I kept nodding in agreement. Fairly new to hoyas, my first bloom (just fading now) is a davidcumingii "yellow flower". Bought the plant together with a bunch of other hoyas at a succulent and cactea nurcery as a filler basically, and boy did it suprise me! It has become from a space filler to a firm favourite in less than 4 months. The hoya carnosa (the normal one and the compacta), the kentiana, the callistophylla, I have these and agree with you on ease of growing. Probably would add the Hoya memoria/gracilis. Very fast and no fuss grower in normal room temperature and light, at least for me. And the multiflora has been on the list for a while, just haven't found anything of acceptable size and price yet. Already wrote once but no harm in repeating: greetings from Munich, Germany
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your channel! Whenever I have a Hoya question I come to your videos! You are such a wealth of cherishable knowledge. When I got the notification about this video I was at my favorite plant store in Bismarck North Dakota with two hoyas in hand! One not on either list, Hoya latifolia and the other on your next list Hoya compacta. I have a collection largely made up of philodendrons and epipremnums but hoyas are definitely finding their way into my collection of over 120 plants.
Thanks for your kind words, I'm glad if the videos are helpful. Two good choices for Hoyas, they are very much fun. Thanks for watching and adding your comment
Interesting choices! 😊 Ill keep some of these in mind the next time someone asks I see a lot of people on UA-cam struggle with Hoya Lacunosa types and Hoya Bella, personally I have no issues with those plants at all, but it would make me hesitate to recommend them to someone who is just getting into Hoyas (unless I rooted the plantlets for them) (There is also Hoya Bella with fully white flower and a mutation of the variegated one that people like to call sandwich in case you want more of them 😅) If someone has no Hoyas but is into houseplants… Id suggest some Hoyas that grow easily, look “different” yet pleasing to the eye (leaf and growstructure wise) for people who are not into Hoyas yet, good appetizers If a friend or family member were to ask me which I would recommend to them, I think I would give them rooted plantlets of: - Hoya Carnosa Wilbur Graves - Hoya Caudata Sumatra - Hoya Heushkeliana inner variegated - Hoya Krohniana silver or Hoya Lacunosa Louisas silver or Hoya Rebecca - Hoya Latifolia pot of gold (Maybe Hoya Calycina, Hoya Flores Island UT-039 or Hoya UT-033) And would recommend Hoya Multiflora 😊 Watching from the Mid-South of The Netherlands (Europe) (province Noord-Brabant, but in the west of that 😅)
Nope, don't need any more H bellas - LOL. Some good suggestions. Usually if folks are struggling with H bella or H lacunosa there's some issues with the basic set-up, or with their approach to growing Hoyas in general, and it's good to get those resolved before moving to on some "pricier" Hoyas. H lacunosa and H bella can bloom early on, and there's nothing more rewarding that your first Hoya bloom. Thanks for watching and adding your comment
Thanks. I know, I saw the forcast for y'all, stay safe. Hope the power stays on. Thanks for watching. Now I'm off to watch your video about rescue orchids, of which I have several, 'cause who doesn't see them in the store and think "I can fix that".
...and that's a shame, 'cause if someone wants to "try out" Orchids, the discount shelf at a big box store is the place to start, and you warned them what to look out for and what to do when it comes home.
Hello from Moscow, Russia. I really like your channel and your hoya collection. I sincerely congratulate you and your family on the upcoming Christmas and New Year, and I wish you an expansion of your collection and that it brings you only joy and happiness!
I live in West Seneca-outside of Buffalo NY. I just received my Hoya Swiffers Tail this week and it is crazy looking and I love it! I am going to be the odd one out by saying I grow Hoyas for the foliage. If they flower that is great and if not that is fine too! I have about 40 varirties and I love them all! They are mostly young ones and I love watching them grow!
I never expected any of my Hoyas to bloom, so I, too, grew them for the foliage. Then I got my first bloom, and it bloomed again, and then another one, and now I grow for both - foliage and flowers. Thanks for watching and commenting with your location.
My first Hoya was Argentea Princess…just jumped in head first. Acquired my Lacunosas later on. I always enjoy your videos! I am located in Schertz, Texas! It’s slightly North of San Antonio.
@ Yes, it is! It took forever for it to give me some growth but she’s finally giving me some vines with new leaves. Root system looks good. I purchased one for my daughter and hers has unfortunately reverted. I think she just cut it back to see if it’ll grow back.
I have questions about H. decipulae. I've always shied away from thin-leaf Hoya but this one intrigues me. Can it be kept short with pruning? Can it support itself without a stake? Does it get woody at the base? Does it vine? Would you say a typical aroid mix would work? What remarkable flowers! And those leaves are very unique. Your H. retusa...goals! Mine is recovering from a too-dry mix. Peppering you with questions from Rome, Georgia, US.
OK... I think H decipulae could be kept shorter through pruning, though I haven't yet pruned mine. It might get bushier, which could be a plus or a minus. It can support itself, somewhat, but tends to arch out to the sides and would take up more horizontal room than I choose to give it - real estate is at a premium in the plant room. It might get woody at the base, but mine has not, so far. The mix for H decipulae might depend upon the container, mine is in self-watering. H decipulae does not want to dry out and seems to like an airy mix - maybe whatever you're using for your H retusa. Thanks for watching, asking your questions, and including your location.
Santa Barbara California. I agree with you on your choice of Hoya. It has been my experience also. Now I am actively looking for the decipulae. You are drinking from a stemless glass today 😊.
You noticed. I love the stemmed glasses, but these looked a bit more stable (something here needs to be) and I've had a couple of close calls with the traditional glasses. I'll see how they work out. Thanks for watching and including your location.
I am upstairs in my "cuddle room" enjoying the cool weather, I answered this before and so this is repetitive for you - Johnstown Colorado - love all your videos. Hey, what is your favorite color? I was teasing Sober Plant guy about his favorite color (purple) and told him that I would lose all faith in people if your fav is either Red or Purple. PLEASE........... don't let it be one of those two colors. 😛
