Hoya polyneura Care and Propagation | Show and Tell

[@1101naomi]

The inner variegated one is EVERYTHING!

[@marcelagarnica7076]

The inner variegated is gorgeous! But honestly they’re all so beautiful

[@jaclynsplants]

Polyneura is probably my favorite right now and one of the only Hoya I don’t bring outside in summer because when I did I could tell it wasn’t happy. Now watching this it all makes sense! Can’t wait to collect the inner variegated one day 😍

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Awesome! I'm glad it may have helped you out a bit ☺ The inner variegated is sooo beautiful!

[@garretthall9508]

I love all your KZbin videos, I wish I had as much Hoya knowledge as you do. Your amazing and your plants are amazing!

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Aww thank you! I’m glad you’re finding these videos helpful 💚

[@pattir9093]

Excellent video. Thank you so much for this one. I just started some Polyneura cuttings last week and I’m crossing my fingers that they root for me. Please do more videos like this - plant spotlight with care, growing and propagation tips!!

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Best of luck! Thank you for watching 💚

[@yeahivekilledthat719]

This was the most comprehensive video of this hoya. Thanks for doing this.

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Aww thank you!

[@Misheru_Nora]

Thanks for all the information! I love this hoya so much.. I live in Temecula, Ca and almost lost it outside because it was so hot.. but I cut it into each node and propagated them and they are rooting and growing new leaves! Yes I agree with all that you said! It was thriving during the winter 😊 thanks again!

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Thank you! I’m glad you’re able to save them. I’m really having a hard time not cutting this one. I gotta be strong for the experiment! Lol

[@Misheru_Nora]

Be strong, you can do it! 💪

[@marymorris9421]

Very informative video. Thanks! I live in Louisiana and I have the green one. It is outside now. We have very hot temperatures. I am going to bring it inside and put it under the grow light. What about humidity?

[@bwilliams5471]

Wow, I have a green polyneura and I love it, but NOW..... there are three more to add to my collection wish list !

[@juaniskay03]

Wow love this Hoya now I know why the one I have outside is not happy ,to hot for her here in Oklahoma , i love you small pots you have the silver fish tail❤❤

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Thank you! Those pots are so adorable!

[@sheilacasper2030]

What a beautiful hoya: all the varieties. Thanks for the valuable info.

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@cathijones3924]

Thank you for show casing this Hoya! I need one of these !

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Yay! Glad you like it too!

[@melle671]

Can you do this for linearis? I've tried 3x already. I did water to soil 2x and perlite to soil and haven't been too successful. It roots just fine but doesn't transfer well. It does great in water and perlite but I don't like growing permanently in semi hydro

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

I can try! But when I also figure it out 😂 our props are extremely slow but I do believe it’s because it has been so hot in the greenhouses.

[@ChelseaZimmerman-g2o]

The inner variegated one is EVERYTHING!. Outer variegated polyneura actually has a cultivar name...'Wishbone''.

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Awesome! Yes, someone else mentioned that to me. Would you be able to (if you know) direct me to any information about where the name come from so we can add it to our website as an information? 😊

[@erikm8372]

Question… what USDA gardening zone are you guys? I’m in 10b, coastal San Diego. Like five mins from the ocean. I read that there is a better system though, for garden zoning. The California regional zones or something. They break it down into more nuanced zones. Like inland or coastal, near canyon or river, etc. Also, do _Hoya polyneura_ (or Hoya in general) actually live in the upper ranges of the Himalayan MOUNTAINS? Because I know they’re found more in the Himalayan _foothills_ or semi-tropical & temperate highland regions… of India, Nepal, Tibet & Bhutan. They’re low enough in elevation to not have to experience hard frosts or snow (ice would be death), but they’re also high enough in elevation that the weather is generally cooler than the lowland jungles. More temperate cold seasons and semi tropical in spring & summer. But they’re not in the snow on Mount Everest, that I know if. They might surprise us & somehow handle it, but I doubt they’d thrive if they were exposed to a yearly cold winter. The system would probably shut down. I mean, CAN Hoyas die back and regrow like a perennial? If so, I’d say maybe they could handle snow. But idk. I’ve only owned four species.. Here, in San Diego, shockingly our winters have been as cold as 35° at the lowest (2014 New Year’s Eve), but usually it’s 40°-50°. I generally have all of my plants outside 24/7, 365, but only when it’s above 45/50°. I still try to shelter or protect them when it’s windy or temps are below 45°. But that’s just bc I get paranoid, lol. I’d say the only difference from San Diego to where you are is the cold fall and winter, and frosts. You could probably get away with leaving certain species out all spring and summer, and bring them in after the first frost. Depending! 🤣

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Thank you for the very thorough comment! Unfortunately we are in zone 9b. As far as I can remember, someone once told me that they live in the higher elevation as well. I can’t remember exactly but I remember that’s one of the things that prompted me to do this experiment. One of our customers also mentioned they leave theirs outside and it gets snowed on every year and it doesn’t bat an eye. Unfortunately I can’t do that experiment with this specific plant since it’s already absolutely stressed 😂 However, I can tell you that this one survived our snow, hails, and tons of rain haha As for them being perennial, it may vary per species. I have a fungii x RHP that lost almost all of its leaves last year and came back this year. Granted, it wasn’t snowed on and rained on. It was in a porch so I am not exactly sure. I’m currently growing fungii, some SMS cultivars, minibelle, and ‘Bent’ outside this summer and they all have been very good so far. I don’t know yet if I want to keep them outside this winter or actually try to keep them alive 😅

[@garretthall9508]

Would polyneura like to be by the ac then? Also what do you feel are the best cooler growers besides carnosa and retusa?

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Probably haha it survived my fridge so I think it’ll be fine. Don’t ask why I put it in there 😂 Here are some cold growers - linearis, lyi, ‘Bella’, medinillifolia, ☺️

[@raminian43]

Can the same things be said about hoya lobbii ? Specially about temperature?

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

I haven't really tried growing it in cold, but I will say it is native to southeast Asia. So I would lean towards a warmer climate for this one without actually testing things 😊

[@jennieleon5087]

So informative.

[@Verdantverdant27]

Outer variegated polyneura actually has a cultivar name... 'Wishbone''

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Interesting! I have never heard of that. Do you know who named the cultivar?

[@Verdantverdant27]

@@unsolicitedplanttalks it originates in New Zealand, Eion Scarrow It is a shame such popular plant got it's cultivar name dropped & forgotten I will always insert the cultivar name in honour it 💚

[@garretthall9508]

Whatever ended up happening? Did it die?

[@ratikasharma]

Can you please do a video on what Hoya varieties can be grown outside in California winter? Thank you!

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Love the idea! We will add it to the list 😊

[@lushusblonde03]

#DatInnerVariegated😍😍😍

[@ThaoNguyen-hl6mb]

OMG, I need a recommendation for any dry and cool temperature-loving Hoya. I'm living in Alberta, Canada and it's always between 18-25 degrees Celcius.

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Hmm polyneura, lyi, or thompsonii would be ones that I may recommend ☺

[@juansmari115]

How about bring it inside to help it ? If you dont care if your plant dies maybe you should give it to someone that will actually care if it lives or not 🤔

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Haha 😂 If you are worried about our plants you should head over to our website and check out what we have in stock! www.unsolicitedplanttalks.com/collections/hoyas I hope you learned something in this video ☺

[@steffanycarruth3660]

So what you're saying is that the polyneura should go outside during the winter 😆

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

Yep 😆

[@terryplum7959]

Why not take it inside your house? Too beautiful to leave outside on the brutal heat!
