I’ve had a Hoys plant for 32 years and it blooms every year. Thanks for your valuable information.

[@nastyfyme]

Please continue with this series (I didnt know it was possible but I'm slowly killing my sansevieria and I think it's due to a wrong soil mix 😬)

[@horace6851]

give them more light, my grow in store bought soil (as is, no perlite or anything added) and they are perfectly fine and grow like weeds.

[@spiceflorals7606]

Chunky soil. Perlite, bark, coco coir. (More bark than anything)

[@jpadvocates]

Yes I second the notion to continue this series. What I want to know is how to make my Hoya grow faster, bigger more lush etc.!

[@adri4195]

I'm loving all these care videos! You're the best Nick, can't wait to see what you do next :)

[@dominiquevas9798]

Love this series. I was wondering if you'd consider making a video about soil mixes for prayer plants? Calatheas, etc? 😊

[@par3433]

I would love to see this!

[@saltydawg5489]

the biggest thing about calatheas is that they hate city water.. use rain water if you can or water out of a pond or other natural source

[@pammiedoodle8693]

@@saltydawg5489 So that must be the key! I had a Calathea “Dottie” that I always watered with r/o water, but I could NOT make that thing happy! Her leaves always had brown edges. I tried moving her to different areas including higher humidity (never any direct sun), but nothing worked. I swore I would never have another one☹️ I do love them, though!

[@vlong7112]

OMG, I need to repot my Krimson Queen today! Perfect timing 😍

[@sheilacasper2030]

That pot is gorgeous! The Hoya looks great in it.

[@ame1861]

I have a Hoya Gracilis in a plastic pot and I water it once in 12-14 days. I used to water it sooner than that in the beginning and lost some leaves. She's super happy on an east-side window sill and after less than 1 year since I bought it, started growing like crazy and even flowered. In love.

[@princepalmer3329]

I'm going to give this watering amount a try. Well closer too as mine also lost leaves . It's got something just popping through the soil now but that's taken ages. Thanks for writing the comment.

[@camille5173]

I love this format of video, thank you Nick ! Cheers from France 🌿

[@OpinionatedChicken59]

That little pot is so cute!

[@fogfern6184]

Thank you so much for all these extra videos! 💖

[@jaycarden5466]

Thanks for the tips man!

[@breakingburque2200]

I love that you’re putting out more videos

[@EnkaOwakura]

I was just about to repot my carnosa and kentiana, so this video comes just in time. Truly informative, thanks!

[@karensamsingh7827]

I recently got into Hoyas and this video was very helpful. Thank you Nick.

[@diablorojas6713]

Great video Nick. Very informative 👍🏻

[@Foxtrotlima73]

Perfect timing! My carnosa needs repotting due to me dropping it. Yeah. Not my finest move but hey ho.

[@nastyfyme]

Same thing heppened to me somewhere in April. Now instead of one I have four carnosas XD

[@nanabethscreations725]

Really love this video. I am also having some good response with the orchid spray but still use my fish emulsion with kelp about once a month. My Hoya are happy with that plan. I currently have about 50 different species of Hoya!

[@sherryporsch9349]

Happy Thanksgiving! Nick! 😀

[@dianahartley-kim7109]

Thank you for the informative video. 🙏🏻💚 I use the orchid spray and my Hoyas have loved it.

[@brassteeth3355]

Top notch plant channel here. Great info, great personality, and practical tips. Good vibes from Nick abound.

[@yvonnevigil7489]

Nick, thank you so much on the soil mixture for a Hoya. You answered my question. Not a indoors plant grower so wish me luck.

[@petecilione4166]

Happy thanksgiving, Nick.

[@louisehondel2761]

Your a great teacher. Would love more how to care for specific plants videos. I know you mix in tips with most of your vids but would be much easier to find if in the title. Thank you for your videos!

[@deannachristman8194]

I have a hoya that is grow like crazy and I am moving it to a hanging basket. Was good on size, so glad I watched so I get the potting mix right. Since I have made a few terrariums I realize how much paying attention to your mix is. Thanks so much for the clear, excellent info!

[@barbara4944]

Just placed an order for these mixes today. Thank you for the info.

[@deaconsmom2000]

I agree, agree, agree! My plants love the coco coir.

[@vanessacarroll2940]

I have been using Miracle-Gro Orchid Spray on my Hoya and they love it.

