10 Hoyas That (kind of) Disappointed Me

[@BasiePlants]

I think the conclusion here is that I need to get more of the hoyas I dislike 😅

[@lelew2308]

I do this all the time😂😂😂. I guess I like the disappointment

[@lelew2308]

Ok so I’ve FINALLY watched the entire vid! I love and have great success a few of the ones you have BUT polyneura and Keri. My Imbricata is going crazy! I put her in a closed container in my cabinet. I find they LOVE LOVE LOVE high humidity. The higher the better. Side note I could listen to to you all day! Lol. Ur my bff in my head

[@BasiePlants]

Here's another reason why everyone should subscribe to your channel. You are just so darn funny and entertaining 😆 obviously I love your videos for the knowledge I get from them but mostly it's for your clumsiness and the crazy things you say. 😜 you biggest fan Vicky 😍

[@jhernandez335xi]

My globulosa is amazingly gorgeous. Looks nothing like yours. I got her from a grower in California who has amazing Hoyas.

[@geslinam9703]

I’ve been growing Hoyas since the 1980s, I saw my first carnosa in bloom as a kid in Texas, and fell in love. I brought a few cuttings home on the plane, still have that plant. Back before they were so readily available, I grew most from single cuttings I got from other growers….and I can say from experience, most Hoyas are only good when they are young plants, they just don’t age well. They get too big, too heavy, too ungainly, and often unattractive as older plants. There are no hanging pots big enough for the monsters these plants can become. You get to a point where the only thing you can do is either buy a huge greenhouse, or find the space to put them in a floor pot next to a wall trellis.

[@tanja9285]

Kerrii. Was trying to offer it the best growing conditions I could, but it only grew a couple of leaves, ended up looking deformed and ugly. Slowly I started to neglect it, but it wouldn't die either 🤨

[@BasiePlants]

The worst is when you neglect them and they are okay with it 😂😂😂 But kerrii can definitely get very ugly 🙈

[@tanja9285]

Maybe finally I can watch a hoya video without buying any of the hoyas mentioned in the video.. 🤔🙏🏻

[@BasiePlants]

Finally 😂😂😂 No worries, I will make sure to tempt you with the next one 😈

[@tanja9285]

@@BasiePlants hmm okay.. may I make a suggestion then? The prettiest hanging hoyas? Because I have some space for those. Ok thanks 🙏🏻🤓

[@annettearrington957]

I thought I would love obovata because I love big thick leaves, but I do not🤷🏻‍♀️

[@stacey8073]

100% imbricata. I was so excited to get it and for months have been struggling. Root rot twice, would not shingle, only wants to taco. It’s currently down to a two leave cutting and honestly I just might Marie Kondo it out of my life because it sparks zero joy 😂

[@BasiePlants]

Same 😂 It did not have root rot but it refuses to be what I want it to be. I would be okay if she did something else, but nice, however, that is not the case 😂

[@brooklin_bernek]

Omgggg same!!!! Mine is growing but it’s like hmmm yeah you weren’t what I thought what you would be 😂😂😂😂😂

[@luzminfernandez5698]

“They don’t look good because I don’t like them” 😂 I chuckled so many times watching this. Unfortunately I only have two carnosas but they have been so slow to grow that they may fall eventually into my own list of Hoyas I didn’t care for. We’ll see.

[@denlillagrodan]

To me globulosa is the hoya that first comes to mind for the opposite category, didn’t really think much of it and then I fell in love! Also have a growing affection for kerrii and can’t wait to have a full pot of polyneura. Maybe I should try some other hoyas on this list… 😅

[@cure.couture]

My kerrii was like a mummy since 2019 - this summer 2022 FINALLY she started putting out new leaves. :D

[@alexandrar.7407]

Never liked polyneura and imbricata so it make me happy that you started to share my VERY unpopular opinion. I'm really struggling to love my globulosa and kerii, just because they don't look how I want them to look, but definitely not going to give up on them since I still like them.

