5 Hoyas I Am Loving Right Now

[@BasiePlants]

Not gonna lie, that rouge strand of hair has been making me mad for couple of days. Do not comment on it. DO NOT COMMENT ON IT! 😡

Hehe ❤

[@bigtomatoplantslover6205]

Lovely plants 🪴 Like it ❤️ My friend, thank you for good sharing 😊

[@BasiePlants]

Thank you for watching :)

[@MmmYams]

I enjoyed your video! I just have a few hoyas so far, but I love all of them: Krinkle 8, compacta, obovata splash and my latest is a cutting of what I think is krimson princess. I'm looking forward to your carnosa video!

[@BasiePlants]

After this, you will have 10 more, I promise. 😂

[@tammycastillo9447]

Loved the video! So hard to pick only five favorites but it would have to be Hoya Mathilde (blooming like crazy), Joy (living up to her name), Lacunosa Silver-Lime, Variegated Burtoniae, and NGG

[@BasiePlants]

I love those too :D NGG is truly a beauty and my 'Joy' is starting to look much better than those old leaves it arrived with :D

[@ofreefallo]

Ooh yes! Right now I love: 1. Wilbur Graves 2. Priktai (Russian) 3. Undulata 4. Thomsonii 5. Cagayenensis

[@PeckmasterK]

Can you do a video about your Hoya with the largest leaves? Maybe including tips to encourage the bigger growth? I have been considering getting a plant advertised as “Hoya dinner plate” and I love the idea of a giant Hoya vine.

[@BasiePlants]

I could! :D It might take a moment though :)

[@amandasaenz1848]

You have a beautiful collection of Hoya's 🫶🍃🤗

[@BasiePlants]

Thanks! :)

[@_hazplants]

Currently, it's really super difficult to pick five hoyas because they're all trying their hardest right now to be the most enchanting hoya in the world. But in fact, some treasures do linger for a while, and number 5 is definitely one of those beauties _H. heuschkeliana variegata_ . She was the first cutting I accidentally planted rather horizontally, causing her to initially grow in circles inside the pot. Even though this is not everyone's cup of tea, I now try to get this right with every new cutting, because this way roots are formed at potentially every node that comes close to the substrate, which look very healthy to me, and at these nodes the tendency to sprout itself is hormonally somewhat more favorable. And so she's actually sprouting totally wild right now, which is exactly what you want in Heuschkelianas. Oh, and her main shoot looks equally good hanging as tied up, which is not something every hoya can claim. Number 4 is my _H. elliptica_ . The beginning was so difficult, and the cutting lost all leaves, so really had to start from scratch as a wetstick. But for that, she does what I absolutely love her for: short internodes and basically two leaves per node, none of which she discarded. It gives that adorable dragon scale look that is especially accentuated by her many shades of green, bright white venation, and a constant, not-too-high amount of splash. And I just discovered three new sprouts! Number 3 is _H. sp. 'Chicken Farm'_ . Aside from producing really great splashy foliage that is beautiful to the touch, my clone has now produced its fifth leaf in a row with certain "brightenings" that collectors take note of with an excited gasp. A hybrid by Mike Bernado has taken second place: _H. 'Nathalie'_ ( _H. erythostemma X H. 'Joy'_ ( _H. sp. Laos X H. vitellina_ )). Under my conditions, the foliage is bright lemon-green, lemon-shaped, and has wide, contrasting margins in a deep purple. There could hardly be anything more beautiful.... ... except perhaps the number 1! For combining very compact growth, gorgeous, bright green, very dark, wavy leaf margins, feel and growth rate, she deserves the win: _H. sp. AH-556 Seeds - 002_ . This foliage is from another star. I just can't look away. It would be a dream to tease some more splash out of her. Is anyone else selecting for this by chance? If you are still reading this comment, thank you, but there is another reason why I have something special to celebrate right now: At this very moment, I'm watching my very first hoya flower open... _H. carnosa 'Krimson Queen'_ is giving me this beautiful moment. And yet, I almost missed it. After a full day of hard work in the garden, all I really wanted to do was go to sleep as quickly as possible when I happened to see a wink and was suddenly wide awake again. Somehow I still managed to start a timelapse video. It would be so great if the recording is good, and I could save this unique moment.

[@BasiePlants]

I have been wanting to get AH-556 seeds 002 for the longest time! I think the leaves are very pretty. I don't know that anyone is selecting for a splashier version. I adore my hesuckeliana too

[@mamakimsplants]

I love that last one it’s so darn cute!!

