Another banger. As us young folk say. Thanks again. You are rad.

I am a habitual lurker. I think we glean the most information.

Can I share a secret? I have never….. sigh…. Produced a peduncle. Ever. Ever. Sigh.

I didn’t buy the lights, but I’m keeping them in mind… 😉 more focused on your flummoxation.

Resplendent, cute…… sh*t sandwich? I’m not sure about this… 😂

Hi Dave, have recently purchased a Sunrise and am keen to know what you think caused the root problem. 🤔

Thank you for showing us the ugly 😔 I’ve had to do this so many times because of my under watering habits causing dry rot 🥴 I missed the deal! 😩😩 awesome video though! Can’t wait to see your Sunrise thrive into another big, beautiful plant again 😍

Unfortunately they don’t ship them to Australia. Great deal though. Thank you for video. 💚🌿🪴 Natalie

Aww. I am sorry this happened 😔 Thank you for sharing these things though. Im sure you’ll have a large lush Hoya Sunrise again in no time from those cuttings! Hoya can be so resilient… About a year ago I “treated” all of the few Hoyas that I had back then for root mealies, since I found them on like half of those plants. (Sidenote: I should have just chopped off the roots as the “treatment” killed off the roots off anyway) Afterwards those still full and uncut plants were stuck into a half perlite half cocosoil mixture, I did not want bark in there as that is harder to remove from roots in case the root mealies came back. Hoya Lisa, Hoya Kerii varieties and Hoya Carnosa (princess) rerooted themselves in ambient conditions (!!!). Hoya Wayetii (inner variegated), Heushkeliana (inner variegated) and Krohniana (super silver) stayed dehydrated and unrooted for months (!!) and still came back as full plants after I cut the dead roots off stuck them in moss/perlite mix and in higher humidity. Now all 3 of those are doing well, have a good root system and even flower. Due to my bad judgement they suffered a lot but they also pulled through against all odds 🎉. Now I do not think this would work for more finicky Hoya…. And if it happened again I would take cuttings and restart a fuller plant from there. Just wanted to point out that Hoya are true survivors

I missed that deal! So so sad😢. Thanks so much for showing how to restart a Hoya. 💖

10pm central time….lights no longer on sale….sadness☹️

Great video. I just repotted a beautiful cutting and rotted all the roots off, crossing my fingers it pushes out new ones. 😅

OMG - I just bought one because of you, lol!! Ok, I'll watch and hope. - Good luck with it. I can see the future of that plant :) I appreciate the info.

❤I used your link& bought the lights. A deal thanks to you. Paying it forward sure hope you receive something from those of us that bought. On the Sunrise OMG I was really hoping you would address this as I just lost my sunrise! (1st hoya to bite the dust) & they are supposed to be easy! Why does it hit hard when we lose certain plants?😫

LOL, loved the intro!

Thanks for sharing this honest issue with plants. I've a new Ilagiorum that looked at me and laughed maniacally and promptly had 3 leaves whither when I unwrapped it nearly a month ago. The roots felt a bit rough when I repotted it, so I'm thinking dry rot. Still hopeful but skeptical as well. 😂 🇨🇦❤️

Done, paused, bought [[smiles]]

Makes me feel so much better that even you have a plant not do great. I beat myself up every time I do. I need to realize it happens. Thanks so much for sharing this

Was it dry rot vs root rot? Since the leaves were crispy lol

I did exactly what you said 😂 paused your vedio and bought the lights. Your link is for t5 lights but like you mentioned the discount is on t8 and that too on yellow lights

You've got some beautiful plants

So what happened for Pete's sake??? How sad! Lights don't show $30. Maybe I'm not doing it right.

Thank you for demystifying the light market. I dont see much information on that. Also the other products too...very helpful. And yeah I am jealous of your matilda. Mine is puny. Cute but puny.

Yes👏🏻🌱

Thanks for confirming the counterclockwise growth. I wonder why it's so.

I am all about hoyas.

