Hoya Collection 2022 | rare + common (29 species!)

[@dco589]

I just wanted to say I've noticed how many videos you've been uploading and I AM HERE FOR IT! Thank you for your hard work and giving us new plant content!

[@wildfern]

💚💚💚

[@rebeccaulmer9167]

My Hoya obovata was always blasting leaves and was the slowest of all my growers, when I stopped letting it get bone dry between waterings and started watering it a little more frequently, the growth has picked up. Maybe try that with your variegated compactas! Just water them a day or two before you would regularly water them and see if they start picking up for you. OH! This happened with my regular Carnosa and my Krimson Queen too… more regular watering with less bone dry time did wonders for their growth. Hoyas definitely don’t like to be overwatered but I don’t think all of them need to be as “bone dry” as ppl make us think.

[@iamjaviervillegas]

I sadly got some yellow mushy leaves on my Carnosa Krimson Queen. I didn’t think I was overwatering it either so it was really perplexing. I changed the substrate and repotted so I really hope it bounces back!!

[@littlelisaftw]

My caudata sumatra bloomed for me for the first time and I almost cried, I showed anyone who would look pictures of the blooms. I was honestly the proudest Hoya mom.

[@tamarad4146]

Any tips? I really want mine to grow, but it's just struggling so much. I think it's easily one of the most beautiful plants there is.

[@hypatiakumbera789]

You're so funny, Fern! Whenever you talk about Hoya, your face lights up! I thought you knew how much you love them 🤣🤣🤣 Your Hoya collection video last year is the reason I got into Hoya! My sunrise is my all time favorite plant 😍 I need to chop mine soon too fill up her pot!

[@wildfern]

Haha it's true - I guess I love them 😂 and that's amazing!! obsessed w sunrise right now

[@fraysfoliage]

Your Hoya collection is so nice!! I’m currently on the hunt for a Hoya sunrise and personally am loving my obovata ❤️

[@KittenCece]

I’ve been trying to decide what kind of Hoya to try first! And been watching tons of Hoya collection videos over the last few days. You must have read my mind, thanks a million fern 💕

[@crochetqueen6440]

Hoya Australis Lisa ;) but I'm biased as it's my fave

[@MykieJean]

I very recently got into Hoya and I only have three in my collection: Hoya black margin, Hoya obovata, and Hoya macrophylla! All very different from each other which I like and recommend so you can figure out which you like best! Good luck!

[@cherieizm]

Darlin, first, great work 😊 one thing I've noticed is that if you repot a Hoya, or if it's pot is too large, it will take longer to flower. They mostly like to be settled in a pot for about a year as a general rule... ❤️ Also Hoyas mostly LOVE water! There are certain ones that don't so much, but as a general rule, hoyas love being watered. Hope this is helpful... 😊❤️

[@monicajimenez4797]

I heard that hoyas will reach to grab onto something before they put out a leave. If you tie the tendril/vine on a trellis it should begin to give you leaves. I did that with my Kerii and Ovabata and immediately began to give leaves. Steak all your vining hoyas early. I even use chop stick just to train then early. Then do an update. 😊

[@christenejay8570]

Omg!! I literally searched up your older Hoya video earlier today haha love your content :D

[@wildfern]

hahah that's awesome! thanks so much for watching 💚

[@ariellalester]

I’m so loving this regular uploads! If you’d like a cool Hoya to add to wishlist/trade list, Hoya Clemensiorum is so cool. Literal dinosaur looking plant. But it’s so funny to hear you talk about spring - here in FL our “winter” is end of Dec-February, so we’re just now reaching our cold snaps!

[@crochetqueen6440]

Oh my! That Hoya! I looked it up and the sunstressed purple/red version is soooo gorgeous. Wishlist plant for sure

[@natashaoreilly3546]

I remember when you potted up your mathilde and put it on that trellis! Wow does it ever grow fast 😹👍💚

[@wildfern]

yes hahah so crazy!!

[@sandylockhart3172]

Fern you got me into hoyas. There are so many I want like matilde, Chelsea. Got a sunrise today from marketplace. I really love your Hoya crimson queen. Olive is so sweet!

[@crochetqueen6440]

Hoya polyneura won my heart over onto the Hoya train! I genuinely thought I didn't like them but I appreciated the pretty mermaid tail look of the polyneura and so I got one... Those new leaves! So tiny and they get so large and then darken and harden off.. So pretty. And one vine turned into 3 growth points, and I was sold. My favourite Hoya I have now is my brand new Hoya Australis Lisa. I love that thing so much! It's just a tiny two leaf cutting but I'm in love.

