I deeply, deeply apologize for another long video. But here it is - my trellising journey and everything I learned on how to trellis Hoya in the past 5-6 years. Most of the learning was based on my mistakes so YAY! I will also show you which trellises I am currently using :) Spoiler: all super cheap.

I get it’s springtime and we’re all caring for (hopefully) growing Hoyas, but I’m going to believe this trellising video is dedicated to me and my floppy Hoya.

[@maggiechong2915]

I think maybe it’s the twining that needs to go counter clockwise. I have noticed that when my hoya twine around each other they do go counter clockwise. Where as when wrapping it around a tower trellis it might not matter.

[@Suadade1983]

I barely dabble in Hoyas and mainly watch your videos for your sparkling personality… however! Lately you, and another KZbinr, soberplantguy, have been inspiring me to keep my Hoya collection alive. Thank you. You’re an amazing person and I feel a connection to you (which is really hard to do on social media!)…. 😊

[@Planty-Mandy]

It was fun. 😊 Thanks for keeping me company while I water & repot.

[@PetraEmmy]

Ok I LoL when you said “it is statement like these where I think we need help” You are a beautiful human. And I have learned so much watching you. Have a super week!

[@melanieg.9092]

Yay! Here for these long videos ❤

[@BasiePlants]

:D I must not make a habit of this though... 🙈

[@lovesyorkies3395]

I really enjoyed this video, you’re very relatable and funny! I too look at which way my Hoya is growing and follow its lead. You can’t force it to do what you want, the plant wins….just go with it.

[@ferdisverdants]

I used to dislike that dragonfly clips, now i have lots even several package that i have yet to open 😆

[@peggymalabuyoc9150]

Thank you for this trellising fun video ! Love your channel and this video. I wish I had this video many years ago when I started my plant journey. 😊. Many thanks for all the good advice! Take care. 👌🪴🥰

[@Suadade1983]

If it’s not working… Do something else. Jeez Louise Miro, that’s great life advice. 😂 I love your channel and I love you! 🤗

[@peggyp3682]

Have you thought of using a "lazy susan" to help turn the pot while trellising?

[@Lidia-dq9cj]

I super enjoyed this video ❤I love how your English is becoming sooo American...Okie Dokie 😂😂😂😂 I love you humor...never change please 🙏 😂❤❤❤

[@laurachapin204]

I just re-trellised my Hoya elliptica as its original trellis was undersized and rotted (bamboo). What a chore. And, yes, it doesn't look very natural right now. I'm hoping it will sort itself out over time.

[@BasiePlants]

Ah, it happens all the time xD It needs to be done, but with some plants I swear they look worse after. But in most cases they fix themselves and it looks as good if not better than before! :)

[@randarooplantmom]

Thanks for making this video! I’m a fairly new collector of Hoya and have been struggling in the trellising department. This was super helpful, you’re awesome! I enjoy that you are so genuine and just be yourself. Thanks for laughs 😁

[@melodyschreiber1877]

I'm laughing out loud... my first thought was "why does he have all those calatheas??"

[@Marlur]

Always fun! Yeah I don't like trellising really lol, but I guess sometimes it must be done :P

[@ellennovak5214]

Your large leaf Hoyas are amazing! Thank you for sharing them with us. This gives us a high bar to reach for! 😮

[@amyfbowers]

I am in awe of your ability talk and maintain your train of thought while untangling that Nicholsoniae! I would be cursing and biting my tongue the whole time LOL!

[@Jadelifestyleplantenthusiast]

You have the most beautiful Hoya species 💖

[@BasiePlants]

Thank you

[@planttherapy1860]

I'm glad you addressed the counterclockwise vs. clockwise. I confuse myself when trellising 😅 I heard a seller say that it should be counterclockwise and passed that on... thanks for taking the pressure off. 😅

[@soniacosgrove]

Timely video! I struggle with trellising my Hoyas or maybe what I should be doing!

[@suvivirtanen8242]

Thank you for the long video. It was inspiring, must do some trellising in near future.

[@sheilacasper2030]

Hey Miro. Very timely video. I generally use the bamboo hoops. Since the obovada and kerri vines are so long I go horizontally up the bamboo hoop. I try to keep the vines going up and this way works better for me. I also have a pubicalyx and an australis in a macramé hanger and i attach the vines so they go up the hanger. This works, the hoyas seem happy, they can hang and it is beautiful.

[@PD-jamp]

Thank you so much!! This was just what I needed to improve my confidence.

[@margaretcalifano1617]

Thank you for the long video. With trellising, the struggle is real. 1:03:47 😂

[@emiliepulver5015]

Hoya pillows!!

[@BasiePlants]

Merch? 😂

[@amymarshall1829]

I was leaning toward the idea of switching to bamboo u-hoops, so this clinches it for me. I'm going to do it. I initially bought metal circle hoops that have sort of a branch detail in the center of them, but found out the hard way (a couple of times) that they have drawbacks. I put my Fungii on one and now she's wrapped around it about a million times. I need to re-trellis her, but I wove her through the branch detail trying to make it pretty, so will either have to lose leaves or find a way to cut her out. Not super thrilled with either option. I also tried to wrap my H. Australis Tenuipes around one and snapped the vine which splattered sap onto my window. It felt like a CSI unit should be called in to investigate my brutality. haha I think the hoops will cause less destruction and make it easier for me to re-trellis when I need to.

[@Plantlifewithnina]

Hello Mero! I use dark green plastic trellises but love the acrylic hoops just a little costly. The metal design trellises I use but both the bamboo and the metal rot off in pon pots. The bamboo looks so natural. 🪴I also make some trellises with galvanized wire.

[@drsreedevirao]

Your Hoyas are growing awesome ❤

[@susanjohnson5824]

Thank you for all the great information. I would love to know which Hoyas you have had the best success trellising. It appears that the bigger leaf Hoyas seem to need it more and ones with thick stems.

[@Howle250]

I just trellissed and combined 3 of my carnosa I made trellises from branches in my yard turned out pretty good I procrastinated too long lol

[@aliceborolien]

Thank you ❤

[@psycheready6958]

I really enjoyed watching this! I love looking at those big-leaved sexy hoyas. And also watching you problem-solve trellising was helpful for me. it is one of those things that can be SO frustrating but also SO rewarding when you finally find hte trellis that works.

[@nicoolcats]

love u icon

[@Suadade1983]

Agreed. My future self is on her own. Now is all that matters. 😂

[@K.Mar.]

Miro je taki sladak

[@benniegamali3622]

I'm trellising some baby plants soon. But getting any trellises I like is hard in my area, so I'm sort of considering using some very cool bits of wood I've brought from the forest for a couple of them. I've treated the wood and it's been sitting in my house for a few months now. But I'm still worried something might be living in there and come out to make me regret it if I put it near something that will be watered regularly 😅

[@user-ek7kd3il5m]

Hi Miro! How come you have the ÅKERBÄR Greenhouse in yellow?? I love it. Did you re-paint it or di you get different shades in your country? 💚💚

[@kristiemowry3267]

I guess you don't use hoops anymore? I have put some small leaf hoya on hoops and they can look great. They can fit on window sills that way also. Anyway, I will try just about anything.

[@BasiePlants]

I almost exclusively used hoops in this video 😅

[@Beaueim]

Could you tell me where to find those see-through pots?

[@BasiePlants]

They are made by a company called Santino :) I got them locally from a guy who imports them, but I was told they are also available on European Amazon, though I don't know that for sure as we don't have Amazon here.