We have so much in common! I prefer all green non variegated plants and I don’t like moss poles at all. If a plant needs a moss pole I won’t bother getting it. And I don’t like buying from Costa Farms either

Such great options for beginners! And of course yours would be looking so amazingly lush and full, curtains 😂 Personally I wouldnt recommend non trailing Hoyas… Here comes the story. During the Covid lockdowns here I propagated my Syngonium Pink Spot vines into lots of plantlets. Then those plantlets were dropped off at friends, neigbours and relatives doors as gifts. Now, years later, I still get questions about what to do with the vines 😅 Hoyas make way more vines and if they are not trellised and therefore dont make new leaves a beginning plant parent might get stressed about them. The people around me need more ‘coaching’ for plants that need more than water and a yearly repot 😉 However…. I have a plan to spread the Hoyas around as well 😏 Get them into the trailing ones… and then one day show up with an already trellised one… have them get used to dealing with that… and then come the cuttings 😊 Plants need to be shared, spread the joy! 🌸🌱

I like that bamboo hoop - did it not rot in the pot??

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this beautiful plant. I was given one of these by a friend who was moving. I’ve since split it into three plants. I grow mine outside in the San Francisco Bay Area, and they’re absolute beasts. Interestingly, mine seem to do best in bright shade.

Loving your videos. Could you please share how you propagate Hoyas. 😊

Love your video! This is my first but subscribed because I love your humour and keeping it honest 😊. What was the name of the FB group for seeds? I’m interested in trying this to add to my 350+ Hoya collection 🎉

Fantastic list and I agree with all these choices! I’ve never owned the Goldfish plant but I love how they look. My Mona Lisa Lipstick plant is my substitute or the closest looking plant to the lovely Goldfish plant. Enjoyed your story regarding paying $2.00 for the Goldfish plant and I adore your best buddy making an appearance in this video. He/she’s awesome!! Take care! 👌🪴🥰

Totally agree with you 👍

Links for plant food not working today

Great options. I personally also like less common versions of super common plants. Like, neon pothos instead of golden pothos (don't get me wrong I have that too lol). Raven zz vs regular green zz (I only have the raven).

Philodendron Burle Maxii & Oxalis Triangularis, they won't die & u get a new leaf like every other day 😁

Great suggestion’s. Love all the “curtain plants”, I have all the ones like yours. They give results a lot quicker than the usual suggested ones,that I also grow but are just hanging around in the background. 💚💚🪴🌿 Natalie

Watching a sansevieria grow is like watching paint dry.

I swore I would never get a Sansevieria, so now I have three. Of course. A Zeylanica, a Moonshine, and a little Hahnii. I'm surprised myself by how much I appreciate the architectural value of the two big ones in my home. I tend to be a more-is-more kinda person with color (though I don't really care for golden variegation), so my go-to gift plants are aglaonemas, particularly the wider leaf varieties. Though I am apparently incapable of walking by a pink ag without buying it (except the Siams, which I don't like), I usually buy ags with white variegation, like Spring Snow, for friends. (I don't push my pink agenda on others. haha.) They are pretty and easy and a little bit different than the plants that most non-planty people would be used to seeing. But I've gifted some hoyas, too, of course.

Loved this video! I learned some things. Your specimens are so gorgeous!! Thank you! I have a new wish list😂

Why does my pothos have brown and yellow spots. help

Wowwwwee! That Philo. Brasil! I have failed so many times with that. Absolutely gorgeous❣️I had a beautiful ZZ but overwatered because I didn't know the stems were attached to a rhizome. The Raphidofora has a lovely structural growth that climbs beautifully up a wall or trellis, killed it, but I will try growing again. I purchased a 2 leaf whalefin snake plant and had no idea it would grow 7 leaves, 3 to 5 feet tall! No these plants are not boring they all bring something to enhance plant love! Love those plants! Dee, NY

Love your presentations!! Please include your awesome best friend, too.😊

That is exactly what I do. Check my plants and feel better. Less stress. Thank you. It is good to know others do this.

Another great video and more impressive plants. Thank you.

Hey Dave. I’ve watched this 2x now. And just realized you said this might night work with established plants. Do you have any suggestions for trellising? TIA

That philodendron is as biring as a the golden pothos

I have a love/hate relationship with Golden Pothos. I would love to keep one, but they hate being in my care, and i don't know why. I have a beautiful Manjula and Cebu Blue Pothos, but Goldens always develop stem rot. I have lost more Goldens than i would like to admit.

The millennial plant dad did a great video on Sansaveria, I will never see them the same..
