I wish i would flower when im stressed lol. all i do is break down haha

[@herrenfam]

If you wait to water until a Hoya has flimsy or pruny leaves, eventually the chronic underwatering will cause the leaves will not recover as well. The leaves will slowly get thinner and thinner until they reach the point that a “normal” underwater time period will cause leaves to brown, yellow, and fall off. Plant Hoyas in a very barky substrate mix and water when the mixture is almost dry right up next to the roots. I plant my Hoyas in leca or pon, which compacta love! Hope that helps everyone!

[@coagulatedsalts4711]

all my hoyas are either in sohagnum, hydroponics, or semi hydroponics!

[@magalieg273]

Agreed. I don't let any of my hoyas prune before watering... Just the leaves getting softer is enough. I can't imagine letting them dehydrate like that all the time!

[@ekamarie6632]

Thank you!! I had 3 Hoya compacta variegata that have died. 2 were small cuttings and 1 was a very established plant I found during travels. I listened to multiple plant KZbinrs saying wait until they leaf is flexible or even wait until it starts resembling a raisin and then water. And every freaking time they’d die within 6 months!! So I just got my forth plant and I’m like fuck that, I’m watering it more often I’m at 5 months and so far so good. Thanks. Also that explains why my cuttings of my Kringle 8 won’t freaking drink! They’re all bendy and it’s like no matter how much water I give em they will not plump up! The plant I took the cuttings from are fine but they’ve not gone through the same drought like conditions the cuttings have. (They were in a prop box and every time I checked on em for the 1st month or 2 the moisture was still high. And I stopped checking on them as often until I’d accidentally forget about em for long periods of time) But seriously I’ve been struggling w this and no plant KZbinrs would mention what you said and I thought I was the only one that was happening to.

[@brooklin_bernek]

Yikes that’s terrible advice - please DO NOT WAIT TO YOUR ENTIRE COMPACTA OR ANY HOYA IS COMPLETELY PRUNED, that will cause MAJOR DAMAGE! Damage that IS NOT REVIEWED ERSIBLE. My Hoyas flower when I give them “longer” light times - not “more intense strong light” I have over 100 species of hoya, and this is not good advice . I had to speak up or I would be so upset with myself

[@Bookhardtsbooks]

Yeah I killed my krimson queen that way.

[@Lorenmcdee]

Girl you're WORKING recently and I'm loving the content. I'm pregnant and miserable. Having something to watch is just really nice.

[@nicc23]

Thank you for your videos. Life’s been extremely rough recently and this channel has felt like such a safe and healthy distraction for me. ❤️🌱

[@jamluxx]

Every Hoya compacta I’ve bought came with mealybugs so new buyers just watch out for that 😅

[@asp921]

Lovely content Ashley! I really like the videos you are posting lately, informative, entertaining and well curated!

[@mirandarojas9204]

Hoya carnosa compacta in general are so cool, thanks for the tips!!, still don't have one but I'm in love with just seeing them on youtube, such cool plants!

[@KelliesHoya]

Hoya compactas are amazing!! I can't wait to find the variegated compactas near me!! I have 3 large jade ones and I absolutely love them!!!

[@lillianfulgham7698]

This is so helpful! I know you said you’d like to become more knowledgeable about some plant species before making more care-focused vids, but I’d personally loooove to see more like this one :) Thanks for all you do!

[@marymiller5824]

Your right…..I had a two leaf cutting of Chelsea and a two leaf of sunrise for at least a year that just wasn’t doing anything, I put them in leca very reluctantly and sure enough they both have 5 leaves and it’s been about 3 months! I love it!

[@artybea9316]

My regular green compacta rooted in water in like 3 weeks. I just potted them up today, water is my favorite prop method, I like watching the roots develop 🤗

[@makiaaikens2338]

I literally just got one today because yours is so cute! And you put out the care video today!

[@PlantingAshley]

Glad to help :)

[@paytonmarrison1295]

this video came in perfect time, i'm going to buy my first one tomorrow!

