I also did not appreciate this week. I appreciate you though. Thanks again for hanging out with me

[@Reecezpeecez]

I want to see the terrarium! I'm going through my begonia era. Also, you introduced me to episcia, and I'd love to see more of those.

[@od.vandeveer]

I would like a terrarium update, please dont chicken out

[@warviolet7262]

Your plant collection is as stunning and glorious as that hair!

[@lindsayanne3076]

Perfect timing. I have plant chores lined up for today and need a buddy.

[@BasiePlants]

Oh, excellent then! I will gladly be your plant chores buddy :D

[@amyfbowers]

I am onboard for terrarium plants Miro! However, your plant chores vids are some of my favorites that I watch as I work along.

[@BasiePlants]

I am glad you like them

[@dianemottram3060]

I find your thinking out loud processing very helpful...and watching you make a mix. Love those healthy roots!

[@BasiePlants]

I love how you gave a fancy name to my rambling 😂 I love the healthy roots too

[@Wubblyt]

Im down for an introduction to your terrarium plants Even though I am mainly here because of the Hoya content…. Your other vids are equally fun to watch 🌱🌸

[@BasiePlants]

Oh, no worries, I will make it my goal to hook everyone to other plants than Hoya. :D

[@hoedown175]

I love watching your repot videos

[@PetraEmmy]

Oh that microphylla is soooo cute!

[@Hoyalicious]

Okaaaay I got the hint! I will send them next week 🙈

[@TrishsOrchidLife]

Love your chore videos as I do some along with you. And it must be the day for dropping and knocking! I have dropped and knocked so much today I have decided to leave everything out and put away tomorrow 😂❤🌸

[@BasiePlants]

Let's face it, every day is a dropping and knocking things off day for me 😂

[@saramarie9455]

💚💚💚🫶🏼you are great Miro!!! Thank you for your videos💚💚💚🌱 Finally getting my new hoyas out of moss this weekend 🙌🎉 ..hahahaha thinking never again will i put myself through that again😅 water props are soooo much easier

[@BasiePlants]

I love to propagate in moss :D Water propagating is my least favorite, I always knock them over or they go dry on me :D

[@suvivirtanen8242]

Thank you for the video. Terrarium video sounds interesting.

[@BasiePlants]

Honestly, those plants have much better foliage than most hoyas. Ooops.

[@K.Mar.]

Druga sam.... Mir😍

[@Kimbermoi]

I didn't like this week either, and next week isn't looking any better. Long live upskill training...yeah, yay not yay. LOL Anyhoo, it's a long weekend here at least. I'm also enjoying my hoya Patricia telling the other 17 hoyas to hold her fertilizer while she gives a masterclass on how to grow. 4 new leaves and at least another 6 growth points. Oh, and I've had her just over a month! Happy Canada Day tomorrow. 🇨🇦 ❤

[@BasiePlants]

I am sorry your week hasn't been the best! I do hope the next one has some surprises - GOOD ONES! :D Oh, Patricia is such a good Hoya! I really miss mine (it has been DESTROYED by mites). I really should get a new one. Such an easy grower and a fantastic bloomer! Happy Canada day to you!

[@PetraEmmy]

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@lovesyorkies3395]

I lose tags all the time however I don’t remember which Hoya it was! 🥺 This week is in the history books…some of my coworkers have been kinda dramatic but I’m trying to ignore it. I was watering and wiping leaves checking for pests. I go in sections at my house, I have quite a bit of plants. Love your personality… you always make me laugh. I can relate…current me making plant problems for future me. Loving your Hoya Amrita!

[@BasiePlants]

Thankfully, magically, I somehow remember 😂

[@lovesyorkies3395]

@@BasiePlantsyou amaze me in how you remember! Lots of info not only names!

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

I’ve decided to not Pon my Hoyas but use Leca instead. Leca doesn’t hold moisture as well as Pon and Hoyas like to dry out a tad between waterings and this will be easier in LECA. I’m also going to keep one in soil to compare. Tfs

[@BasiePlants]

I hope it works out for you and your conditions :) Best way to learn is to do these experiments yourself and see what works there and what not :D

[@nicolemorreau9977]

How often do you recommend repotting your hoyas? I have some that I have had for a long time, in organic mix, that I have not repotted ... and I am starting to think I should probably do that lol.

[@ellennovak5214]

Im listening intently and have learned so much from you. When talking about your plants here, what determines for you which Hoyas go into self-watering pots and which go into an organic mix? How do you know which would work better for the specific Hoya?

[@BasiePlants]

I put most of my Hoyas in organic mix :) As for the self-watering - I would put thinner leaved species first into self-watering and then the rest. It will also depend on the size of SW pots awailable to me and the size of the plant/ cutting - for example, despite that one amrita being a thin leaved hoya, I simply don't have such small SW pots, so she will remain in the cup for some time :)

[@neda5979]

What’s the name of the tool you use to twist the trellis wire?

[@melanieg.9092]

I'm catching up on your videos so maybe you've already adressed this but do you struggle with your begonias in higher temperatures? This year I cant keep our flat under 28°C and my Begonias all limp 😢

[@cab8658]

I am new to Hoyas and would love to see you water your hoyas, and what gauge is that copper wire and could you leave a link for it? And what is that "little thingy" tube you put down in the pot? Us newbies would love to know all that!

[@BasiePlants]

The wire I got is a 3mm. :) I am not sure what that exactly is in inches :D (it is also copper, but aluminum made to look like copper as atual copper would be too pricey - I think this is called craft wire in the US) A watering video might be interesting! :) I haven't done it in a while... or ever :D (I mean the video, I actually DO water, despite what I say xD) The tube I used something that came with the self-watering pots - it is a water level indicator :)

[@cab8658]

@@BasiePlants Thank you! Yes any and all tips would be helpful. As in, how to water using the self-waterers, how much water to put in. Also, how and when you fertilize. Love your channel and I look every day for a new one!

[@darlenescott6218]

Hey, hey!😅

[@BasiePlants]

Hey! :D

[@PNWEmeraldQueen]

First comment and first like 🙌🏽

[@coen3466]

What is that copper wire you have for the trellises? What is the diameter?

[@BasiePlants]

I am not sure what it would be in inches, but it is a 3mm wire. :) It is not copper, it is aluminum wire that is colored so it looks like copper. Actual copper one would be too expensive :D I think they call this a craft wire in the US.

[@dawnirwin6328]

What gage copper wire do you use?
