Hoya Care Tips from a Collector - Vlog 009

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

She made a good point about water roots. If you only let them get an inch or so long before planting in a substrate, they adapt to the change in media quicker than if the water roots have been allowed to grow long.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Perfect way to put a period on the end of her thoughts! Thanks Love of Plants!

[@LoisyAbigail]

I was experimenting on this very thing because I had better experiences back in my beginner (impatient af) days rooting plants. It seems to work a lot better.

[@JK-fo5cv]

Fluval is the best way

I fell in love with Hoyas after finding a 'Hindu Rope Plant' a.k.a. Hoya carnosa compacta, in a Home Depot over a decade ago. I was fairly new to house plants and mostly had a brown thumb. This plant far exceeded my budget for house plants, I had to have it! I lived in the Mid Atlantic region at the time and being a house plant, she never bloomed. However, I still adored her for the sheer beauty of her form and had to have more varieties! Fast forward and I'm now living in southwest FL. I still have my Hindu rope, only she now happily lives outside and flowers profusely most of the year (right now she's almost covered in lovely, sweet smelling pink clusters!). During the last hurricane, one of my variegated carnosas' that resided on a cement pedestal outside our front door was so large, I couldn't bring her in without destroying most of her as she had climbed up the brick facade of our house and had also rooted long tendrils all along the ground, not to mention she had to weight close to 50lbs! Long story short, she made it through, mostly unscathed except for the loss of a few tendrils. On a whim, I decided to place one of the tendrils (about a foot long) in the crotch of one of our live oak trees. My husband affixed a piece of plastic to hold roots in place and I stuffed it with orchid bark and sphagnum moss. Boy did that do the trick, her little lost 'arm' (I call her 'Amy') has gone crazy! She's climbing so fast I swear she gets longer every day! It's @ 18 months later and 'Amy' has been rewarding me with loads of flowers hanging from the huge tree limb she's chosen to clamber up. I'm so proud of her! Just goes to show, given the epiphytic environment some varieties so crave, they will reward you graciously!

Jeannie McCap Could you show us the pictures, please!

[@qwerty70100]

I’ve been looking for Hoya Hindu rope but have not been able to find one. After reading your post I want it even more badly.i really want to see your Hoyas.

[@lauraloy1657]

I live in northern fl. My hoya loves the heat and the humidity now but I'm imagining I would have to bring her in the Winter.

[@maxtonfletcher8436]

Sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

@Maxton Fletcher Instablaster ;)

[@42apprentice]

I love her, so generous with her knowledge

[@patwaldrip3774]

Thank You, for the information. I met my 94 year old aunt, my father’s sister on March 17, 2020 for the first time. Discovered through AncestryDNA that I had four sisters and two brothers, only three are still alive and I am the oldest. I had gotten cuttings from her Hoya. She suffered a stroke on March 18, and passed April 1, 2020. So I am determined to keep it alive.

[@mimiejasni1641]

Aww, would love to follow your instagram to get updates on the hoya

[@johnniefletcher8006]

May I inquire about your Hoya? I am sorry about the sudden loss of family that you had just found. I hope you are doing well and healing 🥰

[@patwaldrip3774]

One cutting died and the other one has survived. How long should I wait to take a cutting for my daughter’s Hoya that didn’t survive?

[@462-x5n]

So glad to see more footage of her and her home tour. She is a wealth of knowledge and has a delightful personality... she is also me in 40 years!!! It was also nice to see your "New Yorker" interview on Millennials and their house jungles. Thanks again for all the time, work, and effort you put into posting all these videos. I'm a huge fan. Please keep them coming!

[@summerrayneoakes]

I think we can see all of ourselves in her spirit.

[@Pathrissia]

My grandmother had hoya carnosa for as long as I can remember. After she passed away, me and mom split the hoya and this is what I remember my grandmother by. :) Really thankful for these hoya videos! 🙏 Now I just have to work on making my hoya bloom again! It's been a while since I last saw it with flowers

[@omadwitheasterngirl]

I wish I could hug the hoya lady!

[@lydiaguzik5086]

She seems like such a lovely woman, thank you for bringing her knowledge to us!

