I LOVE HOYAS! I have at least 20 or 25! I remember when I first started watching your channel, you were in that stage of not really liking Hoyas a whole lot. I was surprised, but completely happy to see this pop-up!

[@marcelagarnica7076]

Hoyas are my absolute favorite genus. I have about 70-80 of them and counting 😅

[@EMuro-wu7uy]

There is an all green wayetti. It has black edges to leaves.

[@BeachKid74-ct2ob]

My oldest Hoya, I had for 5 years before he bloomed. Now he blooms all the time!

[@doriharris6930]

I have a similar wishlist for Hoya! And I just got a H. heuschkeliana variegata today!

[@mydogmyplantsandme]

The princess varies from cream to white. Mine looks like yours. That's not sunstrss, that's how the new leaves come in. A lot of the variegated ones like the Tricolor wayetti and the compacta the leaves come in with a pink hue. Your compacta is GORGEOUS! 💚

[@mydogmyplantsandme]

I'm pretty sure that the super silver and POSSIBLY, the black margins don't sunstress. There are quite a few hoyas that aren't sunstressable. I found that out the hard way too! 🤦‍♀️ Steve's Leaves and Unsolicited Plants have amazing care instructions for all of the plants they sell in the listing description and it will say if a hoya is sunstressable or not.

[@aingealtara1479]

.. I'm not a fan of Hoyas with big leaves.. Still I've got a Hoya Pubicalyx 'Silver Splash', that I love.. She is in my bedroom window, west side, and seem to enjoying it all.. The window is a wee shaded by a mosquito net, that also protect a bit from the harsh sun rays in the afternoon.. And that seems to be perfect when they don't like direct sun, but prefer semi shade.. .. My Krohniana Super Silver who was nothing but a baby, 1 inch pot, when I first got her is my absolute favorite.. She was really cute and I had her on my plant shelf in front of my garden door, west side.. Only few months later, this spring, I moved her into my bedroom window, gave her a 2 inch pot, and a hanger.. Since then she's been growing like the devil was coming to get her, and her flowers are like magic.. The sweetest scent of vanilla, not very strong, but enough to have you puzzled if it really does smell of vanilla or not.. She is absolutely adorable, only now I have to figure out how to propagate her, as she really needs a "hair cut".. I can use the cuttings to fill out the other side of the pot.. .. The genus (Hoya) was named in modern latin in honor of English gardener and botanist Thomas Hoy who lived from 1750 to 1822..

[@simonesevero6761]

Those are all beautiful!! I love your videos!

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Thank you so much!💚

[@rae3430]

your linearis makes me want one! i was lukewarm on hoyas but i recently got a carnosa cutting in a mystery box and i love it so much! i actually really enjoy the contrast of the brown stems and dark green leaves

[@ShonjiPowerOf2]

It's on my list but you might also love Hoya Bella Varigated

[@DoraTheExplora50]

Aloha 😄

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Hi!

[@susanjohnson5824]

Some Hoyas flower even when they are very small, I've had small 2 or 3 inch Hoyas bloom within 6 months of purchase. Some take forever I've had a crimson Queen and Princess for years and haven't seen any blooms same with the Publicalix. My Multiflora looks like a bush and won't stop blooming it's crazy.

[@TheC3.]

You must have the Lisa! She is so cute! Grow her around a round to keep her “small” I have several because I want to see one in every room :-) thanks for sharing

[@darthtraya8305]

I love Lisa!

[@donnabecker3969]

I have recently received some Hoya cuttings from a mystery box. Hoping they will "grow" on me ❤

[@beckythebealge]

No no no no no. Not a Hoya video😂. You are feeding my new addiction

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Sorry but not sorry? 😂

[@beckythebealge]

@@AlohaPlantLife I was at my local plant shop today and got another Hoya

[@od.vandeveer]

I found the lacunosa very easy to bloom. Within half a year of potting up some cuttings. Also a beautifull hoya multiflora that tried to bloom from the first month when still a small cutting ( first 2 peduncles failed, but is now opening 3rd one)

[@ttschrock7126]

Can you share a video with me or link one that shows what you do when you buy a plant and integrate it into your home. Your pest process, how long should we keep them quarantined, etc. I have been searching for this information. I am new to your channel and am grateful that I found you. I have subscribed to you and look forward to continue to watch your videos.

