I got a cutting from one of these, I planted it in a mix with compost, gritty sand and soil. I planted it in shallow basket. I held it down on the soil with stones. I have got a lovely new shoots coming from some of the nodes.
My Australis is the plain, thin leaved variety and I just love it. The thin leaves worried me because they're not chunky like my other hoyas, but it's really taking off and doesn't give me any trouble. The little devil has new leaves all over and no one is more surprised than I am. It's under a grow light in the evening, because it's winter and gets natural light exposure in my bird's room between eastern and western facing windows from dawn until dusk. I like it. The Aus and my Bella are the only thin leaved hoyas I have and they're not likely to be joined by any others. I like the chonky hoyas best.
Literally just got one of these and have been anticipating you talking about this! You only touched on it briefly during your Hoya tour. Keep up the great work. I 💚 this channel.
I just purchased my first Australis, so I found this video was helpful. I am watering it like all the other Hoyas, letting her dry out between waterings. I have her on a homemade indoor trellis I created. So far, so good.
I have a 4" pot of this that I bought on clearance for $5 at a nursery last fall. On clearance because they'd had mealybugs 😣. The plants had been treated and looked clear. I kept it quarantined for a while, and repotted and inspected the roots. It's now with my other plants, and has a tiny new leaf growing from the end of a tendril that looked dead. Very exciting!!!!
Oh I really love this Hoya and it is on my wish list and hope to acquire it this year. Good to see you Nick and I hope you have a great week, and weekend, see you soon, bye for now.
I put mine rather distant from the window by a breeze and it got finicky and threw its heavy leaves at me lol. I moved it DIRECTLY to the window East to shut it up and its thriving again and budding many new leaves that go from red to green- however its still looking rather thin sad and meh now. Skeleton vibes. How do I bush it up again? These ones have weird personalities.
i live in the equator. made a terrible mistake of placing this by the windowsill receiving direct afternoon sun! most of its large leaves burnt and scorched. i'm now nursing it back to health.
Interestingly, my australis and another hoya (which I can't recall the name is right now) weren't doing well in the potting mixes and hadn't done since I got them regardless of what I tried (all my others are though) they ended up losing all their leaves and since they were on the verge of dying completely anyway, I took them out of the potting mixes washed off their roots and repotted them straight into sphagnum moss as an experiment since I figured I had nothing to lose. That was six months ago and since then they've come back to life and exploded with growth. I just add a couple of drops of liquid fertilizer to the moss every couple of weeks and they're growing like crazy now. We're nearly at the end of our summer where I am (australia) so not sure how they'll do in the moss in the colder months but I'm just going to leave them and see how they do since they've done so well in it so far.
Mass growers soil is usually peatier and less specialized than some smaller greenhouses (where I purchased mine). I usually propagate all my hoyas in the sphagnum and they love it!
@@NickPileggiPlants I live in Tasmania and being an island I have to import rarer plants from the mainland because I can't get them here. It's right pain because of the strict biosecurity here and it's costly for me to get them through quarantine to be able import them. Depending on the type of plant I'm trying to import, there can be significant delays with them in quarantine and I find those that are sent which are not in peat have dried out when if they've been held up so if I don't get them barerooted, I usually request the grower actually put them in peat or something similar as I find they stay moist if they get held up in quarantine. I don't want to pay for a plant and then quarantine costs just to get a plant that's died during shipment. I will always repot if the plant isn't one suited to a very peaty mix over the long term but I do find it good when I have to import them to keep them moist enough they survive shipment from the mainland and the biosecurity checks. it certainly kept the hoyas I imported alive after a significant delay in quarantine.
I just got a Hoya australis today and I’m so nervous if it will do well. I put it in my kitchen really close to a north facing window above my kitchen sink on a hanging macrame basket. I hope that’s enough light for it 🥺
Hello Nick! Nice video! Could you please talk about your potting mixes for different types of plants. I’m very interested in suggestions for peperomias and calatheas! Merci beaucoup ! 🇫🇷
For some reason I cannot keep these alive. I have several other hoyas that have been thriving for years, but I’m on my second Hoya Australis after killing the first. This one isn’t doing well either! Any reason the new growth (upper leaves) would turn yellow?
Ahh I just bought one over the weekend! I didn’t mean to buy anything so I ended up carrying it with me into the bars Saturday night. 🤷🏻♀️ Thanks for reading my mind. 🙃💚
I have had amazing luck with the hoya species that are more succulent like, however the australis is throwing me for a loop. It has lost all of its leaves and I cannot get the foil to dry fast enoughI am using some general potting mix and about 50% perlite and it still is showing signs of too much water. I am going to try using a heat mat to dry it out a little faster but I have to say I think this is the most finicky hoya I have ever encountered. Would not recommend for a beginner.