[@TheQueensWish]

Hi Miro! This video was most interesting. They are beautiful. I’m always learning from you and I appreciate your channel so much. My current 5 favs (no particular order): Hoya Joy; Hoya Chicken Farm; Hoya Kerrii variegated; Hoya Numlaroides; Hoya Latifolia

[@BasiePlants]

I am glad you enjoyed the video :) I love my ‘Joy’ and finlaysonii (Chicken Farm) ❤️ Such gorgeous leaves!

[@stephaniefullenwider1132]

Hello Miro, thank you for another awesome video. I wish I could grow beautiful Hoya like you. I haven’t quite figured out how to keep them alive. The micro dwarf is so freaking cute!!! I just love your personality, enthusiasm, and knowledge. Thank you!

[@BasiePlants]

They are not so hard :) Takes a bit of trial and error. I will try to make some content that will help everyone understand them better

[@od.vandeveer]

My top 5 are lacunosa silver ( first one to bloom after many years of 0 blooms ), multiflora ( hope the buds wont blast this time ), caudata, obovata and thomsonii because of the hairy leaves

[@BasiePlants]

Caudata is also a favorite of mine

[@joanneklaus9242]

Great vidéo as usual Miro 😊 My top 5 hoyas are : Hoya lacunosa from Durian Perangin waterfall (which is blooming at the moment) Hoya lacunosa royal flush (a constant bloomer 😁) Hoya hellwigiana ( her sunstress foliage is to die for and the smell of the flowers is really pleasant) Hoya cv Patricia ( constant bloomer too) Hoya campanulata splash ( the foliage 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾)

Well, I started long ago with African violets, then Gesneriads, orchids, aroids. I promised myself no Hoya collecting. Now I have 14 different ones since I began watching your channel. I can blame you. I can’t give a favorite yet, since there’s a shiny new one every day

[@BasiePlants]

What a beautiful journey! And so many more beautiful hoya to enjoy too! :D

What Im looking few times a day now because they are so good right now -hoya insularis, hoya minibelle splash, hoya michelle, hoya caudata sumatra, hoya rebecca 🤩

[@veganmagick7251]

Did you get rid of the bugs?

[@bubbyanne2]

Great video. I would love to see more of your Carnosa collection. My Hoya collection is more common but the top five favorites right now would be Heuskeliana var., Rotundiflora, Elliptica, Finlaysonii and my new Serpens. They are all pushing new growth making me happy.

[@BasiePlants]

There will be separate carnosa highlight video, WORRY NOT! :D I have a new elliptica that I adore too

[@bubbyanne2]

I’m looking forward to it, I love Carnosas they may be common but they aren’t basic. Tenchonongensis is definitely on the wish list and now Hoya sp. NS12-323, what a stunner that one is. 😍 Actually most of my wish list comes from your videos if I’m honest. 😂

[@susanhinton1923]

Love your videos ;i am hoping you can give me a few tips as to why my Serpins isn't flowering ,I have had for several years and in total have probably had three sets of flowers ; it grows peduncles constantly ; they just keep getting longer and longer some are up to 2 inches long but no flowers ;it is growing well as it sends out plenty of new growth ; would send photos but cant see where to attach them ; I live in New Zealand ;winter at the moment ; but summers are over 25 degrees Celsius ; I dont grow my plants in grow tents . I thought you might have some ideas

[@Jo85anna]

Yes so hard to pick only five but it would have to be Hoya pubicalix 'Hawaiian Purple'; sigilatis; burtonia variegata; fungii x rhp; and heuschkeliana variegata.😁

Hmm, 5 favorites right now? H lacunosa, just the plain one, its very cute and a great grower and bloomer plus to me the blooms smell great. Maybe my all time favorite is any H. heuschkeliana, maybe the flowers are less great than others but I love the leaves. I got a H caudata sumatra and I didn't expect to love it but I unexpectedly do!!! #4 H. obscura sun-stressed. H rebecca or H iris-marie or H rosita in 5th place.

Your medinillifolia is growing so fast! What new Hoyas are there in the back? 🧐 I’d really love to have the NS-323, but I haven’t seen it available much in the Facebook groups. My favorite 5 Hoyas right now are undulata, clemensiorum, nervosa, meredithii, and a lacunosa with green and brown leaves with no splash that stress black who’s name I’m not sure of. April Mall recently released lacunosa “long black leaves” - do you know anything about that cultivar name?

[@BasiePlants]

Some new hoyas that will be the topic of my next video :) maybe :D Oh I hope you can find NS12-323. It is a fantastic plant to have. Sadly, I don't know anything about lacunosa long black leaves - this sounds like a description, not a cultivar name. I think it's best to ask April :)
