Top 25 Mind-Blowing HOYAS 🌱 Best Amazing Hoya Plants RARE + COMMON

[@Rebecca19x]

I love how you included the instagram footage and your reactions to the pictures and videos as well!! That was an awesome touch!!

[@suezaman5687]

Hey Claire! I love your videos and watch all of them! I am generally not very active in the comments but there are a couple of tings I felt like I should mention here for future reference. The hoya latifolia species has thousands of cultivars actually, so I would say there is no 'true latifolia', they are all latifolias. So your hoya latifolia (sarawak) is named as such because that specific latifolia came from the Sarawak region. You can add description of the specific cultivars inside the bracket, but they are not part of the hoya name. As for the hoya latifolia (macrophylla red), the 'red' would come from the colour of the flowers, and not the leaf colour. Like other latifolia cultivars, more light would sunstress the plant more where less light means less sunstress. Some cultivars sunstress more readily than others, for example hoya latifolia (sp. IV from WMZ) sunstresses more readily. On the other hand, there are actual macrophyllas in the world but the ones in circulation were studied and then reclassified as latifolia. So, for example, the plant you call macrophylla red is actually a hoya latifolia (macrophylla red). Similarly, the macrophylla albomarginata is actually a hoya latifolia (outer variegated). Also, the parasitica were also reclassified as verticllata, so the correct way to write the name for the parasitica black margin would be hoya verticillata (black margin). Loads of others like hoya acuta were also reclassified as verticillata too. I know it's confusing, but there is more that you learn every day in tthe hoya world. The 'cultivation names' are different to standard names and the growers generally come up with them. Take Susie Q for example, there is actually 'true' hoya susie q which is in fact a hybrid of hoya carnosa (outer variegated) and hoya carnosa (krinkle 8). However, no hybrid hoyas can be variegated, they will have green leaves to the best of my knowledge. The variegation on hoyas are man-made through chemical inducing/ radiation. The general guess in the hoya community about the 'susie q' in circulation is that it is just a hoya carnosa (outer variegted) with much more crinkly leaf, much like the structural difference between your and your mom's carnosa (krinkle 8).

Hoya addiction is real. 😂 I know i can't buy them all so I'm just trying to keep my collection diverse and not buy different varieties of the same plant. I did buy my gracilis, sarawak, and burtoniae bc of you. 😊 I still have several on my wishlist. I'd recommend hoya heushkeliana variegata and h. quinquinervia. I love mine so much! I bought those two because of wildfern. KZbinrs are dangerous for my wallet. 😂

[@MissSyrinxie]

The Hoya Caudata Sumatra is one of my absolute favorite hoyas. I LOVE the texture and prehistoric look of the leaves. I absolutely love the look of them!

[@SailorCSH]

I learned recently from a Plant With Roos video that the hoya bella albomarginata also goes by the name hoya bella anneke buis and that it is named after one of two sisters from the Buis Family that cultivated it. The inner variegated one is named after the other sister - hoya bella lida buis.

[@planttherapy1860]

Nice bit of information 👌🏽 👍🏼

[@torquess454]

I just watched that vid too!

[@SuperPatruch]

I thought the Inner variegated is called Luis bois

[@1ameca2queixpan]

How do Hoyas get named?

[@melissadarnall399]

I came across isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle. It has been a game changer for mealy bugs! It’s easier and I find they are much more controlled after spraying.

[@Aawiss]

Also, neem oil. It's amazing for mealybugs (& most pests). It's a natural alternative to pesticides - the layer of oil basically suffocates pests but ALSO prevents them from being able to eat once the plant absorbs the oil. Highly recommend giving it a go!

[@samidelfosse587]

Neem oil has been a plant life saver!

[@LadyMordhaus]

Hello. Question, do you prefer to spray it or dab it on?

[@samidelfosse587]

@@LadyMordhausas a preventative, I use Capt Jacks neem oil in a ready to use spray. When I receive a new plant, I spray each leaf, then wipe all the nooks and crannies using a microfiber glove. Every other month, I give the leaves a quick re-spray so any new growth is treated

[@eunoiaplanter]

So nice to see how full your Hoya bella is 😍 the cutting I got from you is potted up now and doing so well!