This vid had me DYING!!! 😂😂😂Thank you for your brutal honesty (though I agreed with you on every bit of it lol) - glad I’m not alone with my hoya dislikes 🙈

Oh there are definitely other ones that I could add here. It is nice to wait and see them bloom but they don't have to stick around forever 😂 Not all are permanent residents here!

[@mayeliz]

Hoya Kerrii, absolutely. I'm just waiting for it to produce 5 big perfect heart leaves, so I can make heart plants for my grandchildren. After that it goes in the compost

[@BasiePlants]

😂😂😂 It is a nice idea until you get one and grow one. Then it all changes 😬

[@katrinav.8503]

maybe you are not watering enough your Archi? just give it some love and it will love you back) I mean, the flowers are totally worth it! I don't hate any , except for imbricate and all her disgusting salami sisters . its so gross.🤢

[@BasiePlants]

Oh I am definitely not watering my archboldiana enough 😂 And do you want me to tell you how I feel about this need for crazy amounts of water? 😂 I will try to do better though, I promise!

[@lRegulus]

Thank you for this! These are just my observations, which probably apply more for keeping hoyas in equatorial climates. With myself near the equator, ony/arch/macgilliv and the other non-eriostemma larger flowers are easier to handle due to the naturally warmer temperatures. I highly recommend going ahead with Hoya stenakei (might I recommend albiflora too!). It is much hardier than the other large flower hoyas due to its thicker leaves (like, literally kerrii kind of thick). Generally, those with large flowers need to grow large before flowering. There is a clone of kerrii with small leaves from Vietnam. With latifolia, it needs to grow into a huge mess (as you call it) before it shoots out a huge vine with like 30-50 peduncles and all of it flowers at once. That, imo is the beauty of latifolia - besides the foliage. Perhaps, might I suggest sp. IV from WMZ - it's a latifolia type which is kinda okay with cooler weather and stresses to a bright red much more easily! For blooming polyneura, you can try placing it in a very well ventilated spot, and spam flowering feed at it, high humidity not necessary (>40-50% will do). The Nepalese variant (the one with flatter leaves) is much more difficult to get flower than the Vietnamese variant (slightly wavy leaves). Imbricata, the roots need to be able to cling to something, and the best for that is really wood/bamboo. They don't really like moss, unfortunately. Perhaps you can try fernbark? This is an unusual one that needs high humidity and lower light. Linearis, for me, on the other hand, is a nightmare. Other nightmares are: buntokensis, greenii, surisana, undulata (long leaf clone)

[@minniexx7394]

Genevieve, GPS 7240, , Colonel Meekins, Rintzii Borneo, & every other Hoya I’ve ever had that was a statue for a year or more. 🤣

[@mayasixtus1573]

I've started using bonsai technique for shaping my hoya Kerii. I take wire, wrap it in a small spiral and wrap it around the vine. You can slowly bend the vines using the wire to keep it in place.

[@betsybegonia]

Hoya imbracata stresses me out. 😬

[@loretajulian9469]

I collected several Pubicalyx hoyas and recently gave them away. Thay just seem to grow and grow and never produce flowers. Space is a commodity and i prefer slower growing hoyas with exotic leaves. Thank you, I got that off my chest!!

[@BasiePlants]

I also don't like pubicalyxs as much. I find pubicorolla to be much nicer, despire lack of splash. :)

[@cathijones3924]

When I first started collecting Hoyas I wanted everyone that was recommended on KZbin videos. I kind of went crazy with purchasing them. Now that I have had so many for nine months, I have found that there are some I just don’t care for. My Multiflora had lots of peduncles then most of the flowers kept falling off before they fully opened. The Krimson Princess I had just didn’t appeal to me and I really tried to like it because a lot of people do. I have two Kerrii and don’t care for the solid green one. Some of these Hoyas are now living with my sister. LOL She may end up with some more.

