HI HELLO!

[@janequeenii2493]

Luv ur channel Fern💚👻

[@bonnieboardman438]

I have a question for you! What do you do to care for an air plant?

[@orchidsbythelake]

Well done and spot on care guide! 👍👍

[@wildfern]

@@orchidsbythelake thanks so much!

“I’ve never had mealy bugs, I hope I don’t ever have to deal with mealy bugs.” I busted up laughing and said “girl it’s coming for you. It’s coming for you.”😂 I am loving watching all your old videos. This is fantastic fun❤

[@Ali-enAdventures]

Thanks for showing the sun damage! I have this on some of my queen. I thought I was having some sort of fungal issue but this makes sense now since it does get some direct sun

[@wildfern]

Glad I could help :)

[@queenv3]

Fern this is perfect timing, I'm getting my first hoya today! I was researching propagating with superthrive and this popped up, I would have watched it today anyway, I just got here sooner. I have 3 govee and I love them, so I won't be entering giveaway. Thank you for all the great info. Enjoy your week!

[@wildfern]

Ahh that’s perfect timing!! Glad you’re loving your govee too, they are so awesome :)

[@phf3238]

Thank you for the Govee. I now have two. One for the greenhouse and the other monitors the house because I rent it out in the summer and some people abuse the air conditioning. ❤

[@majordelilah]

I'm not a person who loves one certain genus.... BUT HOYA THO👀

[@wildfern]

RIGHT

[@MeasuredProductivity]

I started fertilizing my hoyas with orchid fertilizer after you suggested it in a video and it has worked so well! My hoyas are thriving 😊

[@Ch33Ch22]

Same here...this was definitely a great tip...here's hoping we get peduncles 🤞

[@wildfern]

Ahh I'm so glad

[@AlaunaRoby]

This video came out at the perfect time, I just ordered my first hoya last week hehehe MUCH EXCITE

[@wildfern]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@daniellabirch2600]

Thank you so much for this video. I am being known as a plant lady and I was just gifted a hoya. They have always intrigued me but I am a bit scared because I have heard that they are difficult to care for. Your video has included a lot of really practical tips for me to monitor this new plant and keep it thriving in my home! Also, I might go out and buy a couple of those Govee hygrometers, they're not only great for plant people but also for our other hobbies like cheese making!

[@genisisvillarreal34]

I just started building my hoya collection and this video was very helpful! I'd love to see a care guide video for ficus elastica tineke and variegated string of hearts

[@Anna-qy7qo]

I was just wondering how I should propagate my hoya plants, thank you!

You're so welcome!

I’m revisiting this video because I just got my first Hoya!! I know I shouldn’t be buying plant in the winter but it was a sale and I couldn’t resist. I just got my first cutting of a Hoya Kerrii and I’m excited!!!

[@wildfern]

Ohh that’s so exciting!

[@tarrenkittie1532]

You and Harli G peeked my curiosity of hoya and I had to get one. Went with the hoya carnosa crimson queen, I broke off 2 of the new leaves when I got it. It is getting in two new ones that are so gorgeous 😍

[@wildfern]

The Krimson queen is one of my absolute favourites! Good choice 😄

[@MountainsnVallies]

[@carmenwhitehead]

Love this video Fern! I have a small collection of Hoyas and most of them are small cuttings. I need to get that Orchid fertilizer, I have heard other plant tubers talk about it. Thanks so much for sharing! 🌱💚

[@em-mq3dz]

I have 3 hoyas, working on getting possibly one more before it gets too cold! My favorite out of my 3 is the obovata. I just love him so much and the circle leaves are just the cutest. I am gonna try that orchid miracle grow stuff! Thanks for the vid :)

[@wildfern]

Oh that's awesome - I can't wait for my Obovata to grow, they are so. beautiful!

Thanks! It’s probably one of my easiest ones. I can ignore it for sooo long. It doesn’t need water often, the leaves stay firm for weeks.

Yes very true haha. Good luck with her!

