Thank you for posting 🙏 completely unrelated, but my sweet doggy passed away last night and I’ve been a wreck. Hearing you talk about plants is a familiar comfort in a time when everything in my life is upside down. Hug Olive for me 💞
Sending love and hugs your way sweetie!! Im so sorry for your loss!! May you cherish all your memories with your baby!! My thoughts are with you!!
😭🤗💔
I am so, so sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine going through that. I am sending you all my love and comfort 🥺💗 I’m thankful my videos can provide some distraction and solace. take care of yourself x
I’m sorry for your loss! I know how had that is 💚
Sending you so much love Bloom💕I’m so so sorry you’re going through that. I cannot imagine your feelings💕this community is here for you💐
Something Ive done thats worked for my slower hoyas is if I notice they are stagnant for too long I cut them. I did this with my Kerri and my Caudata Sumatra, both of them developed 5-7 new growth points shortly after.
Love your vids Fern 🌿💖
Ooo yes - great tips! I’ve noticed this too. My Hoya love to me cut and it usually activates new growth 😃
This! I tried propagating my Krimson Queen and activated 2 growth points. Tried that same logic on my carnosa splash...and boom! 2 growth points, so exciting
But what if it's a one leaf Kerri?.?
If it's the typical one leaf kerrii sold around Valentine's day then it probably doesn't have a growth node at the bottom - and that means it won't grow any more leaves.
Use Miracle Grow orchard spray on your Hoyas once a week! Mine love it!!
I took your advice regarding the orchid spray for Hoyas and most of them EXPLODED with growth during the winter months. I was SHOOOOKETH!
Yassss 👏 amazing to hear!
I was wondering the other day if I could use the mist on my Hoyas, guess the universe answered me 😊
@@gisellefrias2686 they’ll love it!
I just bought some today. I’m excited!
Now that it's Springtime, get some orchid mist and spray all your hoyas. I did and got new growth on almost all of them! It works!! Love your collection. Beautiful!! xoxo
I’ve heard that also
I’ve got to try it
@@Wendy-zl8kv It works great!
Anyone have a brand they recommend?
@@premeditatio Sorry it's been 12 days! I just saw this. Honestly as much as I don't like to use the Miracle Grow brand that is the orchid mist that I have. Until I find a replacement. I'm sure there are others on Amazon. However, I sometimes I worry about their authenticity.
@@pudgyplanter1130 no need to apologize, love; I appreciate the response!
Thank you! I'll research some different brands as well as DIY options. Always happy for an excuse to expand my understanding. 💚🌿
I was told from a worker at a local plant store here that hoyas don’t need extra humidity so there’s no point in putting them in a cabinet. While at the time I thought there’s no harm in putting them in a cabinet because they’d probably grow faster, I’ve since moved all my hoyas out of the cabinet into my house (near the window or under grow lights) and they are doing really well. Lots of new growth and even some peduncles!
Some hoyas definitely do better with extra humidity. Carnosas don't need it, but many of the species I have need it and grow much better in my cabinet than regular household conditions.
Just thinking out loud, but hoyas leaves are so substantial and tough that it makes sense they would grow slowly. The flip side of this is that because they are tough, the leaves aren’t fragile. I’ve also found that they start slow and speed up after a year or 2. Not for people who need immediate gratification I guess. My oldest Hoya I got from a cutting 15 years ago from work. It’s really lovely, not too fussy, and it’s had two “kids” lol. I’m not sure of the variety, but I think it’s a Hoya carnosa splash at my best guess. The flowers are pretty though infrequent and they are very stinky… like urine… I got a Hoya Krimson queen 2 years ago as a very small plant and it’s just starting to grow now. I almost gave up on it. I also recently got a sunrise and it’s not doing anything. So pretty though. I’ll be patient.