[@lindaleef]

Hey Claire! I use rope type hangers for some of my Hoya like you have and I trellis my Hoyas up the ropes. My Chelsea is loving it! Just another option. Keep the videos coming!

[@neutronshiva2498]

Cool setup with that dasyantha in a shallow jar. Looks cute.

[@laceyerickson1262]

Yaaay!!! Newly posted and hoyas are amazing 💜

[@amh0013]

Would love a video on flat mites! I think that may be my current plague and I don’t know how to get rid of them!! Also!! I totally have a Pubicalyx Hawaiian, my new growth comes in that gorgeous purpley maroon! 😍

[@Monkey-oy1us]

Hoyas are still my favorite genus of houseplants! Love this video!!!

[@KellyNellas]

Wow, your new camera looks amazing!

[@beckythebealge]

I too have a Macrophylla Albomarginata and I love her. She was my birthday gift this January year and her growth really took off in April. She is looking magnificent now

[@mwatson4970]

Love your choices! Just extra reminder, the Mathilde didn't need more than reg humidity, and avoid mix soil or half perlite works great. Leave it alone once set up trellis, and it does great in a window.

[@OMM-kl1zu]

Hoyas!!!! Beautiful Hoyas!!!! I love how you compared your hoyas to those online. So many varieties!!! All your hoyas look so happy and healthy. Well done!!! Is Hoya - Suzy Q named after Suzy Quatro. If yes, Cool!!! 😎

[@charleeharmoney1991]

Would love a video on how you’ve been propagating your Hoya. I recently got a Hoya Matilde splash and a Wilber graves and I’m terrified of trying to cut and propagate them. I don’t want to end up killing the whole plant

[@marievojtova4982]

I have my hoya mathilde on a trelis in the window sill and it is the easiest plant. I own her for about 6 moths and it flowered already and when I bought her, she had almost no roots. So I think it will do amazing things for you. ☺

[@zerpentinefire]

My Carnosas has soft and fuzzy tendrils too.. They're dark maroon brown in color and the fuzz goes away as it's hardening off. :) Beautiful Hoyas you've got! ✨✨👌🏻👌🏻

[@tarantellalarouge7632]

I love the Hoya retusa, it looks like little green fireworks on my window, it is such an easy trailing plant, It is growing easily and had no issue so far.....

[@melissatitus2271]

I loved seeing all the Hoyas and noticed that I have several of the ones you mentioned. Definitely give your black margin more light and you may notice more consistent growth as well as the return of the black margin. Mine loves its west facing window, trellis and stakes.

[@vivnightingale]

Lovely hour of hoya deliciousness, thank you! I've recently caught the hoya bug hard and got a bit of a cuttings haul. The caudata sumatra was one of them and its the one I'm most nervous about! Its currently in my cabinet where other hoyas are doing well so 🤞

[@michellewalker6532]

I have most of these as well. Added a few to my wishlist. But almost all cuttings. Just starting to take off!!! ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

[@Xtremeraverbaby87]

Lovely long hoya video 😍 So my fav's from your collection are your hoya sarawak and your hoya Wilbur graves, but they're out of my price range/very hard to get hold of so I just ordered a hoya macrophyla variegata cutting as yours looked so pretty 😁

[@KC-gj4bi]

I just ordered a Sarawak from a small plant business in California, not sure where your located but is was $35 and I have 3 separate cuttings in it ❤ CaliplantCo is her plant company name and her plants mailed in superb condition !!

[@bevwootton4185]

Absolutely love the albomarginatas, Glabra, sarawaks! I started out loving the small leaves but now the big leaved ones steal my heart.

[@jeaniejean8200]

The difference between a hoya pubicalyx and a Royal Hawaiian purple is the bloom not the leaves. The Hawaiian purple has purple flowers 😉 I have two "non" Hawaiian and my new leaves come in a deep purple maroon color like yours... just an fyi😊 also, light levels can affect the bloom color, so maybe the plant you showed with different flower colors has different light on different parts. If you, look it up, hoya macrophylla has been re-classed as lattifolia. Maybe this will help you research yours more effectively? You have some gorgeous hoyas, thanks for sharing ❤

[@Purpletubs]

You have such beautiful plants! Do you have a video on how you care for your plants in semi hydro?

