When I subscribed to you like a few months ago, I only had three hoyas. Now I have 8 and two more are on their way as we speak. I didn't have a single begonia, and now I have 2 big ones and one cutting. Thanks, I guess 😂
I COMPLETELY agree! Prune those hoyas. Show them who’s the boss of THIS show. I don’t believe any of mine will ever bloom anyway so they may as well have the fullness and shape that I desire 😁.
BUT if you want to sound more "latin" it's actually pedi-CH-el (as in CHannel) 😀 I'll be making a series on plant pronunciation and (greek) etymology pretty soooon!!!
@UCRjGbWm25MaUd3VLuJpPtYg well there is no right or wrong really, from my research on this series, one thing I learnt for sure is that every language evolves, especially a semi dead language such as Latin (semi because Italian are super similar). In fact the word pedicel derives from the latin diminutive form of the word pedem, which in turn derived from the ancient greek word pous or podi (in modern greek), which means little foot!! 😄 Gaaah both my latin and ancient greek teachers would laugh so hard at me right now, lol!!!!!! 😂
You and your hoya plants are so damn adorable! I was smiling throughout especially when you went "sniP!" Tysm for this lovely entertaining tutorial 💗 now it's not intimidating to prune my mature 3 hoyas, they've become very leggy😁
I finally own SIX different hoya varieties, but most of them are so so so tiny, and I'm just looking forward to them growing!! Then I might consider pruning them!! Great video!!!!
Discovering hoyas REALLY IS EXCITING! I know EXACTLY what you mean about not caring what they are. Each one is STILL so unique! I hope you enjoy every single day with your hoyas! 🌾💜
@@margiemcpeak9304 hoyas have steadily been on my top wishlist plants ever since I started getting plants. Unfortunately we could only find carnosa here, because it's well acclimated outdoors in the mediterranean climate, but that was pretty much it. After some searching, some luck and because I kept asking the nursery employees I am now a proud owner of a few more species and loving them!!

Hi Betsy! Huge fan. Your channel’s been a huge stress reliever for me. I love “watching” your videos at work while I’m doing mindless data entry. I have a question unrelated to this particular video! I am currently living in NW Indiana with a collection of about 10 plants or so. I plan on moving across the country to the west coast not long from now and would love some tips on traveling with houseplants or if that’s something that’s even possible! Did you travel to Europe completely void of plants? What do you plan on doing with your plants if you move? Thank you so much in advance!
I didn't bring any plants to Europe, I only had one and gave it to a friend. We moved last year and I just packed my plants in a box to prevent them from jiggling around, put them in the truck, and went.
You know what I'm realizing? Your videos are becoming permissions. First, drinking vino while doing planty things, now pruning. Don't even try to stop me!
Your carnosa is so tiny! It's precious. That was my first hoya, about 20+ years ago. I have so much of the stuff I can't give it away. 4 pots super bushy about 6' long. The longest it ever got was 15 feet. I've pruned my hoyas but I stick them in soil with the air roots intact. When they start to show buds, I know they are growing. Also you know they do well because the leaves aren't wilting or shriveling.
thegazette, if you're serious about giving them away, I'll GLADLY help you out by accepting any & all plant gifts! Also, if you decide to SELL any hoyas, I'm listening! Do you grow any other hoyas or just carnosa? Would you please consider sharing with me the soil mixture that you use for your hoya plants? I'm not kidding. I'm serious! Thank you in advance. Plant Love! 🌾💜
@@margiemcpeak9304 Sure, you can have my carnosa, just cover shipping. I can send you clipping, as my current rooted cast offs are about 6' now and now I kinda like them, but if you are in the US, I can send you some long clipping.

OMG I feel like everything I ever did with my cuttings was wrong. Haha. I got about 6 cuttings from a neighbor. So far, only one has rooted. So I re-cut a few of them but when I did, I put the node in the water. Ugh. I may have to re-cut again. At least I have one that I know worked. One is better than none!
This can be okay. Roots can come from the node as well. I have a Hoya carnosa cutting that I'm rooting in water. I twas submerged all the way up to the leaf and a root came out of the node where the leaf is growing.
@@betsybegonia Aww that makes me feel better! This hoya business is rough. I didn't even know they existed until about 6 months ago thanks to TH-cam! What's done is done! Now I am obsessed. :-)

Thank you so much, I learned more in this video just realising I owned a hoya, than I have in the dozens or so videos before hand. What a great way to start the day! Thanks again
I had been a subscriber for long and a silent learner !! May request you for a help ? I have 48 verities of HOYAs at my balcony . unfortunately i could never discover their Ids ? If i make a Video subject as Hiya IDs needed . Can you give me the IDs you know ? waiting for your response to make a video !! Thanks in advance !!
