Regular viewer from Indiana here, I typically watch the same day you post and usually in the evening. I know it'd be an unreasonable amount of work to ask from anyone but I could absolutely watch your content every single day. I truly appreciate the effort and time you put into your extraordinary collection and videos 🙏😌👏
Thanks Tina, I appreciate your enthusiasm. Where in Indiana? I lived in Indianapolis and went to Hanover College, a long time ago. Thanks again, for your kind words, for watching, and adding your comment.
I love that you have “discussions “ with your Hoyas. I always talk to my plants too. They all need to know what is expected of them and give them praise when they’re looking good.
My job involves plenty of travelling, so I don't always watch immediately, but usually within 2-3 days of you posting.Right now it is 00:36 in Germany and I just finished your video (very interesting as always).
Just discovered your channel - viewed Saturday morning in the UK. Really enjoyed it, and will defo view more as it’s refreshing to discover a plant-fluencer who shares the origins, history, helpful facts about the plants - instead of just repeatedly gushing “Omg! OMegosh! I love this so much” at nearly every plant. Thank you!
@@PlantedInRI Still viewing / enjoying your other videos - that most of your collection appear to be growing in ambient temp & humidity / home environment resonates strongly as my entire plant family is spread around my home - I don’t have a cabinet. Also liking your intriguing questions, eg. £spending limits. 😆 #TotallyRelate
I appreciate you watching at whatever time that may be. With morning coffee seems to works for a number of people. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
I just appreciate that you watch. It is fun to imagine that people all over the world are settling down, at about the same time, to watch the video. So, thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Lovely, lovely hoyas you have shown us today. Very healthy & lush looking 👍👍 You arrive early morning on a Saturday in New Zealand & typically I watch when enjoying my morning coffee, it’s a great way to start my day 🫶🏻 🍸🍸🇳🇿🇳🇿
So probably a bit early for a "tasty beverage", but morning coffee does qualify. Thanks, Heather, for your regular watches and comments. They mean a lot.
Thanks, Laura. From the comments it seems as though a lot of folks are watching then as well. It's fun to think that a bunch of people who don't know each other are unknowlingly "getting together" to watch. So, thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Hi from Peg in Charlotte, NC! Typically I watch your content anywhere between Friday and Sunday. I enjoy every minute of your videos and I always look forward to them. Many thanks for all the work and efforts you put in to your content and for sharing your gorgeous Hoyas with us. Take care! 👌🪴🥰
I watch your videos on Saturday morning here in Nairobi, Kenya. It’s always such a treat, I love seeing your beautiful Hoya plants. Thanks for taking the time to share your beautiful plants with us.
I'm happy to share my plant stories with people, we Hoya people love to talk about our plants. Thank you for watching and adding your comments to the discussion.
lol. We do have some great plant shops! I also love Logees as well! I mean nothing fancy in regards to time when watching. It’s fun thinking some are watching on a day we haven’t even started!
I looked up Gisborne on Google Maps - North Island, east coast, Poverty Bay. I've got several Kiwi watchers on the North Island, and I appreciate all you folks. Thanks for watching and adding yoru comment.
I just went to Plants wake you up and ordered some cuttings and one rooted cutting. You are fueling my obsession but thank you very much! I can not wait to get my plants!
Thanks. Based on my viewers, the "tasty beverages" come in all shapes and styles - from smoothies, tea, and coffee to chilled chardonnay and martinis - find the one that works best for you. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Personnellement, vos vidéos sorte pour moi au Québec les vendredi en après-midi. Grâce à vous, j'ai découvert des variétés de hoyas que je connaissais pas. Merci.😊 J'adore votre chaîne UA-cam.
I watch hoya videos over the weekend to keep me company while doing plant and other chores. But I figured out your pattern of Friday afternoon posting and now make a "tasty beverage" after work on Friday and sit down to watch. Thanks for kicking off the weekend for me... and my crassipetiolata is also taking some time to settle in. Hoya gonna do what hoya gonna do. 😄
I’m here in Colorado and a late nighter, so I tend to watch between the hours of 10 pm and 12am mst. Love all your different Hoyas. Wished I was there to share a martini!! 🍸 I like mine like Bond, “shaken not stirred”. lol.
