Doug Chamberlain hello I send you message about a month ago about how to order hoya cuttings from you or if you can please put me in you list Helen Staihar thank you so much (:
@@helenstaihar2696 Helen send me an email to dougchamberlain61@gmail.com and I will add you to the list. I'm all done selling for this year but plan to do it again next year.
Thank for the video! I love it when there is a great inexpensive solution to a problem that the masses have encountered. Thanks for sharing all your videos, they are great to watch.
Omg! I was also wondering where she got those trellis from. I was actually looking on amazon last night and couldn’t find any. Thanks for posting this! Made my day!
I watched that video about the Hoyas too and thought it was amazing. I decided to go to Lowes and get the fencing and try it since as you mentioned, trellises are hard to come by nowadays. It is great that you shared how to do this with others. :)
Buen día Sr. Doug!!! Ayer rompí un péndulo por trepar una Hoya en una tabla de madera, casi lloré 🤭 Esto era justamente lo que buscaba, muchísimas gracias por compartirlo! Saludos a su esposa, amé todas sus pulceras!
I used to despair about the lack of commercially available trellises for Hoyas, but no more since I discovered all of the great inexpensive trellises that can be fashioned out of this wire.
Doug, I LOVE YOU! Thank you so much. I needed 2 trellises for 2 Hoya cuttings. I couldn't find anything anywhere. That is perfect. You are the man. Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend, Gerry 😎
Remember those Hoya cuttings I had propagating in water? They all finally grew huge roots and I transplanted into soil. So much new growth. I have them in a east facing window. They love the morning sun. Getting bigger everyday, but no where near the size of your's. 😊
What a good tutorial! It is possible to grow larger hoyas on theese. I use the full height and wrap the net doubble in a wider circle. I grow both Hoya kerrii and obovata on theese for example. They do have lager pots.
Oh the timing of this video is perfect for me. My Hoya carnosa tricolor is in a growth spurt and i thought a trellis would be an awesome addition to her environment.
Cool idea. Another thought for example the demo plant you had there you could even just cut it way shorter. As the plant grows and gets bigger and needs a higher trellis you can use the piece you cut off, slap it on top and bend over the ends to secure it to the top and add a extra story to the tower each time you need more height essentially. So you can always have a trellis at the perfect height!
You’ve got really great trellis ideas & advice! Thanks for sharing. I’ll be using one for for my krimson princess that tripled in size in just 10 months. I didn’t know it grew that fast so I did not prepare & had no idea what to do with it.
Hi Doug! How are you? Thank you again for this video! I had two Hoyas this spring/summer that just took off and grew and grew such long vines. I had them on long, wooden dowel rods. They out grew them. I was at Walmart this morning and they had plastic garden fence on clearance. Just made 2 trellises for them. Came out great! I had your email address awhile ago. You helped me ID these 2 leaf, unrooted cuttings. Wanted to send you the pics. Hope you have a good one! Gerry 😎
Hi Gerry, These fence made trellises are better than any of the purchased trellises. I make one almost every day. Many times now I don't make the whole circle and just make it into a half circle which works really well for most of them and you don't have as hard of a time to put it around growing plants. If you want to send me photos my email is dougchamberlain61@gmail.com
You're welcome Maria! I make these all the time. Also, I discovered that it is possible to to bend this wire in the shape of a half circle, which also works as a very good trellis,. Sometimes this is easier to use when installing on a larger plant.
I'm so happy to hear that the Hoyas are doing well. The bamboo trellises have a lot of drawbacks like rotting off at the base when you least expect it, and they can hurt the plant roots when you try to push them into a pot.
The ends may oxidize and rust a little bit, but I have never seen evidence of it hurting the roots. Some of my healthiest Hoyas have had the rustiest trellises so I don't believe that rust hurts the roots at all.
Great idea! I did something similar... recycling a six foot section of the 24 inch tall scalloped wire fence panels.... But, my question is about how to untangle the vines from the wire when its time to repot........
I would not try to untangle the vines, I would just move that trellis along to another larger pot and if needed add bamboo hoops or another larger trellis if needed.
