HOYA FOR BEGINNERS| TOP 5 (+1) COMMON & UNCOMMON HOYA & TOP 5 TIPS 

I fertilize my hoya every time I water. Just like all my other plants. These are just my tips and recommendations. Care video coming soon. ;-) What are your easiest Hoya?

To me, putting your plants outside in a shady area during the growing season is magic. Most of my Hoyas are growing. A rooted cutting that I had for months has a new leaf.

I’m in the Phoenix metro area in the USA. For my region I’ve found an Aeroid and chonky orchid mix works amazingly! In my home things dry up SUPER fast. I can’t even keep my succulents in terracotta because of drying out issues. So like chonky pumice, chonky coco husk pieces, coco coir, chonky orchid bark and some tropical planting soil mixed in is my recipe To root mine usually go right into the soil and they’re in self watering pots with a wick that draws up lower amounts of water than a regular wick so the soil is like a wrung out sponge. It works well for no drainage glass containers, but you just have to be smart about the watering. I can get roots and new growth within 2 weeks on fresh cuttings. I do cheat and use a rooting hormone I got for my succulents which doesn’t work for them but for all my Hoya and zz varieties it works ridiculously well Once rooted I use 1/2 fertilizer mixed with the water I use to regularly water and do a full fertilization once a month. Everyone is super happy and saved my Krimson Queen pots (2 pots, 12ft of vine in total) doing this. Outside of that, prop in a glass container, no drainage with my soil half way, a thick layer of pumice or perlite on top and use 1/3 the volume of the container worth of water inside and plastic wrap the top I air out nightly and I even got my Serpens or Xiaojie root under a month and I’m getting new growth from the vine while in there with a tiny cutting of Hoya Sunrise I’d say feel free to break rules and experiment with your Hoya propagations for your region in the world! I think I’m going to start trying growing in more coco chunk chunks and see how that goes. It makes over watering (with drainage) almost impossible. It can only absorb so much water and won’t hold more than it can and releases the water at a steady rate

I still repot immediately even with Hoya, it's ok if they struggle...it builds character 😅 hahaha. It gives me peace of mind. I recently repotted a plant from Etsy and discovered slugs in the soil😬

I just bought my first Hoya’s and have no clue how to care for them, so this video is essential! Thank you!

Enjoyed your video very much. Very informative!

Oh my gosh I love Hoyas! Especially the silver Hoyas. My Wilbur Graves is my absolute favourite. I just ordered a Linearis today and I can’t wait for it to arrive. Thanks for all of your tips 💚

I used to struggle rooting Hoya also. Then I tried the humidity bag trick. IT WORKS! Try putting in a plastic bag to root or place in a lidded clear storage bin (prop box). The uncreased humidity will let that baby root like a champ.

Can’t wait🙋🏽‍♀️

Very pretty plants! ✨🌿

😍 wow 🤩 I had never seen the hoya coriacea silver before and it’s absolutely gorgeous! I haven’t seen any cuttings for sale in the U.K. yet but it’s just been added to my list. Thank you for the video, I have everything in pon and I root in pon too rather than water, just have to keep it moist when rooting then ease off when you know it’s taken.

Nice advice!

Beautiful Hoyas collection💖love the tips. It’s been two weeks I bump in your videos😊been supporting you since🥰keep inspiring us!

Good advice.

Loved your tips and your lovely Hoyas. I have a Hoya Sunrise that keeps dropping her new leaves. It's the only Hoya I have that does this! Just bought a rooted cutting to add to it, and it's dropping newest leaves as well. On the other hand my Hoya Mathilde is blooming! New subsciber!

You are so helpful. I had a Hoya that I repotted right away, and it took months and months, and eventually just died from the shock of transplant.

Nice video. ❤

I use fungicide, bactericide, pesticide products every 6 weeks so no issues to worry about! (Dithane, Orthene, spreader stickler and Banrot) I also have Physan.

Got a Sarawak 6 weeks ago. I didn’t like the growth pattern so I cut her up, rerooted her and even during rooting she started pushing new leaves.

I haven’t been bitten by the Hoya bug yet. I do love your videos though so I am going to watch any way 🪴💚

💚💚💚

I sure know what you mean by getting bit by the hoya bug 😂. I only started collecting in May of this year and now have one side of my greenhouse full 😊

Very helpful tips but I definitely think that plant collectors who just have hoyas but are not hoya heads or hoya collectors are the ones who don’t know how to make a hoya flourish. They always recommend to let every hoya dry out, taco test n what not. In my experience hoya collectors always say that hoyas need much more water than you think which is very true.

I have heard you can root hoya in dampp spagnum moss inside a plastic, clear tote.

I also have been bitten .lol I started collecting 6 month ago now we are moving and I am trying to figure out the light situation some say bright light some say not so bright light .I need help
