I am on my fifth Linearis and I think I have finally figured it out. I keep mine under a grow light which is on 12+ hours a day with a humidifier running for at least 8 of those hours. But the biggest thing I have found to be the secret is bottom watering. This is the only plant I will bottom water but since I have started this he grows like gang busters and doesn’t drop any leaves. The Linearis is by far my favorite Hoya which is why I am willing to jump through so many hoops to keep it happy. Thank for the great video Doug!
Wow, you really must like this plant a lot to try with it five times - that is dedication! I'm glad that you finally have something that is working for you!
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas I really do like it. Like I said, it is my favorite Hoya although had I known I was going to have to invest so much time and money I may have not persisted. Thanks for the updates and tips on your Hoyas. I enjoy hearing what other growers are doing with their plants.
The Hoya linearis is one of my favorite Hoyas. I grow mine in semi-hydro, and it's growing like crazy. I've never had any flowers; fingers crossed to see flowers one day. Thank you for sharing!
This is without a doubt one of my favorite Hoyas. I now grow it in coconut husk chips, soak it once a week, and it is so happy! I will show it at the end of my next video.
I have a couple of cuttings started in summer in semi-hydro and oh boy, it grew well! I don’t think it’s ready to bloom but I heard a lot of good things about the blooms, I can hardly wait to see mine bloom. Thank you for sharing! I would like to see a follow up video about how it did with trellis.
Beautiful plants as usual. I have a few very small cuttings rooted and growing in soil. Can’t wait until it starts growing long. Thanks for the tips. Growing in MA. 😀
Hi Yoli, They really don't like prolonged periods of heat, but seem to be able to tolerate short periods of 90 degrees. The plant on the trellis in the video unfortunately did not make it (root rot), but I still have a lot of it as it is just a cool looking plant and makes me think of Spanish moss hanging in my plants.
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas I just fell prey to youtube videos saying it needs more water than other hoyas so started watering it more frequently and now it is a saturated soggy mess! I am desperately hoping I can dry it out before root rot sets in so I can go back to my normal abject neglect!
@@FortheBudgies Yes, it is funny all of the completely different advice for growing this one. All I can say is that if I start paying this one a lot of attention and water too much, it goes down hill in a hurry. I have found it better to err on the side of too dry. If you do start losing leaves from rot, take cuttings as it roots pretty easily in water.
Oh that is lovely. They look great. I have one in my kitchen. It's not happy. Has dropped many leaves but is still alive. In normal hoya mix. Might be lack of humidity. Would probably do better outside for me but I want to have it hanging where I can enjoy it. I love your trellising ideas.
mine took forever to acclimate to my home, i thought it would be permanently unhappy but it’s been pushing out growth like crazy the last few months. hope it continues to do well in the winter, thanks for this video! ¨̮
Fabulous specimen! My pot only consists of 2 vines at the moment. I need to have it grow longer so I can snip and create more for a lush pot. I can't wait for mine to give me some blooms! I agree, your metal hoop trellis is very cool! 😎
You are doing well Melanie growing it in your location; I know of a couple of people who said it was impossible to keep it alive there so you are definitely doing something right!
Thank you so much Weronika! You're the first person who has reported to me that they heard that interview. Thanks for letting me know that you heard it and that I didn't sound too bad!
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas You were so patient, informative and real with your experience with hoyas, your mistakes. Also I had no idea your love for hoya stated at home depot! And those photos you provided... Just... great job. Greetings from Poland! ❤️
@@weronikajakubczak115 Your English is amazing! I would have never known that you were not from right here. Greetings from Vermont, and thank you for the very nice comment❤️!
Hoya linearis grows like a weed here in the UK. I guess it's more humid here. My mother calls it the seaweed Hoya! Mine just flowered for the first time, only one peduncle made it to flower.
hey, could you do an update video on how the trellised linearis is doing? did it ever "grab" the trellis at all? also, thanks so much for this trellis idea. i've been trying to figure out how to give a large trellis to a retusa which is in a small pot, i think i will try this.
That particular trellised linearis is long gone; it was lost to root rot. It is a very poor specimen to grow trellised; it never grabbed the trellis at all. This is a plant that is far better grown as a hanging basket.
Love this plant. I have mine in an east window but in NH so I'm debating if I should put in my little indoor grow tent during the winter. I have a little humidity leaking into the room and it's upstairs where most heat rises. I also just watched your Bella video and was wondering does it prefer the light and grow tent conditions? I just have one cutting and would hate to loose it. Actually putting it in a self watering pot right now. TY keep checking your site always for information and hopefully a cutting soon. 🌱💚
Hi Kristy, if your linearis starts going downhill then the grow tent should bring it around. I'm counting on that myself to get me through the winter with it; as for the Bella it also does better with the humidity as mine can look pretty sad in mid-winter, hanging in the regular house, but it will start picking up come spring.
For me, i treat it like Hoya Bella, it just loves staying wet, when dry it lost a lot of vines that dried up really bad but after keeping it wet it’s so plump and healthy ,,
It is so funny that there is so many different ways to take care of it! My plants get really dried out sometimes before I get a chance to water them, but it has not really hurt them. Glad your plant is doing so well!
