LARGEST HOYA COLLECTION Tour at Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, Thailand - Ep. 147

[@barbarab1001]

My hoya serpens had two seedpods last year in my livingroom. They opened in December after 6 months and now I have like 50 tiny hoya serpens seedlings. So cute

I have wanted a serpens for a really long time, lucky you to have not a mother plant but babies! I'm envious!

@@summerrayneoakes You seemed quite in control of your faculties, dear, but I can see how it must've been a bit dizzying. t would've been nice if he could've given you some cuttings..but maybe this would be a problem getting through customs with your treasures... Your knowledge & familiarity shone through. I could see his respect for your genuine appreciation & knowledgeable observations grow. I think he learned a thing or two from you too. He seemed a very respectful man, towards you, & not at all like an arrogant expert,.

[@KnotDude]

This is what heaven looks like. What a wonderful video and place to see!

[@Inexpressable]

I've never actually heard of a Hoya before. Only really gotten into botany in the past two years; I'm only 19 and still have plenty of studying to do, but it's always nice when you learn about something totally new!

[@Inexpressable]

And I've mostly stuck to learning about my own surrounding fauna, so England, which isn't all that diverse but its still interesting enough.

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

You could spend a lifetime studying the native flora and fauna of England and still have plenty to learn, not to mention the innumerable introduced and cultivated species.

[@summerrayneoakes]

@@Nhoj31neirbo47 I concur!

[@summerrayneoakes]

No matter what your age, you will find that plants provide endless fascination and learnings....

[@brennaklaverkamp2690]

I am in awe! From my perspective, Summer you live a very enchanted life! This place is absolutely dreamy. Thank you for bringing it to us.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thanks for watching!

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

That's so amazing they have over 600 species. Love your tours! There is so much beauty in nature and all the different plants she has to offer. Such an amazing collection!

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

So many great Hoya varieties! I had no idea there were so many. I'd love to stay there all day and surround myself with them too lol I really learned so much about these Hoyas, thank you so much for sharing a great video! I loved it!

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

As I'm still watching this at 22 minutes in, I am totally blown away that this is his personal collection. My gosh! I could get so lost there!

[@azureus3644]

I put my Hoyas outside in my shade garden last summer. I'd never had the plants outdoors before. Hoyas are related to our native milkweed species and a Monarch butterfly actually laid eggs on my plants. I found caterpillars nibbling on the leaves! Now I'm wondering if Monarchs would pollinate the flowers. I am so astounded by that Hoya collection. It's so beautiful!

[@JohnJames.]

That subtle smell , that you catch and brings you back, but is hard to pin point , what and where you smelt it , is a joy

[@janecurtis5726]

I feel blessed to get a private tour of a private collection of Hoyas! It feeds the scientific side of me and the aesthetic. Great video!!

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

(27:30) - Their substrate culture is similar to orchid medium. It retains moisture and drains perfectly. They repot yearly because when the coir breaks down it retains too much water and doesn’t drain well , which can cause root rot. Over time it also tends to accumulate salts, etc., from fertilizer and any tap water used, which can weaken the root system. Their culture provides ideal conditions for vigorous root growth by replicating conditions found in nature where the growing medium is microbially dynamic and constantly refreshing itself and being leached clean by rain. This is especially important for epiphytic and semi-epiphytic hoyas which fair poorly in ‘sour’ soil. ~ (shout out) - Doug Chamberlain recently posted a video on his experience growing Hoya griffithii, one of the rare plants discussed herein.

Hi ! Am from India. Amazed to see Hoya Kanyakumariana. Kanyakumari is the southernmost tip of India. The hoya since it has its origin from Kanyakumari, the plant species got its name as Hoya Kanyakumariana. And am proud to write this comment ! Thanks for the video.

[@colincruickshanks7578]

Wonderfull video. Beautiful healthy plants displayed inside of perfectly ideal glasshouses. Brilliantly shot footage so as to be easy informal and relaxed yet packed with interest and knowledge. The narrative is so well delivered proving Summer has excellent communication skills. Captivating from start to finish. The time it took me to view felt more like 5 minuites. Well done to all that made this video.

[@edwardlittlefield447]

All I can say is "WOW"!!!!!!!!

[@princessskulls]

I wanted this to go on for another hour! This is really making me love Hoya

[@TheeChocolateGoddess]

I really enjoyed this episode. I learned a lot about hoya care and will be tweaking my nurturing techniques. Not expecting the amazing results in this episode, but hopeful that mine will show significant improvement. Much appreciated!

[@birdjohnson736]

Winter time i like put shade and light. Summer time put outside and get 6 hour sun then it get flowers. I like used Epsom salt 8 teaspoon to 1 gallons water winter. Epsom salt i only do one time years. Help the roots. I do all my plants with Epson salts.

I need to visit that amazing collection to sample the fragrances and if possible get som two or three of the most liked And I wander if the composition of the soils affect the smells like the wines , teas and coffees are varied according to the soils?

[@newmanmansell760]

I still enjoy watching this episode of the hoya greenhouses and actually all the episodes in Thailand. 😁🙏💖

[@mathildakd1]

Not surprised that Anders from Sweden is the guide of this particular episode. Seems like many Swedes have a close relationship with both Thailand and Hoyas! 🇸🇪🌿 🇹🇭🏔️🏖️

[@ShyDog827]

So interesting to see all the Hoyas and how they are grown . I’ve never seen them with supports in the pot for the stems to grow on. I’ll have to do this for my vining Hoyas 🌿

[@TropicalGardening]

Beautiful Hoya collection!!!