[@claire.o1145]

Just saw the title and my insides screamed 😍 living for this content 💚

[@lila4609]

I've found that growing variegated hoya shows much more advantageous growth when grown in semi hydro. I have a variegated hoya wayetii that's done nothing in soil and I put part of the plant in Leca as an experiment and i swear I get a new leaf every week while the mother plant does nothing

[@wildfern]

Ah that's awesome!

[@tinabratland4027]

Your Hoya collection is lovely. I have a sunrise that wrapped itself around a fan cord in my grow tent, it has been blooming nonstop now. I am having a heck of a time with the Villosa, grows a new leaf and dies off, such a drama queen.

[@debrawarrick2911]

That Chelsea is so wild! Very interesting how the leaf shape and color evolved over time. And that Queen! She's insane. So beautiful 😍

[@laurenfailing9949]

Olive is such a queen! So excited for this video! You got me into hoyas ✨🍃

[@abitaunton303]

I got so excited when I saw this video come out 😅 and I absolutely adore your Hoya Compacta! I’m so excited to grow mine out like yours 😊

[@karengomez6023]

I just bought my first Hoya and I am very excited for my Hoya journey lol

[@wildfern]

Ahhh that is so exciting!!

[@shonniemurphy6512]

Love your excitement when you notice new leaves 🥰

[@faeriegardener84]

Loving your hoya collection! Sigilatis is totally on my wishlist now

[@cmimitran]

I had the same problem with my Hoya finlaysonii chicken farm. It grew a long vine with no leaves. The same week that I trellised the vine, it gave me THREE new leaves. They’re currently all hardening right now at the same time. I have it in 80% humidity and directly under the grow light. The baby leaf that is right under the light is growing the fastest! Hope this helps

[@moiraslater8526]

Hoyas will grow leaves if they feel supported but not otherwise.

[@Jillz81]

ahhhhh I just ordered a Hoya caudata - cannot WAIT to get it. What a cool ass plant. I love Hoyas!

[@schuylerbogue7226]

Wonderful collection, and that Crimson Princess is stunning!!! 💗💗

[@skilltes037]

I didn't think I really cared about Hoyas and you make me like them bc you get so excited about them

[@nailbeauty.byjess]

Oh my gosh I love your Hoya collection! I’ve been on a hunt for the lineras for awhile now, still seems to be hard to find on the mainland :(. But my sunrise is growing so many new leaves right now as well!! I’m so excited. 💕

[@jennapelletier7484]

If you want that beautiful queen to bloom (and all hoyas I suppose) fertilize more often! I use schultz orchid fertilizer every third watering or so in the winter and every watering in the spring/summer and she blooms like mad! When I first got her she was in a 6 inch hanging pot with no peduncles and she didn't do much even in high light but once I started fertilizing more often the peduncles kept coming! Also I'm in the okanagan and an absolute hoya-head and would love to get into trading more if you ever want to trade! Your video inspired me to count and I have 33 of them (which also surprised me lol). I'll be in the victoria area in march or I'm happy to ship some cuttings to ya

[@wildfern]

Oh awesome!! I have the orchid fertilizer, I just never use it, so now I am making an effort to spray em down! And I'm def interested in hoya trades in the spring 😃 thanks for watching x

[@hollyrobinson4850]

Hey Fern. I have heard that if you point those tendrils up, they will do amazing things. Like trellis or pole them.

[@XxPRLoverxX]

The Hoya bella names are actually ‘Lida Buis’ (inner variegated) and ‘Anneke Buis’ (outer variegated) ✨ They’re so cute!!

[@ira7630]

Is that Dutch?

[@XxPRLoverxX]

@@ira7630 Yes, correct!

[@vlong7112]

Saw the notification and got SO excited for this vid! 🤩🤩🤩 So bummed about the thrips claiming the fishtail 🥺 And OMG, your KQ and Mathilde are so beautiful it hurts!!

[@vlong7112]

ALSO, I think putting the Serpens on the snake trellis would be adorable! And retrellis the Mathilde on a cone-like trellis so it's a tornado of cuteness 😍

[@OfTheDarkIDare]

my favorite moment "bad news bears" hahaha!

[@jdhernandez802]

Weird video request! Just wanted to ask if you can make a video about cleaning up after plant chores, specially indoors with some tips and tricks to minimize indoor clean up after plant chores… like soil in the bathtub, clogging the sink from watering / washing plants! 😂😅 it will greatly help! 🤷🏻‍♀️🙏🏻🤞 thanks!

[@nattyvog]

Put your variegated compactas in the bathroom - mine perked right up once it got some gentle light/humidity!

