Here in the US that’s a Polyneura Broget, not a variegated Poly. We have Green, Broget, Silver, Outer Variegated, and Inner Variegated. That’s the order of $$ too 😜. The prices of all the varieties are coming down, luckily.

Interesting. Thank you it certainly makes researching this plant easier 🥰 the polyneura is not one I’ve seen a lot here in Belgium. Hopefully that changes 🤞🏼

I hope your Hoya deykeae survives, mine didn't even last a week 😞 literally withered within three days. Of the three plants I bought from them, only the monstera Peru variegata survived. Keeping my fingers crossed! 🤞🏻

Next time try pon. I had a deykeae about 2 yrs ago, it didn’t survive a month. I purchased another late last year and repotted it in pon. It’s doing very well under a grow light and it’s sun stressing beautifully. When my Hoyas come in soil, I repot them in pon. If they arrive in some sort of orchid bark mix, I leave the Hoyas in that mix as the plant won’t retain too much moisture and water to kill its root system.

Towards the beginning part of video you are saying "don't buy a plant just bc its cheap and dont buy bc you're having a bad day". Whelp i just did both... i bought 15 plug plants, 10 of which are alocasias. Bc they were super cheap & buy 5 get 1 free plus reduced shipping. Now they're otw to me and reality of the situation is hitting me 🤦‍♀️😩 like wtf did i do?! I am really really short on space(basically have to have them all in my bedroom) & don't know where tf they're all gonna go yet. 😂 ima make it work. But really don't know where they will go if i can actually grow them to maturity. Will cross that bridge when i get to it lmfao. But lesson learned.

@staywildmoonchild2318 7 күн бұрын
But on other hand am excited for all the alocasias! Got a few OG like jacklyn & frydek. Then got green unicorn, mandalay, dragons breath. Reginae, something kapit?, nobilis, the one called black panther and can't remember the others right now. But i do plan to try and put them all in semi hydro which i have almost zero experience with. Since they're plugs, do u think i should put them in water or stratum first before i put them in pon? Or just go straight to pon? They will be here tomorrow & am trying to prepare so im not as overwhelmed lol. Bc they're all arriving basically just in the plug wrapped in wet paper towel so theyve all got to be potted up immediately. I also got my first anthurium, a clairnervium, a philo joepii, pilea peperomioides,a jose bueno for only $4 usd! And i know im forgetting something lol. But all their plugs are basically a 3 or 4 inch pot size plant. They're huge. Soooo tomorrow my adhd brain is gonna be on overload. Definitely living with buyers regret right now.

I would personally first put them in stratum and then pon. I have gone from soil to pon before, but I’ve also lost a lot of plants that way. Stratum is just a nice buffer and easier for the roots to adjust 👌🏼💚
@staywildmoonchild2318
@staywildmoonchild2318 7 күн бұрын
@myjunglestory thank you! Thats what i was leaning towards too. Do u have a general kinda time period you leave them before transferring to pon? Oh and do you put your stratum in cups with holes or no? I'm worried about giving them root rot with too much water in cup. Ive only got a little bit of experience with it but used a cup with drainage in a semi hydro kind of setup and it worked well. So am a lil nervous about doing it with no drainage

Hi😅 I have seen your recent videos and about your dilemma to buy from the seller again. Yes, I agree that they have a great selection of hoyas and other plants. But their customer support was great. I guess they sent me another begonia but it also came poorly and died in a day. I live in Germany and the shop is from NL, so I am not sure why the shipping is bad. I wrote them in the note while ordering that please hydrate the sensitive plants before shipping and still they arrived dried. But it is what it is. Probably hoyas and aroids are more robust to recover from dehydrated shipping. So good luck with your plant journeys and love your collection and videos ❤🎉😊
