first bloom (after 3 years?) and it's the most precious, most beautiful flower ever. Hoya Australis took me around 5 years to finally flower 🤷‍♀️
    Favourite fast cheap and out of control: Carnosa :)

    • @soberplantguy
      @soberplantguy  Місяць тому

      Wow! I think that's a pretty unusual sequence of events, but truly it just goes to show. There is no one "This is how it is" in the world of Hoya. My australis has given me plenty of peduncles, but like your pubicalyx, no flowers to date. I think it's around 2 yrs old. Hope I don't have to wait another 3 😁

      I may be mistaken here, but aren't all, or most, jewell orchids terrestrial growers? In any case, you bet. For my dendrobian, for instance, I cut out the coco coir and add a little moss. For a jewell, more coco than usual. Thanks for the good question!

  • @amymarshall1829

    I swore I would never get a Sansevieria, so now I have three. Of course. A Zeylanica, a Moonshine, and a little Hahnii. I'm surprised myself by how much I appreciate the architectural value of the two big ones in my home. I tend to be a more-is-more kinda person with color (though I don't really care for golden variegation), so my go-to gift plants are aglaonemas, particularly the wider leaf varieties. Though I am apparently incapable of walking by a pink ag without buying it (except the Siams, which I don't like), I usually buy ags with white variegation, like Spring Snow, for friends. (I don't push my pink agenda on others. haha.) They are pretty and easy and a little bit different than the plants that most non-planty people would be used to seeing. But I've gifted some hoyas, too, of course.

    Such great options for beginners!
    And of course yours would be looking so amazingly lush and full, curtains 😂
    Personally I wouldnt recommend non trailing Hoyas…
    Here comes the story.
    During the Covid lockdowns here I propagated my Syngonium Pink Spot vines into lots of plantlets. Then those plantlets were dropped off at friends, neigbours and relatives doors as gifts. Now, years later, I still get questions about what to do with the vines 😅
    Hoyas make way more vines and if they are not trellised and therefore dont make new leaves a beginning plant parent might get stressed about them.
    The people around me need more ‘coaching’ for plants that need more than water and a yearly repot 😉
    However…. I have a plan to spread the Hoyas around as well 😏
    Get them into the trailing ones… and then one day show up with an already trellised one… have them get used to dealing with that… and then come the cuttings 😊
    Plants need to be shared, spread the joy! 🌸🌱
