Hi! My name is Annie and I absolutely love collecting Hoya! I started collecting plants in 2018 but it was nothing as serious as what I have now. At first, I didn't understand the hype behind Hoyas and why everyone was so obsessed with them. I even went out of my way to NOT buy them when I would see them at my local nurseries. Then one day, I see a beautiful Krimson Princess, and the rest is history.
If you love Hoya, stick around and watch my ever-growing collection. I talk about my Hoya care, the different types of Hoya I add to my collection and much more!

love the videos ! question do you always use the same mix of coir , vermiculite and bark. for all Hoyas even the small ones? and what substrate do you prefer to propagate small leaf Hoyas?
Muchachaaaa....love your big leaf hoyas...so impressive ❤...also sooooo relaxing 😌 I love that! Congratulations 🎊 👏 for being one of the best! I also enjoy My Petite Garden ☺️ super relaxing and so much knowledge ❤
Hi! Thanks for your feedback ☺️ I follow April at Unsolicited Plant Talks and she is of the opinion that Hoyas are generally not affected by copper. My copper trellises are also coated at the tips so they don’t leach into the medium. I also have been using copper trellises for years now without any negative effects.
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.
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?
Thank you! This one is 6 feet tall. I would recommend getting a tent that doesn’t have the dome shape like mine does because it limits your space from the inside
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😅
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
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 ☺️
Beautiful hoya collection, they are clearly loving your tent and care. Your video and Miro’s video is making me want to get a tent aswell😅🤔 Also adding merrlii in my wishlist because yours is just wow😍!!
Hello my friend! I decided to watch your video with my coffee this morning in preparation of setting up my own grow tent. I loved your tour and seeing all of your beautiful Hoya! I'm not overly familiar with some of the big leaved varieties like glabra, balaensis, and surigaoensis, but I really enjoyed them (along with all of the others of course)! Seeing the Hoya I most recently sent you all together and listening to your thoughts was so fun! Sorry about the limp decipulae and burmanica. 😬I probably should have watered two days vs. just one day prior to sending to you. Hopefully the humidity will perk them up soon - both are very thirsty Hoya. I'm sure you've thought of this, but depending on if your tent is very warm or not some may be happier than others. I know polyneura, engleriana, and burmanica thrive in cooler temps and do especially well for me living in Colorado. I've heard some people have struggled if they put them in warm IKEA cabinets. I don't have a ton of experience with the Eriostemma group Hoya I sent you - ariadna and madulidii. However, I've heard they love to be blasted with light and exposed to warmer temps. I've got them next to my South facing window right now and they've exploded with growth with a few hours of direct light - I'm thinking of moving them into my tent once it is set up though. I'm guessing they will not appreciate being next to a large, chilly window once we consistently have freezing temps. 😂
