Hoya krohniana 'super eskimo' care and propagation 

Don’t be worried about your presentation regarding the name of the plant! U did a good and respectful job

I did not know Eskimo has derogatory meaning either !! I think it’s just us in Asia being so far away from any Inuit community. Don’t feel bad Sean! I think this is a great information for all of us viewers especially from Asia ! :)

I so respect your thoughts and sensitivity. Always so informative.

I love the chaotic vibe in your videos lol so relatable. When you say “actually…” to something you just said so confidently, it cracks me up! Thanks for the info. Love that you wait and do the update in the same video too!

This is how you educate but also be sensitive to other cultures. Appreciate the way you handled that.

I think it is very commendable that you spoke on the name of the plant. Appreciate your message and very grateful for all your informative videos!

It's so kind of you to address it in such a respectful way. I really enjoy the video and the Hoya it's just stunning 👌

Your apology and discussion is so, so appreciated. I imagine this might be an older variety of hoya when the term was still commonly used with less regard for the people it describes and their feelings on it. Personally, I feel weird calling a plant by a term that describes people of a certain ethnical background anyway, and I'm glad to have seen this plant showcased newly as 'Super Silver', which I'll be using from now on, and maybe you'd like to as well.

It's a real pleasure, to watch your videos! Such an interesting information and always so useful! Such beautiful and healthy plants, surrounded by care and love🙌💚🌱☀️ Grate job! Thank you! 🙏

Your video was very nice and informative. I really enjoyed it. I have had Hoya plants for a while but I recently purchased this one. It’s so alarming to me that someone would take offense to the word Eskimo. I didn’t know that it would be racist and I have always been a person who respects diversity and also cultures. I am 62 years young but never used that term in a racist way. I do believe there is a lot of hate in this world right now towards all races and it’s a shame. I only wish there be peace on earth. I preach kindness all the time even at the end of each of my RU-vid video. Thanks for your tutorial.

I am also a very greedy propagator, sometimes I failed but most of the time, I succeeded growing one leaf cuttings. Keep going Sean

I am an agriculturist bit I respect all your ideas. Love all you plant Sean!!!! Watching from the Philippines

You are just the sweetest and most respectful person. I love your videos.

You’re so knowledgeable, I love watching your videos. I’d love a video explaining when a plant has bacteria or a virus and how to spot it

i always love your videos so much. we appreciate all the time and work you put into them amidst all of your other projects, responsibilities, and life transitions. thank you!!

I'm sorry that people feel so offended by little things in life you did a great presentation you didn't offend me or my friends that are watching this you do a great job and wish you well I'm leaving this message because I don't know how to leave it on RU-vid on my television so I had to pick up my cell phone to let you know you are one of my favorites keep pushing those videos out have a happy holiday and a joyful spring

🎉 belleza total me encantaría tenerla desde Argentina Buenos Aires saludos 🤗

your channel is literally my happy place now... Greetings from the Philippines! 🇵🇭

Super cool, love how easily you do the explaining. Love this hoya too.

I love your videos - you're very relaxing to listen to and your approach to your plants is refreshingly earnest and candid. In addition to Nick Pileggi, you're may favourite plant RU-vidr!

Thank you as always, Sean. Cool propagation. Have a nice weekend .

Great video and informative, thx. And loved your well spoken and caring update about the plant name.❤

Thank you for your apology, however I been leaving in this country for 60 years being this the first time I here that the word has offensive connotations. I loved the video lesson and I will like to get this joya, so far I can only see it on You Tube videos not on stores. Hope all your plants grow well.

I CANNOT thank you enough for this video! 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️ your pots are SO GORGEOUS!! I can’t wait to see how beautifully they grow!

Oh wow, I never knew the word eskimo is derogatory at all, it's the first time I've heard this. I've did a bit of googling and the results were fascinating. Sadly, in my part of non-English speaking Europe, the term has been adopted as a neologism and it is imbedded in the language as the sole word to describe the populace, and, due to the geographical distance, I highly doubt that the names of each tribe or population from different areas would become commonplace to replace it. Now, in regards to the plant, the video was amazing, I saw one of these available in a store and had to learn more about it, to make up my mind if I'm going to get one or not, so thank you for a great video.