[@kidzamb]

I only have 9 types of Hoya but my favs are all of them, lol. Particularly my Publicalyx for its ease and fast growth. Loving my newly acquired Mathilde and Kentiana, as well! Great video! Hope Olive is doing well!

[@TheUmeboy]

My gradmother just passed last night and this video really helped distract me for some time. Thank you for your wonderfully distracting post.

[@hollypuckett3931]

Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending love to you and yours ❤️

[@taylorvinzant7905]

I highly recommend propagating Hoya in moss! I’ve had nearly 100% success so far!

[@charleyblum1930]

Regarding your Krimson queen blooming, I'd recommend watering more often than every 6 weeks. Hoya need more water than most people think for optimum thriving.

[@charleyblum1930]

I recommend listening to the owner of Vermont hoya for tips on watering and humidity.

[@claireselby960]

The variegated compacta seem to be much happier in ceramic pots. That is the only thing that has helped mine!

[@jmeelizabethh]

💗💗💗hi Fern!!!💗💗💗i won a small variegated H Compacta in a giveaway (😍) and was actively killing it for probably 4-5months before I took action to save it from my torture!!! i (inspired by you) transitioned it into perlite and put it in a ziploc bag and it is THRIVING!!!!!! i have like 5 new leaves coming in!!! wish i could send you pictures!!! yours probably getting high humidity in the cabinet but maybe She wants her own private sauna room?! i am also a perpetual underwaterer sooo the struggle was real with this plant for me until the bag life!!!

[@jamface11]

I've made up pots of hoya serpens with butterfly cuttings which fill out so nicely, or you could try to wrap the vines in the pot and it will shoot off new vines like crazy

[@roxanedawn3752]

I love wayettii! Yours looks super healthy! Sometimes leaving it alone is best. My wayettii is variegated with a little sunstress. One of my favorites!

[@wildfern]

Ohh I love the variegated ones - gorgeous! And so true, mine seems to do well with very minimal care :)

[@EverythingPlants]

Holy crap your krimson queen is massive and so healthy looking!!!

[@Carey.S75]

What a lovely collection of Hoya. I have the Bella 'Luis Bois' and have found it only grows under my grow light and the pink stressing is just coming through which is gorgeous. After 3 months under the growlight it has given me 9 new leaves in that time. The Hoya I am struggling with is my Heuschkelliana Variegata which just looks like it wants to give up and this has only happened since getting a humidifier so would like to know if that is the problem if anyone knows. I have had to place it under a cloche so time will tell. I love the Obavata varieties too but will only get them if the right plant at the right price comes along. I think it's great that more people are getting into this fantastic genus. Good luck with all your Hoyas, Fern.

[@wandashaw3551]

Hi Fern, loving your Beautiful Hoya collection!! I have 8 right now and4 on order to ship in April. My slowest grower is my Kerri Varigata, not one bit of growth since I brought her in March of last year. At least she's still alive! 😁

[@iamjaviervillegas]

I have one w/ 4 “hearts” on it and didn’t show any signs of growth until this spring. I think it happened because I tied it to a bamboo stick which I think they like. Give it a go and see what happens..

[@myconfusedmerriment]

Dang, I need more hoyas, they’re all so cute!! 🥰 I’m glad I’m not the only one struggling with my variegated compacta, lol. I’ve tried everything: more light, less light, more water, less water…bb, what do you want?! At this point it’s looking really sad and I’m thinking about just pulling it out and putting it in water for a few weeks to kind of start over…I’ve managed to save a few other plants that way. 😅

[@cannuck3577]

My krimson Queen is a bit bigger then yours and was also around $70. Originally she came from Vandermeers greenhouse in Toronto but I bought her off someone more local to me. After waiting over a year for her to bloom I moved her right up next to my west facing window and within just a couple of months there she's bloomed once. I looked at her just the other day and she now had two penduncles. So my advice would be to move her closer to your window or bring a grow light closer to your bed frame to get her to bloom.

[@wildfern]

oh that's amazing 💚 yes I definitely suspect more light would make her bloom! nowhere to put her near a window or light though :( hopefully one day!

