Ok so I’ve FINALLY watched the entire vid! I love and have great success a few of the ones you have BUT polyneura and Keri. My Imbricata is going crazy! I put her in a closed container in my cabinet. I find they LOVE LOVE LOVE high humidity. The higher the better. Side note I could listen to to you all day! Lol. Ur my bff in my head
I’ve been growing Hoyas since the 1980s, I saw my first carnosa in bloom as a kid in Texas, and fell in love. I brought a few cuttings home on the plane, still have that plant. Back before they were so readily available, I grew most from single cuttings I got from other growers….and I can say from experience, most Hoyas are only good when they are young plants, they just don’t age well. They get too big, too heavy, too ungainly, and often unattractive as older plants. There are no hanging pots big enough for the monsters these plants can become. You get to a point where the only thing you can do is either buy a huge greenhouse, or find the space to put them in a floor pot next to a wall trellis.
I've started using bonsai technique for shaping my hoya Kerii. I take wire, wrap it in a small spiral and wrap it around the vine. You can slowly bend the vines using the wire to keep it in place.
Here's another reason why everyone should subscribe to your channel. You are just so darn funny and entertaining 😆 obviously I love your videos for the knowledge I get from them but mostly it's for your clumsiness and the crazy things you say. 😜 you biggest fan Vicky 😍
“They don’t look good because I don’t like them” 😂 I chuckled so many times watching this. Unfortunately I only have two carnosas but they have been so slow to grow that they may fall eventually into my own list of Hoyas I didn’t care for. We’ll see.
Never liked polyneura and imbricata so it make me happy that you started to share my VERY unpopular opinion. I'm really struggling to love my globulosa and kerii, just because they don't look how I want them to look, but definitely not going to give up on them since I still like them.
Kerrii. Was trying to offer it the best growing conditions I could, but it only grew a couple of leaves, ended up looking deformed and ugly. Slowly I started to neglect it, but it wouldn't die either 🤨
To me globulosa is the hoya that first comes to mind for the opposite category, didn’t really think much of it and then I fell in love! Also have a growing affection for kerrii and can’t wait to have a full pot of polyneura. Maybe I should try some other hoyas on this list… 😅
100% imbricata. I was so excited to get it and for months have been struggling. Root rot twice, would not shingle, only wants to taco. It’s currently down to a two leave cutting and honestly I just might Marie Kondo it out of my life because it sparks zero joy 😂
Same 😂 It did not have root rot but it refuses to be what I want it to be. I would be okay if she did something else, but nice, however, that is not the case 😂
I collected several Pubicalyx hoyas and recently gave them away. Thay just seem to grow and grow and never produce flowers. Space is a commodity and i prefer slower growing hoyas with exotic leaves. Thank you, I got that off my chest!!
In my experience kerrii takes her time before it really gets going but after that it grows like weeds. Even though the vines are much sturdier you can still bend them to your liking. I was losing mind with my unruly vines and it was a game changer for me. Now that it's that big i just chop off deformed leaves and unwanted vines.
When I first started collecting Hoyas I wanted everyone that was recommended on TH-cam videos. I kind of went crazy with purchasing them. Now that I have had so many for nine months, I have found that there are some I just don’t care for. My Multiflora had lots of peduncles then most of the flowers kept falling off before they fully opened. The Krimson Princess I had just didn’t appeal to me and I really tried to like it because a lot of people do. I have two Kerrii and don’t care for the solid green one. Some of these Hoyas are now living with my sister. LOL She may end up with some more.
This vid had me DYING!!! 😂😂😂Thank you for your brutal honesty (though I agreed with you on every bit of it lol) - glad I’m not alone with my hoya dislikes 🙈
Oh there are definitely other ones that I could add here. It is nice to wait and see them bloom but they don't have to stick around forever 😂 Not all are permanent residents here!
Gee, you've described about 90% of the hoyas I want! Oops. I do agree with you concerning Latafolia Sarawak. I have one outside in my GH and all it does is sit there, says hello when I go in then goes back to sleep! That's ok though, I still love him. Enjoyed your discussion and learned a lot too. Thank you for these videos.