Oh no, in my house they're stirred (gently) and spend some time in the freezer before serving - as little dilution as possible, thank you very much, since that tasty beverage has a job to do. Thanks, Karen, for watching and adding your comment.
Oh lord 😮. You need to pay more attention to these firgotton grandkids😊. I looove that long, big, vieny dakeae 😂. Got to have one of those ❤. I recieve your notification every Friday by 5:15pm in 🇯🇲
I know. They get a little pouty sometimes and don't understand that grandpa's gotta work on videos. H deykeae surprised me so much, and yes, you want one. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The crassiopetellata splash is very pretty. Added to my wish list. Turns out I already had one. So I’m adding to it. I also took some off the list that wee nit ficus and Hoyas.
Lovely Hoyas you have shown us again! I Watch your videos saturday around 01.00. I am always looking forward to a new video of you.😊 By the way I live in the Netherlands.
This Long Island girl is loving your selection. I've given up on hoya sunrise. They just don't last for me, deykeae and nicholsoniae👍🏽a beauty. I had them when I first started getting into hoya so of course watering was an issue. I need to get some hoyas off my list before the weather gets too cold. Thanks for sharing "The Forgotten Ones"! Dee, NY
"...so of course watering was an issue" made me laugh out loud, 'cause we've all been there. I'm not happy about the colder weather either, and I too have been trying to get some last orders in before it gets wicked cold. Thanks, Dee, for watching and adding your comment.
Hi, love your videos, and your Hoyas are amazing. I have a lot of varieties but it’s always nice to learn about a new one I haven’t yet heard of. I watch in the weekend you upload, your neighbor on Long Island NY🪴.
I watch videos for the same reason - to learn about ones I haven't heard of. Gotta keep that wish list full. Thanks, Elizabeth, for watching and adding your comment.
The MA-03 looks like Hoya black margin. I watch your videos on Friday about 6:30 your time, 5:30 my time. (I’m central time zone) I’ve got a question for you…do you foliar spray your Hoyas? I started foliar spraying with a diluted orchid fertilizer. I think it helps but maybe it’s just my imagination. 🤷🏻♀️ what are your thoughts on foliar spraying Hoyas? Maybe a video topic? Have a good weekend! I always enjoy your videos! I love your personality!
It does resemble H verticillata (black margin), which makes me thing there is some verticillata in it, or that they are related. Foliar sprays... When I had most of my Hoyas in a bark/sphag type organic mix I used a foliar spray (either pre-made or homemade) regularly, and I think the plants appreciated it. When I began using pon, I started using a hydroponoic nutrient solution for those plants, and then I got lazy and started using the nutrient solution for most everybody. So if the plant are in an organic mix or soil-based mix, I'd use a foliar spray, unless you're using a nutrient solution for them. If they're in pon, they should be getting planty of nutrients through the solution. As always, thanks for watching and adding your comment.
And I forgot to mention that I’m like you , I forgot about some plants too and when I realized they are growing in the window 😂with big leaves 🪴🥰🤦🏼♀️🤯😅
I have a Crassi Splash and she grows so slow compared to my regular Crassi. I thought it was just me. The difference in my 2 plants is drastic just like yours.
It seems that there are a good number of people, all over, joining you on Friday evenings. That's so cool. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
This just showed up n my feed tonight. Buffalo hoya fan! I am pretty new to hoyas but I have always read that they do not like wet feet! Now I am so confused! I just subscribed and am looking forward to seeing all your videos!
