Thanks for the informative video! Good ideas for soil mixture.👍
Using this mix on some of my Hoyas😊thanks for sharing good mix. I can’t wait the next new video💖
That looks like a good mix…😊
Thank you!
I am a heavy handed heavy waterer with way too much love for my hoyas, so I am afraid of vermiculite- my nngg arrived in vermiculite and I found it very difficult since the roots rotted. Thankfully I just re-rooted it again in pon. After trialing out several mixes I realised cactus mix with bark of various sizes, zeolite, charcoal and a lot of perlite is the way to go for me. The past month I also made holes around the pot like you and that has worked wonders on the two plant I kept rotting.
Thank you for showing us how you repot aswell since until now I always waited they were rootbound. I get paranoid😅
Oh no! NGG is such a difficult Hoya for me. I’m glad yours is doing well after the reroot. Good airflow is key as well. Your mix sounds excellent!
@@annieshoyajungle thank you😁
Bonjour Annie, merci pour cette vidéo! perso je n'utilise pas la vermiculite. Mon mélange pour hoya se compose de terreau à semis, écorces de pin, coco chips, fibre de coco , perlite ou seramis et biochar. A cela, j 'ajoute du bat guano et du lombricompost pour engrais. Mes hoyas sont en pot en terre et reposent sur un lit de coco humide, cela semble leur convenir. J'habite en Provence dans le sud de la France , il fait souvent beau et chaud. A bientôt
It’s so wonderful mix.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks for your time.
It’s nice to see you.
Thank you for watching!
My medium looks like yours, but I add worm castings, crushed oyster shells, and coarse perlite. No vermiculite.
That sounds like a great mix!
Did you know coco coir has to be charged otherwise the plant will not be able to uptake nutrients. Your coco coir needs to say it’s double washed or rinsed and PH balanced. If not you need to do that. I used coir for my philodendrons and repotted over a dozen and they all got root rot because the coir was not rinsed and had so much sludge in it it suffocated my roots. I learned this the hard way and then after research learned this. Most people don’t know this or tell people. People that grow cannabis and hydroponics are the ones that have used coir and can explain it well.
Yes! I should’ve explained further in the video but it does matter which brand of coco coir you buy. This one is organic so they don’t use harsh chemicals and they wash it multiple times and is also pH balanced.
I’ve used this specific brand of coco coir with all of my Hoyas and have not had any issue with root rot yet. Thank you so much for explaining that ☺️
@@annieshoyajungle I’ve heard bliss was a good brand. It also applies to the coco chips also.
Wow! Good to know! Thanks for sharing
@@planttherapy1860 yes. I went back and looked and the brand bliss in coir and chips are both washed and ph balanced
@@Horsewoman-pt2ku I have some coco chips that I will check.
I have been using fox farm ocean forest soil since I started with my hoyas. I have good growth but I am not sure if they are thriving in it. I do mix it with the same better grow orchid mix that you use and I also add some more perlite. Most of them have not grown any flowers but are growing leaves. Thanks for sharing this mix I think I will be trying it. How do you fertilize in this mix and do your hoyas bloom in this mix ?
Hi! I’ve heard great things about Fox Farm ocean forest but I’ve never tried it myself.
For my mix, I fertilize with every watering which consists of Dyna Pro Foliage Pro and Bloom City Cal/Mag. I have had plenty of my Hoyas bloom in this mix. The key is to make sure you don’t let it dry out completely and to also give your Hoya a lot of light to help encourage blooms.
@annieshoyajungle Thank you so much for the tips ! I am definitely going ro have to try some of them. I am thinking that it might have to do with the lighting. None of my hoyas have any sun stressing so it might be the lighting. Ty
@annieshoyajungle I don't remember if you said how often do you water in that mix ? Do you have to let the plant sit and soak or do you just water from the top?
Where are you located? What is your climate?
@rhodealexandre6583 I live in NJ and it gets pretty cold in the winter and very hot in the summer.
Hi Annie. I like your mix and the soilless idea however what is your climate, where do you live? If you do not mind me asking.
Hi! I live in the south so it’s hot and humid in the summer time and cold in the winter. I do keep my Hoyas either in the grow tent or the ikea cabinet so there is some type of humidity and extra light for the colder winter days.
@@annieshoyajungle thank you