Hi Sam this might sound crazy but I started misting my Hoya with orchid mist fertilizer and its game changer I can't say it works 100 percent of the time but it does work seen another you tuber talk about this and it doesn't hurt your plant no matter how much you use it you might give it a try love your channel!!!💚🌱
Clicked so fast.. you had me at Hoya 🤩
yay enjoy 💓🥰
Hey Fern, I hope you get this message. When you suspected it “could be a heat thing” I believe you’re right, I have all my Hoya in southern facing windows and they get so much warmth and even the Hoya that people say grow slow have put on so much growth for me. Maybe put them on a heat mat in your cabinet, that might just be the ticket. Love yah! 👏😍❤️
Thank you for this I’ve recently been getting into Hoyas and this video comes in handy! 🥰
I love love love your hoya video's!! my fastest might be my Bella (green variety) but my mathilde, krimson princess, variegated lisa and Bilobata are also crazy quick growers! my slowest would have to be my rotundaflora , I've had it for a year and it's only started giving me growth this spring. Have a great day!!!
Yay I’ve been looking forward to an upload all morning 💕 loving the consistency :)
Awe thanks so much Jackie!! 🥰
Definitely agree about the linearis. I got mine a few months ago and she just has not stopped putting out new growth
Hi Fern! So, two years ago, at a local nursery, I had picked out a few small plant babies. One was a Hoya carnosa, just the plain kind. I was at the checkout counter, and the woman told me, oh, let me show you a better one! And pointed to the Compacta cuttings. I had seen them, loved them... She pointed out they were better because they grew so slowly. Well, I would like to bop her in the head for that! It has had such slow growth, plus the wind knocked it down from it spot on the sill... Had to repot. It tried to die on me ... I took a single node cutting from the tiny cutting, rooted it in water. That lived, the rest died. 😂 In the meantime, I had ordered a jrimeon princess unrooted cutting from Etsy. It took forever to root, such slow growth.. I just want a Hoya that Grows;
I potted them up together as mates, since they both refuse to grow. ( Lol)
The princess has put on a few new leaves. The Compacta hasn't lost its newest leaf yet.
🥺😅 Irony in hoyas. .I wish I would have just got the carnosa. I wonder if that cashier ( or owner) was being hateful?
That’s so strange! I didn’t know slow growth would be a selling feature on a plant hahah. Good luck to your Hoya 🤗
@@wildfern yep, she was definitely being evil! 😆 Thanks!
loveeeed this!! so many of my hoya are waking up now that its spring so im really loving them right now 🙌
Yasssss 👏
First of all, thank you so much for consistently putting out new content🙏🏼❤️
I completely agree with you on three Hoyas I have. The Chelsea I have took foreverrr to finally grow but since the spring it's grown a few new leaves😊 My Variegated Heuschkeliana was shipped to me and has grown so much since I've had it. Same for my Mathilde.
I for sure think you should repot your variegated Compacta because your mix is probably going to give it the nutrients it needs to grow🌱
Hi Fern :) I just got into Hoyas recently My fav is krimson queen and I even miss it at work😂. This week, I got a small macrophylla variegata with two small leaves shooting out! So excited to watch them grow!! I love your vids. I watch every one of them 🥰
Oh my gosh so sweet I love that haha. I miss my plants when I’m away too! ☺️🥰
Love the Hoya video - they are my favorite!
You are very comfortable with pon - Hoyas absolutely love pon! You could repot your slow growing Hoyas in pon in 3” plastic pots or smaller plastic cups. You can experiment with watering them like soil, or leaving the normal small reservoir of water. If a Hoya is stagnant for a long time, check the roots and see if they have any dry stringy roots or any roots that don’t pass the tug test. Then cut those roots off and plant in a moist substrate or water (I often re-root Hoya cuttings in pon).
Another comment talked about false mites - they cause the Hoya to stop growing. If you look at the underside of the leaf and notice brownish dry scarred looking patches - get a magnifying glass and check for the microscopic red mites. Or if you start having growth points that grow a tiny bit and stop. I found out about false mites the hard way and they infected my whole cabinet 😬
I love your compacta variegata too, but I can’t buy one because of how slow they grow!
Love this vid as everyone's experiences with same variety hoyas are totally different. My slowest growers are my Picta & Variegated Compacta and every other hoya is romping away, especially my Rotundifolia, Rosita & my variegated Verticillata. I was so excited to see somebody else with the variegated Verticillata especially as the new vines come in a gorgeous pink 💗 Such a beautiful variety.