Hi Betsy! Thank you so much for this video! I need to repot some Hoyas and pot some cuttings. The Hoyas in pots aren't full and the stems are very long. I think I will prune them so I can add them for fuller plants. Do you know if it's okay to plant several different varieties together, or are they better off on their own? I'm not sure what variety they are. I think my biggest Hoya is a carnosa, but not totally sure. It is the only one I have that doesn't need repotted and is nice and full. It has flowered twice now and hoping for more flowers soon. I've heard that Hoyas don't like to be repotted, is this true? If you've already covered this, I don't remember ~ "old timers" disease..... :-) Also, I NEED to find a Hoya bella!
It's fine as long as their care requirements are the same. Like Hoya carnosa in its various forms and Hoya wayetii have the same care requirements so they could do okay together but I'd never put H. bella with H. carnosa because H. bella requires more water. Same with H. lacunosa, it needs a lot of humidity and doesn't like to dry out so much between waterings like H. carnosa.
I got my first Hoya a couple of weeks ago and have just been devouring care, history, etc. I understand why they are so loved. This helps so much thank you thank you
Hoyas require very bright, indiect light to bloom. It has nothing to do with being root-bound. Many people like to say that Hoyas "like to be root bound" and this helps initiate blooming but I've found no evidence to actually back up these claims. If I ever do, I will happily change my mind and the way I do things. So far my Hoya lacunosa and Hoya davidcummingii have bloomed twice in the past 5 months and neither are root bound plants.
Love your personality and the voices! I’ve watched a ton of videos on how to care for various plants and and they all seem so static. I learned and retained more from your video just because of how interesting and entertaining it was than I have for many other videos. Thank you, I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
So I accidentally killed my hoya kerrii roots 😢 and the plants five years old! Half the stem died so i cut it off. But, idk what to do with the rest of my plant. Im so sad 😭
oh how I love you Betsy Begonia! This video was very informative and hilarious!!! I think I just might prune one of my hoyas this weekend! And also, I love the word peduncle. :)
THANK YOU! You are brilliant, delightful & informative! In 1984 (39 years ago), I took cuttings from a dear friend's 2nd generation Hoya that she started from her mother's. 💖 Not only is mine still alive, it has produced healthy 3rd & 4th generations from that very plant! 🌿🌿🌿🌿 It's time to try for a 5th! 🌱🌿 Wish me luck! 🍀🤞🙏
Very helpful! I am new to plants and until this video, I didn't quite understand what was meant by cutting below the node and why. This explains so much. Thank you for the excellent instructions. Also very entertaining & fun to watch -- new fan here
Hey Betsy! Can you. make a video about how to prune? I am so scared to trim my rubber plant, stromanthe, prayer plant, etc! When should you prune? When not? SO SCARY
I recently made a video about pruning cane Begonia, but for now I simply don't have any other plants to prune. But as I go along, I will make videos about pruning when I feel that a plant of mine needs pruned.
Whoa girl! U r out there! But very informative. Wanting to trim my hindu rope plant, but never knew where to cut. Now...I DO! Thanx! No one else ive watched has actually shown me where to cut up close. Ur a winner! Keep it comin.
I absolutely love your delivery!! I’m Hoya crazy now after 8 years of having plants, I did NOT understand the hype. I totally get it now and after a year of growth my cuttings that I potted up together put out 3 peduncles!!
I have a Hoya carnosa that is. About 50 years old and climbing all over nearly covering our window. I inherited it from my mother who died at 92. She had it for as long as I can remember. Today, I am going to prune her down. Thank you for you video cause it gave me the courage. It use to bloom like nuts! But it hasnt bloomed in a few months.
I have 2 VERY OLD Hoyas from my grandmother whos been gone for some time. I've been afraid to cut because of "thinking" it will no longer bloom!! Now I feel so excited to cut these babies and share with my daughter in law ❤!!!
Gorgeous! They are very sensitive to overwatering and underwatering and prefer indirect light. With rex Begonia, it's just a matter of keeping a close eye on the plant. They can be a tough beginner plant, even I struggle with one of mine.
I have a very bushy Hoya Carnosa Variegated, I bought it a few days ago and most of its leaves are in bad condition (Broken in half, unappealing brown spots). Is it okay to cut off a leaf where it comes off the stem? Will a new leaf grow there?
Does my cutting have to have a leaf on it or can it just be a node, I have a Hoya with 2 long (4.5 feet 120-140 cm) vines. I will have a go but need to know whether I can use the foot long vine .. it has lots of bumpy bits on it and even peduncles on the nodes but no leaves?? Janet ( from a little place called Northcliffe in south west Western Australia
@@bonniesbestcreations6817 Not necessarily. Pruning it just encourages the plant to produce more new growth, like branches from lower down on the plant, which could produce flowers, which would help a Hoya create more flowers in the long term.
