A correction - yellow flowered Hoya in the tent is blashernaezii, not benguetensis. Hoya benguetensis is one that needs to move in and I shan’t even mention the condition of benvergarai. 😅 I guess next time don’t record at 2 a.m. Miro 🙈

[@Marlur]

The cat stole the show for me lol. Can’t wait to see the terrarium plants~

[@saramarie9455]

Kitten is sooooo so so sweet, what a sweetheart sweetie pie

[@lisaleaves6360]

What a cute kitty! She was ready for her close up 🤣

[@Miles_Hoffman]

Meow! I kept the gray kitty that showed up same as yours, she had 5 kittens 🐈‍⬛ got them all homes and love her - great hoya too 😊

[@kathylovejoy2569]

I like transplanting my plants in the middle of the night as well. Same reason, no one around, to distract me. That way it is very relaxing.

[@giagia9974]

Anything you choose to make a video of, I’ll watch. It’s motivating to watch you work on your Hoyas. Maybe I’ll do one thing today 🙂 And seeing how nice you are with the cat 🫠 Lastly, flower pot souvide is GENIUS!

[@BasiePlants]

I do have genius moments! Haha, me "chasing away" the cat is basically our every day. "nooo, stop getting into the hoyas! Okay okay come for the pets"

[@robinhavens695]

Love your kitty visitor 💚😻💚

[@BasiePlants]

She is very cute

[@pc3235]

Miro, thank you for your thoughtful and relaxing videos. I have learned so much from you. 😍

[@Suadade1983]

Thank you so much for the time you put into all of your content. 🤗

[@hoedown175]

I’m saving this for when I have to do plant chores and need a body double motivation ❤

[@Plantlifewithnina]

I just love the quiet repots!!! I video most of them for my channel but some are just my alone time with my plants with some relaxing music. Enjoy!!! 🪴🙋🏼‍♀️🌿

[@l.c.737]

Absolutely love kitty visiting 💕

[@ferdisverdants]

Miro's cooking channel, with a twist, how to cook mealy bugs perfectly 😆

[@BasiePlants]

Mealybugs al dente.

[@lovesyorkies3395]

😍😍😍😍 the leaves on your Hoya albiflora!!!! All your Hoyas are beautiful!! 🪴🪴

[@BasiePlants]

that plant got HUGE and GORGEOUS! I must record an update on it soon :D

[@carissaseguin2283]

You doing plant chores encourages me to do mine lol

[@l.c.737]

I like the holiday music 😊

[@samtata5632]

That is a Lot of preventative pot cleaning ! Bleach , hot water , alcohol . Is that a homeless cat ? Also I really enjoyed the gentle instrumental Christmas song .. I very much enjoyed that version.

[@user-id4nh1qe3o]

So it's been awhile! Enjoyed just watching you do your chores, late at night since I work nights anyway!

[@PetraEmmy]

Oh that sweet kitty 🐱❤ Miro I appreciate all the hiuas you are growing..I have a few but after awhile they all look the same because in all my years the only one to constantly bloom is my outer variegated hoya bella.

[@BasiePlants]

Oh I am sure you will get others to bloom too, some just take more time than others :)

[@beeng77]

Hope for a better june for you as well Miro, really enjoyed this video. Had to make sure I sat down and watch it without being disturbed because I was afraid I would miss something😅. As someone with adhd my plant chores tend to be all chaos so I am glad to see that you included different topics, segments and location as well. The cat was a bonus too😊

[@Samwithatan]

I am.so happy you got so much done. I need to do some repotting too...

[@Miramala]

ohhhhh soooo beautiful!!!! 🐾🐾❤️😍

[@amymarshall1829]

I'm also a "night owl" who prefers to do chores when I'm by myself, which ends up being late at night. In my case, my repotting efforts are very much like my efforts in wrapping Christmas presents every year. The first one goes quickly and well and I think to myself, "I'm pretty good at this. I'll knock this out in less than an hour." Flash forward two to three hours later and I'm still toiling away and cursing myself and everything and everyone I've ever known. I'm sure that's very healthy. 😶

[@peggyp3682]

I always feel a bit more educated about where and how to look for pests after one of these videos.