You posted this literally as the guys were recommending my first Hoya in the discord 😂 synchronicity!! That Mathilde on the round trellis is so stinking cute 🥺
I find azomite helps soooo sooo much with my Hoya!! Once I pot with azomite mixed in my soil mix they just thrive! I have my obovata a friend gave me giving me a new leaf every couple weeks since repotting as she couldn’t get it grow. You should be able to get it at any of your local shops that sell plant food etc 💚
I just got my first 5 Hoya over the span of a month & I love em!! I bought a 6inch variegated rope bc I had a feeling it would grow slow af if I got a lil pot. I also have a Princess, Queen, silver splash, & a huge 8inch Australis! Very excited for them to take over lol
I keep my varigated Compacta in a 2in right under the grow light in my ikea cabinet and after about 6 months it shot out about 5 in of New growth and tons of leaves. Ive had it for about 2 years now and still growing, but havent up potted...Hope this may help!
I mist my Hoyas with a blooming fertilizer every day and my mini Compacta has popped out 3 leaves since mid-March. Give it a try.
Hi Fern love the video. I have the same problem with my variegated compactas, but I put them in a south window and it helped. My hoya Chelsea loves being under a grow light or in a south window.
I love you videos so much! I get my plant collection thanks to you and please keep ‘em coming!
P.S. I have a gnat infestation so any preset videos how to fight them is more than welcome!
I’m starting my Hoya journey!
Thank you for this video!
You are welcome! You're going to love Hoyas :)
I have the same exact problem with my variegated compacta and I think I’ve figured out that it does better in a plastic pot and likes a bit more moisture and humidity. I made the mistake of potting it last summer in cactus/succulent soil and put it in a clay pot. It was doing great outside until I brought it inside! By Halloween, 2 of the 3 cuttings in my pot shriveled up and died. I re-potted the lone survivor in richer soil and put it in a small plastic pot, started watering it more and put it in a brighter window and I finally have a new leaf starting.
I wondered this too, some of them don't do so well in terracotta in my opinion.
I love your demo on the Hoyas. Thank you for the vid. Also you look so beautiful. Pls keep sharing 👍
I’ve had my Mathilde for a year now and it literally did absolutely nothing. I chopped it and put it into my grow tent and it put out this tinyyy growth point but also barely did anything. And then a few months ago it lost all its leaves and nearly died😐 Luckily i managed to air layer it and the tiny growth point came back to life and now I have tiny baby leaves:) I never throw out my plants anymore until I know that they are 100% dead lol
I have had almost the same experience! I’ve had my Mathilde for a year- it put out, like, 6 leaves, lost 4, then I cut it back, it shot out a vine, put out 6 more baby leaves but only 2 made it. I can’t figure her out and she’s one of my favorite 😢
That's funny, I got a teeny starter plant a year ago and now mine is literally choking itself out on its trellis slightly over a year later.
I do looovvveee me some hoya! Irregardless if they grow fast or slow, they're just.. cute, so many different colors patterns... 😳🤩
I just got my Hoya heuschkeliana variegata and seeing yours makes me so excited to see it grow!!!
I have a "mathilda" too and its growing and shooting new leaves😅
glad to see that yours has these little spots as well
Wow my Hoya Chelsea that I bought about 5 months ago has grow so much,and today I went to Lowe’s and found a Chelsea basket for 19;98 she is so beautiful and 🥰
Love the hoya content 👌🏾 I got my mathilde because I saw how fast yours grew. Mine hasn't done anything for me though. 🤔
thanks for the tips of planting
After this past winter, I absolutely swear by using cactus fertilizers for my Hoya. Specifically, I've been using Espoma's cactus fertilizer. It's a gentle organic fertilizer, so I don't reduce it by half like I normally would with other fertilizers. I've been seeing new growth from Hoyas that previously hadn't grown for 6+ months and I've gotten peduncles from other Hoyas that had never bloomed for me before. Since I use grow lights all year round, I kept fertilizing even in the winter, and that made such a huge difference on the growth. I also agree with another comment that propagating your slowest Hoyas could help stimulate new growth!
A few of my hoya's I repotted into pon and they seem to love it, maybe repot your variegated compacta into pon :) I wil repot the rest of my hoya's the next couple of months. My linearis is a fast grower and also my bella, luckily because she almost died on me, so I needed to make cuttings. Once they settled in the pon they took off like crazy!
Loving your hair!! Growing in nicely!!