[@yourteacher458]

Hoya australis lisa is huge,mine is🌿,it tends to be very whimsical too,which means it can die overnight,just shed all her leaves

[@joanneklaus9242]

Love admiring your Curtisii! Now I’m leaning toward this one over the Krohniana.. Also your Wayetii Tricolor, another of my wishlisters, but I shied away. Good to know yours grows a bit faster than expected.😊🌿🕊️💓

[@ivanalennock6511]

You have some lovely plants❤ I have mature hoya Lisa and leaves are big, I absolutely love this hoya because is very easy and grows super fast😊

[@Wubblyt]

Hoya don’t have to be slow growers. I root in moss mixed with perlite, then transplant to tree fern fibre. The cuttings also need plenty of light (like morning sun or a growlight) and warmth. Keep the medium moist, don’t let it dry out completely. Most Hoya cuttings will start growing vines and leaves for me within a month or 2. I have put a few Hoya in a soil mixture (cocopeat/moss/perlite) they are significantly slower in otherwise the same conditions. (of course everyone has their preferred rooting method and for some moss just doesnt work)

[@leahnelson771]

Beautiful collection

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Thank you!💚

[@peggymalabuyoc9150]

Love Hoyas and love your video! 🥰

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Yay! Thank you!

[@ericapuzio7202]

I love Hoya 🥹 the Wilbur graves is my number 1 wishlist plant. Definitely get the Mathilde and the heushkeliana I have them and they are great

[@tessie7e777]

Yes, love my Mathilde!

[@AlohaPlantLife]

[@graceaxisa4213]

My Hoya Carnosa Krimson Princess looks exactly like yours. Mine has a creamy/yellowy variegation too and, as is typical of Krimson Princess', some of my leaves have reverted back to solid green. My Krimson Queen, by comparison, has more of a white variegation. I have a lacunosa too and mine has beautiful subtle dimpling on the leaves. My Australis Lisa is one of my favourites. The leaves are absolutely stunning!

[@mareshank9454]

OK, I had to purchase a couple more Hoyas. I would love one of the Linearis, I have never seen one before. Thanks for all the great content!

[@AlohaPlantLife]

You’re welcome!💚

[@mwatson4970]

Hey Andrea! I just had to break up and mini pot a Hoya compacta var. into mini pots for a plant swap last night. Loooots of work, mini roots 😅. But I had to due to that over drenched big box store soil 😂.

[@MariePotsPlants]

Oh Hoyas 💚I recently purchased a Hindu rope.. which was on my wish list for a long time! Love it! Very succulent like. I also got the wayetti variegata, beautiful! I’ve had an australis for about 9 months and it was labeled a “fast grower” and I saw nothing and suddenly this summer it absolutely took off!! It’s like doubled in size! I’ve had a tricolor for the same time and it finally has a new teeny tiny leaf ! 😂 my Hoya wishlist consists of the retusa.. however if the stems are brown like you talked about I’ll probably go linearis. Love the Hoyas! 💚💚 beautiful collection Drea!

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Thank you!💚 I’ve been contemplating adding the retusa to my list as well

[@leahnelson771]

My oldest hoya cornosa is 48 years old.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

😮

[@kmzooorchids619]

I have 2 and they are over 20 yrs old and are over 4 ft. long! The easiest plant I own, water when I remember 😊

[@dora9368]

I'm a fairly new plant 🌵 mom, and I don't have a whole lot of plants. I have several different ones, but I don't own a Hoya...yet anyway. I like the first Goya you showed.😊

[@mydogmyplantsandme]

Let the hoyas stay in the same pot until they are completely root bound. Once they're root bound, they will bloom and stay in bloom for a long time. Hoyas don't like to be repotted so you might just want to pot that linearis cutting right now. 🤣🤣