[@dandavidvalecruz7269]

Hoyas are very common here in the Philippines and they have a very high diversity here. I did not know Thailand really loves them. Here in the Philippines we keep them as garden plants

[@jacobhicks7319]

Hoya is quickly becoming my favorite genus of plant even though I don’t have any lol

[@mangoandsaltvideos]

Absolutely loved this tour!! I have a hoya excavata at home (the one with the large, thick racket shaped leaves) but it's so much smaller than the one you saw hehe! Seeing all these beautiful and sometimes rare specimens was really enjoyable, thank you :)

[@twistysunshine]

Ooo there's gonna be so many people whose favorite part of Nong nooch is this

[@romaineszabo7362]

Loved this, my hoyas, unidentified by me yet, have grown more than 5m long so I took cuttings and have put them in water to root. Could you please do a video of frangipanis, my favourite plant I would like to see the many different ones.

[@ViGirl71]

I’m just amazed of the Hoya there. WOW 😳.

[@cherylanderson3340]

Thank you for yet another magnificent field trip! I had no idea there were so many forms of Hoya, or of their cultural needs & no idea about the world my variegated Hoya was a part of. I know that scent of the velvety pinkish white bloom well, & the fascinating little red dots clustered in the center, that look like candy. Too bad I had no idea what type of soil it needed. It survived for maybe 15, 20 years, then began looking poorly. I didn't have a clue what it needed. It struck a chord of recognition when you described the way mine looked before it finally kicked the bucket. I had moved to a place with much larger windows & better light. Thought it would thrive in such good, direct S/W facing morning blasts of sun. As you pointed out, it grew weary looking & paler, & even had a couple leaves turn yellow. It was losing it's waxy coating, looking flat & dull. I thought it was drying in a sunnier spot, so gave it more water. That was the final straw. Now I get it...

[@askavi1423]

Amazing Hoya collection! ^^

[@johannavanwinkle815]

When I go back to Thailand I want to go visit this place!!

[@tammymccaslin4787]

I used to have a fairly substantial Hoya collection but my health declined and I wasn’t able to care for them and I lost them all. I hope to be able to have a few again in the future. Visiting this place is on my bucket list. I actually got cuttings from the Little’s back in the day. I miss my hoyas.

[@PathSeeker89]

Thank you so much for the tour!! I run an orchid nursery in South Africa and have a few hoyas on the side, have never seen so many species at one time!! Thank you

[@romaineszabo7362]

Hi where is your nursery?

[@myrnaleon8464]

How charming this guy has a slight Thai accent!. They have 600+ varieties!!! 😳😳😳. Rayne, you actually flew across the world to see this Hoya Nursery??? The blooms remind me of a Covid-19 diagram ! Thank you ,Rayne for sharing.👌👌👌

Im only 5 minutes in but 1. im in love and 2. i need to start correcting my pronunciations for these hoyas!! Lol 😆💚

Another BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING field trip. I'm proud to say that my Hoya carnosa is still alive and dare I say Thriving!!! I've had her since August of last year. First one for me. Thanks again for taking us along. 💐🌸💮🏵🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷🌱🐔

[@Neilhuny]

Wow! That H glabra was impressive for its leaves alone, then the H megalaster flowers were SO impressive! What a treasure trove! I suspect there will be an orchid episode waiting in the wings ...

[@resdylfilosopo4939]

cant wait the next field trip episode

[@rebeccagralla9944]

I have a Pubicalyx- I THINK it's the Royal Purple, but I'm not sure. I fell for the beautiful flecks on the leaves- but it has been giving me SO much love lately. I'm not super well versed in my plants yet, but it's put out five new leaves in the last two months, and I am pretty sure it's growing a few flower spurs. It's my one Hoya still going crazy- I don't think it got the memo that winter is resting time!

[@mlvalero2037]

Amazing tour in different kinds of hoya.. I wish I have any one of hoya's in ny garden a very soon.. Thank you for inspiring me.. God bless you

[@celmargarcia1910]

I can stay here all day!

[@albawaterhouse]

What a cool tour! It's a pity though that you spent so much time on hoyas we are familiar with like kerrii or pubicalyx or macrophylla when there were hundreds of Hoyas to explore there.

[@maartendegroote5727]

My plant wishlist just grew quite a bit

[@deem.4530]

Great information and filming. Really good to see how the experts do it. I was wondering with hoyas getting so crazy popular, is poaching them from the wild for overseas markets getting to be a problem?

[@summerrayneoakes]

I think there isn't even any habitat for poachers to poach from. Habitat loss is the greatest issue there. Plus they propagate so easily, you don't need to pull them out by the roots. Many of the hoya plants are edge species though too, so as forest gets cut, they can start to populate on some of those edges, but the challenge is too rapid deforestration in critical habitats.

[@deem.4530]

Summer Rayne Oakes wow, I truly had no idea the situation was that dire. That is incredibly disheartening. 😢 maybe sounds trite but but what do you personally think is best way to help right now to help?

[@lizshoemaker8713]

Hoya kanyakumariana - could be a species that originated in Kanyakumari (India). It's a coastal temple town at the southern tip of the Indian Subcontinent.

[@DuneGlam]

Hi Summer! Is this open to the public? The Nong Nooch Tropical Garden? I want to check it out when I go to Bangkok in the future.

[@summerrayneoakes]

The Tropical Garden is open to the public (see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4KcomyYhNFoa7c)....but these research collections are not unfortunately..

Please grow all the different ones in a large family pot and sell them to the public lovers. So we don’t have to look for different ones everywhere. Thanks 🙏 😊

Wow, I 'll be in hoya heaven, thanks for sharing, my hoya pubicalis pink fragant tends to form seed pods after bloming could be a moth is growing outside.

Place the Hoya's under 65/70% shade cloth to strike a balance between growth and flowering.