Ah thank you!! I think the worst poof ball stage will be approaching in the next couple of months so I’m enjoying it while I can lol
the reason the variegated compacta should be in it's original pot is because in order for the majority of hoyas to grow and flower is to be pot bound. That size hoya will take forever to fill that pot. I would try usint a much smaller pot
Hoya callistophylla tests my patience constantly, 8 months without a new leaf but it did give me a peduncle and bloomed so I can't be too mad at it. My track stars are also Matilde, fungii, and Rebecca!
I use Miracle Gro orchid bark in my hoya mix. That has fertilizer in it and I think it helps. Hoya Kerrii is my slowest grower and can drop a new leaf. I did put it on a trellis to help encourage growth but not getting anything.
Sprayed my variegated Kerii with miracle grow orchid fertilizer spray and three leaves have grown this summer
Since you love heuschkeliana I think you would also love Australis Lisa - it's so beautiful. It reminds me a lot of the inner variegated obovata too, but the leaves are thinner. They also come in bright red/pink. A total stunner. Not sure about prices in Canada but they're coming down rapidly here (I can get a cutting for about a third of the $100 I paid in January) but I saw plant me Ashley get two for super cheap at a big box store in the US. Definitely worth it as they're a stunner. Now to hunt down that Heuschkeliana for my own collection ;)
I agree!! I have a H. Lisa and she grows like a weed with such beautiful colors!! I live in the US and paid $30 for 2 plants in a random grocery store. crazy!!
Ah yes the Lisa is gorgeous!!
I read that Hoya vines like to grow into shade as that's where they 'think' the trees would be for them to grab on, I've noticed if I tuck my vines behind a curtain or another plant they often shoot out growth. Sometimes there is no shade under a grow light?
My mathilde is a good grower too, though she slowed way down this winter. I recently acquired her sister, the chouke, and she quickly put out one leaf and is working on another. My krimson queen and my krinkle 8 are my best growers by far, and I've just purchased a Susie Q baby, which is supposed to be a cross between them, and I hope it'll be just as good a grower. My slowest is my gorgeous vitellina, which has one leaf after 7 months, though I did lose the growth point through under watering. My dischidia ovata finally put out a new leaf and a second growth point after nearly a year-and a mouse ate them both! Grrr.
Lovely video 💚 My fastest growing hoyas are pubicalyx (pink silver), curtisii and serpens 😊 and the slowest callistophylla but it has just started to put out a couple new leaves so 🤞 I have switched it to pon and seems to like it so far 😌
GIRL THAT Hoya Heuschkeliana is INCREDIBLE!! How glorious is she !! I need one! And your Hoya Mathilde!! My Mathilde FINALLY Bloomed for me this year ! She’s got tons of peduncles! PEDUNC PEDUNC !
Has your Hoyas bloomed yet? I remember the Hoya Compacta blooms! I’ve always wanted mine to bloom, but it never has !
Thanks for this video! Awesome content, as always! Cheers!
I haven't had anyyyyy blooms yet this year, but my fingers are crossed that I will get some!! It's the best when they're blooming 🌺
Hi Fern, try putting your Hoya Chicken Farm into your IKEA cabinet. I think it needs more warmth and humidity. I imported my Hoya mitrata in 2018, did nothing for almost two years. I re-potted it in leca and now since last year, finally started growing and even now in winter has grown a new leaf for me. Hope this helps and good luck with her. Thanks for sharing and happy growing.
Hoya Mathilde is absolutely my fast growing and fave hoya. I’ve only had my hoya mathilde for almost 5 months as I am new to hoyas. I got it as a small plant with less than 10 leaves. It has probably doubled and tripled in leaves now and I have 3 peduncles now and 2 is already blooming. 😍 I don’t do anything special, no extra humidity, no extra heat, no greenhouse. Just my regular house condition. I also just had a hoya chelsea as a 3 leaf plant. Got it 2 months ago and it has put out 3 leaves for me. I just neglect all my hoyas as what everyone is telling me. 😁
My fastest growing Hoya is definitely Hoya davidcummingii! Also it's absolutely crazy how much she constantly bloms (like five or six flower at the same time and never stops!). I started just with a small cutting, nearly two years ag, and she is now a full pot plant! My slowest one is krinkle 8, and I bought those two at the same time, they are on the same shelf and receive the same treatment ahaha
Same here with the variegated compacta. Ive had mine for a year and it's grown 3 leaves.
