Can You Grow A HOYA on A Moss Pole?

[@MarisaAndChew]

Even though I'm Canadian I speak mostly in inches and feet, so when you misspoke and said a 900cm metal rod I was like "wait how high are her ceilings?" Then, I did the conversion and it's roughly 30ft. So, I've decided you either misspoke or this hoya will have some serious height in the garden! I've now got Jack and the beanstalk vibes and I'm here for it! 🤪 I really want to switch to leca but I'm worried that come winter it will get far too cold for the plants. My floor is a cement pad and stays cool enough in winter to keep a beverage cool. I'm thinking I should invest in plant stands that work in my space so I can keep them up off the floor a few inches and have that air flow under to prevent cold roots and then slowly start to move to leca.

[@TheLecaQueen]

Hey Marisa! Jack and the Beanstalk vibes here for sure!!!! That Hoya has a long way to climb!!! Using plant stands is certainly a way to go, and if it is as cold as you say, getting heat mats is probably a good idea.

[@annettew2334]

I use Leca and live in Alberta where we get a balmy -50C some days I do not use a heat mat and the one making the video sure does not know what 900CM is into inches Hers is more 900mm which would be 2.9feet which she is showing us She is making this in the kitchen The kitchen would be 30' in length or width which it isn't because of the size she is showing us Buy some pvc pipe, jute from Dollarstore, and glue gun from dollartree and voila put it around the pipe and glue it on She has the pole in hand so she has a 30 foot height in kitchen? I do love her video but correct the errors

Looking forward to seeing how the Hoya does on the moss pole. She's a beauty.

[@TheLecaQueen]

MsTheUndone Thank you! I will def keep you updated. I am curious as well.

[@natalieshigrov8550]

Can’t wait to see how it grows up! Beautiful plant!

[@TheLecaQueen]

Me too! Thank you.

[@greenlessthumb]

I love seeing new experiments! So excited! Keep us updated please!

[@TheLecaQueen]

Greenless Thumb Thank you! You will certainly be hearing about her.

[@debs_boho_jungle]

I've never considered this. What a fun project! Excited to watch the progress!

[@TheLecaQueen]

Thanks Deborah! It was pretty fun and I hope she looks amazing in a few months.

[@ScienceisRadAF]

Oh I love this! Can’t wait for it to be update time so we can see how they’re doing

[@TheLecaQueen]

I was looking at it this morning and thinking the newer leaves look bigger. I don't know, I hope so!

[@deeb2000]

Hi👋 Funny I was thinking if I should put my leggy Hoya kerri on a moss pole. Can't wait to see the progress of your crimson queen! Dee, NY, USA

Just found you on KZbin and already live your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience… I look forward to seeing more of your videos . Will you be doing an update video of your Hoya princess on the moss pole ? I would love to see how she’s doing. I want to try this for mine. 💚

[@stephen-truthseeker]

Great Video Thanks.

[@cindyowens1940]

Thank you for your very detailed info on this. Just subscribed and look forward to seeing more.

Welcome aboard!

[@mlentirlentir6498]

May I please ask where you get your deep plant 🪴 pots.

[@SuperUsername147]

Oh I have a rooted khroniana super silver cutting I’d like to try this with!

[@TheLecaQueen]

You should!

[@RubyJeanGem]

Nora, I love all your videos! I learn a lot from you about plants in Leca! Can't wait for more videos! I do have a question if i may ask: Do all plants that are in leca have to have bright light can they survive in low/medium light? 💚

[@TheLecaQueen]

It's RJ Thank you! Thanks for the support. Not all plants in leca need to have bright light. It just depends on what the plant needs.

[@yattydiaz3414]

Looks fabulous 😍

[@TheLecaQueen]

Thanks Yatty!

[@tyrenasmith80]

You make it look so easy

[@TheLecaQueen]

Hahaha! You need to watch my blooper reels! Editing makes it looks so easy! However I have done this so many times, I could doit in my sleep!

[@pauls9159]

We need an update! I was just thinking about doing the same with my Krimson Princess and was so excited to find your video. How is it doing?!

[@TheLecaQueen]

It is going ok, climbing up slowly 🐌. I will do update soon.

[@lelew2308]

I love this! I’ve always been told or heard that Hoyas grow counter clockwise. When I’ve tried to wrap clockwise they start to die on me. I’m anxiously waiting for the results

[@TheLecaQueen]

Thank you. I never heard that before, that is interesting. I will certainly keep you posted.

[@amandaihfe3791]

I'm curious about an update. Thanks!

Wondering how yoy hoya on the moss pole is doing one year later. (I couldn't find an update) I have been thinking about doing this. Any tips or updates would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

[@pgr8dnlvr]

Hey it’s been 8 months!! Any update?!?

[@TheLecaQueen]

Oh my gosh it has been so slow!! I am finding it very annoying! I will do a short about it soon.

[@valeriemalliris4918]

Love your informative videos. Question about the pots. Your link is to Amazon,which I have for many plants, but wondered where you find the pots without holes that you then make them. Thank you.

[@TheLecaQueen]

Valerie Malliris Thank you! The pots with no holes I get from a local store in Australia, Bunnings. I can not find some that look like that in the US. Sorry!

[@ashleyguillen4594]

With the ones that are just wire and moss can I just zip tie a plastic backing over the wire on the back?

[@TheLecaQueen]

yes you can

[@MasonMathews]

Looks great! I'm so curious to see how much areal roots this moss pole will encourage it to grow. Or if having it climb will make for larger foliage. Great video as usual!

[@TheLecaQueen]

You and me both! I will certainly keep you posted.

[@katrinav.8503]

Very interesting! I was wandering, why nobody is putting hoyas on actually moss poles- many of them have plenty if arerial roots! I will try it with my burtonia as soon as it will be ready to go to!

[@Firefenex1996]

Any update on this pole? I cant seem to find anything.

[@TheLecaQueen]

Coming soon

Update? Trying to figure out what I want to put my Hoya on and have been wondering how this worked out

How did this work out for you? I really want to do this!

It is going ok, still early days so I do not have an opinion yet.