Ooh, I never knew we had native hoyas in Australia! I mean, I live in the far, far south, so it's not from where I am, but it's still cool!
There’s a bunch that are native!
Literally just got one of these and have been anticipating you talking about this! You only touched on it briefly during your Hoya tour. Keep up the great work. I 💚 this channel.
Glad I could help! ☺️🌿
Always a bright spot in my day! Thanks for the Hoya info😁😁
Thank you!! ☺️🌿
Your plant is gorgeous most definitely on my wishlist. When you do repot I would love to see a video.

I have mine in my south facing window in the winter and pull them back for the summer. I only have the lisa variety and I love it so much.
That ones a beauty!!

“You should add fine orchid bark to texture your soil” Me after potting in indoor plant soil: 👁👄👁
My leaves became sofa after 2 days i got it home..any tips?
I am using the miracle grow orchid fertilizer spray once a week. It’s growing like crazy. I have a few small bamboo trellises in the pot.
This plant is gorgeous
Oh I really love this Hoya and it is on my wish list and hope to acquire it this year. Good to see you Nick and I hope you have a great week, and weekend, see you soon, bye for now.
Beautiful plant. I have the “Lisa” variety. I have been using a orchid foliar fertilizer and my plants are responding and growing very well. Cheers 🍻
I will have to give it a go!!
Very informative as usual 🙂
Thank you Nick, have a great daaay 🌱
Thank you! ☺️🌿
Hi Nick you so fun to watch very well explained your plant video
Thank you!! ☺️🌿
I just bought a house just like yours nerves be excited at the same time lol
I Just Missed Getting The Australis Lisa From The Plant Farm BUT...Looking At Your Hoya Australis: I'm Moved To Say, #GreenPower!!!
I’m sure you’ll have another chance to get one ☺️
Those leaves are big. I don't have that hoya yet but it's on my wish list. Beautiful plant.
It’s a larger-leaved Hoya for sure!
Mine has five years, it's in indirect sun light, very healthy and has never blooms.
Hi Nick, I have mine planted in small Orcihida bark, perlite & cactus mix. She's been living in it happily for about 12 months. Yours is beautiful!!
Thanks! That sounds like a perfect mixture
:)
It’s a really pretty Hoya, an sounds like it’s easy too grow 😀 I’ll be in look out for this species!! Thanks!
I’m sure you’ll find one soon!! 🌿
Really appreciate the info. I have by my south facing window but not too close. I hope mine will do as well as yours.
Have you tried the Miracle Grow Orchid Spray? My Hoyas love it. Really helps with growth and looking full & healthy.
😎
Have You Seen Any Refill Bottles For This??? IF You Have A Lot Of Plants That Little Bottle Spray Bottle Gets Empty REAL Quick!!!
@@The_Black_Truth I agree! Not sure if they make a refill. Will have to look online.
😎
@@The_Black_Truth I just emailed Miracle Grow to ask. I didn't see anything online.
😎
IF They Don't Make A Refill Bottle, They Should Definitely Consider Doing So...OR Make The Mist In A Bigger Size!!!
@@The_Black_Truth Working on it!

Very useful, thank you!
☺️🌿
nick, pls do video on fast growing plants
That’s a great video idea!
Can you tell me which subspecies this one is? Australis subspecies australis, tenupies,Brookfield, other? Thanks so much. Sara
I just got my first hoya a few weeks ago! This video was so helpful. Which is your absolute favorite?
I think that may be like asking a mother which is her favorite child!
@@cherylanne6549 haha! That's fair.
Hahaha I don’t think I could choose! I really enjoy obovata but I don’t know it’s my true favorite
I got one today 🥰💖

What are those white spots on your hoya Australia?
Amazon sells a Hoya plant mix
💚🌱🌿
hi babe, does it have strong fragrance?
💚🌱🌿😊
Is it indoor or outdoor plant ?
Czy ktoś wie dlaczego moja Australis ma ciemne plamki na liściach? Co może być tego przyczyną?
Help my leaves feel soggy
Vous parlez vraiment vite pour une francophone, mais je pense avoir compris l essentiel. Merci