[@dora9368]

TFS😊😊😊😊

[@Serepin]

I think the point around the confusion between krohniana and lacunosa is that, rather stupidly, growers gave the krohniana common names like 'Heart-Leafed lacunosa'. There's also a lacunosa with a cultivar name 'krohniana black'. I'm not surprised people mix up these two species.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

That would definitely be a source for confusion

[@lleo9703]

I avoided the Hoya Curtisii because I erroneously thought it would behave like the “string of things” type plants, which for my environment are a total PIA. I had the opportunity to toss one in my basket and maintain the same shipping amount and am SO GLAD I did! I have it in a south facing window and it is lovely sun stressed and it doesn’t lose leaves and is one of my easiest hoyas! Drea, thanks for the Hoya video!

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Yay! You’re so welcome!💚

[@lisacockrell6830]

what is the plant grows new growth really long and never has leaves, do you ever cut them off? I love my hoyas and I want them all!

[@Declan_Moriarty]

I don't think there is an all green wayetii, only sheperdeii. I have a mature wayetii probably 4 x the size of yours in a 10.5 in hanging basket. It's huge and has layers and layers of leaves. It's goregeous! The leaves in good light develop maroon-brown leaf margins. Definitely provides much interest. The downside is the general absence of flowers but I don't even care.

[@dora9368]

I like your hat 🤠😊

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Thank you!

[@Brittany_B]

First of all...I truly don't know why I'm just now asking this and not sure if I missed the answer on another video...where did the name "Aloha Plant Life" come from? You said something about you should know a name or something because of the name of your channel or something. Secondly, I had the Australis Lisa (it didn't ship well so I only had it briefly) but I also do have and have had for a while, the green form Australis. To me, the leaves remind me a lot of a Pepperomia Obtusifolia in shape and size. I know a much more mature P.O. can get much larger leaves but if you've seen one in say a 4inch pot, those are the size leaves I'm referring to. Thirdly, my Princess doesn't have huge leaves...they're pretty small in my opinion and has smaller than the leaves of my queen...but I feel like it could be a genetics thing that can vary plant to plant. Next, I had the Callistophylla on my wish list for a while and finally got it earlier this year. I absolutely LOVE it! That said, I don't have a problem with larger leaves on hoyas and I love its prehistoric look and super veiny-ness. Another hoya that I got earlier this year is the Parasitica Black Margin. I loooooove this thing! It grows like crazy! It gets a black margin on the outer edge if it gets enough light and it is super veiny and has vein "abs" lol. The leaves aren't huge and I don't think they get super huge but mine isn't super mature so I can't say for sure. Also, my Pubicaliyx gets super splashy when it's getting decent lighting while a new leaf is coming in. Mine sun stresses to a pink on the splashy spots. Lastly, girl! The Wilbur Graves is sooo on my wish list too! Thanks for another lovely video

[@AlohaPlantLife]

I can’t stop thinking about the Wilbur Graves since making this video lol. I may have to see if I can find one for a descent price from someone around here. Here’s the video where I explain the Aloha Plant Life name: Chatty Repot with Me | Get to know me and why I started this channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKqZpmqVjdytask

[@mamabear9389]

I recently got a Hoya Carnosa Crimson Princess. I have it a couple feet from a south window. Not sure if that is too much light but looking good so far. I was wondering where you have yours.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Mine is also in a southern facing window💚

[@mamabear9389]

@AlohaPlantLife great. I have mostly southern windows so glad to hear it! The windows are designed with a properly sized overhang so that direct sun comes in during the winter but not in summer when the sun is high.

[@lucyloo8965]

it is my understanding that tricolor and crimson princess are the same plant just different names, but crimson queen is different.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

💯

[@lindaleef]

Question I got a bunch of wayetiii cuttings and put them in a moss prop box. Is that a mistake? They are in a cabinet as well. There were lots of dry aerial roots I’m hoping do something. The stems are very skinny, brown and dry. If any of this makes sense. Any tips? Just wait patiently perhaps for progress?