Glad you're here. So, I understand your confusion, it's the roots in the water, right? It's not that Hoyas hate having wet roots, it's that they don't like a "suffocating" mixture. Hoyas grow in parts of the world that are typically warm and moist, some places get rain every day. Hoya roots, in cultivation, need a very airy mix. Hoyas are primarily epiphytic, meaning that they typically don't grow in soil, and their roots get a lot of air circulation - similar to orchids. I think of it this way: Hoyas very often grow on the sides of trees, and there isn't much soil on the side of a tree. There is a lot of air. Their roots will seek out caches of water and make the most of them, it's what roots do. The best Hoya mixes hold moisture, but not water, and are airy (as opposed to chunky). There's a lot of "less than good" Hoya advice out there - 'Hoyas hate wet feet' - so take everything with a grain of salt. Ask a lot of questions - Hoya people love to talk about their plants - then decide if it makes sense to you. Thanks for watching.
My obovata has put out two peduncles that seem to have gone nothing since I noticed them. Then I remember how long it took to grow the obovata to the size that it is.
My H deykeae is growing in ambient humidity - I don't have any cabinets or grow tents - so in the 50-60% range. It might appreciate higher humidity, but that's not happening in the Hoya room. Thanks for watching and adding your comment
I’m watching videos all day but for some reason it won’t show you in the list of people I follow. I have to search for you. But today is Sunday and it’s the first time I’ve seen it.
Hello I just came across your channel, former fellow Rhode Islander here, just living a few minutes away, just curious if you sell clippings on the side? Thank you for all your information❤
I do, from time to time, sell some cuttings. I've tried through FB marketplace, but that hasn't worked as well as expected. I'm on the lookout for a better selling venue. I'm glad you found the channel, and thanks neighbor for watching and adding your comment.
My H deykeae is planted in generic pon and a self-watering pot, and is fed with a hydroponic solution. It grows in ambient conditions - temps 65ºF-75ºF and humidity of 50-60% - and gets twelve to thirteen hours of grow light a day. I hope this helps and thanks for watching and asking your question.
I have already gone beyond my range when I purchased Thai Cons and elbows with other plants. My new red flag is that have to look very Rey different from a plant I own.
Enjoying the video! I have 2 Crassipetiolata splash; one small plant in a cabinet anda larger specimen in ambient w/o supplemental light. What conditions is yours under? Thanks
I don't have any cabinets, so mine are all in ambient temps and humidity (usually about 65-70ºF and 50% humidity). They are under, or near, grow lights, and both in wick-based, self-watering. Now that the H crassipetiolata (splash) has found the reservoir, I'm hoping it'll take off. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.
I wach your videos in the afternoon like at 7:00pm on Friday night of the weekend I I’m Texas and I like your Hoyas ,such a beautiful plants they are so pretty and well cared, I would like to try self watering but I’m scared. I like the pots you used for the Hoyas is the perfect size .Do you have that kind of pot that you used on your Amazon store ? .Because I don’t find them anywhere
If you'd like to try self-watering, start small. Pick one plant, or purchase a plant for the experiment. Don't move your entire collection to self-watering at once, get a bit of experience first. A note: if you're using a soil-based growing medium, self-watering may not be the best set-up for you. The soil will probably stay too wet for the hoyas to be happy. I find a really airy ("airy" is the important part) mix or pon works best with self-watering. Those pots are in my Amazon storefront, and here's the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07PW4TZ8C?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzrods.oco-20&creativeASIN=B07PW4TZ8C&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.3V719EH4AOVHY&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_d_f_asin&th=1
Hi there, happy week´s end to you too. Living in Germany, I know your videos go online around 10pm, but often times I´ll be in bed by then, so I usually watch Saturday mornings. I´ve got a question for you: how do you repot a plant with all those roots in the reservoir? Do you cut them or do you try to pull them through the holes?
I cut or pull through, depending on the roots themselves. In cases where there is a mass of roots, it's cut. Since I use self-watering almost exclusively, I tend to use a larger pot from the beginning so that I need to up-pot less often. Thanks, Sandra, for watching and commenting.
Thanks for being so informative. My Sunrise will not stress! I had it under a 10W Sansi bulb (10"), after a few weeks I moved the light closer and in about a week, I burned it. The last few weeks it is under 10 W Barrina T8 3' lights (2). It is growing like crazy. It won't even get a little blush. Could It not be a Sunrise? It looks like one To the T. Any Ideas? I watch on Friday nights in NJ.
