UNBOXING RARE HOYAS 😮💚 3 Month Growth Update | Transferring to LECA 😍

[@emilykarrh421]

Just wanted to say that I LOVE this type of video where you show us progress over time in one focused video! I so appreciate that you have the patience to film and put your videos together this way. Thanks for what you do and for the enthusiasm you have while you do it :)

[@kevin.]

Aw thanks Emily ☺️💚 I like these videos too! I'm glad you liked it 🙂

[@idajoh09]

Me too, have resently found your Chanel and love all the videos i've seen😊 Thank you for all hours hard work for us 😊

[@Devilrabbit17]

It’s incredible that you had this much of growth within 3 months!

[@katiegrube3280]

Love this type of video! I’m not patient enough to wait for updates so I LOVE that it was all in one video lol

[@kevin.]

Haha right? I'm the same. I started filming a bunch but they won't be ready till the fall 😂😅

[@jmfrunner]

I love watching these. Your excitement is contagious and it is so much fun to watch the progress of your plants!

[@Plantlady-bf6cq]

Wow!! You are a hoya whisperer I swear! Impressive growth!

[@Lorenmcdee]

I've watched this three times in a row now and I've been taking notes on the ones I like 🤣

[@PetraEmmy]

Wow! Those are some beautiful hoyas! Too expensive for me but I will enjoy watching yours grow.

[@kevin.]

Haha omg that's why I was so worried 😂 thankfully they don't hate me haha 💚

[@viktimm333]

Just found your channel now and LOL I just love the way you react to those baby plants while unboxing, it's so real and relatable - exactly how I felt when I unboxed my first ever hoya mail just recently. I'm just now getting into this hobby... and I could just keep watching these videos 😁

[@EY77724]

IN LOVE WITH YOUR PROGRESS VIDEO!!!❤

[@sltal53]

I just discussed. I love the way you show updated over time. Such a unique viewpoint that is very valuable. Amazing growth.

[@anniesaddictions]

Kevin, it’s both light and nutrition. And this happens majority that has variegation or white in them. But overall, you are a great plant parent 🍀

[@damarisvega865]

How!!!!! You are the definition a plant whisperer. I can even get my Lisa to grow more than 2 leaves in 2 months

[@ms.arrowhead]

These are the best types of videos! Updates!!! Always watch videos with updates. Really helps to see what the plants can look like or what struggles that can come with time and also so exciting to see the growth. Please keep it up! You're the best, kind greetings from Sweden!

[@glist_gloom]

This is the first video I've watched of yours, and I subscribed! You are so knowledgeable and have relaxing energy! I came for the New Guinea Ghost, and stayed for your personality 🙂

[@TheHawaiianPanda1]

So I use your same nutrient solution with my Hoyas in pon as well, and they absolutely explode with growth too. Highly recommend.

[@asong222]

Thanks Kevin for a progress video. Love these!

[@lisaanglim9588]

The look on your face every time you drop leca on the floor slays me.

[@mindfulmadeline]

I am new to Hoyas, i have a few and most of them are in pon, the rest in soil. I am seriously considering trying Leca now after watching your insane growth over the last few months! Especially your new guinea ghost. I just got one a couple weeks ago, even tho its been watered and the roots look just fine, it seems to be getting dehydrated! Oldest leaves are very bendy and Im starting to see wrinkles 😢 I’m gonna let it be for now. Since i just transferred it to pon a few days ago from the sphagnum it came in. So hopefully it acclimates. Amazing you put it so close to the grow light! I’m gonna give that a try too…

[@mommayanna]

I just ordered a New Guinea ghost and can’t wait to get it after watching this video! Thank you!

[@sltal53]

Can you do a video on Hoyas that don’t mind growing roots into the reservoir and the one that don’t. How do you manage the Hoyas that don’t like their roots in water.. do you repot or cut them off or not allow the bottom of the pot sit in the reservoir?

[@Maria-yg3kj]

Wow l super love your frames Beatles Records in the background! Goals!

[@sherryporsch9349]

Amazing Hoyas an growth!! 💚😍 Keeping this video for wishlist Hoyas 😁

[@kevin.]

Thanks Sherry 😊 haha there are a lot of good ones 🤩💚

[@melrussell7830]

Wow thank you so much Kevin… Such an interesting video to see the growth on your lovely Hoya’s. I have just ordered a Hoya nicholsoniae New Guinea ghost and hopefully it will be ok, as it’s cold here in the UK !

[@jungleflowerscanada5384]

Ok, don't know how I missed thus video, amazing, I kinda feel bad because I could gave given you cuttings of a few of these. Time just leaves us. Happy for you, and if course, amazing growth. 💚💚💚

[@lyg9683]

Amazing! I love how excited you are about your plants.