Obviously you must have let it get way too dry, I also keep ALL MY HOYA damp, not wet & a volunteer Australia I had growing in another pot was watered every few days but never did I get them soggy. Also 2 balanced all that moisture I had a huge amount of light on it
@@lesliebegamkenefic5961 most of my Hoyas I let dry completely before watering, there’s few exceptions, this one linearis, Bella, lacunosa, and RETUSA, as for now the rest can go dry for days nothing will happen so yes I obviously let it dry out but it was a one time thing and I learned about it and now it’s loving life ❤️😜
Hi Doug! How are you? Thanks for the video! I have been looking for Hoya Linearis. That would look great in my DC knockoff trellis. Two concerns: 1.) I have seen many videos about this plant and it is a mealy bug magnet. Is this true? Have you had any problems? 2.) I have never seen one. Online it is very expensive for a small plant. Where did you buy your's? Thanks, Gerry HPEteacher 😎
@Meatpipe Thank you! Yes, Amanda from Planterina is great! I ordered a lot of plants from her website during the pandemic. Usually do not order online, due to damage to the plants. Planterina has great shipping. I will keep looking and hopefully I will find one locally. Have a good one, 😎
Hi Gerry, these plants are one of the few Hoyas that have been selling for reasonable prices on eBay this year; I think it is because the market is kind of saturated with them right now. For some people these things grow like weeds, and they seem to have them on Etsy and eBay continually. I got mine from a woman who sent me one out of the blue in the summer of 2019 as she wanted me to try it again. Knock on wood I have never had a mealy bug on mine and it would indeed be tough to treat it; I would probably throw mine out if it got infested.
I saw that you planted a few Hoyas in lechuza pon. I’ve had tons of success with thicker leaved Hoyas in pon and just got a stunning linearis and heard they have somewhat different requirements. Have you tried growing them in pon or heard from anyone doing so? I’m really nervous about testing it out without hearing from anyone but after the others did so well it feels like the right decision.
Truthfully I do better with my linearis in soil letting it get very dry and soaking it. I tried growing it in leca and it did not work well for me, but I have not tried it in Pon. It may work, as Pon can do miracles for some Hoyas, but I have not done well with Pon if there is a reservoir like in semi-hydro; It will rot the roots in a hurry if the stuff stays too wet.
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas Thanks! I've been using pon in regular pots with drainage holes, without a reservoir, so it gets quite dry between watering. Maybe I'll test it out on a cutting first.
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas @Doug Chamberlain Of my hoyas, I've got a compacta, australis, and a longifolia in pon in regular pots and they're doing really well. I've had the compacta for about 6 months and it wasn't really declining but it never looked really good either. Once it was in pon it seemed like it got the hydration it didn't fully get before but also dried out well in between waterings and looks like a different plant now. I guess I water it every 10 days or so. I kept following the advice to water hoyas rather less than more but then I realized the leaves were getting a bit too soft, so I think 10 days. I can imagine it'll be every week as it gets sunnier. The australis gets a bit more sun so its leaves get softer faster than I expected and it perks right back up after watering. I guess it's every week or so, but I think I'll move it away from the window a bit as it seems to prefer that in my conditions, then I can imagine watering will be about every ten days like the other one. I do, however, have a rather sunny and oddly dry apartment (although I live in a less sunny city) and south-facing windows. I have all my aroids in pon and they're all thriving. Often they have a week or so of just not growing while they adjust, then they take off. Some take off immediately (like they were liberating from their previous situations). Pothos and monstera really look reborn, philodendrons and anthuriums, too. I water them once a week in winter now. They show signs of thirst if I wait any longer in my conditions. I'm testing orchids in some generic brand, somewhat chunkier substrate that consists of the same ingredients as pon (but without fertilizer). So far they look alright but they take longer to react. My zz remained too moist in a darker spot so I stopped using pon for it. I'm testing a desert rose now that's in full sun. Although I was fairly certain finer rooted plants wouldn't do well, I tested a fittonia and it never recovered. I've also had mixed reactions from philodendron verrucosums. One had hardly any roots and the pon helped it grow new roots and it's thriving. Another older one hated the transition, but they have much finer roots than other aroids and are quite sensitive in general. For the plants I'm hesitant to transition to pon, I've started using a good handful of pon in the soil instead of e.g. perlite for good aeration and drainage and they seem to be reacting well, too, and it has the benefit that it won't float to the top over time like perlite. All in all, I kind of treat them like my plants in soil. The same genuses are on the same watering schedule (whether in soil or pon) and get the same amount of water. I just dump out the excess that drains out of the bottom of the ones in pon afterwards.
@@aniliname That information was extremely helpful, and I really appreciate all of the detail. I have found that it has saved some plants of mine from death. I have a darwinii, that is an impossible to grow Hoya, that I put into a 2 inch pot of Pon, and it is now 3 feet long. My problem has always been telling when to water as you can't really tell by using the finger in the soil test so it has all been guess work on my part. I will start trying to water when the plant leaves seem a little soft and see how they respond. I am generally a compulsive waterer so it is hard for me. If I might ask, where are you sourcing your Pon? I am having a really hard time finding it and have been really saving my limited supply.
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas thank you so much. Mine has root rot and not for the first time so I need to do something asap. I appreciate your quick response🙏🏻
@@1101naomi The best of luck with your linearis. It readily re-roots in water. It is a very hard to understand species. I had one hanging outside all summer that got to be huge, even being almost constantly soaked from the one of our wettest summers on record. It never developed root rot, but for some reason indoors, they can get root rot in a hurry. I have no idea why?
Thanks Doug, ! Would love to see how the linearis does on the trellis. I hope mine survives winter....for rooting with aluminum foil, when you poke cutting in the foil do they go into the water or stay above water? Thanks!
I use a lot of these: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B4GQ6MO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 LEDs are getting cheaper and better all the time so it is hard to say what works best. I am intrigued by the new LED fixtures that use no cooling fan.
Thank you so much for the linearis tips, especially the note about humidity! This will be my first winter with it and hopefully it'll survive. Do you happen to sell any of your hoyas other than on eBay?

what humidity is "extra" we have a whole house humidifier and the house is at 45% most of the winter.
45% would be tolerable for linearis, but it would be happier at 55-60%, but then you start worrying about mold in a house during the winter.
