All About Fungal Infection 

Finally somebody start make video about fungal infection. Thank you. 🙏 Zlata Florida

I think you are one of the most interesting person talking about plants on RU-vid. You take the time to teach useful information. Although your Hoyas are wonderful. So happy to have found you.

This applies to all houseplants and is a reason to not buy sale plants that don’t look healthy unless u isolate them for a few weeks. Great info for new plant parents. Thanks

Black Spots on Hoya are also a Symptom of a Shore Fly ingestation. Seen mainly in plants from large growers & Greenhouses. The flies deficate on the leaves (ie. The Black spots). This in turn burns the leaves. Making your plant highly susceptible to fungal & viral infection because it ulcerates the leaves cuticles. If your plants are not properly treated ( The Soil Must Be Treated), the Shore Fly larva will feast on your plants roots and eventually will kill it by rotting the roots or by weakening the plant so much that it succumbs to fungal or viral infections. What will also happen if not treated is the Shore Fly larvae will hatch out of the soil and infest all of your plants. It's a nasty viscious cycle of which came first the chicken or the egg. You could treat for a fungal infection when it may not be a fungal infection yet or maybe starting but what is really going on is an infestation of Shore Fly. Fungus gnats can also add to this problem if not treated.

Thank you Amanda for all your information I really appreciate it. Keep the videos coming.

Thank you Amanda. That was very informative. 👍

Great video!!!! Thank you so much Amanda!

Thank you Amanda x

EXCELLENT INFO!!! Thank you so much.

Thank you So Very Much for this Well Thought-Out, Courteous, & Conscientious informative on your tragic experience. Very BIG & Kind of you to share your wealth of knowledge on this quite begrudging topic. Best of Wishes!

Thanks Amanda! This was so interesting and so scary at the same time.

Thank You! I have been looking everywhere on RU-vid for this. It seems no one has info on fungus or black spot but you. Your video was very through and informative. I have a hoya compacta that has black spot, I think. It is still small, and I think I will throw It out, I love that plant, but if it is not going to completely go away then out it goes, don't want it to spread. Thank you for a great video!

Thanks for the information

I love your new hairstyle! Thanks for sharing the information!

amazing info! I was wondering what the black stuff on my Hoya Australis was. I treated it. TY!

This video is so informative, thank you!! (I recently started keeping my Hoyas in an Ikea greenhouse cabinet with lights, fans, humidifiers, etc. so I'm paranoid about fungal infections.)

Love the haircut/new hairdo! I really need a haircut, but the salons are closed in Toronto and have been for months. P.S Great video about fungal infections and very sorry your hoyas got sick.

I also had to deal with a tramatic fungal infection a few months ago! thanks for putting this info out there! when I had my fungal issue there wasn't much info I could find on the process. but I ended up doing a very similar treatment/process as you. now I have a lottttttt of fans all around my plant collection 😂

Good day, what beautiful flowers, I love hoya

Love your new look.

Great Video!

Very informative. The adjective foe the word naive is naivety. Ur English is almost flawless. I wish I had learnt a 2nd language beyond what was required to complete my syllabus. I use Phyton 27. I'm afraid to use these chemicals as they cause respiratory diseases and cancer.

wow great video. I see a ton of people with closed growing spaces, I hope a lot of others aren't going to end up with same experience!

Underneath the leaf suggests downy mildew.

Great info ! Do you think the application of fungicide would also harm the plants ? Thanks.

new phobia unlocked!! thanks A LOT XDDDD oh gaaawd... I think I have on few of my anthuriums. I mean I'm pretty sure now -_-' good info tho

i have a cv joy which is kinda rare to find in my area and i suspect it started to get infected from another hoya nxt to it.. problem is my cv joy got only one leaf...should i just throw it away ???? :,(

Question: If putting the physan in the soil, I worry about it killing bacteria. Healthy soil has beneficial bacteria, as we know. Is it worth basically sterilizing the soil?

If I removed all the diseased leaves, there will be no leaves because there was only 1 leaf when I bought it. Will it grow with just a stem & a piece of green tendril? It’s a Hoya Vitellinoides.

Maybe your Hoya Lockii did not feel good so it's trying to flower to spread its seeds etc?

Thanks for the info. Can fungal infections happen even when the humidity isn't that high? I have some mystery problem plants that I can't quite figure out. Also, not hoya related, but I LOVE your haircut!! It looks super cute and fresh!!

Very informative video. But leave your hair and glasses alone.
