Hey hon all the ones you gave me are doing great! Hoya finlaysonii has grown so much! Hoya Kerrii likes alot of water! Mine is in bloom AGAIN! I love it! It's bloom is so beautiful! It's so high up I haven't been able to smell it! 😂 great Hoya update! 😊
wow....this was a very good hoya video.....such a large collection and they all look great....so many blooms and so much growth.........I have to again tell you that the editing and your narration are top notch......your before and after shots ...really makes a great video even better......you have one of my favorite channels......great work.
I enjoyed this video! Once had a nice Hoya in bark that bloomed after two years. I have one now planted in a mix of 2/3 bark and 1/3 succulent soil and it’s under lights. It seems very happy and started putting out new growth. I don’t keep them very soggy but not totally dry either. Now I have to be patient and see how it does!
@@judycook4314 thank you ❤️❤️ Yeah it's a fine balance! They are all different so it takes some trial and error. I killed a few clippings and I'm still learning!
Hi Nicole, thanks for letting us know how each Hoya smelled and blooms. I can’t believe the one that smells like Channel No. 5, amazing! I think I have that one hanging around but it is still small. I also got some of my Hoya cuttings from Yoshi. Beautiful 🤩!
Your Hoya all look amazing!!!! I was also reminded again as to how much I love the looks of retusa. Underrated in my opinion. Yours looks soooo pretty!!!! Thanks for the shout out 🥰.
My Khroniana doesn’t grow at all since I got it from a vendor at Etsy. In fact the leaves start to shrivel and die off. I have a Krimson Princess the same time and it grows much better. Any advice how to revive the dying hoya? Thanks!
Hello, just watched your leaf cleaning video are you still using the same formula alcohol dish soap water and are u still wiping the underneath of orchids leaf or just top. Thank you so much :) just found your channel, love it ❤🌸
@@sunsetvibes556 thank you so much ❤️ once a month I pass water through the leaves to knock off any pests but if I'm noticing spider mites, I'll spray a solution of water, 10% alcohol, dish soap and a few drops of rosemary oil. I'm still experimenting with it and will make a video once I've seen how it affects the collection. TYSM for watching ❤️
Love love love your channel...always giving us consice info and all the before and after photos...my question is are rioot mealies the same as regular mealy bugs? I know root rot, but what is dry rot when a plant is still alive but not growing any more? Also, ive deen your success in different orchids and ive purchased different ones in our Ontario Orchid show here in Toronto Canada so i can follow your diverse collection, but theyre not doing anything for 5 months now....im getting impatient and maybe you can tell me how long i need to wait for any growth points? Ive looked after phalaenopsis for decades, so these new ones are not phalaenopses, i bought these because i got bored with the phalaenopsis, i wanted to try diffent orchids
TYSM for your kind comment. I'm new to these root mealies but from what I understand they are the same thing just in the media of the plants. Dry rot? Hmm, perhaps when the plant dies back? A lot of times this can happens to old growths and it's not a bad thing, its normal. As for the orchids you got 5 months ago, sometimes they take time to adapt. If they are coming from a greenhouse to an indoor environment they need some time to acclimate - though now that it's summer in Toronto, provided your indoor conditions are warm, most cattleyas and others would start to wake up and give you some new roots by now - you should start seeing new growth points soon if you haven't already - make sure they are watered thoroughly but fully drain so there's no root rot and the roots stay healthy (I'm sure you are doing this already but just wanted to make sure). Also make sure if you got cattleyas they are getting brighter indirect light more than the phals. You should see growths soon, and don't sweat it, it's normal for them to stall. Just think about it, they came from a greenhouse "SPA" with 80% humidity most likely to an indoor environment with 30% humidity. You got this, they will adapt and grow soon
Check out my oncidium care video :) They like good moisture and don't want to dry out for long periods of time but can't stay in sopping wet conditions either. Mixture of bark + moss or just fluffy moss (if the pot is small) works well for me.