[@amandazylstra6285]

Helpful video! ❤

[@marypolk9820]

I just got a few Hoyas and I love them. Nick your Hoyas are so lovely. I just tried plants as I didn't have a green thumb. Try as I may with plants i never ended well for said plant. This year thanks to your videos I have several happy plants. Thanks for the great information

[@mayarada2059]

They all looking very healthy plants especially Hoya plants, really love watching them all.

[@suekuly4723]

Thanks Nick 😊

You are such a babe, I love ya Jungle. (Sending love from Boston Ma) Mine is pretty sweet here as well maybe one day we can join Forests :)

[@sylviagutierrez7676]

It looks so good,👍 💚🌱🌵☘️💚

[@e.MiLixx]

That pot is lovely

[@grannyplants1764]

A little surprised but glad to learn Hoya roots are sort of epiphytic, and need such an airy, pebbly soil mix...maybe because the leaves are thick and tough I assumed they would like heavy packed potting soil. (??) Thankfully I don’t have any right now! 🌿🌱🦃

[@cindyvan635]

Have a nice Thanksgiving 🤗❤🌱great info❤🌱❤🌱😉

[@MC1RPOSITIVESusieQ]

I love coconut coir! I am by the bricks, Menards sells Burpee’s organic and you reconstitute them with water. It’s fun and relaxing. Very satisfying. I make my own mixture I have coconut coir at the ready and I add 50% Coco coir and 50% total of perlite and orchid bark.I throw some worm castings in also.

[@lizziebee83]

I am loving this! What do you do with your Hoya when you have it trellised and it needs a new pot or it has outgrown the trellis?

[@valeriehowden471]

Hoya carnosa was and still is my first plant love.

[@deborahlockridge302]

Nick I love your channel. Quick question, what type of soil do I use for my monstera plants. It seems like once I take the plant out of the nursery soil it stops thriving as it was in the nursery soil. I use pots with drainage and i had a monstera soil mix but they don't do well. Any advice??? Help.

[@fwizzybee42]

That pot is super cute but I’m not doing anything with a lip anymore…things get stuck and are hard to get back out when it’s time for the next pot up.

[@marsf4883]

Cute pot! My hoyas just got attacked by mealy bugs. No fun! Hoping that the rest stay alive and thrive. Thanks for the video!

[@hemikaislam3303]

Owwww I needed a video on repotting hoya’s as a refresher. I added too much perlite into my mix (just to “experiment” and see what happens) it wasn’t a good idea and now I need to repot my Hoya!

[@saltydawg5489]

love your videos, and I love hoyas.. I just wanted to say that they will tell you when its time to water.. they get what i call a fingernail along the edge of the leaf when its time to water.. so feel your leaf if it is full and round edged then leave it alone its full of water but if the leaf is thinner and has that fingernail along the edge then water it all the way to the bottom of the pot and then leave it alone until it tells you once again that it wants water

[@e.MiLixx]

Me, who has begun collecting the harder to find varieties after a few years of getting to know Hoya… watching a beginner video like 👁👄👁 Ps that pot fits in with your collection of planters perfectly! But the shape is everythingggg I wanna try it now bc of the three holes that’s so cute. That’s why I love nursery pots, hate that they’re plastic but THE HOLES THO

[@e.MiLixx]

Great collection! Love my gracilis I got as a cutting from a friend. What happened to your ngong ngoy?

[@Amandasplants]

Thanks nick love you an all ur videos is that weird 😜

[@krispavlish2704]

Nick, I would love to hear about how you remove a plant from a climbing area. My mom and dad have a huge pot with golden pothos and Ivy. It’s climbed up the door and wall. They are moving to assisted living and I need to move the plant. L

[@Fyralynn]

Gently force it off the wall. It's strong enough to chip paint/plaster but can be removed, or just tackle it with a spatula. Better to damage air roots than snap the vine I guess. Then again you could just prop it if it does break.

[@donnajones2332]

I have a Hoya that’s quite large maybe a foot tall wrapped around a little structure and it’s full of bloom …beautiful big blooms but it’s in a tiny cramped little 4 inch pot and I’m wondering if I should repott it?

[@princepalmer3329]

Is a hoya the same as a hosta? I have just bought a British hosta which is growing more stalks leaves on one side.i have tuned the barer side to the light but is there anything else I can do? It's in the growers pot still and it looks like plain compost. No bits just smooth.

