What an additional cool use. That wire fencing has been so helpful since you talked about it. It has helped so much with not just hoya but most of my houseplants. The cylinder form is absolutely amazing for vining houseplants/tropicals that get large. The vines on these plants get hard and woody but when young you can train them nicely around the cylinder which makes for a compact indoor plant which normally couldn't happen. In a 8-10 inch pot it can make what would normally be a large open unsightly plant, into dense compact looking plant since it can be wrapped on itself and around quite high since the cylinders stack. It worked well with my rangoon creeper. I do the half cylinder for my Jasmine sambac plants. So thanks for mentioning it before. It's really helped.
Doug, you are the Guru of trellises! Thanks again for another great idea with the hanging trellises! I use the plastic garden fencing and it is working great. I like the closed trellises, but DO NOT zip tie them close until you put them around the plant. I am now attaching the extra long vines around the outside of the trellis. The plants look amazing and are growing so fast, since every leaf is getting light. I have a large Hoya Obovata and could not use a closed trellis, so the open one worked great. I had to weave bamboo stakes into the middle and ends to give it extra support. If you do need a shorter trellis, DO NOT throw away the leftover part. I used it to make a very small trellis for a beginning plant. Enjoy your day, Gerry HPEteacher 😎
Thank you so much what a wonderful idea leaving in New York having small rooms not enough space going to the walls it's like somebody slap you in the head and say duh that was a wonderful wonderful interesting idea and there is so much potential and you can make some even more wild designs with this wire God bless you for the great ideas hopefully more interesting dreams then it comes out from you and you can share with us thank you God bless you stay healthy be happy peace
I love your videos Doug, you are so informative and I appreciate how you present your information in your videos it's very easy to understand and very educational
Thank you so much Brianna. I want to update this video when I get the chance as I use this method of trellising now on a large percentage of my collection and it is working out very well.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. After watching your first video I realized some of my Hoyas were too large to fit in the round trellis so I had made the half ones. This trellising system is genius.❤️❤️❤️
Great video once again Doug. I've struggled with finding the right trellis for small pots as well. I often would find decent 'regular' trellises but they would be too heavy for the small pot and tip over all the time. This seems like a great solution, thank you! P.S. nice cliffhanger at the end, now we won't know why we should give it a try! (Just kidding of course, I think you've demonstrated that pretty well in the video)
Thank you for this trellis idea! I have a bunch of new small Hoyas, this will help so much until their roots fill the pots. It’s been so gray and gloomy here in northern Vermont, as you know, they need all the help they can get!
Hi Doug! You are now my Hoya Guru! Thank you so much for all your videos. I love what you are doing! Im new to Hoya and so I try to get all the help i can get and you are just an amazing help!
On my local hoya group we have been discussing which Hoyas should be trellised since they grow up, and which grow down and need to hang or on stand and which where it doesn't matter. I figured you were the best to make a list of varieties to answer that question.
I can only give you a rule of thumb that the small leaved species do better in a basket and the larger leaved species lend them selves better to trellising. Much of it will depend on the room you have for your Hoyas as well and whether you grow outside, or inside. If you have a ton of room, letting your large leafed species run with rampant climbing vines in baskets may work for you, but I don't have that kind of space growing indoors.
Hi Doug, it's so soothing to listen to your voice talk about your precious hoyas and all the inventions you make to suit their needs ☺️ Thank you for sharing all this! Actually I recently made my own YT channel called Mini Home Jungle where I mostly talk about plant diys, but it has a totally different vibe than yours 🙂 cheers from Paris!
You're welcome! I use this all the time, and currently have at least 20 Hoyas in these circular hanging trellises. They may not be the best looking, but they do the job!
I love these, just new to hoyas but not gardening, I have been looking for a neat uniform way to hang my new arrivals so they display nicely I am going to make these, I am sure I have seen that stuff here in Australia.
Thanks Doug, I made 8 of them, absolutely thrilled with how well they work and look, I even sprayed cut ends of green wire to stop any rusting, I cut my wire along the lenght of the roll so it naturally stayed round I overlapped the 2 10cm x 10cm ends of and put the pot in that hole, it made for a secure snug fit, I made sure that it worked out so there was cross piece of wire at the very top to hang from, this all made for a very easy and neat finish, I wish I could send a photo so you could see what I mean, but thankyou so much, there is nothing on the market like them I have searched everywhere, and Australia is hopeless, our wire wasn't as strong a gauge as yours, I could tell but it still worked out fine, have a great weekend.
I think it will help me out too as I frequently have to trans plant a plant way to soon just to get room to put in a trellis, now I don't have to do that.
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas In Brazil these plants are still rare. There are few species known popularly. I have about 30 species, which I found on the internet to buy. Your videos are excellent. Thank you.
@@monalisasteil1081 You're welcome! There used to be another woman from Brazil that loved Hoyas that posted to the Hoya forums a number of years ago. She used to say how difficult it was to get these plants into the country because of a very slow postal service. She said that many times it was 4-6 weeks before getting a package, and the plants would mostly arrive near death. I hope that has changed for the better!
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas Yes, the woman who sold me the plants is from São Paulo and said that. She bought the same species several times until she got it. He paid dearly and the plant arrived dead. Today she sells in Brazil over the internet. It is something new here, and today there are export laws that make it difficult to bring exotic species of plants and animals to Brazil. It must have almost 200 species but managed to acquire it before these laws were imposed. And recently I started my collection, when it has new seedlings I will buy it over the internet. I live in southern Brazil which is colder than the rest of the country, humid subtropical climate. I'm a meteorologist and I like exotic plants a lot. Some of the cooler climate like H. pubicalyx, H. serpens, H. shepherdii are developing well here. It is too early to say which ones will adapt best, as the plants are 1 or 2 years old and in the spring of 2021 (September 2021) I hope to be presented with flowering.
@@monalisasteil1081 Thank you for all of that back ground information; it was very interesting! I think you should do very well with a number of different Hoya species there, and wish you much success!
Hey Doug…this was a great little video on trellising. I am new to Hoya…. So don’t have many. I have 24 and just bought another 9 today. And one I can’t find any information on it! So I don’t know what I’m getting. It’s a bigger plant, bought from a seller in BC and she comes from Vietnam. She sold me one called Hoya sp. phu quoc. Now that in itself I really don’t know. I can’t find much except for the fact that now phu quoc is an island??? Any ideas??
Hi Michelle, I have no idea. Is this the plant that you bought: grogens.com/product/hoya-parasitica-phu-quoc-1-viet-nam/. If it is then it will probably have flowers typical to the most of the Hoyas in the Verticillata complex. Good luck with your new plants; it sounds like you are well on your way to being addicted!
Well if these were hanging in your house, you would have to take it to the shower to water, or hold a cup underneath the pot while you water from above. My plants are inside a grow tent so being careful with the watering is not really an issue.
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas I have only three hoyas, a compacta Mauna Lau?, a linearis and a publicalyx. Will be DCtrellising the publicalyx this weekend :)
