[@BasiePlants]

My face says how excited I am to have to water these hoyas more.

[@angimolnar4056]

😂😂

[@vikkiymurray7326]

I know this may be an old video but I wanted some help with my hoyas and boy, did you deliver. Thank you Miro for your experience and suggestions as well as your excellent commentary 😂😂😂

[@taleandclawrock2606]

What an encyclopaedic and erudite presentation on this topic! Immediate subscriber with thanks!❤❤

[@betsybegonia]

I find that big leaf Hoyas need more water because even if they aren't thick like H. obovata or kerrii, they have a lot of volume to keep hydrated.

[@megshush]

That’s for sure. My latifolia species require sooo much water.

[@PinkVirgo]

You lost me when you said that you've never eaten a taco 😂😂

[@siobhanhogan4495]

Not sure if you mentioned it, but H. obscura is one I've heard people struggle with. I decided to "over water" it, and sure enough it's growing beautifully under my grow lights (AND despite the 20% humidity cause, "Oh Canada"! It's almost wintertime!) I also sing "thirsty" songs to them, like "Rain on me"... it was one time, and there were no audible objections. They also grew exceptionally well the following week. That's a tip only us "pros" know, though... Always a treat to sit down and watch your videos! :)

[@ragingfloof7999]

I found the same thing to be true with my H. Sunrise, just got an Obscura so this was very helpful

[@greenleaves6340]

It always confused me when people say do not over water your Hoyas🤔. I lived in Asia for half of my life and Hoyas are being rained on 9 months of a year. So definitely they like water but it should be in a well draining media😁.

[@dana102083]

So more frequent.... but this ? my question. I get a nice chunky mix.. i water and it runs thru immediately..how much do i let it run thru before walking away? Shouldnl itnstill feel heavy? Do i let it run thru and walk away?

[@jezackr3500]

@dana102083 if you let the water run through and get rid of the excess from the saucer, that should be okay. As long as the substrate is wet, but there's no standing water it should be fine:)

[@sherrykumar2883]

This was great Miro, super informative. I started collecting Hoyas in 2020 (I didn’t understand the appeal until then 🤷‍♀️) and I totally underwatered them for the first year. In 2021 I moved to self watering pots with organic soil and I was amazed at the speed of growth and the size of my leaves! I’ll never go back to pots that aren’t self watering 👍

[@amandacountryman8024]

Can you recommend a brand of self watering pots?

[@Ladytee1231]

I totally agree with you. I have experienced this. I followed the entire “let your Hoyas dry out. Shock them into blooming” advice. I am an chronic under water as well. My most of my Hoyas suffer slow growth and not 1 bloom. A few weeks ago I increased watering. All my Hoyas are showing new growth. I have killed 3 caudata hoyas. Hind sight is 20/20. I under watered it. I have very common hoyas. I had a Hoya Chelsea that had 2 leave for a year. I recently put it in a plastic bag. It almost immediately put out new growth. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@elenveeoh]

Perfect! I've been thinking this past week I need a list of hoyas that need to stay moist. Haha Love your videos.

[@pchabanowich]

Lots of interesting stuff you've given us, and I thank you for taking the time to present the material so well. This past summer, the Hoya Australis (I think) wanted water nearly every day and has consequently exploded with vigorous growth, having had three blossomings. It is the size of a bass viol, one leader playing with the ceiling. Vancouver, Canada. Even though we are in late November, she is growing new leaves and producing vast systems of leaders. Large plastic pot, orchid-mix with potting soil and some sand. Some of her leaves are huge for the variety. She has devoured the two bamboo trellises I provided, and some of her older branches are beautifully grotesque and seem to have a blatant agenda - the takeover of the entire apartment building. This year I found some new varieties (late to the game), and now have four kinds. Two of them are in clay pots, but they are glazed, so do not absorb water - and they are beautiful. My feeling with them (as a novice) is that if one gives them a large pot, they will spend time looking dormant, but they love to investigate their medium, growing roots like mad. Once they've a good grasp of their home, they become unstoppable, seemingly with an uncanny strength. Your collection is amazing - way beyond the capacities of my dwelling - and it is evident the pleasure you take with your babies.💐

[@elrevah]

I have exactly the same with one hoya kerrii, on lacunosa and one obovata. The smalll kitchen looks like a hoya jungle!

