This was a great video, you talk slowly and clearly. Great tips too. Today am I watching with a terrible cold, so you saved my day. Evertything plant is so expensive in Sweden, I maintain my plants on a budget of basically O dollars, so I tend to take what I have, and work with that. Anyways, I am thinking about a cone shape net trellis with smaller holes. Project to the Spring. Will work out the size and so on. Well, have a lovely day Dave, keep safe❤

I just found your channel, and was shocked (and happily surprised) when you said you were in Iowa City!!!!! Native Iowan here, now living in Kansas. I worked at the U for quite a few years, and lived in Cedar, Muscatine, and Lynn counties. I lived there for 58 years until eight years ago and I moved to Kansas! And I definitely subscribed! You have Hoyas I have never heard of. My mom was a plant guru back in the 70’s when the house plant craze got started, and through the 80’s and I used to grow African Violets, until I moved here.

I enjoyed your video and the hacks. I am fairly new at growing Hoyas but have 7 varieties, 6 from last summer and a crimson queen that I have had for at least 30 years (or maybe more. She is trellised and blooms frequently. I don't have any trellises for the others yet and they are vining all over and trying to climb up my curtains and windows. I am learning more about them all the time and really enjoy my small collection. I am thinking I would like one with large leaves and wonder if you have a suggestion for one that would be easy to start with. Thanks again for the helpful video!

Thank you! This summer I was telling my friend Kim and fantastic Hoya grower (Crazy Plant Gal) that whenever someone says "I have a decades old Hoya but I don't know what it is"--it's a carnosa. *Every single time* 😆 As far as large leaves, easy, grow fast, and don't cost a fortune: can't beat that latifolia (Sarawak). For not quite that large, the merrillii is one of the most underrated plants around. Grows fast, sun stresses, and has beautifully glossy leaves. Cheers from Iowa City 😁

Thanks for this video! I keep having the problem of what to do when a vine reaches the top of the arch trellis. It seems like when I wrap the vine down, it doesn't push out leaves or even dies off. Is there any solution to this? And is it only certain types of hoya that do this? I saw that your solution is to use a cylinder type set-up like your wire mesh trellis, which is something I might start doing!
@soberplantguy
@soberplantguy 3 күн бұрын
That is a good question 😆 On all trellises, I trie to let the vine go as long as is reasonable before I turn it downward--with plenty of room for the vine to point back up. Some do okay this way, other, not a chance. I think it's why you'll see a lot of mature plants with wrapped, bare vines. The new growth on my australis, for instance, tends to hide a lot of that.

Dave, I turn my head when I see monkeys doing that. Anyway...I tried H. matilde on a round trellis. Nope. When I was ready to take cuttings, I took it off the trellis. It looked funky for a while with some peduncles sticking out like morning-hair. She's happy now. I have been using U-shaped bamboo and DIY wire hoops. The wire can be too skinny and bamboo can rot off eventually. There is no holy grail when it comes to trellises. One of my favorite styles though, is fan-shaped bamboo. (Like a backyard trellis, skinny at the bottom and wide at the top.) I have a H. macrophylla on a three foot fan and it's filling in nicely. It kinda does what your string trick does. We'll see how long it lasts. My biggest fear when trellising is kinking or snapping a stem, especially a green stem like H. globulosa. I'm learning to be patient and not clip too tight.

This globulosa are THICK. I never see those fan shape trellises for sale, though I have a small one. And yes, given that monkey his privacy 🤭

I now see twine being sold on Amazon by the spools. Just kidding! Very interesting hack, I’ve done the double hoop trellis with my Hoya Sunrise but that looked like the monkey you spoke of..😂 so I chopped it, propped it and I’ll be giving my daughter a very nice full plant on a horseshoe trellis since I chopped it back in April I believe. I have my Hoya Royal Hawaiian Pubicalyx on a hoop and it looks pretty but she sits alone on a plant stand so space isn’t a problem. I save the pieces I cut off my bamboo trellis for those cuttings starting to grow out. I can’t believe your score at Goodwill! I NEVER find plant stuff at Goodwill. 😒 I try to go to garage sales and estate sales whenever possible. I can find some cool vintage wrought iron shelves for plants. I buy plexiglass sheets from Amazon so the drip tray and the plant won’t tip over between the rack. I don’t know if you’ve seen UPT videos but April is a wealth of knowledge. She suggests not to let a vine point downward when trellising because it will dry up and it’ll start another growth point somewhere higher on the vine so it’ll go up. Well I’ll be a monkeys uncle and sure enough that’s what I was doing wrong. I also watch Miro and he’s a hoot and very informative at the same time, I love him. Thanks for the hack! I might try it and I’ll let you know how it goes!

Those are two good resource, for sure. I heard April talking about how a storm destroyed her green houses. What a nightmare. On the thrifting front--why can't I find a cool iron *anything* to use for plants? 🤣 (Although the Hoosier cabinet you see behind me was a thrift find, so there's that.) The nice thing about Hoya, if you point that vine down, and mess with the growth tip and kill ... it's going to take care of itself and push out new growth. What great plants.

2:32 I would call that elephant tongue, because those older leaves are giving me tongue vibes. 13:51 Do you isolate new plants and let them acclimate before repotting new plants? I ordered 5 new Hoya, they arrived (by mail) from Florida, Wisconsin, and Missouri to Arizona. After that journey, by mail, to a totally different climate it seemed cruel to immediately re-pot. They are acclimating, in a week, I’ll re-pot. I know you get most plants from a local friend, maybe it’s not an issue for you.

First, thank you, I'll never see my 'Elephant' the same again 🤣 And, no. I don't wait wait to repot Hoya when I get them by mail. None of the really experienced growers I know do, either. I have never lost a plant from doing that, but I've lost plenty while the roots rotted away without me knowing it. And then, of course, the one time I made the exception--root mealies. Fortunately that was well-contained, but I eventually lost quite a few valuable, young plants.

@ Good point. The sturdier hoyas (crassipetiolata, hainanensis, and dasyantha) probably could have been repotted without issues. The smaller leafed hoyas (thompsonii and lyi) looked so fragile when they arrived. I thought the thompsonii had kicked it during the journey, but it has bounced back. The lyi is just two tiny delicate cuttings right now.
