Do get better wire cutters than me. 😂

[@bonnieharris8855]

Two words: bolt cutters. My hands could never do that. Maybe with bolt cutters. Or, macrame.

[@AroidDistrict]

That "shut up" towards the Leca was hilarious. Cool video as always.

[@maureenlehman139]

I like the hangers. Love how the Hoyas can trellis up.

[@BasiePlants]

Yes! You should see Camilla’s hoyas. They look fantastic like that ;)

[@dejanaaranicki3601]

Your friend has such good taste ... Love the blue border!

[@BasiePlants]

Best taste ever! :D

[@ameewilliams2208]

i just about croaked when you told the leca "shut up!" HAHAHA!!

[@rodrigomartino6798]

Always a fan! I would looooove to find a video about young hoya leaves yellowing! All of my hoyas start developing leaves but they all turn yellow! It happens in my Bella, Lanceolata, Kerrii, calistophylla, finlaysonii serpens, Mathilde! Can you give me some advice? or make a video about it maybe? I think it's a very usual problem but there's no much videos talking about it. Always great to see u! 💚

[@alerc20]

Miro thank you for keeping me company 💚

[@evlynealeshire5850]

Miro, your hangers are brilliant with the cover pot! I am going to make some. Let me tell you, though, you had me in stitches when you were demonstrating the building and assembly of the hangers. I just love you, dear friend. You are truly honest, endearing and humorous. I always look forward to your videos. 🪴

[@anastasiamata9269]

Loving the hanging plant vibes. I can only imagine the lovely plant canopy you will have someday! Thank you for making such entertaining videos 👍

[@BasiePlants]

I hope they become fuller soon :)

[@KathyGallagher01]

Ingenious idea with the hangers thank you 😊🪴💚

[@pc3235]

[@amandamack9258]

I literally laughed out loud when you told the lecca to shut up

[@stephanievaillancourt6608]

I love your videos so much! I find you very funny and charming. You are so knowledgeable and down to earth and normal at the same Time. Sending you good vibes from Québec, Canada.

Super interesting hoya medium! 📝📝📝

[@anamariafurnea7730]

Super ideea ta de carlige, o sa încerc si eu, mi se pare usor de făcut. Iar plantele arata foarte bine🤗

[@TheQueensWish]

Thank you for sharing this tutorial with us. It can’t be so easy taping this with all the moving parts and tools but it came out great.

[@xgreenus]

My Hoya Aus Lisa did this random yellowing-just not happy, so I had to do the same thing! Reassuring it was the right choice to cut up and restart. ✨💗

[@Weirder_the_better]

I love your diy hanger system - so creative and it looks great. I finally got around to making a large trellis, using your PVC-coated wire fencing method, and I am so thrilled. I combined four of my pubicalyx splashes into one large pot and gave it a large trellis. Can't wait to watch it fill the trellis. It managed to vine its way through the top of my Vittsjo shelf in three spots, so I knew it needed a better solution, haha. Thank you for the constant planty inspiration! Oh, and I used a pair of 8-inch Bolt Cutters (they're the size of a pair of pliers) and they cut through the fencing so easily!

[@susanjohnson5824]

Love the way the hanging plants look in your house. Thank you for showing us the diy on the plant hangers they look great I'm going to give them a try. The S hook idea is very smart for when you repot or would need to remove the plant from the pot.

[@deborahmcsweeney3349]

This was really a great video! Learned so much thank you!!

[@ivyplantjourney20]

Oh my gosh Miro ❣️❣️ I really love your setting, so beautiful and organized 😊 I hope I can do mine like yours. Hahah me hot mess 🙈😂

Hi Miro! This was very interesting, and fun! I love the look of all of your hanging plants and am looking forward to a tour of all that you've been doing. I like how you made your hangers, and appreciate the DYI on them. You did a great job! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@AGoddessRising777]

I love that you share your DIYs.. thank you. I love doing diy plant stuff! I really also love those solid plastic ribbed pots you use for the hangers. What brand are they .or where can I get some please?? Ty! You have taught me a lot. I'm the proud new owner of Basie Plants trellises all over the place and I tell anyone who will listen lol 😂

[@nuthanuelsfavs4305]

The hangers are a fabulous idea! I am loving your videos.❤️

[@scargo6954]

Excellent tutorial on the hangers. I had to get creative for me smaller plants so I can hang them. I use plain wire coat hangers for 2" and 4" pots by cutting the hanger and straightening it out, then I mold a hoop that is slightly smaller than the pot close to the hanger hook and then with the excess I make another on below the first hoop so I can hang smaller plants together. All you have to do is bend the hoops to desired angle. Its really cute. You can also divide the hoops and make a small hook at the top to hang on a decorative board or on a wall. Wire is your best friend when it comes to usefulness with plants.

[@BasiePlants]

I also made some hangers for small pots or more like a hop that holds the pot. They are cute :) Maybe I can use more of those in my grow tent.