[@BasiePlants]

That's a great compliment! :D

[@suvivirtanen8242]

Thanks for the nice long video!

[@BasiePlants]

I hope you enjoyed it

[@latilati1]

Nagyon nagyon sok gyönyörű viràg🥰

[@BasiePlants]

Köszi

[@mykale007]

I like the quiet peaceful repottings!!! What size pots did you transfer from & what size did you repot in? I have some in 2”/2.5” that I need to repot. I don’t wanna go too big, but want to make sure a trellis will fit.

[@BasiePlants]

I went from 8cm pots to 12cm ones :) Google says that is about from 3" to 4" :)

[@CynthiaDurham-Springer]

Hi there, I’m so enjoying your music.

[@BasiePlants]

I am glad to hear it :)

[@sheilacasper2030]

Wow wow wow! You did a lot of repotting! All your hoyas are looking really good. I have a kentiana too. It just is not doing very good. In fact i think it is about half dead. Oh well…

[@BasiePlants]

Haha, all the hoyas I showed! :P Yeah, kentianas can be a bit tricky. It is not a difficult plant, but can also suddenly go downhill very fast.

[@eTommyiy]

I definitely need to see a dedicated video for all of your Hoya caudata varieties! By the way, what is the kentiana/wayetii deal? Is wayetii no longer a thing? I had a look on Kew plant index and they both are still listed, so any info on that would be appreciated.

[@BasiePlants]

There will be one in the future for sure :) Well, that is still unresolved, but essentially, they are going to be kentianas, and further more that may be clumped under another species. We will have to wait and see :D

[@margaretcalifano1617]

The caudata gold is gorgeous! Do caudatas in general need more moisture?

[@BasiePlants]

The smaller leaved clones like Sumatra one are okay in normal conditions, bigger leaved clones need higher humidity. In general, caudatas don't want to fully dry out.

[@TeedyASMR]

idk if you'd ever want to do a video of the most succulent/thickest hoya there are but i've been looking for a list somewhere and can't find any 🥲 would love to hear someone talk about that! sometimes when i order a hoya online that i've never seen in person i'm like oh def thought these leaves were going to feel different lol

[@BasiePlants]

That is an interesting Idea! I will have to think about which ones are the most succulent. Jennifer is I believe at the top!

[@TeedyASMR]

@@BasiePlants See I never would have guessed that, Jennifer leaves appear so thin to me just by looking at photos!❣️

[@pc3235]

Miro, I love how your perlite looks. Could you share the brand? My perlite is so small and dusty. I need to upgrade to yours. 🙏🙏

[@BasiePlants]

I use Plagron perlite :) I don't think it is that big though.... I think you can probably get bigger in the states. I see that Fern uses some REALLY nice perlite, but she is in Canada.

[@ABilySecretly]

🌞🌱

[@tessamartens8338]

I think you need to share a portion of the KZbin revenue from this video with the cat.

[@BasiePlants]

Uhm, she pays no rent so no. The least she can do is attract some viewers!

[@PinkPuffinGirl]

Hi. I wanted to know where can I find the book the guide to Hoyas? I’m in the US and Amazon has it for $600.00 😳 Love your videos. I’m a new subscriber. Take care.

[@BasiePlants]

I am not sure, I got it from a patron as a gift. But I am sure it was nowhere near that. It is harder to find these days as it is out of print.

[@PinkPuffinGirl]

@@BasiePlants thank you so much! I look forward to catching up on your videos. I’m learning a lot and you are very entertaining! Be well! 🙏🤗

[@nazhussain8232]

REPORTING WITH COCOPEAT OR BARK ?

[@tericapp9253]

Definitely ALL your fault. I’m up to 90 Hoya. I go from room to room encouraging “Grow for Mommy”. My husband follows behind threatening “Machete Machete”. 😂🪴😎