You’re so funny but very educational. I’ll be making cuttings. Mine is outside &!its humongous but no flowers. Wish I can send you pic so you can help me. Have no social media account at all. only email. Thanks for sharing
New subscriber and I’ve binge watched almost every video of yours today lol love this video! Your so funny and informative. I recently bought a rainbow fern/ peacock fern ( selaginella uncinata ) and I’m IN LOVE with him but I’m a bit of a plant newbie and desperately need your care advice. I love him so much and I want him to be happy and grow. If you could please make a video on them I’d so very much appreciate it. I also have a blue star fern ( Phlebodium aureum ) which I’m obsessed with too and any info on him would be great. Thank girl!! ❤️
My Calathea care video pretty much covers all Calathea, so you could check that out. As for the blue star fern, I haven't got one right now but maybe in the future.
Is a fern a type of Calathea? Lol I literally didn’t know that. I haven’t had luck at all with Calathea (I’ve killed about 3-4). So fingers crossed I can keep my selaginella uncinata alive 😩
My hoya is 49 years old. I have 4 that I made from cuttings. They are all over 40 years. They have only bloomed once. The plants are beautiful. I prune them but cannot get them to bloom .I have them in different like locations trying everything to get them to bloom. I have been patient but I think 40 years is a long time to wait
Yeah, general care works. I just got one and I'm obsessed with it already, and I love watching your videos! So a combination of those things would be awesome c:
QUESTION ! totally unrelated.. Can I have wax begonia year after year through propogation of 1 plant? Yes I got my first begonia CAUSE OF YOU! I wanted to start simple... Btw thank you for your videos!
Yes I think it should be possible. I personally had a problem propagating a cutting from a wax begonia... it rooted but it just wouldn't DO ANYTHING. I think I was too impatient. I needed to wait for spring. But instead I tossed it out because it was taking up precious shelf space.
I have 3 little hoya cuttings which have decided to become very long strings with few leaves beyond the string... Hopefully turning some of those into cuttings will them them stop being stringy!
I love your videos…..as you say it is important to have a node when you take a cutting . I thought the roots would grow out of the node , however you did not have the node under water just the stem. Where do the roots come from then. Ann from Ottawa
betsy if you need the hoyas to turn into a bush you need to take that plant put it in a big pot. so this is what i did i bought a plant that was small and then after a while i put that lil plant in a pot that was four times bigger then what i thought would not work. i use pebble ferterlizer and i pot on the bottom and the middle after i put the soil i use the soil that is made for succulents and they love that and after a the 8 month time now i have a bush plant now im trying to figure out how the plant got bushy so fast i know they happy. cuz now i have a few princess hoya and rope and krimson and chelsea so many plants i hope you have luck like i did the only thing im waiting on is bloom i love hoyas i spend to much on them. i just spend 160 on hoyas i was like i must be crazy. if you need more help to get bushes inbox me. happy plant
Thank you for the tutorial, my Hoya was taking over my living room. It was already a mature plant, when I got it some 40 years ago, and it is just a monster. I'm going to go snippety snip on it, and then all my friends can have Hoyas too ☺♥
Hi Betsy, thank you for being such a funny and informative teacher. Love the video, thank you for using centimetres rather than inches. I am going to prune my hoya tomorrow - yes, I've been really afraid of trying.
Only subscribed to you recently and loving your videos. I have always enjoyed having plants around my house but recently I got interested in Calathea, Alocasia etc etc and after watching your videos I now have my first Hoya which is a Hoya Bella. It has many vines and there are gorgeous flowers on one of them just now. The vines are all pretty long so I was thinking of taking cuttings and doing the same thing by rooting them and replanting them back into the same pot so your video was very helpful and timely for me. Thank you Avril
Learning plant anything is great but learning it from you is like the best ever. 😁 You make it even more enjoyable than it already is... 🙌 This was sooo informative as usual. Thank you! 💚
I love your videos, you're so comical! I have over 60 house plants but no hoya, soooo i'm going to go out and get started looking for hoya to add to my home! I'm so excited!
I have one baby hoya. This was very useful for future reference! I'm planning on getting another hoya with my next paycheck because my first seems to be doing really well on my windowsill (east). 😊
Bien sûr, and I think my lovely variegated hoya carnosa will thank you as well! Also, once roots begin to form, how long should I wait to pot them in the dirt with mama plant?
Your attitude so real Yes cut the damn plant Buddy gave me one leaf Two summers ago Ive pass on to 4 PEOPLE. Hoya..thats right i have 10 plants goin U can't have 1 u must have many
So you DON'T need to have the node in the water like most other plants? Just the stem? I have a Hoya Compacta i want to prune and propagate, would it be the same way? I feel i would have to remove some leaves because they are so close together on the stem...
