a week(ish) of plant chores watering, cleaning & checking on plant propagations.

[@jodidelong3663]

After watching quite a few different plant channels I can say you are one of my top two. You're knowledgeable, funny as hell, and a hoya enthusiast, which ticks a lot of boxes for me. My collection has somehow *become* a collection where it was just a few hoyas less than a year ago. And my wish list is expanding thanks to you. I hope by now your camera is repaired...there is nothing more annoying than misbehaving tech! Except misbehaving plants.

[@sheilacasper2030]

Miro, you love your Hoyas sooo much. I am sure they hear you and that is why they so often over achieve. It just makes me happy to see your loving care. This was a good video.

[@BasiePlants]

Haha :D Well, perhaps some need to hear me when I tell them to grow or bloom already 😅 Clearly they have selective hearing!

[@sallyfeldman1256]

There is no one with a better Hoya collection or Hoya knowledge than you. Thats what I tune in for. Plus you just crack me up. I do wonder though, what other types of plants are miro worthy🤔? How about a video showing us what you have.

[@BasiePlants]

I don't have many other plants, but I will definitely show them, most need a repot 😂

[@SLee-vc9gd]

I'm going to need that on a t-shirt! "Regret decision later, make mistakes now!" Lol, I adore you, you always lift my spirits.💚✌🏽

[@BasiePlants]

Hahaha :D Merch idea!

[@kristiemowry3267]

I would buy that one@@BasiePlants

[@SLee-vc9gd]

@@BasiePlants -I'd definitely buy it!!

[@planetplantuniverse]

you bring so much joy and brightness to my cynical and bitter little life. thank you for your videos, fellow continental person.

[@BasiePlants]

Awww, I am glad the video brought you some joy :D Don't worry, I am also mostly cynical 😂

[@suvivirtanen8242]

You lift my spirits! Thank you for the video!

[@BasiePlants]

I am glad to hear that

[@Howle250]

Omg!!!! Be still my heart!!! Hoyas so beautiful❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BasiePlants]

They really are

[@petraslukan6770]

I am waiting for your video about PON.😊..I really wonder what do you think about it...I have most of my hoyas in PON...they do grow, but I am not sure if I like roots...so I am thinking about new mixture to repot them...I want to keep selfwatering pots

[@diannklotzbier7447]

Beautiful pics, Miro

[@BasiePlants]

Thank you

[@deenahickey75]

Job well done Miro💚

[@annie5069]

I am still looking forward to a Hoya carnosa video - it would be a dream come true, ahaha. Do you know anything about Hoya Carnosa Flamingo Dream? Is it a new cultivar or just a fancy name to sell Hoya Carnosa Krimson Queen? Great video, as usual!

[@coen3466]

How do you know what potting mix would be best for what hoya? Like what sources do you use? I'm stressing out hahah Also!! Where do you sell your props?

[@milalapin4226]

Your video really motivated me to do some hoya chores:) thank you! also nice eye roll t shirtXD

[@BasiePlants]

Haha :D Yes, I love the shirt! It was a b-day gift.

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

Miro always look forward to your Hoya videos!! I do spend almost everyday taking care of my 100 plants which will be doubling within this year. I have added shelves in my living room and lights are ordered. I will be ordering ikea shelves and Misbro cabinet and lights soon for my room. I haven’t wanted to purchase any plants online until I have setup and lights ready for them. So lots of furniture building and light hanging and plant hanging in walls to do in Feb & March

[@BasiePlants]

Oh wow! You have BIG hoya plans this year! :D And I agree, that is a much better way to go about it than how I do it :D Get plants first, worry about space later 😅

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

@@BasiePlants I don’t always wait lol. I purchased 3 8” pots of Hoyas yesterday at my local BigBoxStore. I can’t pass those up. I’m waiting on the online ordering

[@amandamack9258]

I can’t wait for Miro’s Hoya album to drop in 2025

[@BasiePlants]

😂 I can't wait to record dramatic music videos for it.

[@PetraEmmy]

Miro.. I always enjoy your videos.. my "feels" are ready 👍🎉🌹

[@shannoncarr7338]

made for good napping hah you have beautiful plants but damn are you more happy or stressed? i love hoya but i always rot then so i only keep a few.

[@darlenescott6218]

Please make a play list!!

[@lagiomail]

I liked the playlist :)

[@BasiePlants]

Yay! :D

[@darlenescott6218]

Nice music!

[@BasiePlants]

Thanks! :)

[@roxanedawn3752]

I needed to watch you for Hoya help. Because I became a Hoya addict. You have taught me so much! Watering habits....You're so funny....You don't recognize the word "water"😂. It's a foreign word here, too! Then your reservoir was dry. Just your hair inside!😅 Ya. Serious note: Svetlana has black dots. She's beautiful; but what is that?

[@BasiePlants]

She is unwell lol. I mean, the roots have rotten and the black dots on Hoya leaves are typically fungal. In most cases not really an issue, but sometimes can become one.

[@badAngi]

I think my heart is now broken... root mealy can climb up the stem and restarting them may not be affective...😭🤢😭 thank you for saying that.

[@BasiePlants]

Same reaction when I heard this info :D Dreams shattered.

[@darlenescott6218]

Hey Murro!

[@vixistixi]

Thanks for the video, please can you explain why you no longer like growing in pon? I’m sorry if you’ve already said. I only have Hoya cuttings, I seem to kill them in soil & pon working on the whole. Thank you x

[@vixistixi]

Ohhh I’m looking forward to the ‘rant on pon ‘ x

[@BasiePlants]

It is coming soon :D

[@plant_bonkers]

Please please please reveal name on that systemic for mealies 🙏

[@BasiePlants]

I am not sure if its available elsewhere, but it is Confidor. I know some systematic granules are available an used in gardening in places like Australia. However, I try to avoid using it and find more natural treatments - sous vide, hydrogen peroxide drench will reduce populations, etc... :) (this is also for root mealybug)

[@BasiePlants]

For regular mealybug, I am using a DIY spray: mineral oil, castille soap and water.

[@plant_bonkers]

@@BasiePlantsthank you Miro root bastards are killing me past month 😢🤬

[@graces.garden]

“You’re surely not gonna stop me I’m gonna delete every comment that says to stop”🤣

[@BasiePlants]

Not even hiding this is not a democracy. You are either on board with my idea of downsizing, which is not downsizing at all, or you will be silenced. 😂

[@graces.garden]

@@BasiePlants bahahaha well in that case I would like to make it clear for the record that I am 100% supportive of your downsizing decisions😆