A lot of these plants I’ve passed over because my excitement for them was not enough to overlook the price. Appreciate this video a lot! My priorities are straight now (saving all my Hoya budget for undulata!! 😻)
Undulata does not disappoint! All of these were quite cheap ~ 10 euros for a cutting. A lot of the times if a cutting is cheap I give it a go and it is surprising how many times I end up loving them but definitely not always 😬
Thank you for this! These are just my observations, which probably apply more for keeping hoyas in equatorial climates. With myself near the equator, ony/arch/macgilliv and the other non-eriostemma larger flowers are easier to handle due to the naturally warmer temperatures. I highly recommend going ahead with Hoya stenakei (might I recommend albiflora too!). It is much hardier than the other large flower hoyas due to its thicker leaves (like, literally kerrii kind of thick). Generally, those with large flowers need to grow large before flowering. There is a clone of kerrii with small leaves from Vietnam. With latifolia, it needs to grow into a huge mess (as you call it) before it shoots out a huge vine with like 30-50 peduncles and all of it flowers at once. That, imo is the beauty of latifolia - besides the foliage. Perhaps, might I suggest sp. IV from WMZ - it's a latifolia type which is kinda okay with cooler weather and stresses to a bright red much more easily! For blooming polyneura, you can try placing it in a very well ventilated spot, and spam flowering feed at it, high humidity not necessary (>40-50% will do). The Nepalese variant (the one with flatter leaves) is much more difficult to get flower than the Vietnamese variant (slightly wavy leaves). Imbricata, the roots need to be able to cling to something, and the best for that is really wood/bamboo. They don't really like moss, unfortunately. Perhaps you can try fernbark? This is an unusual one that needs high humidity and lower light. Linearis, for me, on the other hand, is a nightmare. Other nightmares are: buntokensis, greenii, surisana, undulata (long leaf clone)
Hoya Kerrii, absolutely. I'm just waiting for it to produce 5 big perfect heart leaves, so I can make heart plants for my grandchildren. After that it goes in the compost
i put my imbricata in a terracotta pot. it looked like it wasn't doing anything, then one day another leaf appeared. someone suggested more light and wood, I did put a piece of wood in the pot, no attachment yet. I am facinated with mine and yesterday I found another new leaf, this one is red at the moment. surprise! I have an incrasatta (eclipse) it's put out a few leaves and has a long vine, yesterday I found a second growth point. My globulosa is growing slowly and the leaves are uniform in size and pattern . And the kerrii's , also slow growing for me, one leaf at a time. As for others, I almost didn't like H deykeae but now it is fuller with large leaves. Love the videos, I've learned so much watching you this past year. I'm up to over 90 species and over 100 plants. Sometimes I wish there was a way to share some of my pictures
I am so excited I finally have a blooming Hoya after waiting a year and a half for any of my Hoyas to bloom. My Multiflora is blooming I'm so glad it's an easy bloomer (I love that work "bloomer") The hoyas I don't care for are the ones with long petioles and vines. I hate anything Heart shaped, I like my nice round Obovata.
All shingles plants come with the problem of “ when it reaches the top, what should I do?” ! Although we like them, they’re not meant to be house plants for sure.
I just brought a Kerri. I like the thick plump leaves. 2 years in and none of my Hoyas have bloomed, so I doubt I'll have to worry about Kerri's sap. Lol! I get them for the foliage, so as long as it keeps shooting out leaves.
I just LOVE your videos, watching them nonstop! Thanks so much! What's funny, I bought Hoya incrassata right after watching your video, for the very reasons you don't like it for...I have acuta and other inner variegated Hoyas and yes, I do get excited when they push out new leaves but.... I know exactly what they will look like :) with incrassata, not so much 😂 I am in love with the "unknowing"! what it's gonna be? Thanks again for the video! You are just great! 💕
Agree with many, but my ❤️ hurts about the Globulosa. I just got one Friday at Ecuagenera open house in Apopka, Fl and it is stunning. The pubescence under the leaves is incredible! 😮. The veining is beautiful too. Imbricada has always been a hard pass for me. No thanks!