[@Dee97]

That New Guinea ghost though 😍🥹 And allllllll that growth!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kevin.]

RIGHTTT LIKE WHAT 😅💚

[@Lorenmcdee]

Dang it's 5am and I'm feeding my newborn. I was feeling frustrated and hit refresh and there you! Perfect timing and I love your videos

[@kevin.]

Awww I hope everything is going okay. Thank you for watching 🥰💚

[@Lorenmcdee]

@@kevin. it's going pretty well thanks! I've never seen that red Hoya before. I'm absolutely in love. That's my new favorite and I totally want one.

[@randomstoner916]

Ayo Kevin! I give you a loooot of support from France! You have actually convinced me to buy Hoyas x) indeed I was not really into it but watching your journey with those plants is insane. I may take one soon Kisses from Lyon! 😘

[@maiyeng]

Those Hoyas grew so well in such short time.

[@robinhavens695]

I LOVE your hoya videos... actually, I love all of your videos!!!💚😻💚

[@IeatzSkittles]

Hi! I just wanted to offer solace about the Hoya Mathilde splash 😁 mine sent off many ‘normal’ mathilde stems for a while as well until, like yours, it began branching from the main splash stem. Since then, all leaves from that branch has been super splashy! So it appears this may be normal to the adjustment period and yours is doing the same. Best of luck!

[@femmebitale]

ugh so happy to creep on your silver hoyas and see how they're doing for you. i just picked up a silver dollar but passed on the NGG because it was significantly more expensive. gunung gadig is NEXT on my wishlist though. also - if you don't have one and you end up loving these bbs, you NEED to get a crassipeteola splash if you find one. by far my most beautiful silvery hoya and they get exponentially more beautiful as the leaves size up - and you'll be able to size up leaves so much faster than i can with your environment.

[@kevin.]

Omg amazing choice with the silver dollar 👏 also why is the NGG so pricey? It grows so fast! And yes I have a crassi splash 🤩 she's still a baby but I love her so much.

[@littlechickenfarm2436]

I am watching this while I am waiting for my new Hoyas to grow! I LOVE this video because I always want to see the progress and wow, you had some incredible growth!!

[@muffinwar1959]

Can you make a video about your grow lights and your set up with them? Thank you!!!

[@zandrawostel3765]

WOW! I'm floored with the growth you are having with your hoyas. I've been changing mine over to pon but now I'm reconsidering leca. Thank you for the video showing the growth of each hoya over a period of time.

[@TangoR3D]

aaaaand insularis is now on my wishlist. also i was OBSESSED with the popcorn flavored jelly bean as a child!

[@kevin.]

The insularis is so FUNNY. LOVE HER. and yes a approve of the butter popcorn 🍿

[@ThomasJohansen]

Thanks for a fun and interesting 3months update. I have an archiboldiana in pon and it growing very slowly as well. Got it from thailand and when unboxing it was nearly dried out. I managed to save a couple of leafs nad it stood still for many months. The first new growth tendril grew long but then died off. Now there are 2 new leafs coming out. So crossing my fingers here for it to start thriving. 💚

[@juliedavison-white1496]

I so love the way you say ya all - got to be an American slang thing, am I right? You get so excited, just love your excitement. Thanks for sharing.

[@andreaseymour6517]

This video was so good! I love seeing the progress, especially with your Hoyas! Thank you!!!

[@QuirkyLemon]

!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kevin!!! Holy moly this is AMAZING growth for 3 months! My GG from Hoya Etc bloomed in the first three months but no new growth yet. I cannot get over the silver dollar. Actually, need to rewatch this a few times to soak in the full glory of all of them. I'm about to post 3 month update on my Polyneura Albo (also from Cori) and if you ever consider a trade for a cut of your silver dollar please keep me in mind. This video absolutely made my day. Hope you know how awesome you are.

[@kevin.]

Haha aw thanks ☺️💚. Omg twins I'm actually posting a growth update of my Polyneura (outer variegated) next week!

[@yattydiaz3414]

Love love them all. ❤️ love your videos Kevin and all the great information you provide. Thank you 😊

[@marsf4883]

Wow, love these kinda videos so much. You are the hoya whisperer, seriously. My hoyas grow super slow, though I am not really fertilizing them lol. It’s okay though, I don’t mind them tiny for now haha. Love juicy pear too, that has been my fave since I was a kid! So good and juicy :P

[@teddyruxbin9300]

My favorite Jelly Belly is the green pear too! Also close second is the popcorn! 🍐 & 🍿

[@kevin.]

