Here's a link to some of my hoya trellises and I also linked the Hoya repotted video Part one if you missed it! Thanks for watching! 💗 Hoya Trellises: www.amazon.com/shop/plantsbymelissa/list/1LJT2UQC0VHBZ?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfplantsbymelissa_7RBEGDP43Z4XHP8SE3RW Hoya Repot Day 1: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xChz6EA43MQ.html
PSA: Ya’ll be sure to like Melissa’s videos so she moves higher on the YT algorithms. She deserves so many more subscribers for the quality of content she puts out! Thank you. This is purely my opinion 😊
Thank you that’s so kind of you to say 🥹 I really appreciate that and for everyone who does engage and watches! It does help 🫶🏻 RU-vid seems to be in favor of shorts from what I can see in my analytics but I prefer long form videos 😔
I know this is an older video for you but as I'm not a Hoya person I didn't watch this when you first posted it. However, since I need my plantsbymelissa fix today and you're probs sleeping now I had to watch this one haha! And I have to say that green is DEFNTLY your colour 👌🏼 Am amazed at your composure when finding mealies 💪 And that Star! She was SO CUTE....be still my heart!!! I think she may love you more than hubby 😅 Please keep the videos coming as they really are informative and at the same time quite relaxing 👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you 😻
All I could think was PLEASE PET STAR 😂😂😂😂 My kitty, Haru, is absolutely in love with mt plants, she protects them and stares at them (never bites them or bumps them over). She also absolutely lost it when I pruned some of the leaves, she was so upset she fetched my husband, constantly tried putting herself between me and the plant and when I finished she went to check on them every few minutes refusing to let me anywhere near them 😂😂😂😂 It was the cutest thing... Plants and Cats are a beautiful thing
My variegated compacta grows like a weed, but I keep it in a room close to a south facing window. And every few weeks I'll give it a small spray of orchid fertilizer. Its blooming now 4 me
I’ve started using systemic granules on my plants to help prevent infestations. I also treat all my plants once a week with a homemade insecticidal soap (Ivory dish soap mixed with water) As they say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It has worked well on all my houseplants outside…namely keeping the aphids at bay. I hate those things!!! I recently got a Piper and about a week after getting it home it was covered in aphids! Despite my best efforts to keep them away. Guess I need some lady bugs!
@@plantsbymelissa they have a formula now specifically for houseplants. Not sure if that makes a difference but maybe the formulation is a bit different? I’d have to check the label, but I am not sure mites are one of the pests granules control. It does work on thrips and aphids for sure. Pests are such a hassle! I want to try some ladybugs, but not sure the hubby would be a fan of them flying around the house, LOL.
🪴🪴Almost 25K, congratulations! Love the Hoyas! Thanks for info and showing them off! 🪴I love the repotting cart idea! I have all of my stuff in a pile! hehe
Star is quite the charmer. I love her paw action. Beautiful plants. I love hoyas. I think some of my larger plants would be better on a stand, too. Thanks for sharing!
I have developed one of your habits. I am often removing leaves I don't like.😊 I love all your hoyas... who am I kidding I love ALL your plants. Lol. I appreciate and enjoy all your videos and have learned soo much from you. Thanks
Would love an update on your compacta after a couple weeks. I have some large Lowes/Home Depot Hoyas that need repotting. Last large hoya I repotted was a heritage carnosa and she almost died. Now I have several of them to put back together into one pot
Star is so cute!! ❤ We have a farm kitty that's really rubby like that. I love it. 😂 When you find bugs, do you worry about cross contamination through the soil or your tools? Or is that not something to worry about? I found spider mites on a newly repotted Ivy and felt like I needed to toss the soil mix in my bin because I filled the pot with it sitting in the bin. Luckily I only had a little bit in the bin.
Thank you! She's the cutest! I think I worry more about touching in between plants and spreading them that way. I'm such a leaf petter! I don't really worry about my soil getting spider mites but I don't think they would live very long without feeding on a plant. If it gives you peace of mind then toss it!
Thank you! I still have several left to repot but I'll definitely do a part 3 :) The potting mat is old, it was gifted a long time ago but her site is www.theplantdrip.co
An amazing thing has happened! My wife commented on the beauty of your Hoya Compacta so guess what I’m going to buy! Yippee! Also, recently I’ve started to combine multiple plants into one pot which is a great way to manage plant inventory and is a tidbit of plantology that I learned from you, the Plantologist Extraordinaire. Thanks for the excellent video.
I despise mealybugs worse than most other pests. Neem oil takes care of them but it can take some time. Also I haven’t experimented much with other brands of slow release fertilizer but I swear by osmocote plus for basically everything. I think dynamite makes good fertilizer too but I don’t use it. Im new to Hoyas so I have no idea how much nutrients they really need and what they will take up readily.
You have such a calm and soothing voice! It is meant for you to be a caretaker.. also I wanted you to know, if you don't know already that your name is greek and it means "bee". Sounds like you're on your destined path girl!! Keep doing the amazing videos!!! You are my remedy after a looong day of work hahah thank you
Yes! It’s star :) I feel like I don’t show her in my videos a lot because she’s always around my husband lol. But yes! I feel like they are in some ways 🥹
It is so fun watching you repoting . Obsessed with publicalyx splash❤. Just curious, where do u usually clean your potting mat and saucer trays😂 it is mixed with potting mix and water
I have fungus gnats so so bad right now. I thought it was because I put too much worm castings in my first try at a soil mix But now I'm thinking maybe it's because I have all of my favorite plants in the sol soil super chunky mix. I'm trying to let all my plants dry out this week So I can use peroxide on the soil because two weeks so far of mosquito bits has done absolutely nothing. 😢 I'm so sad
i recently got a hoya and it had been cut at each new growth point and it hasn't shown any signs of new growth. Do you think it will grow eventually, I'm still new to hoyas. Love all your vids ♥
i plan to get a kitten once i move to my new spot, i can only hope my kitten will be sweet like yours! :) also i eye your watering can everytime do you have a link for it?
In regards to your Hoya Compacta. I feel like I need to repot all my hoya when i get them home because they pot them in that peat and I've actually killed/overwatered quite a few hoya because of it. How do you water it when its in that peat mix?
I tend to neglect them honestly. I underwater my hoyas a lot. I usually wait until I see wrinkling or softening of the leaves then I give it a good soak. It seems to work this way for me!
Are stratum roots more similar to soil roots or water roots? You're giving me the motivation to pot up my stratum props. I've been so scared to put em in soil.
Light has helped mine grow so much and maybe check for broad or flat mites if they seem stunted. They’re really tiny so you need a microscope to see them and they love hoyas!
Just on the patio and it’s enclosed. I don’t trust what’s out there because we have hawks and alligators and I would I worry something would happen to them 😭
Sometimes I have a vine grow in that already has a peduncle forming but the plant usually has them growing already. But new leaves coming in are just new little leaves ☺️