[@Sarah-zk4je]

I found out the fun way post vacation that some of my hoya don't like drying out. RIP half the leaves on australis lisa, but only a few on my mathilde, heuschkeliana var., linearis, polyneura, and latifolia.... for some reason I thought the hoya would be fine, not true

[@betsybegonia]

This comments thread: people upset that Miro hasn't had a taco.

[@Propfaqs]

I love clay pots because they tie me to watering. I take more steps in my day ferrying the Hoyas to the sink. I worry about the watering and inspect them every day.

[@topstitchgirl]

I think my Hoya Australis Lisa is a thirsty one. It was doing ok when I used to water my plants more frequently but now that I'm lazier, it keeps dropping it's new leaves. I thought it was maybe a pest issue but your video has given me the possibility that it's may need more water. My other hoyas are doing well

[@brooklin_bernek]

First I have to say if Hoyas are in the correct well draining drying soil / substrate they need to be watered , a lot lol!! I hate when people say “dry as a bone” no lie!!! Second 😊 People may come for me , but I will say the Hoyas that I ignore (I know it’s sad ) are the ones that bloom and seem the happiest , even with pests . It drives me nuts!!! The ones I treat and water the correct way, just grow nice but never bloom . So this is making me angry hahahaha!!!! Anyone else agree? Just me? Okay 👌🏼

[@alexsiberry4775]

Great video! My Hoya carnosa compacta is thirty four years old and there was a period of ten years when I think it got watered once every six months if that! Now it fares better because I am in phase two of hoya collecting and have a myriad of small hoya plants in terracotta pots that need at least weekly attention. They will be transitioned into clear pots as they become root bound and then end up in a ceramic pot for aesthetics once they achieve 'lush' maturity ... hoyas have been a life long journey for me and I love them.

[@mwoods4608]

I don't recommend ceramic pots, you can place your clear pot inside of the pretty ceramic pot.

[@TheQueensWish]

Miro I live in Texas and I grow Hoyas both inside and outside. The outdoor Hoyas have amazing growth spurts. Thank you so much for all your advice!

[@NewUkeNewYork]

Unexpected for me: I haven't had my pachyclada long, but the bottom leaves soften up so much in between waterings, and when I notice that has happened and water promptly, it seems happy. In my home, it seems to need water more frequently than many of my other Hoya.

[@betsybegonia]

Okay it's time for a taco night. I'm on my way.

[@Neworl22]

Thank you for all these helpful tips! Now I know why I lost some of my Hoyas.

[@BasiePlants]

I am also more likely to kill them with underwatering than anything else 😅

[@lRegulus]

Now we need to know what Doesn't like to be overwatered. (;

[@myram1226]

Thank you for the information given today. Since I started collecting Hoya plants I have been watering more than recommended because I noticed they needed more water. I like your videos and love your Hoya collection. Have a great day and week 🤓

[@cate7777]

I have some of these Hoyas, acquired recently. I water these daily usually with a spray bottle to moisten the medium. They sit on my desk where I work so I see them every day. I am a bit of a hovering "mom", as it were. I have no excuse for under watering anything. And calatheas. I have those too. Should I have my head examined? Possibly... 😳

[@BasiePlants]

For calatheas? Definitely :D For hoyas? No. Hoyas I understand why someone would have. Calatheas... no :D I definitely have underwatered some of these and now they are in self-watering pots and that helps a lot :)

[@maddart4445]

Terracotta pots dry out 5o quickly.