[@sandyheredia3027]

I got a Hoya australis in the mail and she didn’t make it! Very annoyed. I have to repot my Publix that’s why I’m here! I have mixed already orchid my x, regular soil and pumice stone. Hope this is ok haven’t had chance to get coconut mix.

[@OpinionatedChicken59]

Do they grow without humidity? I noticed when I put mine in my greenhouse they started growing so much they were climbing all over the greenhouse but they took up too much space so I took them out and then they stopped growing completely and haven't made so much as one new leaf in months! I can't remember what kinds they are, I know one is carnosa and the other two look similar but I remember the picture had yellow flowers not pink.

[@MiscellaneousMichelle]

[@thushanishashikalailesingh4268]

Why did you select a pot the same size as the nursery pot? How it affect if the selected pot is bigger?

[@CorpseBride64]

@Nick, I am having an ongoing problem with my gorgeous monstera.. I have 3 leaves, bigger then my hand. But, anytime a new shoot begins, it gets stuck. The new growth will not separate or open. They basically die in that stuck position. I adore this dear plant. It is gorgeous, otherwise healthy, in leca. Now, someone told me this was a humidity issue. So, I increased my humidity! Still no luck. I'm going crazy and have no idea how to fix this issue. Any advice would be very much appreciated. I realize this is a hoya video, so forgive me. All my Hoya's are very happy. Perhaps a video on this issue? Maybe others have this problem too.

[@Winallthethings9]

Have you checked the roots? Every time I see a plant declining I look at the roots. You might find your answer there.

[@eliaskotul6099]

is there some diffrence, beetwen h.gracilis and h. Memoria??

[@naturalgalwilliams]

Hello friend. I have to say that I love you and the educational conversation about house plants and care. However, I watched your recent video of the house plant tou and specifically we have a houseplant in common, Agleoma Back? I didn't catch it's full name and it's to your left of you against the kitchen wall. Please let me know it's proper name. Thanks. OneLove ❤️

[@kitakhat]

I don't know how hoya survives in those hanging baskets at the big box stores. When I bring it home they don't do well. The baskets are too big and deep. The hoya I have that's growing well are in pots much smaller and in an aroid type mix much like what you used. They can take a lil neglect and often do well when I don't fuss with them.

[@engineerkieran]

Ah yes, the bowl of forbidden granola.

[@katie4996]

Side note… I accidentally bought a pot without drainage holes. I plan to use it for cactus… will it be ok if I put rocks at the bottom? I’m too scared to drill a hole through the bottom because it was handmade and the bottom is pretty thick

[@liav4102]

You could use a plastic nursery pot inside it

[@horace6851]

honestly you can grow any plant in the pot with no drainage holes if you're very careful about watering. I used to grow all cacti in regular, store bought soil in pots with no drainage and as long as they get plenty of sun and only get watered when needed (you will see a cactus shrink a bit) they grew beautifully and flowered every year. Sun is the most important, they will adapt to other factors. The only real issue with no drainage is mineral build up, but if you repot your cactus every 1-3 years they will be fine. But they need direct sun for several hours a day.

[@katie4996]

@@horace6851 ok perfect! Thank you so much! I got a boob pot for my boob cactus 😂

[@katie4996]

@@liav4102 I’ve consider this! But it’s kind of a strange size so a regular nursery pot won’t fit. But I’ll definitely keep that in mind if pick up another pot without drainage!

[@lindam9018]

Katie, I've heard you can place a layer of rocks, then a thin layer of horticultural charcoal over that, before your potting mix. But I do agree with the poster saying you can plant in anything as long as you water only when needed and it has the light it needs. Best of luck with the new boob planter!

[@princepalmer3329]

Also what is a epithitic plant? You said the word but i dont think i got it correct.

[@dianal3827]

Epiphytic is the word you're looking for. It refers to epiphytes, which are plants that grow on other plants for support, but do not take nutrients from the host plant. Many house plants are epiphytes, including monstera, epipremnum, some philodendron, some orchids (phalaenopsis, for example), ivy, tillandsia, brolemiad, etc. Do not confuse epiphytes for parasites. Parasitic plants get their nutrients from the host plant. One example is the mistletoe (prefers to grow on oak trees and can kill them).

[@MariaM-8983]

Thxxxx🤍

[@debbibowen]

It's gonna be a bitch to repot that next time. The opening in the planter is smaller than the diameter of the center. Not gonna be pretty getting it out.
