Hoya imbricata | Lessons Learned 2020

[@Wubblyt]

Thank you for sharing the journey of your plant. I also appreciated the music that was picked to match the different stages 🎵

[@MeeCha]

Ahhh, what a roller coaster! Thank you for sharing your experience with the H. Imbricata! The music helped a lot, removing some anxiety, lol!

[@SeowLikeMeow]

It was quite a ride! ^^

[@laurencelhoest9420]

OMG!!!! Since I last watched your video, I bought a hoya Imbricata. I did the same thing to my plant!!! Thanks to you, I now know if most likely will recover with patience. Beware growers, it can easily happen!!

[@waterwalkerwoodworks]

This is like watching a snuff film for Hoyas.

[@LoreenMew]

omg when i saw you put her in the sun under her dome I screamed lol I'm so glad she recovered ! what a fighter

[@SeowLikeMeow]

Yes, it was cringe worthy thinking back at it. It was getting sun from a south facing window and it was early spring bla bla bla.... just plain stupid. I couldn't believe I did that either. Live and learn I suppose.

[@thedivide3688]

@@SeowLikeMeow I grow mine in south window and sun on it...it does great...

[@SeowLikeMeow]

@@thedivide3688 Same here. ^^

[@thedivide3688]

@@SeowLikeMeow I’ve found it quite like about every condition. Mine is sitting in a pool of water at the moment. I give it periods of super hot sun. I have let it dry for weeks. I have watered it daily. I have grown in a pool of muddy water to mimic a monsoon. It does fine. People say it is finnicky...I find it one of the more hardy Hoya.

[@SeowLikeMeow]

@@thedivide3688 Awesome! The growth rate is probably impacted but for the most part they will survive. I think lights is key to survival. I assumed you gave it good lights still under those conditions.

[@Tafuny]

I laughed so hard when the leaves started to drop. I can totally relate 🤣 So glad she recovered!

[@SeowLikeMeow]

Glad you enjoy the video. ^^

[@AM-pw3qb]

Zo een mooi filmpje 😊 Ik heb ook een H. imbricata pas gekocht maar hij zit op een plankje. Ik vind het prachtig. Ik hoop dat hij groeien😊

[@Dollsanity]

I just got mine in an import today. I don’t know much but I looked at it and said “um, no, not a normal Hoya” lol. Thank you for this video, even the painful parts. It’s helped me so much!

[@SeowLikeMeow]

I'm glad it helps. They do better with something to climb on too. ^^

[@mardhatinajwa3589]

Thank you for bring us along the journey.. happy that it survive the burn 💪🏻

[@SeowLikeMeow]

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@edimarpacificojr5773]

Thanks for this video. Your music choice was fitting for each stage lol. And nice to see how your setup changes. My plant arrives today and this was super helpful 🙌🏾

[@SeowLikeMeow]

Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your new plant.

[@laurencelhoest9420]

Pheeew....That was a really close call...Lol..

[@sierra734]

Tfs I just bought a cutting and received it after it’s long trip , thanks for the lessons .

[@SeowLikeMeow]

Have fun!

[@Illaqglobaltours]

what is the soil do you use please? I have got a h imbricata but is a little bit dry .

[@SeowLikeMeow]

Hi! I use 50% perlite and 50% turface mix.

[@TerraPrestholt]

How is she doing these days? An update video would the sweetest❤

[@shelley6279]

Yay it grew back! Again and again! So resilient! I sun burnt my begonia luxurians to a chicken fried chrispy! 🤪 it still has some green left tho, so I’m hoping for a recovery as good as yours!

[@SeowLikeMeow]

Yes, plants are generally quite resilient. The secret is patience. Hopefully yours will come back. ^^

[@mariantapia4972]

Can you make an update video of what happened next?

[@SeowLikeMeow]

I don't have an update video planned but the plant just keep on growing. Slowly but surely growing. ^^

[@manuelarodrigues9613]

May I ask you what fertilizer do you use? Tnx for the video and congratulations on your achievement :)

[@Lgabriel217]

Yes, please tell us what fertilized you use.

[@SeowLikeMeow]

I use a water soluble 20-20-20 fertilizer every time I water. I add a very small amount, roughly 1/8 teaspoon to a gallon of water, every two weeks. I doubt the plant care which brand or type of fertilizer I use. Just make sure it is fed but don't over do it.

[@Jake-iw3tl]

@@SeowLikeMeow That thing loves foliar feeding, but ya gotta give it something to hug 🤗

[@SeowLikeMeow]

@@Jake-iw3tl Thanks for the comments! ^^

[@carolk3703]

A tough lesson to learn! She is still beautiful though.

[@SeowLikeMeow]

Thank you. My heart stopped every time a leaf died off. Hehe.

[@nendoplace2469]

screaming 😭😭😭 ahahahshshs

[@SeowLikeMeow]

Don't worry. I have more that are growing well. ^^

[@elviramcdonald7930]

Sorry, but you should not have covered it when it is outside coz the humidity will cook it

[@SeowLikeMeow]

Yup! Live and learn. Need to keep it out of direct sun when covered. ^^

[@debjanibhowmick5870]

Why all the fuss abt this plant??

[@Jake-iw3tl]

You needed to give it wood and humidity.

[@SeowLikeMeow]

Yes, I started a couple more plants on a pole. They are loving it!