Mine has two thick new trailing vines that twisted to create a half circle loop on their own. Serious globe vibes which I thought was really cool. Wasn’t on the hunt for one but couldn’t pass it up. I’d get yours on a trellis for sure.
Hoya linearis for me. Mine keeps aborting leaves so there are a lot of long empty vines. I know It’ll do better if I give it more light but im quite underwhelmed. Hoya polyneura was on my wishlist for a long time but then I saw it in person in my local plant shop and was just meh about it.
Really enjoyed this video. You verbalized some of the thoughts that cruise through my mind. I'm just thinking that as soon as my polyneura reroots, I'm selling it. Also I agree about the incrassata. I bought it over a year ago and wasn't loving it, then it put out a beautiful variegated leaf that was almost as pretty as my 'Lisa'. I was hopeful, follow that with spider mites, root rot, it fast came a problem child. I split it up and rooted it yet again. Gave my sister half and she is liking hers, but honestly the new leaves are losing variegation and the new leaf shape is all curled in - reminds me of the tounge on the rolling stones album - only it's green. And kerri never did anything for me. Can't wait for your next 2 top 10 videos
Miro, I just came accross this video. 7 out of 10 are either some of my favorites that I own or in my wishlist 🤣. How can you NOT like globulosa?! It's on my top-10!!! (btw I 100% agree on the undulata - for those who don't like it: what's wrong with you people?!)
Hoya Serpens. It hasn't done anything since I got it. It's buffering I suppose, or just indecisive about whether it wants to live or die. Which is strange because I took a vine that had rooted on the soil out of the pot, and it hasn't grown or died either. I heard it's temperature but I moved them months ago and still nothing yet.
My disappointing hoya is my sunrise. Was looking for one, found a cutting that never grew, then my local nursery released very full, trailing 4 inch pots, got it right away... and it does nothing for me. :( I'm gonna give it away to my sister to make room for an archboldiana outer variegated. 👍
Hoya onychioides is not hard to grow for me, but it takes so much space. I grow it in Seramis succulent mix on a north facing window without any artificial lights added. But some hoyas I was not able to grow, I could not find a medium they can grow in their roots without rotting away. Hoya cv Mathilde, Hoya cv Sunrise, Hoya Campanulata and Hoya Mappigera. Dissappointing to me is also Hoya cv Jennifer. Its growing well, but the leaves on my plant are not pretty. No veins, just plain green leaves.
My Imbracata grows like crazy, but it’s in only coco chunk an I water it every other day an fertilize once a week. I keep the moss pole/ board wet an in west window. I have used the green Velcro tape too hold it down. I don’t like the taco shape either. The inner Vari Kerri is an has been a mess. 💚
Fully agree on most of them! But archboldiana bloomed for me this year… so… I love her now. 😁 And there are very nice verticillatas, not only the meh-ones. 💚
I think in couple of days I might get a hoya I previously said I don’t like and you told me I just need to see it in person :D So if it surpasses my expectations, expect to see your name pop up in next few videos 😂 I would forgive archboldiana if she’d bloom!
First off I'd suggest that unless you like liquid shooting from your nose, never watch these videos while drinking!! You are hands down the absolute funniest on TH-cam!!
For me it's Hoya hypolasia, I still like her (not so much love anymore) but she is such a difficult Hoya to grow for me. It grows longest vines with baby leaves constantly falling off. 😩
I only have 14 hoyas so there aren't any I hate atm, but the ones I have have had for a couple of years are beginning to disappoint me. They are all super healthy, this year they have given me huge glossy healthy leaves, they're clearly happy. But not 1 bloom. Nothing, not even a suffering petiole. Every cutting I get takes immediately and grows well and pretty fast. I know they love my home, with its high humidity that's bad for me, but I don't fight it for love of my plants, lol. I don't expect miracles, I love them for the foliage and I'm patient, but is just ONE too much to ask? Sob.