It's a combination of the "strength" of the light and the duration of the light. You didn't mention how long the lights are on. Mine is growing under two twenty-four watt lights that are on for between twelve and thirteen hours a day. Perhaps try increasing the "on" time to thirteen to fourteen hours. Thanks for watching and including your "watch time".
@@PlantedInRI Thanks for answering. My lights are on the same amount as yours, but they are not 24 watts. I am getting new shelving and 24W in the near future. Hopefully that helps. Hope you have a good evening.
The letters are parts of the accession or acquisition numbers that are used by botanists to identify a found plant until it is determined whether or not it is a unique species. Even if the plant is found to be part of an existant species, the letters/numbers are often used as part of the plant name to identify a specific clone of that species. They are also used by people who create hybrids to identify that specific plant, for much the same reason. An accession number should never be added to the name of a plant if it did not come with that number, and if it did come with an accession number, it should be maintained as part of the plant name. Thanks for your comment.
I didn’t hear or pay attention to the question of my plant price limit. For me it’s generally $50 and I can buy more plants up to $200. But occasionally I’ll se one that’s around $70-80 and then I o many that one or go to $$100. Not really a firm limit, lol 😂
No, those are simply some of the most common/popular species in the Hoya community. There are some 500+ species of Hoya in the world, and more are being discovered, which is why use of the actual plant name - rather than nicknames - is so important.
My Kiwi and Aussia watchers are about as far away from where I am as one could get; you folks are, quite literally, on the other side of the world. I am amazed and grateful that people from "away over there" watch my videos. Thanks so much for watching and adding your comment.

If you hadn't noticed, I do appreciate a certain amount of "silly" in my life. Thanks, Kathryn, for your regular watches and comments.
You are teaching me about Hoyas I’ve never heard of but certainly want to learn more and getting. I like that you tell about what makes it happy.
I am living in the Netherlands and I watch the video saturday morning at breakfast.
Thanks, Leo, for watching, adding your comment, and having breakfast with me.
I'm a regular viewer from Poland, usually watch it on Saturday morning about 9 AM. Best regards.

Deykeae has stunning leaves.
I usually catch you on Friday evenings while I'm making supper. Same time zone as you.
That's cool, Kathleen. It seems most folks have a "routine" for their watching, I know I do. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Upstate NY. I watch Friday evenings while making supper.
Hanging out in the kitchen - one of my favorite places. Thanks.
I’m in California and watch your video usually right after you post it. I’m a Hoya head too so I really look forward to your videos.
Thanks for the kind words and for hanging out on Fridays - I usually watch my videos on Friday, too, Thanks for adding your comments.
Hi I’m in Florida and just started watching. I watch any day of the week in the morning 😊 Looking forward to watching more!
I'm glad you found the channel. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.

Hello I just came across your channel, former fellow Rhode Islander here, just living a few minutes away, just curious if you sell clippings on the side? Thank you for all your information❤
I do, from time to time, sell some cuttings. I've tried through FB marketplace, but that hasn't worked as well as expected. I'm on the lookout for a better selling venue. I'm glad you found the channel, and thanks neighbor for watching and adding your comment.
You have a really nice hoya deykeae. I am wondering if you can share how you grow her so nicely. I am struggling with growing her😢.
My H deykeae is planted in generic pon and a self-watering pot, and is fed with a hydroponic solution. It grows in ambient conditions - temps 65ºF-75ºF and humidity of 50-60% - and gets twelve to thirteen hours of grow light a day. I hope this helps and thanks for watching and asking your question.
Maybe a video about all your corner plants. Lol 😂
I have already gone beyond my range when I purchased Thai Cons and elbows with other plants. My new red flag is that have to look very Rey different from a plant I own.
I do much the same, I look for plants that don't look like plants I have. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
Enjoying the video! I have 2 Crassipetiolata splash; one small plant in a cabinet anda larger specimen in ambient w/o supplemental light. What conditions is yours under? Thanks
I don't have any cabinets, so mine are all in ambient temps and humidity (usually about 65-70ºF and 50% humidity). They are under, or near, grow lights, and both in wick-based, self-watering. Now that the H crassipetiolata (splash) has found the reservoir, I'm hoping it'll take off. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.