[@PlantyTiff]

Major Hoya head here 😂 loved this video ❤ and my favorite hoyas in my collection currently have to be my Sarawak and my Obovata

[@Katiehaymond]

I’m definitely in my Hoya era right now! Love, love them! With the Khroniana Super Silver, definitely treat for pests but maybe it’s not getting enough water? I would try putting in semi hydro and pop it in a higher humidity situation until it bounces back, obviously if pests aren’t the issue! I’ve had to do this with a few of my Hoya when they started looking kind of shriveled and dehydrated like that

[@chelleybellee2012]

I just love your videos! I have now started a Hoya obsession bc of u! 😂 I only had one, which is the Hoya queen. Love her ❤ I am now getting soon the Hoya rope and the crinkle 😊🪴🌱

[@annah3563]

Love all your hoyas 🌱🪴 I've also was heaving problems with my bella getting dehydrated and sad it turned out the rots where not existing any more 😢 I suspect a dry rot so I took lots of cuttings and trying to reroot , good luck with your xx

[@toritaunton1617]

Love your hoyas as I said to you before you tempted me get my first few a few more added to the list now x

[@dora9368]

I love all your hoyas. It's hard to pick a favorite 🌷💐🌹🌼

[@annemariekoppelaar-passiev5771]

I am just wondering: aren’t there any beneficial mites or bugs to use against flat mites and mealy bugs? The beneficials against thrips work amazing for me 🤓

[@dora9368]

Such pretty plants 🌱💚🌿

[@jetterasmussen6577]

46:27 I had a Hindu Rope that looked like that. When I repotted it, it bounced right back. I think that the roots didn’t like the original soil.

[@Aawiss]

You mention chopping and propping plants to combine them into a 'full plant' quite a lot, and I wondered if you've ever noticed that that might inhibit growth? I'm not sure if that's just a myth I've heard

[@Binnie_303]

Yay! I love when you upload! I have a question… have you heard about using liquid silica additive for plants?

[@NicoletteRoux]

Yay! A hoya video. I very much enjoyed it ❤ I have a lot of these on my wish list as well. I have 2 HUGE carnosas on my balcony, its the main one they sell at the nursery in my area. I recently found an importer of hoya so i've been making a list.

[@bigtomatoplantslover6205]

Lovely plants 🪴 My friend, thank you for good sharing 😊 Like 658

[@beckyfrichek8190]

I had to stop watching so I could talk about trellises. 😂 Here are two things I’ve done recently that I love, and that don’t look like a standard trellis: 1) I have thrifted lots of wooden and bamboo embroidery hoops of various sizes. My large carnosa is in a hanging pot. I suspended an extra large embroidery hoop halfway between the hook it’s hanging on and the pot, so that there is a floating circle all the way around the pot, and I trellised all the vines on that. I love the look of it. I have a small shepherdii in another hanging pot, and I just rested a smaller embroidery hoop on the soil of the pot so the circle hangs primarily below the pot. That one also looks so good to me. The long leaves dangling down give it an almost dripping effect, like I painted the circle with a brush that I hadn’t dabbed off properly, and so there are little rivulets of paint all around. 2) I placed my large pubicalyx pot in one of the wire baskets that are meant to hang outside with a moss liner and wound the tendrils around the different spokes of the basket. I’ve had That basket for a while to try using as a trellis, but it took me a long time to figure out exactly how I wanted to use it. But I love it! It creates kind of a whirlwind effect around the pot. Something I intend to to in the future when some of my newer hoya are ready for trellises is to put them on some gnarly branches and pieces of driftwood I have. I’m really looking forward to that.

[@teaandleaves]

I'm being won over - I thought i didn't appreciate Hoyas as a genus because I'd only seen ones that looked really dry or matt but these all look so lush and shiny. I think I will be embracing some to try

[@jude1515]

They are all beautiful!

[@mirra681]

I might have to buy more hoyas now... 💸😍

[@Serepin]

I knew this day would come!!

[@debbiecampbell3260]

She Claire, I love your videos! I was just today gifted a ton of rather large cuttings of different Hoyas! I am on the mission to figure out what they are. I was told, but they weren’t labeled. I am a Hoya new by, please wish me luck!!!!