Omg both amazing choices!!! 💚

[@noradaroy3269]

Wow i this video is beautiful, you showed the progress of the plants right from the time you unboxed them.Beautiful Hoyas .❤️ Thank you very much . Kevin you said if the Hoyas are still young they don’t really need fertilizers. When do you think they should start getting fertilizers then , about how many months should they be to start receiving nutrients? So maybe that’s the reason why my 2 young Hoyas died because i was giving them nutrients the very first time i received them and they were young!

[@plantstarrella]

The growth! 😃 These videos are so satisfying! Thanks for all the work, time and documentation put into producing them!

[@vickya.713]

"Y'all are shady..." LOL LAUGHED OUT LOUD LITERALLY! you have a lot of patience to document the progress of a plant, I'm very grateful! I would like to see a video of how you install the sunblaster grow light, I just got one!

[@veronicaglover5693]

Your plants are beautiful. Can you do a video talking about your nutrient solution for each type of plant and how you do them. Like for this do you mix everything together? It seems like a lot of different things in the water. I don’t want to kill my hoyas, but I would love for them to look as beautiful as yours!

[@mwoods4608]

can you make a video about your fertilizer method?? how do you mix all of that up??

[@marlenealonzo]

I love these progress video and please dont ever stop!! Your videos have helped me transition to leca and my plants are thriving and these progress videos give me more confidence to keep going!

[@Amandasplants]

Love this thanks Kevin 😊 so jelly beautiful Hoya 😍

[@lindasimmons2197]

Yeeeeessssssss LOVE LOVE LOVE update videos... especially yours!! All your plants are amazing and so beautiful. Looking forward to the next video 😊

[@dtsolidum]

Can’t wait for the next update! Love seeing these progress videos!!!

[@thejoyofplants1318]

love this kinds of videos!!! i just order all the products 😂! hope they work for me! i’m growing all hoyas in chunky mix!

[@laralouissabaoy9329]

You're just so amazing! I sure could not get that much growth in 3 mos!🤩

[@kevin.]

Thanks Lara 😊💚 you totally could! I believe in you ☺️

[@lisaanglim9588]

Your Hoyas are beautiful. All of them. They have grown so much.

[@baysickboyel]

Idk man. You make the best plant videos in terms of knowledge, plant variety, and personality, but that's just me.

[@monicajimenez4797]

I was having a pretty bad day and you totally bring a smile to me. Blessings to you and thank you 😊 🙏 ❤️

[@iiTsaFantasy]

i know you previously said your hoya videos do the worst, but i love your hoya videos! these progress videos are also amazing, especially when people question leca/pon growth

[@dannera131]

Best start to a Monday!

[@kevin.]

Aw thanks Alicia 🥰 I hope you have good Monday 💚

[@toniasfusion2797]

Wonderful and beautiful hoyas collections

[@tonybezanson9625]

Lol, lay a towel or something underneath you, to muffle the leca drops. My Mathilde is blooming right now :)

Loved this!! I need to get sun blaster grow lights.

I've had a lot of luck! With hoyas specifically

You crack me up. Every video you drop leca. Lol. Hope you find them on floor. Lol. Awesome video

[@barbaraaddon6418]

What happened to the plants in Pon? Love your videos!!

[@walle5667]

Loved the video, very interesting. You have beautiful hoya :)

[@maryannamuller]

Great video. Thank you. I have a question, though. Is there a video in which you explain how you water your hoya in leca? Mine won't grow whether it's leca or pon. I guess I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what. I'd be grateful for some advice.

[@Tjsreptileworld]

Hoyas are so awesome they are beautiful plants

[@kevin.]

Aw right? I agree 😊

[@Shopgirl2731]

Thanks for sharing, I def needed a smile today

[@kevin.]

Aw! Hope everything is going okay ☺️💚

[@pamperedreality]

your hoyas grow so fast and are always so stunning! keep these before / after videos coming! out of curiosity, what do you do when the roots grow into the reservoir and cause the plant to decline? do you just cut them? also why do you say leca plants get more nutrients than pon?

[@Dieppaloveplants]

when u have a chance can u do a care hoya video pleaseeee lol i can believe how ur hoyas grows u have that green thumb as soon ur new plant see u they love u 💚💚💚💚

[@MsAjc1993]

Amazing growth!

[@kevin.]

Aw thank you! 💚

[@Micmac24]

Wow! I guess I better try Leca!