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

They are all so beautiful!! I do love the hangers very much. Thank you for showing how you do this.

[@marsf4883]

Nice hangers! They look great. Can’t wait to see a tour of the hanging space.

[@brankarm9040]

Great job !!

[@megsmith4370]

I love the way you set this up with the Milsbo and plants in the background! It makes the background really interesting and pretty. Great video, I might need to try making some hanging planters!

[@dramaticleafing9103]

Your hoyas are divine!how are you even possible?😃 anyway i always enjoy your videos and your hoyas are goals

[@juanitagordon5064]

Wow! Loved everything you did.😊👍🏽

[@williammalone8097]

Your plants are amazing! I can't begin to imagine what your watering schedule looks like! Best of luck in a you do, and thank you for these informative videos.

[@artybea9316]

Brilliant! 💜

[@ratgirl44]

I have moved away from semi hydro as well. I thought it would help with plant maintenance but it ended up being more work!

[@BasiePlants]

Right? You start of thinking it is easier, ends up being the same (at the least).

[@elwood9408]

I have a hard time keeping up with watering when the reservoir is filled with leca, so I've moved some to a self-watering setup with a wick and large water reservoir, and those don't need watering for 2-3 weeks :)

Great DIY hangers.

Lovely leaves on that plant!

I love the hagers I make some very similar for my plants and also do macramé hangers for some of mine to. Good luck with the cuttings.

[@sherryporsch9349]

Like the way you make your hangers 😀 Sorry about your Ellipitica hope the base plant an cuttings make it. 💚

[@loretajulian9469]

Thank you!! Totally enjoyable. Who in your family, do you get your natural talent to make people smile?

[@BasiePlants]

I assume it is from my mom :)

[@MorganaDevina80]

Your so funny :) Thanks for all the tips! Also I am curious about your ceiling height.

[@rayacat1]

Great video as usual. I love the wire hangers thank you so much for teaching us how to make them. I am impressed with how you have hung all your beautiful hoya in your space. I also like the idea of pegboard on the walls. Sad to watch you chop your Elliptica, you must show us updates on the mother plant and her cuttings in the near future.

[@BasiePlants]

I love the hanging look and the pegboard as well :) I hope elliptica makes it! 😬 Will definitely make an update on it.

[@roxanedawn3752]

@@BasiePlants I feel the same as Olof. I see your architectural skills at work with the hanger construction. Especially with that draft for hoe placement! Good job! I'm making some now. I have an eliptica. Interested to know if it made it or if you found the cause of yellow leaves. ???

[@carolinacarrie2247]

I love the hanger tutorial. Mine are rope, and I dislike them. I'm going to copy!

[@brigidagee9572]

Hi! Miro! I always enjoy your videos! You are so calming and funny and I learn soo much! I was curious, I don't see any humidifiers, and your Hoyas looks so healthy. Also when you water your plants you just let the water drain in the saucers? I have to take my plants to the sink every time I water them. What am I doing wrong?! Sending you hugs from Brooklyn, NYC!

[@lisanowakow3688]

Those are wonderful, what gave you the idea of how to put it together?

[@CorpseBride64]

I swear I go back and forth with growing medium's. I tend to allow the plants to tell me for the most part. I usually begin every plant in Leca. Then depending on their needs and growth, I may transfer to soil (I mix up my own). My Hoya's prefer soil 100%.

[@cure.couture]

Hi, Miro, maybe you know a reliable place to look for variegated hoya obovata? Yours is simply gorgeous. And it has been on my wish list for quite some time now.

[@TheSweetgurliee]

I am in the same spot when it comes to semi hydro. Loved it for almost 2 years for my hoyas but now im over it. And i was getting root mealies :( so now im trying to repot almost 100 hoyas someone kill me now! 😭

[@samtata5632]

I am always trying to find a better substrate in room conditions than my bark chunky mix . The rocks and hard pine bark are quite drying in the orchid pots. Are you having better results with the addition of coir ?

[@BasiePlants]

It helps with retaining moisture, not as good as moss and bark. It's quite surprising how much water they still need :) Maybe it would be great for self-watering.

[@susanvernon5171]

Hi there im Susan in Western Australia. I am really enjoying your videos of Hoyas in leca. I have just bought 6 small Hoya plants. It is now here in Western Australia just finishing out first month of Autumn and I am wondering if it is still ok to transfer my Hoya's from soil into leca or should I wait until next Spring/Sumer to do them? :-) I do have a lot of other different plants in leca and I am just starting to get a real interest in Hoya's :-)

I like the hangers. I would like to see what your plants are hanging from. I live in an apartment and can’t put holes in the ceiling. I want to hang some plants so I’m looking for ideas. I purchased a clothes rack that kind of works but takes up a lot of space for the amount of plants I can hang on it. Only about 3 max. Thanks for the video. 💚🌿🪴🌱💚