[@roserouthier4814]

She reminds me of my polish grandmother who also loved hoya’s 💜

[@Debbie_AG]

I really enjoy these video tours of peoples' homes. I found it really interesting that Torrill's home was so minimalistic (apart from her hoyas of course!).

[@joanl5600]

Thank you. That was very interesting as I’m collecting hoyas. I certainly don’t want to have a houseful, but they are my favorite because there are so many different species that are absolutely fantastic plants.

[@hpeteacher9445]

Thank you so much Summer! Your videos with Torill were both educational and enjoyable. I am a Hoya lover too. I do not see many around by me. I do have 5 and hoping to get more. I did propagate my Hoya Tricolor Carnosa Krimson Queen. It did take a long time to root. I put it in a wine glass full of fish tank water. I changed it twice a week. I just potted them up. Happy Easter! Gerry 😊

[@summerrayneoakes]

Happy Easter to you too!

[@hpeteacher9445]

😎

[@granthawkins9142]

Actually I was wondering about the haircut too thanks!

[@jeanneeguizabal471]

Thank you so much for the video Summer! These tips are beyond helpful and I will defintely be using them whenever I can! Torill's collection is beyond breathtaking and a big thank you to her as well for sharing her knowledge of hoyas with us💚

[@petercardona1559]

She's like a tiny hoya Library of Alexandria! Just treasure trove of hoya information 🌱

[@alex0589]

**opens history book, looks up** hopefully not, i mean..

[@petercardona1559]

@@alex0589 learn from the library and copy the knowledge! Now, I'm not sure what's more tragic. What happened to the library or that you had to look it up? I guess Classical Education really is dead these days😆

[@dinganddoo2]

Peter Cardona - Sad to say, classical education is dead. As is correct punctuation, sentence structure and spelling.

[@petercardona1559]

@@dinganddoo2 it is with a heavy heart that I say I am in agreement. My suspicion that the classics are dead first came when I was reading a volume of the poetry of Ovid and Terence in Union Square Park. I began chatting with a Creative Writing major who said she had never even heard of them. 😥

[@dinganddoo2]

Peter Cardona - I couldn't have picked two different poets if I tried! While maybe not hearing of the ancient poetry of Ovid, you would think a millennial would have at least heard of the multiple award winning poertry of Terrance Hayes (if this is the Terrance you are referring to). I'm also quite sure only a handful have ever ever heard of the Dewey Decimal System. While I'm a 'few' years beyond the Millennium stage, their writing and speaking skills are so poor it makes my teeth itch. It's all very sad indeed... Imo, this is indicative of a world full of classical literature and language being flushed down the toilet, so to speak.

[@tracyloeffler7616]

Love Terrible and, you.... as usual are fantastic. Thank you for all you do for us and our plant babies! 💜

[@thestaircasegarden1355]

Great video! Really enjoyed joining you on your visit to Torill and her plants! Thank you

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed that video with Torill, she is just amazing and such a wealth of information. I too was wondering about those long tendrils and if I should cut them off or just leave them, I did know about not cutting where there is a peduncle, I get so excited when I see my hoya's getting them. Once again a great video I super enjoyed watching it, hope you are having a good Easter weekend, thank you.

[@margiemcpeak9304]

ANOTHER great hoya VLOG! Thank you so, very much, Summer for devoting so much time to the topic of hoyas! I've watched your home plant yours and know that you love hoyas very much. ANYONE can be goofy & silly or just plain stupid (whether an act or not!). I REALLY appreciate the seriousness with which you handle the many topics of your videos, etc.! For some reason, your attitude is one that doesn't seem to be shared by MANY other KZbinrs. I find it much easier to learn the important info that you present in YOUR no nonsense manner than I can from the "antics" or whatever of some others. Thank you for sharing this follow-up to that wonderful hoya home tour in Stockholm! Take care!🌾💜

[@kathygilbreath6073]

Great tips and enjoyed listening to her about growing 400 different kinds of Hoyas. That’s fantastic!!

[@karengorkowski627]

Could you do a video covering care and propagation of wyettii please? Im have a die back and can’t figure it out; and seem unable to propagate it. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge-your channel is very helpful!!

