Hoya latifolia | 30 Days of Hoya - 6 of 30

[@BasiePlants]

Guys, if you want to see this Hoya in bloom, check out Hoya sp. Rangsan video (day 19). It bloomed yesterday and since it has very similar flowers to Hoya sp. Rangsan I talk a bit more about them in that video. :)

I am just starting to collect and the nursery near me that does supply this lovely plant has a high price tag for just one leaf. I am not going to risk it! But I love those leaves.

[@ElenasGreenPlanet]

My Hoya did same thing. One of the vines turned into a pot of gold, and it’s keep on going. I’m going to try to propagate and see if it continues.

[@brendagale9332]

What a gorgeous plant. I purchased one about three weeks ago, it’s very small. I hope mine grows to be as beautiful as yours!

[@BasiePlants]

Oh that is great! They are good growers, I am sure yours will be big and beautiful! I hope you have enough space for it when it gets massive :D

[@malavikica]

She is the most loved hoya in my collection ❤️

[@BasiePlants]

Gifts are always most precious 💚

[@tw9307]

I just received one in the mail today. Had no idea the leaves are this big! It’s beautiful but not going to fit in my plant shelf.

[@s.c5085]

Beautiful

My Macrophylla didn’t bloom this summer but now since the nights are getting cooler and started pushing a vine and leaf growth, average temp been 66 fahrenheit . I’m guessing this hoya enjoys cooler temps ?? Haven’t seen any video’s on KZbin suggesting that.

نبات هويا روعة شكرا على الفيديو الجميل ❤

[@kayoua48]

I have this hoya too, a small one though. I really like when you give it more lights and the edges turns pink/fuchsia color.

[@BasiePlants]

Yes, I love that too! The leaves get very pretty indeed 😍

[@TheLucille7]

My favorite Hoya at this time. Your’s is just beautiful

[@BasiePlants]

It is also one of my favorites, especially because it is so big!

[@jasmin-yd9ro]

Wow, that leaf😍😍

[@BasiePlants]

It is gorgeous!

[@whatwhat8097]

The reverse variegation of this one is sometimes sold as macrophylla 'Pot of Gold'. Some nurseries in Florida have this one. :)

[@BasiePlants]

Oh, that one is lovely too :) There is a big chance it is also a latifolia. I am in search of true macrophylla from those in the know and so far, no luck!

[@peraknezevic]

she's the prettiest one

[@BasiePlants]

Just because you have it :P

[@Ed-li3sg]

Definitely on my wish list but so hard to come across one where I live. Awesome video as usual - very informative and helpful.

[@BasiePlants]

I hope you can get one soon! I have other macrophyllas on my wishlist, but I will have to be very patient until I find someone closer to me that has it.

[@NatashaHarper]

Very helpful. Thank you ❣

[@BasiePlants]

You're welcome :)

[@RodeoAnarchy]

Try smelling the flower at night, I’ve heard that makes a difference

[@BasiePlants]

Yes, sometimes it is morning, sometimes it is evening. It depends on the plant. I tried smelling mine at various times of the day, but I couldn't detect anytning. That said, it took me a month to realize one of my orchids gives off a beautiful scent at around 6 p.m. :D

[@luvlife2355]

Thanks for the great info. I just bought a decent sized one and was curious as to its care. How big did the plant get before you were able to stake it up?

[@BasiePlants]

I put them on a trellis or a stake as soon as they get 30-40cm long so I can control the growth a bit better. Doesn't always work 😂 I hope you found the video useful!

[@mwoods4608]

I need help! I just got this hoya and three of the leaves are limp and soft. What can I do?? I'm so scared!!

[@BasiePlants]

Hi! Did you check the roots? Or is it unrooted cutting? If the roots are healthy, just water it. :) If it's unrooted cutting, they will plump up as soon as the roots grow.

[@mwoods4608]

Define healthy.. lol

[@malavida13]

How much they costs in America? this plant is so beautiful, hallo from Italy!

[@BasiePlants]

I have no idea :) I am not in the US. This one is about 50-60€ in Europe, a larger plant, depending when and where you get it. Cuttings, around 10€. Greetings from Serbia!

[@malavida13]

@@BasiePlants ahah sorry, i thought you was American, you speak english very well. Here in Italy it costs max 45 euros, cuttings max 20, have a nice day!

[@BasiePlants]

@@malavida13 haha no worries! :D

[@lauracoserea5937]

Do you use the regular Seramis granules or Seramis for orchids substrate?

[@BasiePlants]

We don't have seramis here. I bought mine from an orchid collector who buys it in bulk and resells small packages - but I never saw the original package. What can I tell you is that it's quite small, perlite size perhaps and I add it usually to smaller pots of Hoya :)

I have Hoya in bali

[@BasiePlants]

I wish I was in Bali right now.

@@BasiePlants ok

[@meganhuff1218]

My leaves on mine are soft and droopy... what do I droopy? :(

[@BasiePlants]

Check the roots for rot/ die back. In a good mix, they can be watered once or sometimes even twice a week, especially in summer. When you don't water for a long time, roots die back and if you water after that, you get root rot.
