HOYA CARE | Wax Plant Care Tips & Tricks

[@graceaxisa4213]

Sometimes, in the plant world, plants produce flowers when they are feeling stressed or at 'death's door'. I believe it's a way for them to set flower, produce seeds and attempt to, at least, ensure their survival via their 'off spring'. I believe some animals do this too. Great video, by the way! I learnt so much. I am saving this one for future reference.

I just potted up my Hoya cuttings and it took a little over 2 months to root this past spring.

[@sibelthecat5883]

I got a hoya carnosa on my birthday 9 moths ago and its in bloom 🥰💖 I'm so darn happy 😊 Thank you 4 the tips 🙏

[@GoodGrowing]

Ahh that's so exciting! I want mine to bloom so badly!

[@theholisticindigo]

I just got my first Hoya queen & this was super helpful thank you! 💗

[@therootofallthings]

Just had my Hoya Australis last week. It is my 2nd Hoya. The first was Cumingiana. And I struggled with it at first but yes to bottom watering!!! I couldn’t agree more!!! Thank you for the tips. Needed those reminders!!!

[@GoodGrowing]

Ooh super exciting :) glad I could help

[@gonefishing8586]

Great tip for signs of over or underwatering! I did not know that. So wrinkly leaves at the base could mean root rot? And wrinkly leaves on the edges could mean underwatering? Thanks so much! (pausing to go check on my hoyas...) 😉

[@jrosnov]

Hi Emma,I know this is an older video,but my Hoyas in the south facing windows bloom,but my others in the north facing windows don’t,all are the same age,so you are correct!Hi from Maine😊Oh mine are crimson princess 😊

[@nessar936]

Just ordered my Hoya princess and queen 👸

[@GoodGrowing]

Yesss!

[@annettamackey1538]

Thanks for sharing information.

[@jamiehewlett4130]

Went on a Hoya buying spree. Got 4 before finding out if I have the ability to care for them. My first one is doing well so I hoping w a lil help for my favorite youtube I'll be fine.😄😄

[@GoodGrowing]

Haha love that! They're pretty easy so I'm sure you'll get the hang of them!

[@najlajaber5643]

Hello I think I put too much water on my Joya. What should I do? I think the leaves look like down and thank you.

[@najlajaber5643]

Should I take it from the pot because I think I put too much water and that leaves down and it’s not fluffy it’s not shiny what should I do? Thank you.

[@EmsPlantPlaceEmmaLeeFreistadt]

None of my Hoyas have bloomed either but hopefully this year a few will!

[@GoodGrowing]

I've got my fingers crossed for the both of us! Maybe try the dry spell in spring to encourage the flowers ;)

[@carolynmorgan4581]

Damn about time some right information!! Thank you!!! Loving your videos!

[@GoodGrowing]

So glad I could help :) thank you so much for watching

[@darulanwar2916]

if you want a hoya plant I have some very beautiful hoya plants

[@RANJITHA.PAI.]

Is hoya bella a slow grower ? I bought a 2 leaf cutting from etsy , it rooted after 2 months in my propagation box 😐. Also with the hoya kerrii, does it grow from a leaf as they sell it in shops? BTW, I LOVED the video of hoya getting bottom watered!! Beautiful 😍

[@GoodGrowing]

I haven't got a bella so I'm not too sure about their growth, but 2 months sounds quite quick for hoyas. Unfortunately I've heard that single leaf kerrii won't ever grow more... And thanks

[@tipluxxxx5958]

Hoya Kerri does grow from a single leaf, if it has a node. I bought a single leaf pot ("valentine plant pot" from a flower shop) about 8 months ago (in December 2020), and I immediately repotted it in home (2-3cm bigger pot size now than that original), and started to fertilize it, and it started to grow a vine & new leafs 4 months ago (having 2 new 7-8cm long leafs now). (I didn't remove the old substrate, I just added some more around the old substrate, just so that it full filled that bigger pot.) Unfortunately You can't see if a single leaf "valentinepot has a node or not, when you buy it (possible node is of course below a leaf embedded in mold). And Hoya Bella is a fast growing plant, and it has plenty of tiny leafs (which are not so waxy than other Hoya's), so it needs more water than other hoyas, so do not let it completely dry ever. It is gorgeous, makes plenty of flowers! 😍 (Sorry for my poor description, english is not my mother language.)

[@jeannemuller7625]

Hi you said rooting under a bell jar. Could one live it’s life under a bell jar? I have a compacta. Thank you.

[@GoodGrowing]

Yeah I don't see why not. As long as it's getting enough light and not staying too wet. Keep an eye on the soil for a while at the beginning just in case!

[@tracyanne2617]

Very informative. I love all your videos. One of my fav KZbinrs. 😀🌿🌵

[@GoodGrowing]

Thanks! That's just made my day

[@handeulker2457]

That was amazing video as always. I would be very very happy if you could also make a video for Yucca. I have just need to cut off one of my Yuccas and there is left only one Yucca. I don’t wanna see its dead again :(((

[@GoodGrowing]

Aww thanks :) I haven't got a yucca but when I do I'll defo make a video on them! If you want individual help, feel free to DM me on Insta and I'll do my best to help

[@gvazquez4655]

Whats the name of that plant you have in the pot in shape of a head ? I have one that looks like it but I don’t know the name there is so many that look very similar and I am so confused🤔

[@GoodGrowing]

The head pot in the left of the video has a philodendron birkin. The head pot in the right of the video has a scindapsus pictus argyraeus (satin pothos)

[@cleanwater6278]

Hello i just watch your video on spider plant iam new home planter thank you

[@user-qk9er9yj5q]

Her: “they would love to be outside if you have hot summers” Me burning alive in the Texas heat: “No, I don’t think I will.”

[@valp785]

My Hoya is not growing and the stem near the soil look yellowish. Idk what happen to it, please help:)

[@valp785]

The soul right now is completely dry, should I cut the stems and propagate them?

[@valp785]

Soil*

[@GoodGrowing]

They grow soooooo slowly that I don't really notice growth until it's been a while. Yellowing leaves near the stem typically signify overwatering but you said the soil is dry so that's quite odd. You could propagate the stems or maybe repot it to check on the roots to see if there's any rot. If you want to DM me pics on Insta I may be able to better help :)

[@valp785]

@@GoodGrowing yeah thank youuu

[@JessyJBob]

I'm here to find out how to look after my Hoya Compacta 😁

[@tipluxxxx5958]

Just don't give it too much water. Let it dry completely before watering it. Take care of it like you take care of succulents (even it is not a succulent). You'll see when the top leafs become wrinkled a little bit, then it is time to watering it. If the Compacta don't get enough bright light it's leafs begin turn yellow, also if You overwatering it. It's a difficult plant to take care of, but beautiful! My first Compacta died, I overwatered it during the dark wintertime. Now I give much more light for my present Compacta (I keep it in hanging basket, front of my western window) and I treat it like a succulent/cactus. 😁

[@SavageHippie]

try rooting powder

[@GoodGrowing]

I've always thought about trying rooting powder but never done it. Maybe I'll get some next time I'm at the plant shop :)