[@lysduchamp]

Oh I love her!

[@sandyg8794]

Love the hairstyle, Summer! ❤ Love from the Philippines.

[@temojo7279]

Hi, please could you give me some help as I have received a Hoya Decipulae from Indonesia after 11 days in transit to UK. The leaves look very dehydrated and look very sad but still green. Any tips on acclimatising this would be very grateful. Thank you x

Great information. Do Hoyas prefer to climb or are they alright hanging? Thank you

[@anandrsg]

Good tips

[@tamaravidal8514]

They Are Beautiful🌷 I,Love Hoya's They Are HardTo Find!

I didn't know that those little bumps are ariel roots and my Purple Passion plant has these hard nubs so I can try to grow some more plants. Thanks for highlighting that with this video.

[@summerrayneoakes]

My pleasure Barbara.

[@RaseckoII]

Perfect timing. Thanks. 😉😜

[@shiningstar1869]

Thank you. Very informative.

[@ProximaCentauri88]

Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@jospie28]

These were great tips! Thanks! I have a question- If I took a cutting with an existing peduncle/ spur would it flower again? Or would it die off? I have a huge hoya sunrise that is getting out of hand in my tiny apartment and want to trim back, but each trailing stem has peduncles on them and they flower SO prolifically. Thanks again :)

[@kmmmmmma]

i know you probably won't see this, but i was wondering- so i got a hoya carnosa (krimson queen) about a month ago. earlier today, i was looking at it and it had super quickly put out two tiny black and red leaves. the red was where the white usually is and the black was where the green usually is. i freaked out and i can't find the answer of why it's doing that anywhere

[@friday3592]

if it's in good lighting, the new leaves are often black/red. they'll turn green/white eventually

[@kmmmmmma]

@@friday3592 yeah thank you! i researched a bit more and figured that out, rn they're pink and green and it's gorgeous!

[@mahendran412]

You look so good today .

[@mommymarz]

these are awesome tips. thank you for sharing!💚

[@charlottehammac1123]

? Why does my hoya have really soft leave on some stems what is it please

[@shameamakhtar9002]

My hoya carnosa is not flowering and its 4yrs old any tips? Thanks

[@friday3592]

stress it a bit (give it more light and let it dry out a little more than normally for a while). could also help to take some cuttings from it. when it blooms it's a lot more thirsty so you'll need to give it more water than normal then

[@nono-oh5in]

What type of light she is using ?

[@joannacummins2153]

Hello. Love your vids. Could you describe the difference between cultivar and species? (Beginner!).

[@Raregardenblooms]

Love this video❤

[@Rose-gn1nl]

Fantastic!

[@donnadixon8030]

Where do you buy your tea tins?

[@Ewa1hi1]

I'm just starting with hoya kerri and another more common one, and they are amazing. I have unrelated question tho. Are there any plants that thrive in very bright, direct sunlight that aren't cacti? I have all my windows facing south on the forth floor, with no trees or anything and although I like having lots of light in all my rooms, so that I can have lots of plants even in far corners, I still would like to have something on my windowsill and everything dies there! Even my succulents (jade plant, rhypsalis and sanseveria cylindrica) are fine but get ugly discoloured. Any tips? I say no to cacti because I don't like their needles (childhood trauma 😅). Maybe I could like some soft needle types or something similar, but I generally prefer leafy plants. Love your channel, any suggestion would be appreciated. 😁

[@KaylaBowen]

Ewa Fandrejewska you can put up a sheet curtain and it will act as a filter and help filter out the harsh sun.

[@gknewlin]

Thank you for this! I'm looking for help with a concern. I bought my first Hoya a week or so ago and within a few days I noticed light brown spots, indented, on one of the leaves. It fell off as I was examining it. Yesterday I found another and I'm not finding good information about what to do. Hope someone can help!

[@jamiladamnit988]

I found you from your Epic Gardening interview. You have a plant in your Bio Box with an amazing pattern. I *think* it's an orchid. Padilla? Padula? Something of that nature. Can you please spell it? I am dying to learn more about it. 😍🌿💚
