Great collection. You obviously know what you are doing so you don’t really need advice. Interesting that some people have given you advice which is contradictory. Having said that, my advice for all Hoya lovers: Patience……… Most of us probably don’t live in super humid areas near the equator so we have to reproduce those conditions. Lots of indirect light and humidity but roots shouldn’t sit in water, they need oxygen. If leaves turn yellow that means the roots are too wet. Sometimes I don’t water at all until the leaves tell me they need water: That is when the leaves start to pucker. When the plant has enough water the leaves are full, almost hard like a succulent. Also I have learned that many plants need a certain special place, a sitio. It is difficult to know where that place is but that is the challenge and joy of plant care; keep trying until you give the plant the right spot. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the tips! It’s always a good reminder that our homes aren’t their natural habitats so we need to be patient with them
I have around 12 different Lacunosa; they have fun patterns on the leaves. To me, the Burtonii smells like buttered popcorn. Go figure, each nose perceives it differently. Thanks for sharing your collection. . It makes me want to do a roundup of all the ones I have, but I'm too lazy :-). The Lisa is my favorite; if it gets good light, the new leaves come out cherry red!
You have an amazing collection. There's definitely a few in there that are still on my list (like australis). For macrophylla, the issue is that there are a few similar hoyas and these plants were originally sold under "macrophylla" for a few years. Hoya can only be correctly ID'd with their flowers, so once they bloomed, it was discovered that they are actually Hoya latifolia. But then when you search for latifolia, these are generally sold as the "dinner plate" hoya with huge rounded leaves, so it makes things even more confusing because this "macrophyla" type doesn't have that kind of leaf at all. There is also an issue with Pachyclada. The ID on these is also questionable or has recently changed. I believe all hoyas being cold currently under "pachyclada" or "quinquinerva" are actually now known as Hoya subquintuplinervis. For Curtisii growing tips, all I've heard is that they crave a ton of light. Your Rosita looks very different to the others I've seen, so I'm wondering if it was mis-labeled. Rosita usually has more of a Wayetii vibe/leaf shape with a dark line around the leaves. I'm wondering if it might be a type of Burtoniae instead? I'll have to check out your video about Sumatra. Mine is surviving but not thriving.
Thank you! Yeah the fact that some Hoya can only be ID-ed through their blooms can make it tough. Hopefully my questionable ones will bloom soon and we’ll all know what they actually are 😂
I am amazed at the number of Hoyas you have in your collection! Great job! So many beautiful plants. I saw a couple of my wishlist Hoyas and l’m looking forward to getting them sometime in the near future. 😊. Many thanks for this fun video! Love your channel. 👏🪴🥰
I have my curtisii hanging in North window and it loves it.....gets lots of new growth...and stems do not dry out.....years ago I had a basket in south window, and it all dried up and died! So I recommend lower light, not south facing! Love the video thanks so much!
I have my curtisii hanging in an east facing window. It gets beautiful morning light. I water it when I can bend the leaves, about every other week. I also spray it with orchid fertilizer and it’s growing like a beast! It grew even during the winter. I think I just got lucky because it was a pretty full plant when I got it. One of my favorites!
Lovely collection! My only advice for your H mathilde would be to check the roots and maybe change the pot/increase its size. The soil looks pretty chunky and the terracotta pot looks so tiny! It may just be drying out too quickly.
I have my hoya pachyclada 3 months now got it with 2 leaves and it has 20 leaves now, its in a west facing window in bright indirect light. My location is The Netherlands. Also strugling with the curtisii most of my hoyas (60+) are doing fine. Love your channel
Is mostly the fragrance that I look for, last would be some striking Jurassic looking leaves with some color contrasts but I don’t really look for that, congrats you seem to have a green thumb
If you buy from Indonesia seller is the best choice, cause always spesies.. If you buy from other country maybe the plant is good but most of them hybrid or cultivation
👥️ How's she doing? Oh man, when that Hoya bug bit, it bit hard! Then you gotta live with all the after effects of never having enough Hoyas. Palmolive called - they want their hand model back! 😁 You should have a little Palmolive commercial washing dishes right in the middle of your video - how funny would that be - make youtube history. 😁
Wonder if the Sunrise with the smaller leaves is actually a Hoya Rebecca. I bought what was labeled a Hoya Sunrise, but it’s bloom was pink instead of white. Rebecca has pink blooms, Sunrise white blooms. So I believe I have a Rebecca.
Wow! Awesome collection of hoyas. My favorite plant. I have a medium size hoya queen but I've noticed some soft and wrinkled leaves. I've repotted it and has fresh soil, watering is 10-14 days...sits close to a South facing window about a foot away. What could be causing the soft & wrinkled leaves on one stem only.?🙏💖
When Hoya leaves stay wrinkled even after watering it’s often a root issue. I’d recommend inspecting the roots to see why they aren’t taking up any water!
Give you mathilde more humidity and it will really take off 🙌. My hoya curtisii grows in my southeastern facing window and grows like crazy! It loves a lot of light. It also likes drying out quite a bit before I water it again.
I just found your channel today. Your hoya are beautiful! What environment do you have them in? What other details (watering, soil, food, etc.) can you share?
Thank you! I keep most of my larger Hoya at room temp/humidity and in east facing windows with supplemental light from grow lights. Those get watered every 7-14 days depending on the plant. My large pubicalyx sits about 15 ft from a south facing window so it gets very dappled light and gets watered maybe once a month. My smaller hoya live in my ikea greenhouse cabinet (I have a handful of videos about it if you’re interested!) where they sit directly under grow lights. Humidity sits around 60-80% and it’s at room temp. Those get watered less often, probably every 2 weeks or so. My Hoya outside the cabinet are in a chunky soil mix and those in the cabinet are mostly in Sphagnum because they were grown as cuttings. I feed with liquidirt every time I water year round. Hope that was helpful!!
@@LauraaC thank you so much for sharing these details. I only have a few Hoya, but fine myself gravitating toward them when visiting local nurseries. I'm gonna research that liquidirt....never heard of it. I have 20-20-20 fertilizer I use once per month in Spring through early Fall.
Hi, I'm still new to Hoya's but I have a a curtisii and I have noticed the leaves don't actually get soft like other Hoya's but if you notice when they are watered there leaves are hard and plump and when they need water the leaves get really thin not plump anymore.Like I said I am still learning myself but I have noticed this with the leaves and that's when I have been watering it
Also I'm fairly certain kentiana and wayetii are the same plant, at least my wayetii variegata looks exactly like your kentiana variegata! You mentioned you love the purple sunstress vs the red one, if so then get that kentiana sunstressed it's stunning. New subscriber :)
I think they’re both sunrise (at least they were sold to me that way) but I’m sunstressing them now so we shall see! I recently got a suuuuper sunstressed var wayettii and I’m in love! I think I’ll be doing a Hoya haul video here soon because I have so many new ones