[@brandispotsandplants]

I’ve been looking for one of these near me! It’s my birthday wish! I did find a pubicalyx today though which was super exciting!

[@Ma66s]

Thanks Ashley! Great tips dear and I like the roommate analogy 😀 🤣 I love you! 😘💚

[@Qotus]

No offence but thinking that keeping a H. carnosa alive for two years is a long time made me chuckle. 😄 I have a cutting of my great grandad's carnosa that is at least from 1940 (photo proof of that), that sucker has survived wartime, being in dark unlit corners of the house and being forgotten in a black plastic bag for months after a move. When at my parents house it grew in a dark corner, climbed up the wall and along the ceiling (around 6 meters) to get to the lamp above the dining room table, where it happily bloomed.

[@PlantingAshley]

Ive only been into plants for 2 years so for me its a long time c:

[@lalasgarden23]

Wish list plant for sure! I’m obsessed. I will have one in my collection SOON

[@PlantingAshley]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@idakindlund979]

Gave mine serious root rot because I didn't realize the separate plants had had their roots wrapped in mesh fabric before they were planted in the pot. As the roots grew they wrapped around the inside of the mesh which retained water more than the soil did and kept them wet. I'm currently trying to reroot it so wish me luck!

[@crunchyflakepusssuk]

yep. They do that w orchids too! I call those mesh things death traps.

[@antonietarueda2423]

My hoya carnosa compacta variegata is happy and growing - but all of it's now leaves are variegated/light pink. Any tips on getting more green leaves? They are watered well, in an airy soil w lots of bark and they get 12 hours of grow light per day.

[@TheBrianna1431]

Great video!

[@aliciagaz1597]

Amazing!!!🎉

[@annehenderson2991]

It's funny how different Hoyas are; my Australis will hate me if I wait to water it till it's wrinkly all over, but it roots within a week if you put it in a box with soil

[@Lainez3078]

Hi, I have a question: do you have problems with gnats? I have a problem with every soil that I'm using.

[@Paul-zw7or]

this was so helpful, just got a cutting! :)

[@PlantingAshley]

oh im so glad to hear that!

[@lisacain9519]

Still hunting for one!! I'm hoping one will show up in one of my local small business plant stores.

[@shannoncarr7338]

i dont wait till they get wrinkly to water, i go by dry soul and softer to touch

[@Lea31706]

Thank you x

[@allydavaris8492]

What did the largest one cost? I found a couple green ones that length at a bodaga in NYC for 30 each but they were in really bad shape and had been left out in the rain in November.

[@myconfusedmerriment]

I just got my 2nd one of these…I slowly killed my 1st, so I’m hoping it goes better this time around. I was really trying not to overwater, but I think it got to the point where I was underwatering…poor thing was just constantly pruny. ☹️

[@chelseashepard_]

Do you use your liquidirt even in the winter???

[@o0Shawna0o]

I love the roommate plant vs child plant! I need a list of roommate plants. Pothos probably and snake plants are roommate plants for me. Please tell me more!

[@kendravoracek3636]

💚🌿

[@nuclearporcelain]

Wait, wait, wait. You are saying all this time I could have charged my hoyas rent?

[@yebincho373]

I just found one this Spring and it is getting yellow leaves now😢. HELP

[@PlantingAshley]

How often are u watering?

[@yebincho373]

I don’t really have a schedule, just when it seems dry. I recently refreshed the soil and discovered that it’s roots are really shallow, no breakage. Looks like they were just cutting potted up. The pot it was in was too big for it’s root system. I repotted it with new soil and watered it but these weird mushrooms in it also. I finally took the cuttings out, split them up and have one in Pon and the others are in water until I can figure out how to properly pot them up.

[@sylviabol640]

💚🍀

[@shannoncarr7338]

oh ya, mine sits riiight under grow lights

[@paintingsbypellie]

I just got one and a leaf fell off and I almost cried 🤣

Hoyas hate me so much

[@cangel201]

You still advertise BLM and ask to donate to them!?!? Yikes! Please educate yourself and watch Candace Owens documentary about it.