Hahaha oh gosh 💀
Watching hoya compacts grow is like watching paint dry! 😂😁🤣💚
I had one that was older established with tendrils (4) 3+ft. Plenty of bright indirect light and not 1 single penducle 9r bloom all the years I had it. Then one day at decided to start dying. So disappointing.
Love your Hoyas. I just got a bella and outer variegated bella. To soon to know how quickly they will grow
My hoya chelsea is a really fast grower, and my mathilde a really slow grower 😆 So funny to see how experiences with plants can be so different
Completely agree with all of these! Especially the mathilde, mine is a weed. Svetlana is probably my slowest grower…like…two leaves a year 🤣
My Pubicalyx, Australis, and Carnosas grow so fast for me!! My Heuschkilina pink is so slow while the yellow one is growing like crazy but I done have the variegated ones.
Fern! 🌿💚 Remind me how you use the Orchid spray on your Hoyas!
I spray them in the evening once every 2-3 weeks ☺️
I finally just got a hoya compacta! I think I almost got one of the ones on the fast growing list, but I wound up putting it back.
Omg, Im in love with that Hoya Heuschkeliana 😍
I really want a linearis but I feel like every time I find one it looks terrible. They’re so cute
My pink princess and pubicalyx are definitely my two fastest growers. I will say my Chelsea has been fairly slow. Just recently put her on a trellis to see if that helps a bit!
Im a fresh hoya heusckeliana variegata parent, and I tought this will took ages to grow. Thank you for the video, now I have hope for a full plant in the near future. (but with my luck it will rly take ages 😂)
I'd be curious to see the roots of that compacta variegata. I noticed hoyas can survive forever with a bit of root rot, they just won't grow much. That being said, when I have a stagnant plant I like to switch its substrate completely, so if it was my plant I would probably put it in pon.
I am going to repot it and check the roots out! Thank you ☺️
Hi Fern!!! ❤︎ My fastest growing Hoya would have to be my Lacunosa Snowcaps. She’s bloomed for me 5 times since I got her (5 MONTHS AGO)
My slowest growing Hoya has been my Kerrii for sure 🤪😩 She is soooo close to giving her first leaf for me!
I have a pretty full basket of Chelsea and the cuppy leaves are an absolute favorite of mine. I find that even my established plant is pretty moderate when it comes to growth. So, I hope you’re able to get a nice, full plant soon!!
En mi caso es al reves la hoya que mas me crece tengo como 15 plantas es la hoya Kerrii y la Obovata.
Hi Fern, thank you for the video :-) The moon trellis is so prettyyy! Did you make it, too?
No hahah I wish I was able to do so! It's from an Etsy shop called Rayphidophora
Thank you :-)
I’m 16 and I like plants:))) you’re very inspiring and my collection has grown so much since watching your videos
I have a 2 leaf cutting of Chelsea and Sunrise that did nothing for almost 2 years. About 3 months ago I transferred into leca and they each have 7 leaves now. Maybe try some in leca
I would add a bunch of coco husk to should mix. It took me 3 years since the start of my soil journey but all my hoyas are finally thriving. The main trick is lots of air on the roots with a super chunky soil. Most people seem to use orchid bark but I've had terrible luck with root rot when I use orchid bark. So my suggestion is lots of coco husk on the no growers
My liniearas has been struggling :(. It got mealy bugs last year and they were hateful!! I wish you could get Trader Joe’s for there plants as well! My Australis is massive!! It came in a tower with soo many strands!! 💚💚. Pubicalyx is the same!! I have it on 2 hoops and it just keeps growing like mad!! My obovata has also exploded!! .. I have soo many slow many slow growers to mention.. but I have hope lol. You Hoya collection really inspired mine!!💚💚💚
Have you been propagating your Hoya Heuschkeliana to make the pot more full (and if so, what method)? I've got one that is growing like crazy but want to fill out the pot. Yours is LOVELY (and so are you...your videos and help are extremely appreciated)!
Yes another video I love it
I don't have a plant cabinet with lights or anything, all my plants live in my sunroom in New Jersey all year round. My hoya australis, obovata and chelsea are rapid growers. My compacta is like a snail.