[@ofreefallo]

Subquintuplinervis.... idjk, she was rotted when I got her so maybe she's just taking a long time to re-root, but ugh.

[@katjapes]

In my experience kerrii takes her time before it really gets going but after that it grows like weeds. Even though the vines are much sturdier you can still bend them to your liking. I was losing mind with my unruly vines and it was a game changer for me. Now that it's that big i just chop off deformed leaves and unwanted vines.

[@MorganaDevina80]

Hoya callistophylla......but that's only because it hasn't grown.

[@betsybegonia]

I constantly ask myself why I have Hoya undulata.

[@Dieppaloveplants]

Do you know that if u let your hoya trailing it will activate a diferent grow point and make another plant i did it with my silver and now i have to silver

[@tw9307]

Hoya linearis for me. Mine keeps aborting leaves so there are a lot of long empty vines. I know It’ll do better if I give it more light but im quite underwhelmed. Hoya polyneura was on my wishlist for a long time but then I saw it in person in my local plant shop and was just meh about it.

[@Janette0220]

wayetti was instant disappointment for me, then it got root mealies and i had to cut and prop cuz it was pretty expensive here in australia, so i tried to keep it alive. one year later and its finally pushed out 2 bitsy new leaves and they are skinny like a sheperdii/ tsangii/ parviflora, all of which would just cost a fifth of what ive paid for if thats the look im after... TAT

[@surgeinc1]

Hoya Retusa…why did I ever buy this plant..idk? Withered away in two weeks.

[@williammalone8097]

Gee, you've described about 90% of the hoyas I want! Oops. I do agree with you concerning Latafolia Sarawak. I have one outside in my GH and all it does is sit there, says hello when I go in then goes back to sleep! That's ok though, I still love him. Enjoyed your discussion and learned a lot too. Thank you for these videos.

[@BasiePlants]

I think I will try to take a cutting from mine and maybe it will feel threaten by a chop. 😂 It is its last warning!

[@haagendazs2384]

so, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you talk about hoya nummularioides. It’s one of my favs. Thoughts? 🙂

[@annechenchar7601]

Ugh hoya Anulata. The leaves are so ugly in person and it’s such a slow grower. I’ve tried to get rid of it to no prevail

[@redlady3123]

Agree with many, but my ❤️ hurts about the Globulosa. I just got one Friday at Ecuagenera open house in Apopka, Fl and it is stunning. The pubescence under the leaves is incredible! 😮. The veining is beautiful too. Imbricada has always been a hard pass for me. No thanks!

[@BasiePlants]

Globulosas are pretty but impossible for me to trellis xD Maybe if I just let them go up.... We will see! But I love the leaves :)

[@redlady3123]

Mine has two thick new trailing vines that twisted to create a half circle loop on their own. Serious globe vibes which I thought was really cool. Wasn’t on the hunt for one but couldn’t pass it up. I’d get yours on a trellis for sure.

A lot of these plants I’ve passed over because my excitement for them was not enough to overlook the price. Appreciate this video a lot! My priorities are straight now (saving all my Hoya budget for undulata!! 😻)

[@BasiePlants]

Undulata does not disappoint! All of these were quite cheap ~ 10 euros for a cutting. A lot of the times if a cutting is cheap I give it a go and it is surprising how many times I end up loving them but definitely not always 😬

[@marilynlewis4587]

Your videos are making me poor, or should I say, "Poorer"! But it's okay. Because I just re watch your videos and make laugh and forget how much money i spent on Hoyas. My husband thinks I'm crazy for laughing over a video about plants. As long as he doesn't think I'm crazy for spending money on plants, I'm okay with that🤣

The good thing is that most people think those sticks were gifted to us. 😂 Or at least that is what people around me think. If they only knew the truth!

[@lisanowakow3688]

Of the Hoyas I have, regular unsplashy Hoya Kerii is the one that I dislike and it is loosing its twisty leaves.

[@lisanowakow3688]

I have some Hoya that take closer to three years to bloom.

