[@claycobbles5967]

you are so cute and underrated!! your videos are FABULOUS! love this one, i recently started getting into hoya 🥰

[@LeafyLuster]

You are so sweet 💚! Thank you it means a lot & you made my day. I think Hoya are so fun to collect ! You can get them quite small, so you safe some space and each one is so unique, just like pokemon 😂 Which Hoyas did you start out with ?

[@promiserodriguez7553]

You have beautiful Hoya collection. I love Hoyas.

[@LeafyLuster]

Thank you, I do too. I want to collect even more in the future, here are so many cool varieties out there 🤩

[@margimorris7360]

I'm a semi hydro grower but have relented with the Linearis and have put her in soil. I hope I can get mine to look like yours

[@reedebrown6006]

Really fun, up beat video. Got my first Hoya two weeks ago and now have three! Got the bug big time and am already looking for more😊Looking forward to catching up with some of your other videos. Thanks for sharing💚

[@LeafyLuster]

Ohhh that is so fun Reede. I feel like Hoya are one of the most fun genus to collect, go get them all! Glad you enjoyed the video, see u in the next one 💚.

[@maryannchong6970]

What a great hoya video. You are so cheerful and you have lovely hoyas. Thanks for the growing tips too. Good job.

[@LeafyLuster]

Thanks so much MaryAnn! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the video and even left this incredibly kind message for me 💚 Greetings from Germany 🌸

[@saraheaster8414]

You’re such a joy to watch! And your Hoya are lovely too 🥰

[@LeafyLuster]

Oh thank you Sarah ! I'm glad you enjoyed watching my little collection, Hoya just bring me so much joy, I guess it shows 🥰

[@TheAKAaddey10]

Love your vibe this video was great!

[@LeafyLuster]

Glad you enjoyed it Adam, I appreciate kind comments like yours so much 💚

[@justinamontgomery2618]

I would love the serpens and the matilde....sorry about my spelling!we all love hoya videos thank you so much! Oh and I eould love that eskimo yoo! I love all silver plants! And would esp love a silver hoya! If someone does not love hoya it has to be they have not had enough varieties???? I loved them from the first one I owned...way back before I even realized what it really was!!! See you soon!

[@LeafyLuster]

Hah I love your enthusiasm. I like the silver ones too. I think Hoya grey ghost is so pretty! I guess its personal preference but there are so many hoyas, everyone must be able to find at least one they like :D ✌

[@irenelopez7954]

I love Hoyas 💕💕

[@LeafyLuster]

Welcome to the club then, Irene 💚

[@laceyrushworth9823]

You always put a smile on my face, thanks :) I love Hoyas, just afraid that mealy bugs love them. Good to know about the squishy leaves... my first one died if root rot but I bought it sitting in water at the store

[@LeafyLuster]

Hey Lacey, don't worry about the Mealy bugs, from my own experience I haven't had any Mealy bugs on my Hoyas yet. Only Spidermites 😂😂😂

[@laurenervin1404]

I would definitely love to see a video of how you pot your mathilde up! They're super quick growers in my experience, just like the linearis! As far as the obovata, they do root up super fast! Mine is about 6 months older than yours and was about the same size and right now the main vine has two more leaves than yours and I've already taken two cuttings, rooted them, put them back in the pot, and both new cuttings already have a new leaf!👍 it's a super rewarding hoya!💚

[@LeafyLuster]

Noted, i will definetly film the process of potting it up. Thank you so much for the information Lauren 🙏, now i want to go and propagate my obovata immediately 😅😅😅 I would love to have her a little bit more full.

[@Weirder_the_better]

Uh oh. I love Hoya so this is a dangerous video for me. Added a few more to my wishlist. 😆❤️

[@LeafyLuster]

Hahahaa upsies. Sorry not sorry, spreading more Hoya love every day 💚 What was your favourite one ?