Hi Miro! I always watch your videos and now I saw my picture in it of my dusty globulusa 😂 I completely agree with you about kerrii, you know that polyneura would be prettier if it was more bushy. at least it's nice for me. I don't find imbritata a beautiful hoya, and manipurensis too 😅 I don’t know why, I just don't like them and I won't buy them. 😄 Thank you for sharing my picture in your video. 🤗 🌱Annie plannie plants 🌱
Do you know that if u let your hoya trailing it will activate a diferent grow point and make another plant i did it with my silver and now i have to silver
@@BasiePlants I’d love a mess- it’s the Hoya that alludes me, dose well for 6 weeks, new leaves, then root rot! Into a prop box reroot, Rinse repeat! Lol oh and did I mention it’s my second one? I believe if I got a bigger plant it would do better for me I just always seem to get cuttings.
I laughed right out loud several times. you are delightful. I agree about kerrii. I do want incrassata! I do not have enough yellow flowered hoyas obviously. *sarcasm font*
I have a Hoya Kerri, I loved it at first, then it didn’t grow for over a year. I put it in a hanging basket and then it put out a leaf. I didn’t notice it in time and now its deformed. Yea ugh! Now I have a super long stem and noticing!! So frustrating!
Hoya sunrise, it just looked miserable...despite my perfect care. 🤷🏻♀️🙈 Hoya serpens, it just didn't grow. Tried higher humidity etc. Nothing. And finally Hoya caudata, it's beautiful but not the easiest. Gives me more pain than joy.
@@BasiePlants BTW I am addicted to your channel, a FB group friend recommended you a week ago and I’ve already watched 10 of your episodes; added 20 new wish list Hoyas you recommend; purchased MSU fertilizer but I will not move from Lechuza Pon lol. I have over 150 Hoyas in my collection and growing 😇
I was disappointed by stenakei. mine was a diva for 6 months and then unalived itself. It refused to root and seemed super sensitive to underwatering. could be just my individual, but I probably won’t retry that one.
Oh my....that is some presentation. Question: I am just starting out on growing in LECA. I am not familiar with hoyas, other than what i see, seem to be expensive. For a 1st timer, can you recommend an "easy" hoya that I could try? Thank you
I prefer the small and medium size hoyas, I do not have the space for the bigger ones. I have about 10 000 books and lots large taxidermy in cabinets and they take up space. My plants take everything else. I have a huge house and cannot warm up all the rooms to 20 degrees and the light is is not good in all of them, summertime is easier.
wayetti was instant disappointment for me, then it got root mealies and i had to cut and prop cuz it was pretty expensive here in australia, so i tried to keep it alive. one year later and its finally pushed out 2 bitsy new leaves and they are skinny like a sheperdii/ tsangii/ parviflora, all of which would just cost a fifth of what ive paid for if thats the look im after... TAT
You are more fun with hoyas you dont like, then with hoyas you like 😅😅🤣🤣🤣 That globulosa leaf 😅 looks like cucumber from far 😅 But I would like that is named as 'villosa' the wavy one uuuu nice 😍 What is that? It's loveeeee Miro, it's love 💚 Ahahaha I like the leaves but hate that is not posible to trelis, it's like a stick and I let it grow just up 😅 I likeeee leaves of hoya manipurensis, splashy just tiny and cute 😊 I killed hoya polyneura with underwatering and not getting new one 💀 The one that is dont like so much is obovata... any version... Sorry round leaves lovers... But I still keep them just dont know for how long 😅 Great and fun video! 😁
I'm not a fan of imbricata either, polyneurais hit and miss, I have the splash which I love, I don't see the hype in the poly outer variegated. Another one I'm not sure about is engleriana, I don't like the way mine is growing. 💚
Hey Miro I have been wanting to ask you about blooms. I get peduncles and the flowers will either stay closed or the flowers will dry up and fall off. What am I doing wrong? This has happened on my mathilde and shepherdii. Any pointers are appreciated!!