[@magalieg273]

My disappointing hoya is my sunrise. Was looking for one, found a cutting that never grew, then my local nursery released very full, trailing 4 inch pots, got it right away... and it does nothing for me. :( I'm gonna give it away to my sister to make room for an archboldiana outer variegated. 👍

[@BasiePlants]

Hoya ‘Sunrise’ is pretty and mine grows okay but it makes a lot of mess when it blooms :( Not a problem with archboldiana 😂

[@PlantyMary]

Miro, I just came accross this video. 7 out of 10 are either some of my favorites that I own or in my wishlist 🤣. How can you NOT like globulosa?! It's on my top-10!!! (btw I 100% agree on the undulata - for those who don't like it: what's wrong with you people?!)

Didn’t ask for this video but it’s definitely helpful! Now I’m pushing back buying some hoyas from my wish list and buying others first instead

These can definitely go to the back of your list 😂

[@renealee]

I just brought a Kerri. I like the thick plump leaves. 2 years in and none of my Hoyas have bloomed, so I doubt I'll have to worry about Kerri's sap. Lol! I get them for the foliage, so as long as it keeps shooting out leaves.

They are all super healthy, this year they have given me huge glossy healthy leaves, they're clearly happy. But not 1 bloom. Nothing, not even a suffering petiole. Every cutting I get takes immediately and grows well and pretty fast. I know they love my home, with its high humidity that's bad for me, but I don't fight it for love of my plants, lol.

Hoya onychioides is not hard to grow for me, but it takes so much space. I grow it in Seramis succulent mix on a north facing window without any artificial lights added. But some hoyas I was not able to grow, I could not find a medium they can grow in their roots without rotting away. Hoya cv Mathilde, Hoya cv Sunrise, Hoya Campanulata and Hoya Mappigera. Dissappointing to me is also Hoya cv Jennifer. Its growing well, but the leaves on my plant are not pretty. No veins, just plain green leaves.

[@elizabethtaylor1288]

i put my imbricata in a terracotta pot. it looked like it wasn't doing anything, then one day another leaf appeared. someone suggested more light and wood, I did put a piece of wood in the pot, no attachment yet. I am facinated with mine and yesterday I found another new leaf, this one is red at the moment. surprise! I have an incrasatta (eclipse) it's put out a few leaves and has a long vine, yesterday I found a second growth point. My globulosa is growing slowly and the leaves are uniform in size and pattern . And the kerrii's , also slow growing for me, one leaf at a time. As for others, I almost didn't like H deykeae but now it is fuller with large leaves. Love the videos, I've learned so much watching you this past year. I'm up to over 90 species and over 100 plants. Sometimes I wish there was a way to share some of my pictures

[@asinglebraincell6584]

Hoya Serpens. It hasn't done anything since I got it. It's buffering I suppose, or just indecisive about whether it wants to live or die. Which is strange because I took a vine that had rooted on the soil out of the pot, and it hasn't grown or died either. I heard it's temperature but I moved them months ago and still nothing yet.

[@pgklowak]

Really enjoyed this video. You verbalized some of the thoughts that cruise through my mind. I'm just thinking that as soon as my polyneura reroots, I'm selling it. Also I agree about the incrassata. I bought it over a year ago and wasn't loving it, then it put out a beautiful variegated leaf that was almost as pretty as my 'Lisa'. I was hopeful, follow that with spider mites, root rot, it fast came a problem child. I split it up and rooted it yet again. Gave my sister half and she is liking hers, but honestly the new leaves are losing variegation and the new leaf shape is all curled in - reminds me of the tounge on the rolling stones album - only it's green. And kerri never did anything for me. Can't wait for your next 2 top 10 videos

I think in couple of days I might get a hoya I previously said I don’t like and you told me I just need to see it in person :D So if it surpasses my expectations, expect to see your name pop up in next few videos 😂 I would forgive archboldiana if she’d bloom!

100% agree on kerrii. I'm just underwhelmed. 🙈