[@ramonaboo5458]

I have no luck with hoya. All my propagations always dying . 😭

[@stacey8073]

Great video, lots of important information! One question tho, did you end up watering the variegated obovata? 😂

[@JessDivaTM]

I've started to write on my calendar when i do certain watering xD I don't have a schedule I just like to have something to refer to for my more tricky babys, also I moved my bellas out of a grow light and into a window and I swear the next day one of them started to grow its first peduncle, the water requirement for bella is now worth it

[@user-pz1tz3hp8p]

Amazing and such a helpful video, thank you!

[@mwoods4608]

rewatching this 9 months later. eliptica is a drama king in my house. more water, less water. the only way I can grow it is in a kids small candy container in stratum with perlite

[@BasiePlants]

My first plant died due to mysterious issue that prevented ANY of the 20 cuttings from rooting. Now I have three new ellipticas; one clone is the same as my previous one - grows 5x larger leaves, on my grow wall, 5x more slowly than before, just in coco peat and perlite; one is in the tent, and is the first one that will bloom; one I just got in my haul, so we will see :) Quite a journey with elliptica :D

[@Shearedfield]

I forget where I saw it. Someone said Hoya serpens are very prone to rot. I’ve been letting mine fully dry and it seems fine. But I’ll definitely keep a closer eye on it now.

[@megshush]

I used to let mine dry out fully and the roots def rotted slowly and the new growth just stopped. Now that I water it before it’s fully dry, it’s growing much more rapidly.

[@marinewo]

Thanks for the video Miro! What about Hoya villosa/globulosa?

[@nitamacey7929]

Thank you for discussing this topic, new to growing Hoyas I was waiting to water treating everyone as succulents. Lesson learned the hard way! Honestly my Iris Marie I think is my worst diva. Griffithi Silver is my second. Oh and my Treubiana grows so much better being watered 2 times a week which was a shock to me . Thank you for sharing!!! 💚💚💚

[@Meskarune]

Some hoyas come from tropical and warm areas while others come from cloud forests - lower temperatures, high light, higher humidity. For instance hoya linearis. The cloud forest types will need a lot of water in warm weather.

[@Lorenmcdee]

Dude I have a Hoya obavata that's always crazy thirsty. I can completely soak the soil every day and it's dry within 24 hours. It's massive, root bound, grows like crazy, and is in a terracotta pot. I would have to work SUPER hard to over water it. My hoya linearis loves water, too. it's about to flower and it's screaming for water daily.

[@BasiePlants]

Oh, don’t get me wrong, mine gets dry 😂 But it won’t throw a tantrum if you don’t water it on time like most (if not all) hoyas on this list will 😬

[@walle5667]

Give it a bigger pot. I don't think it is too lovely for the plant to be that root bound. I'm also not sure the plant will get properly hydrated like that. My Carnosa went through a phase where no matter how much I watered it was always dry and the leaves started to shrivel despite daily watering. Took me a while to realize what was up. Bigger pot, problem solved.

[@Lorenmcdee]

@@walle5667I honestly don't have room for it to be in a bigger pot and it seems very happy. It grows so much that I'm taking while tendrils as cuttings every weekend for friends recently and it's still hitting the ceiling from sitting on the window sill. She's so crazy I'm doing experiments on her like clipping the tips of tendrils to see what happens and if the leaves develop faster/slower without the growth point at the end. She gets loads of food and light and I put worm castings on the surface whenever I can. Honestly she's so big I'm going to have to just start over with some cuttings and sell her. She's taken over 3/4 of the window. I got her in a 6" pot last year and she's just a crazy ass beast. She spans at least 4' wide and 6' tall. She's wrapping around all of my hanging plants (why I'm cutting tendrils) and I can't even untangle her from the hanging plants directly above her. She's curled up onto the curtain rod.

[@sharonbrown5238]

I am also a chronic underwaterer😢 but the way you described the many reasons you might not water on time resonated with me so much 😂 I can’t tell you have often I lay on my couch and sadly watch my plants die in front of me hahaha anyway, working to be better at that!

I have a curtisii that I can't get right...the stems are very thin, and the leaves are small but thick-ish. I've had it both go yellow from overwatering, and crispy from waiting too long to give it a drink. Should I water when the pot is dry half-way down? 3/4 dry? Help!