[@caitlinschembri8343]

How often do you spray them with the orchid mist?? And do you continue throughout the winter?? So much love from Ontario you quickly became my favourite plant-tuber

[@wildfern]

Thank you sooo much! I spray them every 1-2 weeks. I spray them all year long, yes. But probably less frequently in the winter... maybe every few weeks.

[@orange9418]

[@lindalu8565]

Great video! Thank you! I recently propagated a hoya by placing thr end of a leaf into water for an experiment. It rooted. Question. Will that leaf grow into a plant or will it stay a leaf with roots? Thanks.

[@wildfern]

Without any stem it's not super likely that it will grow into a full plant, but it CAN happen, so it's worth a shot!

[@diannacheesepoofs2445]

Love this! Can you make a video for begonia care?

[@Chronically.sarahdayton]

Just a quick question on fertilization-have you tried using general hydroponics (that you use on your plants in leca) with your plants in soil? I just found out that you can do that and I’ve heard great things about it. I would love to see you do an update on using general hydroponics in your plants in leca like your Thai constellation. I know you touched on it in your leca update, but i would love to know your thoughts on GH. 🌱💕

[@wildfern]

I have never used it in soil, I didn't know if you could lol. And okay I will make an update, thanks!

[@Chronically.sarahdayton]

@@wildfern I just purchased it the other day and read the back; then I went on the website and found out you could use it with soil too. My mind was blown a little bit lol. Thank you!! 🌱💕

Hoya Polyneura, Krimson Queen, & Linearis

@@wildfern ooooo thanks! I think i want to get a polyneura next🧜🏼‍♀️👀

[@knitwit2871]

I love hoya but sadly I'm only into the more expensive ones because the non plain jane ones are pricer 😂😂 I feel like next spring is when I'll be getting into my hoya buying. Right now I only have pub. , Crimson princess, crimson queen, hindu, burtonia & my favorite polynerra. ( I know I spelled all that wrong) it just sucks how expensive they are for how tiny the cuttings can be 😂 this year all my money went to airoids. Next year, Hoyaaaaa

[@kk7rae]

I’m on my second Hoya Australis and can’t seem to keep it alive :( I repotted to terra cotta with a well draining mix and have given it a pole to climb. It’s in a bright window and the bottoms leave get yellow and fall off 😩 any idea what I could be doing wrong?

[@CP-ew8uu]

My Australis is thirstier than my carnosas/pubicalyx etc. The leaves are thinner and less succulent, so holds less water in the leaves. I also find it does not respond well to drying out as much, ie for the Australis I don't wait until the mature leaves feel soft as that takes it too far into dry and it takes a long time to recover from that, I check the new-ish leaves instead. Mine is in terracotta too, but I'm going to repot it into a nursery+cover pot as I think that will help a little too.

[@kk7rae]

@@CP-ew8uu thanks so much! I’ve been having a hard time finding info on Australis and watering. Much appreciated ♥️

I took a Hoya cutting 4 yrs ago and it still hasn't developed buds that I can see. Is there something special that I need to do?

[@ashakabeta]

I see mealy bug occasionally on my hoyas. It's normally just one, and I take it off right away. I have never had any infestation so far. Knocking on wood. It seems like mealies absolutely love Hoya nectar! I wonder where they come from?

Can I put my hoyas in my south facing bedroom window? It doesn't get direct light all day. But i was thinking of putting white paper on the window so that it has some type of filter. Good idea??

Hello Fern, I've been using the orchid food on my 2 hoya and they are under grow lights. My Hoya Pubicalyx splash I have had about 10 yrs i guess and it has never bloomed yet. I don't know if my Hindu Rope will bloom. Btw what do we think about those fertilizer sticks?

I've never used the fertilizer sticks. Only liquid.

How do you tell if your linearis needs water? Its leaves feel so delicate and I am afraid of breaking it 😅

[@wildfern]

I know some people bend the leaves and if it's soft they water. I honestly just water mine right when it dries out. I try not to leave it too long dry.