[@marionschwitzner8013]

The planthobby started with syngonium because they are beautiful and grow so easy. But after several thrips attacks the anthuriums are now favourites. Never had any pests on them and such stunning leaves.

[@Caseydesiree]

Hi! I have the variegated Hoya Macrophila, it’s in a filtered window. The leaves get absolutely HUGE! I have leaves the size of my hand. It is root bound and doing well like that. I also put it in a terracotta pot.

[@beatatofil5925]

[@bwild14]

Do you grow your plants in plastic cups? How do you add holes? Your collection is exquisite and your taste is as well! 💚

[@carolynfinn-fleming8032]

Love your hoyas!! I have a lot of the same hoyas and I love them. I really want a bella and a elliptica!! Right now I am loving my retusa and it's cute little blooms also I think the fishtail is amazing.

[@qtleaves6830]

anti clockwise from the front of the plant or from the back? and how does the plant know which side is the right side?

[@tessie7e777]

I twist my mind around every time I’m trellising. From the TOP is the answer. And plants do sense gravity, so it actually makes sense. Hope that helps.

[@vana2113]

Me casually checking a size of my hand everytime Claire compares hers hand to a size of the leaf :D

[@thelioness3305]

Oh my Hoya's are a magnet for Mellies. I do not really care for them. They are stringy and grow so slow. Great job on keeping your healthy! Yours looks great. A BOBBY POT lol

[@TheC3.]

I wonder why Suzy Q is wound clockwise around the pole. Did you not say they need to go anti-clockwise? PS, do get the variegated Burtonii sp. aff. They are cute!

[@annemariekoppelaar-passiev5771]

I think the camera mirrors the view. In another shot it’s the other way around

[@saylorsoul]

You should listen to the let’s talk Hoya podcast it answers all your questions about Hoya krohiana/lacunosa. It’s actually very complicated and you cant necessarily tell by leaf shape 😂

Hey Claire, amazing hoya collection! I also love hoya❤ where do you buy your hoya from? (I'm also in the UK) thanks 😊

[@tubegoob1]

After seeing your video and doing a quick search, I think most of my Krohnianas are actually Lacunosas. They were sold as Krohnianas.

I would check the roots of that lacunosa. It's thirsty but can't take the water. Probably root rot.

[@lavernablack1950]

I have a Hoya that I have no idea what it is. If I send you pictures on insta do you think you and the community could help me out...?

Bright indirect light. Mine likes to be slightly rootbound. I frequently forget to water it so maybe once every week or so?

[@allonewordcaps]

@@jcb5280 thank you. I have been waiting for it to dry out between watering. I tend to overwater. So I’m trying to avoid that. Thank you for the tips. I think it needs more light than I have it in right now. I just don’t want to stress sun burn it.

The super silver krohniana can be difficult. It likes more moist substrate, high light and hot humid conditions. I don’t grow mine in soil. It is in perlite/ vermiculite substrate but might do well in pon for you. The way it looks tell me it may have some root rot so I would inspect the roots. I hope it will do better for you.

Amazing Hoya collection. The globulosa i love it was on a hunt for it for ages. And I happen to met a planty friend who was getting rid of it. Got it as a two leaf cutting didn’t do anything for a year and this summer just burst with many new leaves. Which i was so happy about i think it was being neglected before. The Hoya Obovata Variegated i think i got a bad cutting didn’t do well and kept giving me wonky new leaves and variegations didn’t stay. The Hoya Wayetti variegated i had no luck with that one leaves kept staying limp and then just kinda shrivelled and died. I do want to own the Kentiana instead which is more pink in colour. Wilbur graves still want to own one with lots of silvery variegations. Hoya Mathilde is a cute one the splash one is even more amazing. Is such a fast growing. Hoys Krinkle 8 is s good with i love it looks like it has abs. Hoya Krimson Princess is my favourite. There are more good ones still you should get.

Your Lacunosa Supereskimo looks a bit thirsty. Lacunosas like slightly more water than other hoyas. I would bottom-water it at least once so that she has a good drink. Unles you've checked with your finger and the soil is moist.