For the last decade I've been in a green phase, in more than just plants, so I guess your faith in people is safe for the time being. Thanks for watching and Including your location and be nice to SPG.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this video - thank you so much for your efforts in putting this great & very helpful information for us 🫶🏻 I live in the north island of New Zealand. We have retired here in the small town of Waihi known for its silver & gold mine. Extremely friendly here & we are only about 15 minutes by car away from a fabulous beach (Waihi Beach). We are now enjoying the beginning of our summer ☀️☀️☀️
Heather, I'm just a little bit jealous about the start of your summer. It was 21°F/-6°C here this morning, and while I'm a New Englander and we pride ourselves on getting through our winters, it doesn't mean we like it. Thanks for your regular watches and comments, and for adding your location.
Well, you're not. I have an H carnosa 'Krinkle 8' and it's one of my favorites, it's big and it blooms regularly. Some people have told me that it's difficult to find, and I don't see it offered very often. Maybe we need to talk it up more. Thanks for watching, wave to my cousins in Laval.
Thank you for an inspiring and informative year; I gain so much useful knowledge (and wishlist plants😏) from your content and I'm really excited for what's to come next year! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Eaton, Indiana 💚☃️🎄🎁🥂🍾🎇
Love all of your videos, they are informative and entertaining at the same time☺️.Perfect timing, I ordered a lacanosa mint coin from Etsy today, it was a wish list plant for me. I agree, I hav3 several varieties and they are so easy care. I have the Asami also, it’s beautiful. Who doesn’t love the Bella? Great choice to include it. Yours is goals 🥹. Love Logees, we try to go once every few months. Shakespeares Garden in Ct is incredible for Hoyas too🤗. Long Island( Suffolk county) NY🎉
Another great video, thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge and joy with us. Just started growing hoyas this year and quickly have 13 in my care. No blooms yet, what your tip? Mississauga, Ontario
Different things (temperature, light, etc.) trigger blooming for different Hoyas, so there's no one answer. Give them a good set-up (container and mix), good light, regular acess to moisture, and feed 'em. Hoyas do appreciate regular feeding. Let us know how they're doing. Thanks for watching and adding your comment and location.
Always admiring the shelf right behind you. I have a similar one, but don’t think it’s as tall. My shelves seem closer together and make it more challenging for my taller plants. Would you please give a quick tutorial/description on the set up? Love your content and look forward to each installment. Happy Holidays from (just 40 minutes away) from Louisville, Kentucky.
It's a standard six-foot wire shelf set that I get from a local discount chain of stores. I don't remember if is comes with five or six shelves, but for the set behind me I only used four of them. For the other shelf sets in the plant room I only used three shelves. I ran a twenty-four inch wide strip of garden fencing down the center of the back, from top to bottom, using zip ties. Let me ponder making a vidoe about their creation and see what I come up with. Thanks for watching and sharing your location. Which direction from Louisville? I lived in southern Indiana for years.
@ I bought a similar thru Big Box-not overly expensive. Think I’ll need to get another one and not put as many shelves on the unit-like you have done. Obviously giving me more height for my larger plants. Thanks for your response. Southern Indiana, huh? Well, if you know where Corydon is, we live across the Ohio about 15 miles SW. BUT, I’m a Louisville native. Happy Holidays.
Very interesting video . Thank you for that. Great looking Hoyas. I live in the Netherlands in the beautiful European city of the year 2024: Amersfoort
Sveiki, Vilniuje. H bella doesn't want to dry out, so a self-watering pot with either pon or an airy, organic mix really helps. What seems to be going wrong with yours? Thanks for watching and commenting with your location.
@ Cuttings of the bella do well in the prop box. But when transferred to a pot they start to go downhill. They have always been potted up in a self watering pot with either pon or chunky mix. I had the pot near a south facing window, away from the window, even next to a north facing window, they just slowly die. This summer I kept it on my covered south facing patio where it seemed to do better. But as soon as I moved it inside, then downhill! I think that I just can’t get the sweet spot lighting conditions for it.
Hmmm, that does sound frustrating. It sounds as though you're doing everything an H bella would want. A couple of thoughts: have you tried cuttings from a different plant? It sounds odd, but sometimes some individual plants are just difficult. Have you checked/treated for flat mites or other pests? I'm guessing that you have, but thought I'd ask. Let me think about it some more and see if anything comes to mind.
I kept my multiflora in my west facing window I till this fall and I couldn’t close my blinds down on it. Didn’t bother me in-the spring and summer. Now it’s on the floor.
What about Hoya pubicalyx? It's an easy Hoya, it does well both cold and heat, and isn't demanding with the soil. I think it could be a great option for beginners 🌿🌸 By the way, I am watching from San Lorenzo de El Escorial -> Madrid -> Spain ☺
I love my H pubicalyx, but they are not quick bloomers, and I wanted new Hoyaheads to get blooms early on - that was an important factor for the list. When you get a Hoya to bloom for the first time, you're hooked, and it gives you the best reinforcement. Thanks for watching and including your location in your comment.
What about pubicalyx?? I got a small one and it went berserk. I have to chop it constantly. Yeah, doesn't bloom right away, but is a rest as a carnosa. I'm in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. A northern suburb of Milwaukee.
I love my H pubicalyx, too, but "bloomability" was an important factor for the list. As you mentioned, it doesn't bloom early on, and I chose plants that would give new Hoyaheads that reinforcement. Thanks for watching, adding your location and your suggestion.
I guess I just have to say it. I have several surviving Hoyas. I'm just one of those guys that doesn't get the hype. Please explain the obsession. Jack of all trades master of none.
It seems, among people who grow plants, that certain types of plants appeal to certain people; and that some people are more successful with some than with others. I can't grow Succulents, don't do well with Aroids, and I'll never buy another Fern. Maybe Hoyas aren't "your plant". But, just maybe, you haven't found the species of Hoya that appeals to you. I was "unconvinced" about Hoyas until they started growing for me, and when the first one bloomed, it was all over. If you're struggling with your Hoyas, ask questions, talk to folks. Hoyaheads are happy to share their addiction and their experiences. There's a lot of mis-information out there about Hoyas, but we're here to help. Thanks for watching.
I have this one on my wish list. I imported one and it arrived with frost bite. No heat pack at all. I’ll order next spring this time.

