How To Save Hoyas From Root Rot and Dry Rot | Houseplant Rescue | My Method 

For a “plain” solid leaf Hoya they definitely are. Love that really dark green glossiness 💚💚💚.

Exactly!!!! I’m making lemonade out of lemons 💚💚💚. Thank you Rev!!!!

Hi Sylvia!!!! Yep so much easier to just start over again. See you Sunday 🥰.

Thank you sooo much 🥰.

Thank you!!!! 💚💚💚

Oh yay!!!! So glad it was helpful to you 🥰. Thank you so much!!!!💕💕💕💕💕

Thanks Lynn!!! 💚💚💚

Thank you 💚💚💚.

Haha thanks!!! You too!!! 🥰🦊❤️

Hi Nicole!!!! I’m trying not to be so afraid of watering. I feel like under watering them is a bigger risk at this point. Just from experience. I think if you have a nice chunky mix that drains really well there’s no harm in watering frequently. Thank you!!!! 🦊💕💕

Hi Chris!!!! I think so too. Thank you 💚💚💚.

Thank you!!!! I’m so glad to hear it’s on the mend!!! I have a fear of my Obovata and Kerrii rotting. It will be sad days if it happens!!!!

💕💕💕 I’m sooo glad. I feel like I’m not always good at explaining things.

Thank you 💚💚💚. Yup for the most part we shouldn’t ever completely lose a Hoya. Not saying it won’t happen, because it’s happened to me, but with the proper knowledge and action we can save our plants if they start failing 😊.

Thank you!!!! I’m trying not to be that way but it’s a balance for sure. I feel like I’m getting better at watering at the right time. I think lol. Thank you again 💚💚💚.

I’m so glad!!!!

Oh no!!!! That one should be really easy to save though 💚💚💚.

That’s the nice thing, most of the time they are totally salvageable. I’ve only lost like two plants to root rot and I’ve had quite a few get it.

🥰

Hi Terri!!!! Oh no!!!! I’m so sorry about your cat 💔. Big hugs 💕💕💕. I love your comfort plant choices. I’m not a big fan of poles personally. Just because most of them are so bulky looking (especially moss poles). I like just using a bamboo stick. But I think any type of pole would be fine. If you’re up for maintaining a moss pole, those seem to be popular and used with aroid plants. I did get my squirrel/nut bowl!!!! I ended up just buying it on eBay. With shipping it was like $32 total. I couldn’t wait to find one at the thrifts lol. I’m so in love with it. It’s different than the one my mom had. I love that the squirrels ears are pink inside. If I find one locally I’ll still pick it up. I’ll have a little collection. They do come in different colors which is nice. Hope you have a lovely day!!!🐿️ 💕

Glad you caught it!!! I’m sure it will bounce back for you. Humidity and warmth will help it along for sure 💚💚💚

Indeed they are!!!! The nice thing is that a lot of plants are easy to save from root rot. You won’t be able to save the whole plant, but enough to be able to start again. Thanks!!!!

So glad!!! This one was tossed. It’s a homemade pon and I put vermiculite in it which wet vermiculite is the worst lol. Sticks to everything. I don’t like it so I just tossed it all. There’s no way I’d be able to remove it from the rest of the “ingredients “. I will never add vermiculite again lol.

I too use a rooting gel/powder. Not every time but a lot of the time. I think I did dip these australis in rooting powder. Glad it works well for you too!!!💚💚💚

I’ve had that happen and I absolutely hate that. That’s one thing I will NEVER do when selling my plants. They must have a good root system going before I send plants out. I’m assuming there is very little roots? When that happens to me I just watch it very closely. If you have a cabinet, or someplace with high humidity, I would put it in there. Keep it warm, humid, and with great lighting. I recently received a Hoya rangsan splash that was just cuttings. And I just pulled one of the struggling cuttings out of the pot to reroot on its own. I’m not sure what else to recommend. Just keep an eye on it. Good luck!!!!💚💚💚

I get mine on Amazon. I do have a whole video on Hoyas in pon and a DIY pon recipe with links in the description of that video. I think it depends on the Hoya. Some like a lot of water and will do great in Pon. Hoya Bella is a great example of that. I have most of my Hoyas in a chunky soil mix and they are doing great, therefore I would not even think about switching those plants into pon. Thank you!!!!💚💚💚

hmmmm...sorry to hear that. Not everything works for everyone.

The best!!!💚💚💚

Oh gosh….that’s hard for me to answer. If you’re trying to save length than I would go ahead and experiment. Make it a length that you are comfortable with. Especially if you have a lot to work with. The leaves at the end of the vine will be the first to start showing signs of struggling. They’ll get limp and wrinkled in my experience. If that starts to happen I would just start cutting those off and propagating those on their own. Hope that makes sense!!!! Good luck 💚💚💚

Ugh!!!! I’ve had it happen one time so far, with that plant.

Yeah if there are no roots there’s no way a long stem will survive. Even if there are a few roots the plant will struggle. Learned this by experience 💚💚💚.