Thank you enjoyed video
my hoya compacts was growing sooo slow & i had it in the same kind of pot. i repotted into a small ceramic pot and now she has taken offffff.
Pull your slow growing plants from the pot and dust the roots with mycorrhiza and then add some silica to you water…. That will help establish good roots and stems.
I am struggling on my baby ones Hoya’s since there roots are still not fully established there in there cocoa coir plugs. I keep them in the sun to help it grow hopefully next year they be more mature into a young adult plant. The matures ones i just spray with orchid spray and i have noticed they are growing new leaves. I spray more on the empty stems so growth nodes will appear for new leaves to come on. There are some Hoya’s who are slower to grow so i would not worry to much. My fastest ones are the Hoya Krimson Queen and Princess.
Loved the video! My fastest growing Hoya is my Krinkle 8 and my slowest is my Wayetii
Love that trellis! Where did you get it?
Have you tried orchid mist? I swear it works magic!
I find my Hoya need more water and feed, I'd check their roots and put them in plastic or something and see how that goes :) Just a thought - totally worked for me.
I love all your content. 💜 I've recently bought a couple hoya, I hoping they don't take a lifetime to give me a new leaf. 🙏 BTW you give Disney princess vibes, I hope someone discovers in the film industry.
Sending you fast growing Hoya vibes. & thank you for your kind comment x
Put them under sun lamps and give them a lot of humidity the variegated need sunlight so yea mine is taking off because I just sit her under my lamp with all my cacti
Chelsea is a slow grower from cuttings. Mine took 8 months to show any changes. Now that it is summertime she is taking off. I think it is heat and length of daylight.
I'm wondering if you do the runner thing I did with my WG if you can bend it that way? That's when I got all those new leaves...
I've got a Hoya Carnosa I purchased over a year ago and it looks the same, with exception of 2 little baby leaves🤣 This video gives me hope that maybe that's just how my Hoya rolls🤷🏾♀️
I hope it speeds up for you soon lol!
By far, my SLOWEST grower is my Krinkle 8. And I just recently got a Mathilde that I'm excited to watch grow!
I love any video about hoyas 😅
My fastest growing are probably my curtisii and variegated bella, and the slowest are my callistophylla and rotundiflora. I took several cuttings from rotundiflora though, and I’m hoping some fresh roots in fresh soil will do better
I've had my rotundaflora for about a year and it's just giving me new leaves now!! crazy slow!
Ah yes my Rotundiflora was slow too! Eventually it took off but it took awhile
I have the hoya linearis, but how do you get cuttings to prop? They don't seem to root very easily for me.
Your Hoya Linearis leaves are huge!
i have a compacta that grows super quickly as well actually!!! my hoya kerii keeps acting like it's going to put out a new leaf and it still hasn't :/ i've had it for over 2 years and i just hope it'll do something for me.
All my hoyas are slow haha, except for one small guy. Hoping that they grow this year! Good to know that I am not the only one that is waiting for growth.
I think Hoyas in general just take a long time to establish. I have a Hoya Chelsea that took almost 3 years to establish from a rooted cutting! After 3 years it started exploding with growth though!
Have you tried Fluval Stratum the new substrate who does miracles with your hoya growth?🤗😍
Hey Fern
Hello ☺️😄
I reckon any stress you give a hoya, puts it into survival mode.
I'd cut your compacta back at a few places, and see what happens.
I don't think it needs repotting or extra humidity.
Give it a fright and cut it back.....go on, I dare you!
I bet you it will grow much faster when it's been shook.
Experimental Jo from New Zealand.
BtW, you are looking really natural and more beautiful everyday.
People are drawn to you because of your kind soul and not all the otherness... distractions.
I ordered 11 plants after watching this video. SMH. I had been good for a whole year and hadn’t bought any new plants… and then I watched this. LOL
Did the Compacta Variegata have flat mites?
Hey all of Fern's other plants
I love your hair short, very pretty.
Many thanks for posting this video! My Hoyas are hitting about 50/50 on their growth rate. Some are very slow and some are growing much faster. So far it seems to be shaping up for a very good growing season in North Carolina!. Wishing the same for everyone else in their region! 👌🪴🥰