I did the same thing as you in terms of propagating this plant using sphagnum moss on top of the pot. I mist the sphagnum moss every day and water the pot only when the media is completely dry. I totally agree with you that this Hoya grows really. Definitely one of my favorite Hoya.

I just adore your videos, especially your updates! This is such a beautiful hoya and I intend on buying one now that I see how fast it grows! Keep up the awesome work! 💚🧡💙

well said there at the end. very well said! great video, your spirit is contagious. very informative!

merci pour vos videos reel plaisir de suivre vos ateliers

Love that Hoya, it’s on my wish list. Looks like a easy one and a fast grower for sure! Tfs

Your plant collection is very good, very fertile and also supported by very attractive and beautiful pots🥰🥰🥰

Keep filming your videos and you are a loving person. It comes through in your videos. 🪴🌿

Thank you for your wisdom. You are very respectful I throughly enjoy your video.

Thank you for helping me understand these lovely Hoyas! I needed some info on propagating these and you gave me the confidence I needed! 😊 Also, thank you for including that last bit of information regarding the name, you did a great job! Keep doing what you’re doing! Much love from the states 💖✌🏽

You are a WONDERFUL teacher, keep up the great videos!

I so 😍love to see your updates. Instant gratification for all your subscribers. Nice one Sean 👍

Will do butterflies with my eskimo this weekend!!! So pretty!

I just received this hoya. Thanks for this video!

Thank you for letting us know how they are doing three months later in the same video.

That's an interesting story behind the name of this hoya. Here in Kyrgyzstan we call it Eskimo because of the name of ice cream we have here) sure we know about the inuits but this is not the reason why we call this hoya like that. Well, looks like a different countries has a different interpretations of the plant's names)

You come from a good heart. That's the plants name. Thanks for the information! Love how you propogated it. Learned so much from this video and your video on the Peperomia Hope Propogation. Lol must've watched that one 10xs, so nervous to cut up my plant... hope I did good lol 😆

Thank you for making yourself more aware of the issues behind the existing name. Being more aware of these issues and working to making them better will help our hobby be more inclusive. Some common names have so much baggage that come with them, especially when it comes to cultivars. This particular one isn't the only one out there - a certain Tradescantia comes to mind, a certain Dieffenbachia as well. If they must be used, I'd much prefer that they be descriptive. I think it'd be cool if this variety were called something like 'Frost' or 'Ghost'.

Sean, I finally got my account ! Hurray ! I can now make comments without explaining that I was using my son's account. I will make client after next video. You are the best ❣️

Thank you for addressing the issue of racism. You are obviously a thoughtful and sensitive human being. That is a beautiful Hoya that I have added to my wishlist despite its unfortunate name. Thank you for another interesting video.

Excellent wording! Hello from Alberta

❣️ ❣️ ❣️ Beautiful specimens. 🌿 🌿 🌿 Thank you for addressing the name change and everything. Keep up your great content!

A job well done in all aspects. Love it ❤.

Beautiful Hoya cultivar! So nice to see full pots of healthy plants. There are other plants with the same name problem, one of which is Kaffir lime. Who knew?

Great content once again. 🙂

This is also one of my fave Hoya ... But still in my list ...

Appreciated your dedication.

فيديو جميل ونبات اجمل شكرا ❤

Everyone keep asking cuz your plans looks great kak 😊. I keep overwater and they die. They are in plant’s heaven now. RIP.

I love how you keep saying you're really greedy because, that's totally me I did this with my string of hearts and, completely took a whole strand and went greedy! 😅🤣🤣. I just got a hoya and, it's in bad condition. I hope I can propagate it after it heals a bit.

they are beautiful....hoping to have one someday...💚👌👍😊😃✌

Appreciate your "wokeness"! I'm afraid to propagate my Hoya's. How does one know when a plant is mature enough to propagate? Thank you for your videos, I'm learning and enjoying immensely. Stay well my plants friend.

I love the message.

I understand why some people think the term Eskimo might be offensive, but it's really not. It's the same as "indigenous people" or "North American". Eskimo just refers to the northernmost North American indigenous tribes. It typically includes Inuit, Inupiat, Yupik, Aleut, etc etc. It's important to use courteous language, but it's also important to understand where words come from. 🙂

great video, and I appreciate your cultural awareness and taking the time to address that :)

Video idea: soil mix for hoyas 😅I see a lot of different information around the internet and youtube about it and its so confusing! Right now I'm rooting a Obovata in perlite but after that, I'm not sure what kind of soil media should I put it. Amazing video as usual :) love the updates!

