Pretty sure this is the most helpful KZbin plant video I’ve ever watched. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. THANK YOU!!

[@kazzbird24]

Please do a greenhouse tour! Even if its 2hrs long, ill watch it 😁

[@hollyhayden5971]

"If you can't decide, grow two plants." Yes please!

[@unsolicitedplanttalks]

I just wanted to say thank you all for all of your support and for taking the time to watch my video! If you haven't already, give my other video a watch for some more info on trellising. I've also linked my Instagram and Website in the description above :)

[@bharusiva477]

Very useful, thankyou )

[@imapurrson]

Website link not functional on 9.10.21. Is it a glitch?

[@maddylvyou]

Ok so i can not believe this was your first KZbin video, it was amazing. I honestly learned so much. Thank you so much for making a KZbin channel (now maybe i can stop rewatching your insta stories for info).

[@zenaidagonzales5253]

Very informative. Thank you so much! I learn a lot and I love all your hoyas. 💖

[@dplanthunter3189]

Honestly too much informative and original content... No KZbin video on Hoya was this much detailed and such awesome example.... Really loved it... Plz come up with much more Hoya care videos.. Also please show how to fix trellis into pot

[@meryemyanar9798]

This was the single most informative and helpful plant video I've ever watched. Thank you so much for this.

[@laurenervin1404]

I just had SO many of my questions about trellising Hoyas, and just Hoya in general, answered! THANK YOU!❤🌿🌻

[@lis0124]

So informative! Can you please make a video on sun stressing Hoya? 🙏♥️♥️

[@epasuxelar4473]

Basically just give it a lot of light lol, do it gently so the leaves don't get burned. Slowly increase the amount of light and you should be good

[@riawhetstone3725]

“I’m unsolicited plant talks for a reason. I can go on & on.” 🤣 I love your passion 😂

[@mdnitesky]

I am definitely here for some unsolicited plant talks! Thank you for always being willing to share your tips and tricks! 💚

[@JP-it3jg]

You're a natural! Love it, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@thebeauceronboys9397]

Yeeeeesss!! Blabber on girl!!

[@jamiandrews2697]

This is by far the MOST INFORMATIVE video regarding trellising Hoya!! I learned so much! I can’t thank you enough!

[@Champagnemaami]

You are the sweetest for answering my nova ghost question hahah! I was in sheer panic when it “bled” a little while trellising but you definitely provided a sense of relief for me. Please keep the videos coming because they’re so insightful! Thank you so much for taking the time to do them as well, you’re amazing 👑

[@victorinaalegria8398]

Great idea in having your own KZbin channel. You are a natural in front of the camera. The video was very informative. 👍

[@fenjustfen4934]

I am so glad you've decided to start youtube! I was so sad to see the end of Legend of Monstera's series - I could look at your gorgeous plants and soak up your knowledge all day.

[@Merevin-travel-blog]

Wonderful and informative video! Thank you April, it is so nice to get detailed information from such an expert. I could listen to you talk about hoyas for hours!

[@annanathan648]

This is so good! Thank you for taking the KZbin plunge and being so generous with your time and knowledge. Your explanations and specifics are so helpful for getting things right the first time when trying things at home, and showing examples are perfect for visual learners! Keep them coming, you’re doing great!🌱💕

[@omaam1005]

Princess, you were a blessing. Thank you for sharing. Remember, practice MAKES PERFECT, meaning you will naturally better your craft of video as you continue doing it. So just focus on doing. All WILL fall into place.

[@yuritzyhernandez9435]

Please do a video on your personal collection! 🙏 I bet it is out of this world 😍

[@tracyr9408]

I think you did awesome! Don't care a thing, I learned a lot, and I enjoy you! Keep making videos and being talkative. ✌️💚😊

[@cjs6778]

Can you do a video of you actually trellising a couple Hoyas? My long tendrils have no choice but to go upside down unless I have a massive circle trellis which i don't have room for!

[@melaniedaranciang5142]

Very informative and answered a lot of my concerns regarding trellising. Mahalo!

[@cindyvan635]

This makes so much sense!!! Thank you so much💖🌱🤗💖🌱

[@jodidelong3663]

As others have said, this may be the most useful plant video I've ever watched. To the point where I've saved it to rewatch on a regular basis. Trellising has been a bit of a mystery to me and you've been excellent at explaining. Thank you so much!

[@anitatyvm]

I think I've watched this and your second video at least 3 times each, so much great info!

[@omzaharagreene-ellis5015]

Stop apologizing you did really great. I enjoyed it. You gave me a lot of information things. I haven’t even heard before. Keep it up. Peace and blessings.

[@cheriespencer9292]

[@StrangeDisposition]

Wow so much detail 🤩! I love the explanation about how to trick them to grow upside down on the trellis! Thank you for always sharing your knowledge 💙!

[@SceneryofSage]

Yessssss! I have been waiting for this! I’m so happy you are making videos and I can’t wait to see more! 😁

[@phf3238]

I just completed my first Hoya trellising. I learned it from you. You did such a great job in your two videos about trellising that I decided to trellis my Sunrise and she looks beautiful. Thank you! ❤❤❤

[@kmtaylor18]

I am so glad to see you on KZbin, April! I love your IG and your passion and knowledge come across so strongly here! I had no idea about the tendrils dying back if you point them down. That explains a few things on some of mine - I have one with long vines I just got and I am certainly going to follow your tips when trellising it. Thank you!