I have watched this video several times. Especially, when I have aquired new Hoyas. It's so nice, Miro, that you have such expertise and share your experiences....along with humor and facial expressions 😂😮😊. Thank you and take care! ❤

[@elrevah]

Thank you for this, I expected that already concerning the underwatering, but now it's for sure ;) And on the other side I'm really afraid about overwatering and rot roots (lots of my hoyas aren't in mineral substrate, and I heard you saying to not change the substrate where the hoyas have been grown). I didn't see if you already made one video about it but now since I'm using for few months some grow lights for the first time in my life, I'm wondering what kind and how much light the different hoyas really need. I have for instance one hoya bella and one Hoya-IPPS-7750-Sulawesi that are under a strong grow light, but only 12 hours a day, the whole winter, so not so high temperatures, and they both seemed to really like it - even if I forgot to water them a lot, and the hoya bella was and is (!) even flowering a bit all these colder months. On the other side, all others hoyas that are under, I guess, less powerful grow lights don't seem to have really reacted at all, in bad or good, beside some leaves sun stress (hoya serpens, hoya parasitica black edge. Lighting issue all depends about the balance togehter with watering and temperature (and pot size), as you remind here too, but this is a bit stressing.

[@marcoslalinde9976]

What about Hoya thomsonii? I have a rooted cutting that I can’t get to grow a vine. It has been with me for 2 years. I have tried all kind of lighting settings. It is in a selfmade soil mix. I have been watering it more often for some months. I fertilize it with orchid fertilizer once a month. The leafs are pristine and beautiful, but it seems like it does not want to be lush (I do not even expect a bloom tbh). Maybe you can recommend something I am desperate 😂

[@robinhavens695]

Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh… we need to get you tacos!!! 💚🌮💚 LOVE YOUR VIDEO, as always!!!!!!!!!💚🌱💚

[@Cntagious]

Thoughts on endauensis? Small leaf so maybe more water. I barely had mine a month and leaves started to yellow at the base. It was in moss and bark mix. I neither over nor underwatered IMO so maybe transplant shock, I don’t know. In Ikea grow cabinet with temps 68-75F and humidity 50-78% and under Barina LED grow light. When I knew it was more likely I couldn’t save it, I took healthy cuttings from it. Now just two weeks later, about half of the cuttings have rooted. Those rooted in pon and the ones in moss-bark mix rooted faster, the ones in water still zero.

[@seasistahShells]

Drina hasn't reached out yet? They should. When you also said "We don't get them here . I don't know why" . 100% can relate. Applicable to almost ever thing. 😑 Plus LOL that random revving motor in front your house.....ugh I hate those too 😒

Hi Miro. Watching your videos non-stop and loving all of them! This one is so very good! Is it possible for you to make a similar videos about light requirement and humidity? Something like "higher to lower light" loving Hoyas "higher to low humidity" loving Hoyas" Thanks for all you do!!!

I wonder about hoya khroniana. Just received one. Leaves are small but very firm. They also have it in some sort of backyard soil.

[@od.vandeveer]

I have my multiflora dropping the newest leaves, they are still green. Can this also be underwatering, it is a rooted cutting on pon but all 4 new leaves (2 bigger and 2 smaller) have fallen off. The older ones are still on

[@BasiePlants]

It could be inconsitency in watering. Have you checked the roots?

[@od.vandeveer]

@@BasiePlants not yet. I will check them tomorrow. Thanks. I just transferred it to self watering, hope that will give it a more consistent moisture

[@katyamaji2887]

So do you have a humidifier in your grow tent? I'm trying to find a balance in my cabinets. Of course the humidity goes up after watering. When the humidity gets down to about 50 percent I have these moss pouches I made with the mesh used to make moss poles. I guess I'm worried it will get too humid and then the hoyas will dry out slower than normal. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm the same boat. A little shy of 300 plants with a little over half of them being Hoyas. I have done the chunky mix and was watering every 5 days or so. Now using more Coco pith so more water retention. However I have put off many a change of substrate so I still water very often.