Thank you for sharing !

I just bought this plant...some of leaves are limp in the outer branches but are rigid and plump in the inner leaves...so how do you know when to water? Appreciate your propagation videos...so much..

Wow​

Dear Sean, thank you for this impressive video. I am sure that you have the Hoya Curtisii in your collection. Can you please compare those two - the Curtisii and Krohniana? In every possible aspect - the size of the leaves, the growing speed, the blooming time, etc... Here in USA the price for Krohniana is 5 to 10 times higher than for Curtisii. You said, your Krohniana is somehow similar to Lacunosa. Well, I had a difficult time for the adaptation of Lacunosa to my growing conditions. And at the same time my Curtisii was growing like a weed. And the ESKIMO in MANY languages means just the name of old fashioned ICE CREAM.

Thank you for addressing this issue. Eskimo should definitely not be used as a term, so thank you for this !

So much of learning ....

That was amazing. I never knew that either. It's so hard to be free and talk in today's world. Everything offends everyone. Maybe instead of being offended and ready to attack, we try and just love one another. Get out that mindset. We have lost so much with out old generation. Those values, traditions are all out the window and every being for themself. We need to be better.

Hi Sean and everyone! I just received a super silver Hoya that is very silver at the base but the stems have produced all green leaves. Should I cut it back to increase the silver, like in a monstera or Philodendron, or if I put it in bright light will it start producing silver leaves again? Thank you so much for your help and the amazing content! Happy planting 🌺

do some colocasia plant care

Lucky one to have that hoya

Please visiting om Chandra Gunawan

Good day, ooo my favorite hoi

Great video, Sean. What is the name of the pesticide you put at the end together with thd fertilizer? Does it prevent mealy bugs or other pests from coming to the leaves as well? Thanks.

So do we have a suggested more acceptable name?

Another great video! I dont know if you read this but im planning on coming to indonesia, any way to ask you some questions and advice?

Hi , what is the difference between fine spagnum moss and the long strand spagnum moss? thank you

Just ordered a krohniana labeled as ‘eskimo’ & came back to rewatch for care tips. I noticed that I’d somehow, accidentally, 👎🏻 the video. Idk how that happened. But I corrected it. Oops! 👍🏻 Are the plants labeled as ‘silver’ & ‘super silver’ the same as the plants labeled as ‘eskimo’ & ‘super eskimo?’

AMEN!!

I was wondering if you could do something similar to propagate string of hearts?

Hi, thank you for the useful video! I have one question. Some of the joints and leaves of my hoya are too weak and flabby, so they fall off very easily even with a soft touch. Others seem very robust and firm. Now some of my hoyas have to stand leafless stems to get back the beautiful look they had before. This makes me sad. Do you know why this happens and how to care? I don't think it's the root problem because the leaves that fall off are random, like some of them are closer to the root while others are in the middle or so. Thank you.

omg first comment! I think you're cool Shawn or shaun... not sure how to spell ur name but thank you!!

Wow.. I like hoya but I don't have....

I just propped my splash yesterday and a few of the leaves have softened up. There aren’t any roots yet so I doubt it drinking too much. Is that normal?

Great video. I was wondering if you ever heard of using orchid fertilizer for hoyas? If you have. What’s your recommended amount to use? Thanks

Do you change them to soil after ?

Is moss a better way to private? I tried soil and bag method for leaves, I took off plant I had to re pot cause it was water logged.

When propagating to a new pot, how often should you water the plant?

Can you do a video on a alocasia frydek

I see some listed for sale as "Hoya krohniana 'Silver'" which is just easier to say anyway and has the added benefit of not being racist. Someone correct me though if 'Silver" and the one in this video are different cultivars.

What do the leaves feel like?

Doesn’t the sphagnum moss keep the plant too moist? Do you remove it at any point?

Can you propagate krohniana from leaves that have broken off?

My wife is new to plant world any tips and where do you get your plants online at?

Mauuuu,,,

What size pot (black) are you using for this plant?

So I have a pretty silly question.😬 how do you go about giving indirect sunlight with a grow light?

Where are you buy?

Are these easy care?

💚💚

😍😍😍😍