[@jeaumanneh]

The macrophylla (now latifolia) roots quick in water for me!

[@LeafyLuster]

That's a great tip! I will think of that once it's big enough to prop again. Thank you 🙏

[@MichelleMonstera]

Oh my gosh I swear I saw this upload yesterday, thought I was going crazy!

[@LeafyLuster]

Hahaha I had some trouble uploading it, so I just re-upload today, I swear you are not crazy! 😂😂😂💚 Sorry for the confusion caused 😬

[@MichelleMonstera]

@@LeafyLuster no worries! 🥰

[@yaindyroque12]

I did too. I also went to IG to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. Lol.

[@hongchau8883]

Hi , I love your Video it was fun and enjoyable to watch, i just recently started to get into hoya at well.

[@LeafyLuster]

How sweet, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Which Hoyas did you start out with ? I think they are such a fun plant genus to collect 😊.

[@mommayanna]

Thank you for this video!

[@LeafyLuster]

You are so welcome!

[@MichelleMonstera]

After watching your video, I realized why all of my hoyas are dying. I underwater, and then ignore my hoyas, then decide to water... Then root rot. Thanks for the insight!

[@LeafyLuster]

I had to learn the hard way too. As soon as i potted them up in terracotta pots this issue got even worse 😂 . I guess the issue is, that they are portrayed as succulent like plants that don't need a lot of water which just isn't the case. So a wrong idea just got stuck in my head, which just led to me not caring properly for them.

[@MichelleMonstera]

@@LeafyLuster I hadn't them in terra cotta right now. 😂 I should put them in plastic! You're so right though, they do get classified as a succulent... Ugh, man. I'm learning, I'm learning!

[@dollycaldwell4938]

I love hoyas and would like to start growing them. I find that they can be quite pricey. Given that, can you recommend a type of hoya that is an easy keeper & i would be successful with? thank you

[@LeafyLuster]

I think my most forgiving Hoya is the Hoya Pubicalyx. Hoya Obovata is a little more special, but so far an easy keeper as well. In my experience rootrot (cause of UNDER & OVER watering) is the only real danger for hoyas. If you can manage that well you'll be fine with whatever hoya you can find. Definetly start with a garden center hoya & then move on to more rare cuttings/ freshly established plants.

[@dollycaldwell4938]

@@LeafyLuster thanks i shall put on my list

[@FlowerPower1000]

Lovely collection 😊☺️☺️ But..oh gosh! This Serpens… I love it so much and I still kick myself for losing mine. It took a pretty bad hit in the summer while I was away and from that point on I couldn’t do much to bring it back 😞 I think this one likes it more on the colder side, compared to the others..? Now I’m just terrified I’m gonna kill it again so I haven’t got a new plant yet 😖

[@LeafyLuster]

Thank you :) So sad to hear about your serpens, but don't beat yourself up over it. Losing a plant here and there unfoortunately is part of plantparenting , right ?! But listen I am slightly terrified of my Serpens too. I am constantly afraid she will just die out of nowhere. I moved her under a growlight now ( growlights seem to re-nergize my plants so well) & I think I will propagate soon to have a little backup too🙈

[@aviabad]

I love this video. SUBSCRIBED 🌱❤🌱❤ My favorite hoya is my obovata. I can't believe yours has grown so quickly. Good for you. Btw the pubicalyx is the Royal Hawaiian. I've purchased two pubicalyx expectations of the Hawaiian purple. Not yet. Lolz. Thank you.

[@LeafyLuster]

Thanks for subbing Avi! Ever since spring arrived in Germany, my obovata is going even more crazy, new offshoots and leaves everywhere. She really is trying to become my favourite hoya 😅. About the Pubicalyx I was never really sure if it is a Hawaiian purple. How can you tell without seeing the blooms? Is there any other characteristics to tell them appart?