I move so many Hoyas in and out that I don't necessarily have a lot of fast growing Hoyas to put into a video. Many Hoyas will grow incredibly rapidly in greenhouse environments, but barely grow at all in the regular house. The fastest growing three Hoyas for me are Hoya cumingiana, Hoya australis ssp. Oramicola, and H. imperialis.
That is a whole lotta bracelets sir I cannot ever wear one without it being annoying as hell lol also thank you for the video as I now own so many Hoya’s!!!
I am going to share on Facebook on my channel that I have on Facebook. I'll share your link and I'm going to buy some of this fencing and demo like you did. But until I do some of my friends are using moss poles for climbing plants and to me this is much easier I am going to share on Facebook on my channel that I have on Facebook. I'll share your link and I'm going to buy some of this fencing and demo like you did. But until I do some of my friends are using Moss polls for climbing plants and to me this is much easier and it won't rot so it's great for plants that are in hanging baskets but would rather climb
Great idea. We have successfully propagated several hoya plants. It's time to repot them. Do you advise putting more that one in a pot, for a fuller display? Thanks
My rule of thumb is that larger leafed Hoyas and ones with stiff vines should go one per pot as when they get growing one vine will keep getting longer and you can wind it on a trellis to make a full looking pot. Small leafed Hoyas such as lacunosa, bella, and DS-70 should be planted with several cuttings in the same pot for a fuller appearance
Thank you for sharing. Kinda funny cause my co-worker who is part of A same Hoya group just showed me this! Wonder where she got the information from. Anyway.... I would like to request a video on seedlings... the seeds you gave me along with the cuttings I bought are thriving in a little indoor greenhouse without cover around 70-85% humidity and around 70-75 F (cold summer here in PNW)... what would I do with them next?
Hoya papaschonii can live out its entire life pretty happy growing in sphagnum alone; so you could just get more sphagnum and move them up to a bigger pot. I am experimenting with semi-hydro and a material called pon that may work well for them, but that video will be out next week.
Hi Tracey, yes all of those bracelets are mostly old Bakelite or other old plastic bracelets that my wife goes years sometime without taking off. You are very observant!
Great idea! I have to try this. Can you please share the link or spell the name of the youtuber you mentioned at the beginning of the video! New subscriber here!🤗
That I cannot tell you. It is something that you will have to work out for yourself. It should be pretty easy though without doing math; just roll out enough to form a diameter of 10 inches.
I was thinking it could be stabilized a bit maybe by putting a PVC pipe in the pot first and putting gravel part way up in the PVC pipe to make it heavier then put the fencing over top of that then put your potting soil in your plant inside. But keep it from getting top-heavy also you could put pet sphagnum Moss down inside between the PVC pipe and the fencing and maybe give more benefits of the plant because you could spray that a bit and help with humidity
If you have orchids not moth orchids but dendrobium or cymbidiam ... Excuse the spelling... Orchids these would work to help keep them up right that is your waist for 4in or four squares two squares High
Although I don't grow orchids, I'm sure that these would support them well. To achieve a 4 inch diameter trellis, you need to unroll six squares. You can make the height anything that you would like.
Doug Chamberlain In your video on growing Hoya indoors , I can see some kind of grated trays under your Hoya plants. To me it almost resembles cookie sheets with cooling racks, I was wondering what these are, and where you found them- I assume they are for increasing humidity around your plants. Can you give me more information about that please?
@@moniquegebeline4350 I bought these trays a long time ago when they were much cheaper than they are now. They are very well made though and I would buy them again. Here is a link to the humidity trays, but shop around; you may find them cheaper somewhere else: www.amazon.com/Humidity-Bonsai-Orchids-Plants-HT-102/dp/B01LZYAE3E/ref=asc_df_B01LZYAE3E/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198092200243&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13281433733386843939&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003006&hvtargid=pla-319576769491&psc=1
Not the best solution for a heavy foliage Hoya - this becomes top heavy and unbalanced - in the wind it'll blow over. Keep trying there's a better solution out there