@@BasiePlants Maybe I should try it in my south window. I tend to think of my east window as blazing and my south window as a murderer, but my sunrise is happy in south...Thanks for the tip!
I think the conclusion here is that I need to get more of the hoyas I dislike 😅
I do this all the time😂😂😂. I guess I like the disappointment

I have some Hoya that take closer to three years to bloom.
I constantly ask myself why I have Hoya undulata.
Of the Hoyas I have, regular unsplashy Hoya Kerii is the one that I dislike and it is loosing its twisty leaves.
Miro, I just came accross this video. 7 out of 10 are either some of my favorites that I own or in my wishlist 🤣. How can you NOT like globulosa?! It's on my top-10!!! (btw I 100% agree on the undulata - for those who don't like it: what's wrong with you people?!)
My Hoya polyneura bloomed a couple of days ago, so I'm riding that peduncle high right now 😂 I love her atm.
Hoya Serpens. It hasn't done anything since I got it. It's buffering I suppose, or just indecisive about whether it wants to live or die.
Which is strange because I took a vine that had rooted on the soil out of the pot, and it hasn't grown or died either. I heard it's temperature but I moved them months ago and still nothing yet.
My disappointing hoya is my sunrise. Was looking for one, found a cutting that never grew, then my local nursery released very full, trailing 4 inch pots, got it right away... and it does nothing for me. :( I'm gonna give it away to my sister to make room for an archboldiana outer variegated. 👍
Hoya ‘Sunrise’ is pretty and mine grows okay but it makes a lot of mess when it blooms :( Not a problem with archboldiana 😂
Hoya onychioides is not hard to grow for me, but it takes so much space. I grow it in Seramis succulent mix on a north facing window without any artificial lights added. But some hoyas I was not able to grow, I could not find a medium they can grow in their roots without rotting away. Hoya cv Mathilde, Hoya cv Sunrise, Hoya Campanulata and Hoya Mappigera. Dissappointing to me is also Hoya cv Jennifer. Its growing well, but the leaves on my plant are not pretty. No veins, just plain green leaves.
My Imbracata grows like crazy, but it’s in only coco chunk an I water it every other day an fertilize once a week. I keep the moss pole/ board wet an in west window. I have used the green Velcro tape too hold it down. I don’t like the taco shape either. The inner Vari Kerri is an has been a mess. 💚
Fully agree on most of them! But archboldiana bloomed for me this year… so… I love her now. 😁 And there are very nice verticillatas, not only the meh-ones. 💚
I think in couple of days I might get a hoya I previously said I don’t like and you told me I just need to see it in person :D So if it surpasses my expectations, expect to see your name pop up in next few videos 😂 I would forgive archboldiana if she’d bloom!
First off I'd suggest that unless you like liquid shooting from your nose, never watch these videos while drinking!! You are hands down the absolute funniest on TH-cam!!
I have some rooted cuttings of Hoya stenakei, but have never shipped a plant
For me it's Hoya hypolasia, I still like her (not so much love anymore) but she is such a difficult Hoya to grow for me. It grows longest vines with baby leaves constantly falling off. 😩
Haha - mine doesn't even bother to grow. It is still the cutting I got it as. I bet it's a fake plant.
@@misterplantastic mine seems to like the summer heat, so she grows the long vines...leaves not so much.
Not a fake plant, it is a lovely plant that grows with the speed of light :D
For me, she does well in the tent in self watering pot. She lost one baby leaf but the rest are good :)
I have the silver polynera and for mothers day my daugther got me the outter variegated cutting i think the are beautiful i think they r fast grower
Through the whole video just kept thinking about how disappointed I was about my polyneura, and then just laughed when you said the same🤣
I am glad I didn't disappoint. 😂 (unlike Hoya polyneura)
I only have 14 hoyas so there aren't any I hate atm, but the ones I have have had for a couple of years are beginning to disappoint me. They are all super healthy, this year they have given me huge glossy healthy leaves, they're clearly happy. But not 1 bloom. Nothing, not even a suffering petiole. Every cutting I get takes immediately and grows well and pretty fast. I know they love my home, with its high humidity that's bad for me, but I don't fight it for love of my plants, lol. I don't expect miracles, I love them for the foliage and I'm patient, but is just ONE too much to ask? Sob.
so, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you talk about hoya nummularioides. It’s one of my favs. Thoughts? 🙂
Hi Miro! I always watch your videos and now I saw my picture in it of my dusty globulusa 😂 I completely agree with you about kerrii, you know that polyneura would be prettier if it was more bushy. at least it's nice for me. I don't find imbritata a beautiful hoya, and manipurensis too 😅 I don’t know why, I just don't like them and I won't buy them. 😄
Thank you for sharing my picture in your video. 🤗
🌱Annie plannie plants 🌱
Do you know that if u let your hoya trailing it will activate a diferent grow point and make another plant i did it with my silver and now i have to silver
On the Kerri can you cut the vine? I have one but it is small and compact with no vine.
Hoya imbracata stresses me out. 😬
Grey ghost for me. Nova ghost is definitely my pick
I ended up liking both of those 🙈
@@BasiePlants i just find the nova more of an elegant leaf form. The refined ghost i find the nova.
Thank you for sharing your bottom Hoya- I have a few myself (sunrise comes to mind) lol 💚😎💚
I love my Sunrise but I dislike all the mess it makes 😬
@@BasiePlants I’d love a mess- it’s the Hoya that alludes me, dose well for 6 weeks, new leaves, then root rot! Into a prop box reroot, Rinse repeat! Lol oh and did I mention it’s my second one? I believe if I got a bigger plant it would do better for me I just always seem to get cuttings.
I laughed right out loud several times. you are delightful. I agree about kerrii. I do want incrassata! I do not have enough yellow flowered hoyas obviously. *sarcasm font*
I have a Hoya Kerri, I loved it at first, then it didn’t grow for over a year. I put it in a hanging basket and then it put out a leaf. I didn’t notice it in time and now its deformed. Yea ugh! Now I have a super long stem and noticing!! So frustrating!
I’m doing mine now ;) The penny my friend, simply another carnosa😏
Do you mean Penny's Treat?
Hoya sunrise, it just looked miserable...despite my perfect care. 🤷🏻♀️🙈 Hoya serpens, it just didn't grow. Tried higher humidity etc. Nothing. And finally Hoya caudata, it's beautiful but not the easiest. Gives me more pain than joy.
You can try aff caudata (commonly sold as cuadata from Sumatra). Those are much easier! I agree about serpens. Misery is its middle name.
I’m sorry I love them all but the Kerri I agree with you. Mine just turn into blobs of ugly leaves verses heart shaped hence why I hate them 😊
Mine makes nice heart-shaped leaves but I don't like its growing habit xD
@@BasiePlants BTW I am addicted to your channel, a FB group friend recommended you a week ago and I’ve already watched 10 of your episodes; added 20 new wish list Hoyas you recommend; purchased MSU fertilizer but I will not move from Lechuza Pon lol. I have over 150 Hoyas in my collection and growing 😇
I was disappointed by stenakei. mine was a diva for 6 months and then unalived itself. It refused to root and seemed super sensitive to underwatering. could be just my individual, but I probably won’t retry that one.
I’ve seen several ibricatas that need to be taped to the post to grow flat.
Oh my....that is some presentation. Question: I am just starting out on growing in LECA. I am not familiar with hoyas, other than what i see, seem to be expensive. For a 1st timer, can you recommend an "easy" hoya that I could try? Thank you
Any form of Carnosa should be forgiving as well as Krohniana! :)
You need to set them outside for a few weeks and hopefully, it will smarten up.
Oh one of my latifolias is outside. Usually when they go outside, they are not coming back in 😂
I prefer the small and medium size hoyas, I do not have the space for the bigger ones. I have about 10 000 books and lots large taxidermy in cabinets and they take up space. My plants take everything else. I have a huge house and cannot warm up all the rooms to 20 degrees and the light is is not good in all of them, summertime is easier.