[@aviabad]

The Hawaiian will start w leaves that are purple then fade to green. I'm going to keep trying until I get one that does that. ❤🌱❤🌱

[@aviabad]

@@LeafyLuster the Hawaiian will have leaves that begun purple and fade to green. I'll keep trying until I find one. I love the foliage much more then I do the blooms. That is until I get one, I think. Lolz 14 different ones in short time. Fingers crossed. Lolz

[@LeafyLuster]

oh then i have a royal hawaiian, cause it changes the leaves. Thanks for teaching me 💚. Keeping my fingers cossed for you 😉

[@walle5667]

Die "Hoya Tri Color" ist auch eine Carnosa, aka "Crimson Princess". Duften die Blüten der Compacta? Es heißt, sie riechen nach Schokolade. Kannst du das bestätigen? Ich bin noch auf der Suche nach einer 👀 Hoya Heuschkeliana duftet tasächlich nach Karamell. Sehr seltsam 😁

[@LeafyLuster]

Ja genau, da hast du natürlich Recht. Ich war etwas inkonsequent in meiner Benennung. Irgendwie lustig das so viele der "klassischen" Hoya Zimmerpflanzen alle von der Carnosa stammen. Wahr wohl besonders pflegeleicht und einfach in der Anzucht. Ich finde die Blüten duften extrem stark. Ich würde sagen nicht direkt nach Schokolade sondern eher nach einem Kakao mit Milch 😅. Ich hatte die Pflanze ursprünglich im Schlafzimmer aber während der Blütezeit musste ich sie dann wo anders hinstellen, weil der Duft dann doch etwas zu arg war🌸. Karamell fände ich ja schon ziemlich gut, das mag ich eigentlich total gerne. Die Heuschkeliana finde ich sowieso total hübsch.

[@lilplanthouse]

hugs🤗😂

[@anniesaddictions]

♥️ your Serpens

[@LeafyLuster]

Means a lot to hear that from a hoyalover! 😊 I hate to say it but the Serpens got root rot ...I managed to take a s**t ton of cuttings though, so we are fine 😂😂😂

[@chomama1628]

I have been told that touching the tips of the growth will cause them to turn yellow and drop off because of the oils on our fingertips.

[@anniesaddictions]

@@chomama1628 true. And why? Because if the hands are not clean, they would transfer the oils on to dainty sensitive new tendril which would harm and dry it. I have covered all that in my channel because I learnt that in the hard way too 🫶🏼

[@erinjoy5625]

Hey begginers here... What about hoya Bella , is that easy care ??? I just recieved a cup full of propagated cuttings . Wondering if this is going to beyond my early stages of care lol

[@LeafyLuster]

I never actually had a hoya bella but i would love to haave one! The flowers are so pretty. I never seen it in my local garden centers so I can't really tell you a lot about it. I know @wildfern has one and hers is beautiful and supposedly very easy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqrWhmiAerdljKc minute 2:17

[@LeafyLuster]

I think you got this, so give it a go 😊

[@erinjoy5625]

@@LeafyLuster thank you so much !

[@LeafyLuster]

Btw I am currently rooting some Hoya bella cuttings in water :) so I joined the club :)

[@erinjoy5625]

@@LeafyLuster oh great. It actually turned out to be such easy care. Even bloomed twice so far for me and has almost doubled In size. I have it on a south facing window and water once a week and seems to love it . Hope it's grows well

[@LanceB]

I have the same generic green carnosa with splash or white speckles lol I couldn’t ID it so it’s just the basic green carnosa 😂

[@LeafyLuster]

Yep no bullshit, just Carnosa 😁 Glad I could help 😉

[@RoseTorn411]

I've learned it's easier and faster to water propagate hoya.

[@LeafyLuster]

Yup I tried and tried and water is definetly just the easiest. I have a hard time transferring them to soil though. I am currently trying to prop them in water and leca or perlite and then transplant them into soil. It's still not 100% successful. Do you have any tips for me, on how to transplant them?