@PlantedInRI you're so welcome! You should write a book on Hoyas: care, requirements, level of difficulty, etc 😁
Interesting choices! 😊
Ill keep some of these in mind the next time someone asks
I see a lot of people on UA-cam struggle with Hoya Lacunosa types and Hoya Bella, personally I have no issues with those plants at all, but it would make me hesitate to recommend them to someone who is just getting into Hoyas (unless I rooted the plantlets for them)
(There is also Hoya Bella with fully white flower and a mutation of the variegated one that people like to call sandwich in case you want more of them 😅)
If someone has no Hoyas but is into houseplants…
Id suggest some Hoyas that grow easily, look “different” yet pleasing to the eye (leaf and growstructure wise) for people who are not into Hoyas yet, good appetizers
If a friend or family member were to ask me which I would recommend to them, I think I would give them rooted plantlets of:
- Hoya Carnosa Wilbur Graves
- Hoya Caudata Sumatra
- Hoya Heushkeliana inner variegated
- Hoya Krohniana silver or Hoya Lacunosa Louisas silver or Hoya Rebecca
- Hoya Latifolia pot of gold
(Maybe Hoya Calycina, Hoya Flores Island UT-039 or Hoya UT-033)
And would recommend Hoya Multiflora 😊

@ I bought a similar thru Big Box-not overly expensive. Think I’ll need to get another one and not put as many shelves on the unit-like you have done. Obviously giving me more height for my larger plants. Thanks for your response. Southern Indiana, huh? Well, if you know where Corydon is, we live across the Ohio about 15 miles SW. BUT, I’m a Louisville native. Happy Holidays.