[@AquarianNae006]

OMG Kevin I love your videos!! Always have time for anything Hoya related. Also, have you ever done a video on the type of nutrient solution you use or your recipe for the amazing growth on your plants? Can you please indulge me and share your secrets 🙂

[@moonchildnation9532]

Like wildfern i love the silvery leaves i love the 3 silvery hoya and the insularis really funny haha.. i 3months are really quick to have that lush hoyas .nice !!

[@kevin.]

Omg wildfern 💚 and yes silver hoyas are everything 🤩

[@robynross8524]

how did you get your ganug gading to stress so beautifully? I Love you and your content!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@EverythingPlants]

The hoya hole 🕳 is real!!! You can't have or buy just one lol

[@kevin.]

Hahahaha NEVER 🤣

[@jopiang]

Wow.. Hoya Gunung Gading is from where im from (Sarawak, Borneo) and i had never seen those. Gading National Park is about 1.5hrs drive from town, so not a place to drive to often 😂

[@kevin.]

Oh interesting! I wonder where they're hiding 😂

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

Lovely video Kevin, loved it! Your new hoyas are all stunning! I found hoya grows well in leca for me too , but I have some in soil mixes. I have a question regarding not to trellis the hoyas, what will you do once there are lots of tendrils and it grows like crazy and messy?

[@nhuddy]

Love all your videos!!! Do you mind making a video about your beneficial mites??

[@kevin.]

Thanks! I do want to but I still feel like I'm not totally knowledgeable about them. I'll do more research 😊💚

[@nhuddy]

@@kevin. awesome!! Can't wait!!!!!!!!

[@passionateplantperson]

Amazing progress! I really appreciate progress videos. They are very informative. Out of curiosity, did you start with a half dilution nutrient solution? Thank you Kevin!

[@1son3daughters]

I need your exact recipe for the plant growth on these plants!! Lighting, nutrients, 4 leaf clovers, voodoo, sugar and spice and everything nice etc what it is, I need it!

[@1son3daughters]

This is what I get for commenting before finishing the video🤦🏽‍♀️ You pretty much ended with the recipe. Thank you

[@madelaine3209]

Where did you purchase the plants?Thank you.

[@Dieppaloveplants]

i have 2 buckets of lechuza that have to prewash i been using my new lechuza lol been to lazy to boil water 😁

[@LisaattheEdge]

Love this video ❤️ I’ve just ordered some Hoyas and can’t wait until they arrive. Do you leave the roots to grow in to the reservoir or would you repot them at that point?

[@kokoboutiquejapan]

i love Hoya so cute

[@Miles_Hoffman]

Hey thanks for sharing a list of Hoya I need to acquire 💚😎💚

[@hollypuckett3931]

Your plant DOES look like juicy pear Jelly Bellies! Incidentally, they’re my favorite flavor as well. Hands down, no contest, the BEST flavor

OMG RIGHT. The 👏 best 👏ever 💚

We’re they rooted or just cuttings. I prefer with roots.

LOLOLOL TOO MUCH?! 🤣💚

[@natashaoreilly7072]

@@kevin. NEVER!! 🤣

[@inos3697]

Omg I love this video! Um I’ve had A few Hoyas and they no way grow this fast. When you say you change the nutrient solution every couple of weeks, does that mean you rinse out the reservoir and pour in (over on the leca)the new solution? I know that in my case it’s different because all my Hoyas are outside, but I might experiment and put a couple under grow light and inside. Thanks Kevin.

[@kevin.]

Yes! I change the nutrient reservoir every 2 weeks ☺️ so I empty whatever is left of the old reservoir, clean it out, then add a new one

[@arie_rogers87]

I am always in awe of your plants. The amount of growth you achieve is out of this world. I have like 3 hoya. One ive had for years and it doesnt do anything lmao 🤣 maybe i have to switch it to leca idk but wowsers!!!!

[@magdalenawalton1215]

I know right. I think I’m going to switch to hydro and buy all the plant food he uses.

[@femmebitale]

living in a glass walled condo with southern exposure probably helps a lot too haha. he has such an ideal environment i would never leave!

[@dorianepellorce2181]

Regarding hoya nova ghost, Unsolicited plant talks says : Care Note: I have found that bright light turns this plant quite ugly, so prioritize shade for this Hoya Maybe why yours is unhappy 😉

[@TheOlsenkay]

Hi, is it possible to send you a propagation station which i do myself as a present?

[@magdalenawalton1215]

How the hell you do that? I have my Hoyas outdoors in Florida. They have, light, heat and humidity and they don’t grow so fast 😩

[@hollypuckett3931]

Fertilizer 🙂

[@kevin.]

Oh no!! I'm not sure. Mine get about 16 hours of light under the growlights. Maybe that's a factor? Or nutrients and aeration around the roots? 💚