Your Hoya collection is so beautiful. Do you sell
Thanks. I do sometimes sell cuttings, though I need to find a better venue to do so. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
@ ok. don’t know if you know about plamstreet but maybe you can look into it.
I wach your videos in the afternoon like at 7:00pm on Friday night of the weekend I I’m Texas and I like your Hoyas ,such a beautiful plants they are so pretty and well cared, I would like to try self watering but I’m scared. I like the pots you used for the Hoyas is the perfect size .Do you have that kind of pot that you used on your Amazon store ? .Because I don’t find them anywhere
If you'd like to try self-watering, start small. Pick one plant, or purchase a plant for the experiment. Don't move your entire collection to self-watering at once, get a bit of experience first. A note: if you're using a soil-based growing medium, self-watering may not be the best set-up for you. The soil will probably stay too wet for the hoyas to be happy. I find a really airy ("airy" is the important part) mix or pon works best with self-watering.
Those pots are in my Amazon storefront, and here's the link:

Hi there, happy week´s end to you too. Living in Germany, I know your videos go online around 10pm, but often times I´ll be in bed by then, so I usually watch Saturday mornings.
I´ve got a question for you: how do you repot a plant with all those roots in the reservoir? Do you cut them or do you try to pull them through the holes?
I cut or pull through, depending on the roots themselves. In cases where there is a mass of roots, it's cut. Since I use self-watering almost exclusively, I tend to use a larger pot from the beginning so that I need to up-pot less often. Thanks, Sandra, for watching and commenting.
Thanks for being so informative. My Sunrise will not stress! I had it under a 10W Sansi bulb (10"), after a few weeks I moved the light closer and in about a week, I burned it. The last few weeks it is under 10 W Barrina T8 3' lights (2). It is growing like crazy. It won't even get a little blush. Could It not be a Sunrise? It looks like one To the T. Any Ideas? I watch on Friday nights in NJ.
It's a combination of the "strength" of the light and the duration of the light. You didn't mention how long the lights are on. Mine is growing under two twenty-four watt lights that are on for between twelve and thirteen hours a day. Perhaps try increasing the "on" time to thirteen to fourteen hours. Thanks for watching and including your "watch time".
@@PlantedInRI Thanks for answering. My lights are on the same amount as yours, but they are not 24 watts. I am getting new shelving and 24W in the near future. Hopefully that helps. Hope you have a good evening.
I’ve heard the initials are hybrids or newly discovered plants of the person who did, or discovered it first.
The letters are parts of the accession or acquisition numbers that are used by botanists to identify a found plant until it is determined whether or not it is a unique species. Even if the plant is found to be part of an existant species, the letters/numbers are often used as part of the plant name to identify a specific clone of that species. They are also used by people who create hybrids to identify that specific plant, for much the same reason. An accession number should never be added to the name of a plant if it did not come with that number, and if it did come with an accession number, it should be maintained as part of the plant name. Thanks for your comment.
I think I’ve seen it do it sale as deykee.
You may have, but the accepted name is Hoya deykeae.
I didn’t hear or pay attention to the question of my plant price limit. For me it’s generally $50 and I can buy more plants up to $200. But occasionally I’ll se one that’s around $70-80 and then I o many that one or go to $$100. Not really a firm limit, lol 😂
I thought everything was either Carnosa or lacunosa.
No, those are simply some of the most common/popular species in the Hoya community. There are some 500+ species of Hoya in the world, and more are being discovered, which is why use of the actual plant name - rather than nicknames - is so important.
Kiwi here (Christchurch), Saturday 10:00 am
My Kiwi and Aussia watchers are about as far away from where I am as one could get; you folks are, quite literally, on the other side of the world. I am amazed and grateful that people from "away over there" watch my videos. Thanks so much for watching and adding your comment.