Interesting that lacunosa all bloom with the same flower.
I need another retusa. Mine got dry rot and I didn’t find out until too late and at the time I didn’t know what to do for it.

For me the green bella is just so difficult to grow. From Vilnius, Lithuania!
Sveiki, Vilniuje. H bella doesn't want to dry out, so a self-watering pot with either pon or an airy, organic mix really helps. What seems to be going wrong with yours? Thanks for watching and commenting with your location.
@ Cuttings of the bella do well in the prop box. But when transferred to a pot they start to go downhill. They have always been potted up in a self watering pot with either pon or chunky mix. I had the pot near a south facing window, away from the window, even next to a north facing window, they just slowly die. This summer I kept it on my covered south facing patio where it seemed to do better. But as soon as I moved it inside, then downhill! I think that I just can’t get the sweet spot lighting conditions for it.
Hmmm, that does sound frustrating. It sounds as though you're doing everything an H bella would want. A couple of thoughts: have you tried cuttings from a different plant? It sounds odd, but sometimes some individual plants are just difficult. Have you checked/treated for flat mites or other pests? I'm guessing that you have, but thought I'd ask. Let me think about it some more and see if anything comes to mind.

How cool that you're meeting "neighbors". Thanks for watching and adding your location.
Will bright light hurt the Bella? Like a grow light on it?
It probably won't hurt it, but I think it does a bit better without it; although the inner variegated might appreciate it.
Very beautiful Hoyas love you channel very informative videos thank you so much 🫶🏻
I kept my multiflora in my west facing window I till this fall and I couldn’t close my blinds down on it. Didn’t bother me in-the spring and summer. Now it’s on the floor.

Hello from Revelstoke BC Canada! ⛷️

What about Hoya pubicalyx? It's an easy Hoya, it does well both cold and heat, and isn't demanding with the soil. I think it could be a great option for beginners 🌿🌸
By the way, I am watching from San Lorenzo de El Escorial -> Madrid -> Spain ☺
I love my H pubicalyx, but they are not quick bloomers, and I wanted new Hoyaheads to get blooms early on - that was an important factor for the list. When you get a Hoya to bloom for the first time, you're hooked, and it gives you the best reinforcement. Thanks for watching and including your location in your comment.
What about pubicalyx?? I got a small one and it went berserk. I have to chop it constantly. Yeah, doesn't bloom right away, but is a rest as a carnosa. I'm in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. A northern suburb of Milwaukee.
I love my H pubicalyx, too, but "bloomability" was an important factor for the list. As you mentioned, it doesn't bloom early on, and I chose plants that would give new Hoyaheads that reinforcement. Thanks for watching, adding your location and your suggestion.
I guess I just have to say it. I have several surviving Hoyas. I'm just one of those guys that doesn't get the hype. Please explain the obsession. Jack of all trades master of none.
It seems, among people who grow plants, that certain types of plants appeal to certain people; and that some people are more successful with some than with others. I can't grow Succulents, don't do well with Aroids, and I'll never buy another Fern. Maybe Hoyas aren't "your plant". But, just maybe, you haven't found the species of Hoya that appeals to you. I was "unconvinced" about Hoyas until they started growing for me, and when the first one bloomed, it was all over. If you're struggling with your Hoyas, ask questions, talk to folks. Hoyaheads are happy to share their addiction and their experiences. There's a lot of mis-information out there about Hoyas, but we're here to help. Thanks for watching.
I want a wayetii variegated ones.