[@mariadanielabolano3661]

A Friday upload from Fern regarding Hoyas!!!!! Fave day so far💞💞💞💞💞💞💜✨✨ was waiting for this video as soon as the Monstera collection came out hehe - my linearis was also growing funky with some bare stems on the mix and after I chopped and propped, it looks freaking amazing. It roots sooo easily so I say go for it !✨

[@ninabeena83]

Oh please leave the Matilde on the 🐍 trellis! Maybe cut the long vines to prop so you can fill the pot and/or make a small hanging 🪴 as well? And I sure do hope you’re able to regrow your polyneura, yours was soooo exquisite 🥺 next top model plant lol, and why that Hoya is on my own wishlist

[@lilymeowington9395]

Honestly if I could just have one type of plant, I would just keep my Hoyas. They are so easy to care for bcuz they really speak to you. I appreciate not having to worry about my Hoya unlike a lot of my other plants. Loved your Hoya Serpens and you krimson queen. My krimson Queen is my only trouble some Hoya, it has only grown a little bit and died back on one section. I brought it home with me from Florida a year ago. I probably should repot it and see if anything is going on (it came from a good nursery so, I didn’t repot it.)

[@eileendewit]

You have a beautiful hoya collection! The favorite hoya that I own are probably my hoya obovata and hoya chelsea. I also think the hoya mathilde is really pretty but mine has been dormant since I got it, which is a year ago :(. I love all your videos and am also patiently waiting for spring to arrive 🌷

[@moonj0ck]

I really like your sweater! And beautiful plants as always! 😊

[@JustHarperGray]

My raven zz it growing incredibly fast! I heard they are slow but for some reason they love me. Have you tried putting the variegated Hoya rope in a plastic container? Sounds like it might be drying out too fast.

[@karenmyers9146]

You might want to try your variegated plants in pon. They are more thirsty plants

[@juliebellia531]

Absolutely love the Krimson Princess, the variegation and color is so consistently beautiful 💕 Also please tell us what lipstick you’re wearing, the color is so pretty!

[@wildfern]

thank you!! I was wearing the colour pop lip liner in "curvii"

[@happyhearts9463]

Sooo happy you made an updated Hoya collection video!!!

[@brandonwiley9336]

I’ve heard it was just Compacta too. No Carnosa in the title. Love your Hoya 😍

[@emmasplantz]

Oh nooo I'm so sad for your polyneura :( hopefully it bounces back real quick. Your hoya collection is amazing ! The krimson queen gives me life.

[@ritalewis5231]

Grin I realize this vid. Is a yr. Old, never the less, I was told to put my undulata in a sunny window, low and behold she’s starting to bring me growth points. Try it ver’s, the tent, if no window use high grow light. 💕

[@heatherkrueger5550]

I’ve converted all but one of my Hoya to pon-I did this specifically for ease of care I’ve found they like to have the humidity for the roots

[@rayyananwar3202]

Literally I got home from my local nursery with my first Hoya and I saw this

[@Laundrification]

Majority of the Hoya that were struggling were in terracotta. Terracotta isn't a bad thing, but to me it looked like you either need to keep them in the same mix and switch to plastic/glazed, or give them a finer, more water retentive media.

[@sheillaa.6964]

I loved this video. I am starting to think that I am also in love with hoyas. I counted the ones I have in my Ikea cabinet and the total is 13! I did not think I had that many! This video was perfect.

[@amyelizabethweafer]

Just the video I needed today 🤗 I really hope your variegated Compactas take off I have a tiny one too, she's slow but steady, one of my favourites ☺️I love your Krimson Queen she's so glorious! 👑

[@passionateplantperson]

Amazing Hoyas!!! What potting mix do you use for your Hoyas? For the one in PON did you water prop first and do you keep water in the cache pot or let it stay dry for a while?

[@kayla9165]

My favorite is my crimson princess I have it in hanging basket a lot like your crimson queen and it is so white and beautiful and I have it under a grow light and it is getting some pink sun stressing I love it!

[@Jiv509]

It maybe that those hoyas that are struggling have flat mites. There are different treatments you can try and see if the growth improves.

[@Sophie-gv8pj]

Your Hoyas are all so beautiful omg!! Do you have any tips on how to grow a fuller plant? I feel like the tops of my plants get kinda sparse looking, and when I try to chop and prop the cuttings don’t root very well and just whither away

[@irrationallyhappy]

I got my Hoya Mathilda shortly after seeing yours 😍definitely one of my favorite plants in my collection!

[@mianewman]

So sad to hear about your polyneura ☹️ but she’ll come back and be as strong as ever! And that krimson queen is 😍🤯😮. She’s so big!

[@wildfern]

Yes she will 👏 thank you!!

[@lizj6314]

This video came at such a great time! I just went and adopted my first Hoya today, it’s a krimson queen, I’m exited hopefully it goes well and it blooms for me eventually, one day lol. Maybe I will have a lovely collection like yours soon 🪴😌

[@wildfern]

oh how exciting 🥰

[@jackiem888]

Can you do a Hoya care video? Your krimson queen looks amazing. I always thought they want to completely dry out between waterings, but the leaves look so thin and papery compared to yours... Would love to know how to better care for her!