[@AlohaPlantLife]

I’ve personally never propagated them that way but I know other people who do. If you’re worried about it maybe move some of them to water as a back up

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

I think it's pronounced Hoysh-kay-lee-awnah. I've sung lots of Latin in choirs.😅 I'm a native Dutch (Flemish variant) speaker, and I also speak French and German. The first part of the name seems German in origin to me, and that's how they'd pronounce it. So I might not be correct when it comes to American English pronunciation.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

It’s still probably better than my attempts at pronouncing it lol

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

@@AlohaPlantLife we all have our strengths, although I find that your pronunciation is quite good. You are doing it on camera, after all. I'm in awe of your overall presentation in these videos.

[@cindywannamaker5299]

I'm not a huge hoya fan. I have a Compacta and Crimson Queen. Just bought a Wayetii. We must have the same taste in plants! I want a Linearus but am having a hard time finding one right now😮

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Around here the linearis randomly pop up in stores in the spring very briefly and then poof they’re gone until the next spring

[@cindywannamaker5299]

@@AlohaPlantLife I kinda figured that I wouldn't find one til spring. Oh well, add it to my list that keeps growing and growing. Lol

[@mydogmyplantsandme]

I have the Lisa and the leaves do get rather large.

[@susanjohnson5824]

Yes bigger than the Crimson Queen or Princess but the variegation is beautiful.

[@mydogmyplantsandme]

I was saying that the Lisa can get rather large leaves, but yes, bigger than the princess. I believe my Lisa's leaves are also bigger than my Queen's leaves as well.

[@ShonjiPowerOf2]

Is the Khroniana silver and super silver the same? I have a black and she's amazing. Also the princess leaves won't get bigger. You won't Luke the queen lol, the princess is honestly favorite of the two even though is my princess

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Supposedly the super silver is more silver than the one just labeled silver but who knows if that’s actually true

[@mamabear9389]

I also have the black and it grows like crazy.

[@mydogmyplantsandme]

The publicallix grows FAST! That Wilbur Graves is a Russia.

[@kellypearsall4540]

I’m curious where you purchase your Hoyas from, local or online? I can never find such healthy plants like you have. Can you recommend starting with a particular size plant, that will give a better shot of successfully growing at home? Thanks so much😊

[@susanjohnson5824]

I've had great luck buying from Steves Leaves the Hoyas aren't very big but they will grow and I've never received any with pests.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

I bought all of mine locally at various different stores. None of them were shipped. They’ve all done well for me, but like I said in the video, some just grow faster than others. When it comes to small leaf Hoya, I feel like they start to grow more quickly than the larger leaf ones, so I am ok buying those as like 4 inch plants, but for the ones that are slightly larger leafed too very large leafed, I personally think it would be best to start with at least a 6 inch plant.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Steve’s leaves definitely a good place to buy from

[@mamabear9389]

I have a small carnosa compacta all green and it appears to never grow!

[@AlohaPlantLife]

They are definitely slow to start growing!

[@dora9368]

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Aloha!

[@EMuro-wu7uy]

I struggle with hoyas. I like them, but they are so temperamental

[@dora9368]

Should I get a Hoya? If so, which one is best for a new plant mom?

[@AlohaPlantLife]

I would recommend the curtisii for your first Hoya assuming you like the look of it💚

[@dora9368]

Is a pepperomia hope a hoya?

[@KC-gj4bi]

Peperomia hope is a Peperomia

[@walle5667]

Your bloom theory is not quite correct. Carnosas do indeed bloom after a few years and usually they need lots of light for that. But other hoya bloom much sooner. Caudata, Soidaoensis, Hanhiae, Mindorensis, Erythrina, Wayettii, all Khroniana and Lacunosa types, Memoria, Bella and Lockii all bloomed for me within the first year.

[@pudik2008]

Loved all your Hoya’s. I didn’t like them at first but now I’m hooked.I have a green Compactor and yes it’s so slow. Wilbur Graves is also on my wishlist.. 🪴👌🏻 Natalie