Get imperialis! Mine bloomed but u are right they are so inflexible compared to other Hoyas and I Broke the peduncles with blooming flowers!! Argh 😭😭😂
Great video as always… do you ever sell any hoya cuttings or hoya plants?
Subquintuplinervis.... idjk, she was rotted when I got her so maybe she's just taking a long time to re-root, but ugh.
Great video!!! Do you happen to sell plants or cuttings?
Please make a video on the hoya viola 😀 mine does nothing and would be regret purchase...lol
I will put in on my to do list of videos I need to record 😂
@@BasiePlants wonderful 🙂
100% agree on kerrii. I'm just underwhelmed. 🙈
The heart is just not enough.
Hoya globulosa gives me so much pain! Keeps dropping the leaves so I cut it and now I'm propagating it. Going really slowly.
I feel you :( I was ready to sell the whole plant and then it made 2 gorgeous leaves 😂
wayetti was instant disappointment for me, then it got root mealies and i had to cut and prop cuz it was pretty expensive here in australia, so i tried to keep it alive. one year later and its finally pushed out 2 bitsy new leaves and they are skinny like a sheperdii/ tsangii/ parviflora, all of which would just cost a fifth of what ive paid for if thats the look im after... TAT
“I’m not a fan of that leaf at all.” 😂
It should have tried harder 😂
You are more fun with hoyas you dont like, then with hoyas you like 😅😅🤣🤣🤣 That globulosa leaf 😅 looks like cucumber from far 😅 But I would like that is named as 'villosa' the wavy one uuuu nice 😍
What is that? It's loveeeee Miro, it's love 💚 Ahahaha I like the leaves but hate that is not posible to trelis, it's like a stick and I let it grow just up 😅 I likeeee leaves of hoya manipurensis, splashy just tiny and cute 😊
I killed hoya polyneura with underwatering and not getting new one 💀
The one that is dont like so much is obovata... any version... Sorry round leaves lovers... But I still keep them just dont know for how long 😅
Great and fun video! 😁
Hoya Retusa…why did I ever buy this plant..idk?
Withered away in two weeks.
also, you look magnificant.
Ugh hoya Anulata. The leaves are so ugly in person and it’s such a slow grower. I’ve tried to get rid of it to no prevail
No sir. That’s the one you suggested last year, I’m said to hear you say this;, Emperiales;)😏
Did I actually suggest getting Hoya imperialis?! Oops!
*Hallway of Death* 😂😂👻
I adore you ❤ but my Hoya Germany…. Not so much 😮
I'm not a fan of imbricata either, polyneurais hit and miss, I have the splash which I love, I don't see the hype in the poly outer variegated. Another one I'm not sure about is engleriana, I don't like the way mine is growing. 💚
Hoya Bella
Hey Miro I have been wanting to ask you about blooms. I get peduncles and the flowers will either stay closed or the flowers will dry up and fall off. What am I doing wrong? This has happened on my mathilde and shepherdii. Any pointers are appreciated!!
I thought I would love hoya sigillatus, but I don't. I don't enjoy anything about it and I don't know why.
Love my polyneura cutting. Not fond of my retusa.
It is reverse for me 😂 I loved my polyneura when it was small. So cute when it is a cutting.
If you are still looking for Stenakei, let me know if you want to do a trade.
Yes please to viola video !!
Let's hope I can research her before she blooms! :D
curtisii
I love my hoya globulosa
Hoya kerrii do not like it at all I would mind the splashy one but I don't like kerri😢
Incrassata is just not doing it for me, sadly. Also verticillata (sold as parasitica) black margin has a very underwhelming black margin. 😂
We feel the same way about incrassata. I have that verticillata, it needs a lot of light to get slightly more impressive 😅
@@BasiePlants Maybe I should try it in my south window. I tend to think of my east window as blazing and my south window as a murderer, but my sunrise is happy in south...Thanks for the tip!
