My Hoya's are over 100 years old. They were my grandmother then my mother's and now mine. They have beautiful pink flowers all the time. I love them

[@marcelagarnica7076]

I mean this could not have come at a better time. Watching this as I open my delivery of 6 new Hoyas😅😊

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Six?!? Omg congrats on your new Hoyas 👏😊🌿

[@Luvsophiegurl]

Just getting into hoya. I'm really appreciating their slow growth and the fact that I can buy a small starter plant and not need to up pot it for a couple years. I've got a ton of pothos and philodendrons, which need to be repotted every year.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

That’s definitely a benefit! Bigger isn’t always better 🫣😂🌿

[@bethreifsneider4327]

I agree I Love Hoyas as well. Mine all bloom once they reach about a year and a half to two years . I never fertilize them but I do give them some fresh soil in early spring🌸

[@BotanicalBrunette]

They’re the best! 👏 Aw I love that yours are blooming for you!

[@turogers13]

I feel the same but, I need to know more before I kill mine. Right now 2 of my Hoyas have mealy bugs. I used cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol and a ready-made pest spray.

[@Lorenmcdee]

I water mine about twice a week. Mine are in south facing windows in terracotta. They can dry out within a day depending on the size. Mine grow startlingly fast seasonally, and then are completely doormat after their growing season.

[@almakehlerbrown3935]

Thanks for these great tips! I needed this info 😊

[@andreacoysh1008]

Thanks for the Hoya info. I inherited one, broad green leaves, and it needs repotting so I found you for info. Thank you

[@colognialbritain1462]

Really enjoyed your video, thank you 😊

just came from your scindapsus exotica video and loved it so much im back for more! subbing as well :)

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Aw happy to have you! 😊🌿🫶

[@tiffanylewis1595]

Your positivity will make me a Hoya person! I've had one since lock down in 2020 and it's just not doing great so I decided to do some research and your video is awesome! Thank you!

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Aw you’re so welcome! Glad you’re loving you Hoyas! They really are great and easier plants to care for 😊🌿

[@carolstuff]

Lovely Hoyas. Thanks for sharing!

[@BotanicalBrunette]

No problem 😊🌿👏

[@cherylsignor9646]

Love your linearis and obavata! My favorite in my collection is my Mathilde.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

So pretty! 😊👏🌿

[@lisaanglim9588]

This was absolutely on spot. I loved it. My favorite Hoya is the Bella. It got a bloom last fall that disappeared when I replanted it. I had to repot cause it was tipping over every time it got the slightest dry. The soil had become hydrophobic. So it blasted. Now I have mealies on it. I haven’t seen them on others but I’ve got others to add systemic granules into the closest plants.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

The Bella is such a pretty Hoya. Hope the systemic helps with the mealies 🫣

[@lisaanglim9588]

@@BotanicalBrunette me too!! I’m spraying with rubbing alcohol too. I’ll repeat it weekly for a total of four weeks.

[@alboberry3097]

Personal experience, Hoyas are propagated extremely well in Perlite. I have tried obovata, pubycalyx, krohniana, krimson queen, fishtail, Australis Lisa, and latifolia albo. All worked fantastically!

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Ooo I actually haven’t tried perlite with Hoyas. Thanks for that 👏😊🌿

[@mollygarland1635]

I am going to receive my first cutting so I would love it if you could explain the perlite propagation. Please and thank you

[@finnster6582]

I love the tendrils!

[@BotanicalBrunette]

They’re pretty interesting 😊🌿

[@savedbygrace3686]

Great information as always. I have the most luck with propagating when I use soil. I don’t even put them in a prop box. Just plant the cuttings in small, clear plastic punch cups that I burn holes into. They are small enough to propagate in but large enough to let the plant grow for a while in them. I love watching the roots grow. They fit perfectly in some coffee mugs I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby 😀

[@savedbygrace3686]

My favorite Hoya right now is my Sunrise. It’s got a couple of Peduncles on it. I just ordered Hoya Krohniana Super Silver. Can’t wait to receive some plant mail.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

@@savedbygrace3686 such pretty choices 👏👏

[@BotanicalBrunette]

I always forget about the power of soil propagation. I need to play wit it some more.

[@savedbygrace3686]

@@BotanicalBrunette I have a pretty full 3” pot of Curtisii that I started as soon as I got my big plant. That thing rooted up super fast.

[@gloriacuartas-leo6873]

Love Hoyas too

[@BotanicalBrunette]

The best! 👏🌿😊

[@lisaanglim9588]

I think I have 15 Hoyas but five are unrooted or rooted cuttings. I really love Hoyas. What I did was got an “easy” Hoya cutting box. It was a mystery cuttings.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Oh wow that’s so fun! 👏😊

[@lisaanglim9588]

@@BotanicalBrunette it was. Out of the 7 labeled cuttings five were new to me. That’s the chance you take for duplication when it’s a mystery box.

[@user-bp9bq6vo8n]

I'm just getting into hoya,s I have the krimson princess and waiting for a tri wayetti those are the 2 that have grabbed me so far;)

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Oooo those are great ones to start with! 👏🌿

[@haryaalionline208]

Like 13......a very good and informative video👍

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 😊🌿

[@pastelsandpatina]

I just got my first Hoya today and I already love it! It’s got these pretty variegated leaves in pink, green and white, and supposedly it will flower someday. I can hardly wait! You have one just like mine and I’m wondering if you know what it’s called?

[@FaithRickett]

I think I’ve ever only seen the Wayetii in variegated form and never really been attracted to it - I LOVE the all green version though! I don’t own any Hoya yet, but I have several on my wishlist 🥰

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Right?! I don’t really love the variegated one either.

[@NewUkeNewYork]

I got a big, thick all-green one from a neighbor who was moving. It flowers frequently. Love it!

[@sarahwaimea]

Hi ya!! What boys is that on minute 6 please? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Lorenmcdee]

I spray my Hoya with orchid spray. It does make them bloom. My linearis is crazy when it blooms

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Ok. I need some now!! 👏👏

[@Lorenmcdee]

@@BotanicalBrunette totally! I got the advice to do it from like some plant KZbinr (idk who) and my Hoya obavata gave me the prettiest little spray of flowers a few weeks back. Heard they're hard to bloom. My chroniana super silver is putting out buds, too!

[@debbielummus4637]

❤

[@Pretty.Foliage]

Such a hard question 😅but the Hoya Carnosa Freckles is probably one of my favorite one. I currently added Hoya Joy and Chinhungensis (spelling?) to my wish list

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Oooo I love those too! Good picks!

[@The_Black_Truth]

H💚YAS!!!

[@tattedkc16]

First timer here, love your content! Which Hoya is in the salsa container? I don't think I've seen that type before and liked it🤔 I have a Wayettei, pubicaylix and 3 others...I never really liked them now I'm totally into them🤣💚

[@debvisser5970]

What if some yellow leaves?

[@youcancallmefly]

Hoya Carnosa for me. Their scent fills my bedroom. Especially if the window is open.