[@nicolerogers5940]

Fern! what lipstick are you wearing? so pretty! id love to see your typical makeup on an upcoming blog. I started using some of the ordinary skincare per your recommendation and I love it!

[@tamarad4146]

My krimson princess is easily one of my favourite plants. I bought it by accident thinking it was the queen. I have both now and the princess is something else...

[@rhondafisher72]

Nice collection you have. I would like the Princess and a Matilde so pretty. I hear ya wanting Spring, we got dumped on with 19" of snow a week ago. It will be here till April at least. yuck

[@terrigreene7481]

Wow, your Hoya Compacta's are fantastic. Mine was attacked by Thrips. She is well into recovery now. I love Hoya's.

[@deborahmazza8123]

Your Hoya Mathilde looks delicately striking climbing up the snake. Awesome! I believe my next acquisition will have to be my first ever Hoya....

[@Anna-qy7qo]

Love these hoyas! I swear I'm not a hoya person but I know if I got all of mine in one place and looked at how many are on my wishlist, I would know that I am lying 😂

[@frozen-yogurt-yes4662]

I love the way Hoya looks in small planters. Actually, I just prefer small planters and plants! But I can’t deny how gorgeous big bushy Hoyas are too like your krimson queen and Hindu rope!!

[@mirkagronroos71]

Your collection is beautiful! About the pests: Have you checked the roots for root mealy bugs? I had similar issues with hoya growth and only few weeks ago realised those poor plants had root mealys.

[@lilymeowington9395]

🤯😱😲🙀 off to check one of my Hoya.

[@marigene8265]

You have an awesome variety of Hoyas. I only have a few hoyas, pubicalyx splash, krimson princess, and a curisii, that just doesn't seem to grow at all. I am looking forward to adding a few more to my collection.

[@nanabethscreations725]

As a True Hoya head this video made me so happy!!! I have 53 species of Hoya at the moment. I have been told that compacta need more water that other Hoya and Am wondering if that is why your variegated ones are giving you trouble. I killed 3 before a seller in Florida told me to give them more water. I have a small one now and she gets water weekly and is happy. I have a full basket on the way from her and am so excited. Love your collection. Do you not like Pubicalyx varieties? I could send you one to try! Pm me your address if you want one. I made a ton of cuttings and now they are everywhere. I have pink silver splash and red buttons.

[@lannie9387]

Oh I love, love, love your Shepherdii! Been trying to get my hands on one for a hot minute, they are just nowhere to be found :( My Mathilde has been doing nothing for months now, and before that she just shot out tons of vines with leaves that never develop. Maybe I will take your advice on cutting Hoyas and just cut the vines, propagate them and see if that will get it to grow now that the growing season is just around the corner.

[@lleo9703]

Loved your Hoya video Fern! Funny, I have 29 Hoya also, but a different combination. Maybe you or someone can give me suggestions on propagating my David Cummingii. It propagates fine in perlite but when I put it in soil, the cuttings rot. Argghh! I usually have good luck with prop and chop hoyas, but this one is testing my patience. The mother plant is doing fine in my care. I like to prop “insurance” plants. My Hoya Krimson Queen (Carnosa tricolor) was just up-potted to a 14” pot! The thing is the fastest growing plant I own! Suggest it for a beginner, also the Australis or Publicalyx.

[@sabrinaguerrero3211]

Fern every time you rejoice about the sun being out, it reminds me of a Bad Bunny song “antes que se acabe” (before it’s over) where he says “pero hoy salio el sol y me siento mejor” and it means “but today the sun came out and I feel better” 🌞🖤🌞

[@wildfern]

Love all your Hoyas, love this video! I appreciate how you share your growing experiences and what you’ve learned from those experiences.

It’s good to have something to look forward to! 😊👌🥰🪴

[@4everdreamer569]

Your Hoya collection is stunningly beautiful!! I am falling in love with Hoyas more and more as well. Your Hoya compacta-non variegated is absolutely stunning and I want to ask if you have it in a nursery pot inside of the terracotta pot? I'm beyond afraid to repot mine as she is about as large as yours but 💚💚💚 the look of it in terracotta! Also, your queen is freakin amazing👑

[@wildfern]

ahh thank you! nope, it's just potted right into the terracotta 😃

[@vernanowosad6515]

About the outer variegated compacta, I find that there is a very fine line between over watering and under watering. Too much water and the lower leaves fall off. Too little water and the roots dry out and it dies... I've been struggling with my two for about seven months now.

[@ameewilliams2208]

your compacta is stunning. omg its so dark! ahh. yeah, its not carnosa compacta anymore. just compacta!