I couldn't make it through even a fraction of this video because of your voice inflection. It drove me crazy. The way you were changing your voice trying to be funny was more irritating than anyting.
Your positivity is contagious only good vibe in your channel hoya carinosa is my dream plant unfortunately for me in my country Algeria in the north of Africa they just don't have it or I didn't find it each time some people bring some it's doesn't grow then she die 😥 I'm wondering where can I find some cutting thanks again 💐
To be honest most of my Hoya are very small plants that can't be cut yet. I prune my Hoya bella once in a while when she gets too long and starts getting in my way (she's above the couch now and I need to trim her up because her vines are almost touching it, and she used to be above my sink and I'd prune her stems when she began getting involved with the dishes). I was going to prune my Hoya davidcummingii but I just discovered yesterday that it's putting out pedicels and will bloom so I'll wait til after it blooms.
I took a cutting of my Hoya crimson princess because it was damaged before I got it. I cut off the damaged part- added rooting hormone and planted it. 2 days later and it’s all soft and wilted... 😬 can I save it?!

Hi Betsy! Thank you so much for this video! I need to repot some Hoyas and pot some cuttings. The Hoyas in pots aren't full and the stems are very long. I think I will prune them so I can add them for fuller plants. Do you know if it's okay to plant several different varieties together, or are they better off on their own? I'm not sure what variety they are. I think my biggest Hoya is a carnosa, but not totally sure. It is the only one I have that doesn't need repotted and is nice and full. It has flowered twice now and hoping for more flowers soon. I've heard that Hoyas don't like to be repotted, is this true? If you've already covered this, I don't remember ~ "old timers" disease..... :-) Also, I NEED to find a Hoya bella!
It's fine as long as their care requirements are the same. Like Hoya carnosa in its various forms and Hoya wayetii have the same care requirements so they could do okay together but I'd never put H. bella with H. carnosa because H. bella requires more water. Same with H. lacunosa, it needs a lot of humidity and doesn't like to dry out so much between waterings like H. carnosa.
I got my first Hoya a couple of weeks ago and have just been devouring care, history, etc. I understand why they are so loved. This helps so much thank you thank you
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed this.
So what conditions do hoyas need form their flowers? I thought it was when they were pot bound.
Hoyas require very bright, indiect light to bloom. It has nothing to do with being root-bound. Many people like to say that Hoyas "like to be root bound" and this helps initiate blooming but I've found no evidence to actually back up these claims. If I ever do, I will happily change my mind and the way I do things. So far my Hoya lacunosa and Hoya davidcummingii have bloomed twice in the past 5 months and neither are root bound plants.
You gave me the courage to trim my hoya. I have two cuttings that I have propogated which are now developing roots! Thank you!!
Love your personality and the voices! I’ve watched a ton of videos on how to care for various plants and and they all seem so static. I learned and retained more from your video just because of how interesting and entertaining it was than I have for many other videos. Thank you, I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
Finally, the video that answered all my questions. Straightforward propagation without a lot of fuss. Thank you!! Much appreciated.
So I accidentally killed my hoya kerrii roots 😢 and the plants five years old! Half the stem died so i cut it off. But, idk what to do with the rest of my plant. Im so sad 😭
oh how I love you Betsy Begonia! This video was very informative and hilarious!!! I think I just might prune one of my hoyas this weekend! And also, I love the word peduncle. :)
Thanks so much! I hope you have a good outcome. 🙂
THANK YOU! You are brilliant, delightful & informative! In 1984 (39 years ago), I took cuttings from a dear friend's 2nd generation Hoya that she started from her mother's. 💖 Not only is mine still alive, it has produced healthy 3rd & 4th generations from that very plant! 🌿🌿🌿🌿 It's time to try for a 5th! 🌱🌿 Wish me luck! 🍀🤞🙏
Very helpful! I am new to plants and until this video, I didn't quite understand what was meant by cutting below the node and why. This explains so much. Thank you for the excellent instructions. Also very entertaining & fun to watch -- new fan here
Hey Betsy! Can you. make a video about how to prune? I am so scared to trim my rubber plant, stromanthe, prayer plant, etc! When should you prune? When not? SO SCARY
I recently made a video about pruning cane Begonia, but for now I simply don't have any other plants to prune. But as I go along, I will make videos about pruning when I feel that a plant of mine needs pruned.
Betsy it doesn't feel okay 😭 I'm trying to figure out where to cut my obovata vine
The same place, same rule.
Once I got over my spazz fest I cut it and hopefully I'll be able to make a bushier obovata! Your video was very helpful!
Whoa girl! U r out there! But very informative. Wanting to trim my hindu rope plant, but never knew where to cut. Now...I DO! Thanx! No one else ive watched has actually shown me where to cut up close. Ur a winner! Keep it comin.
I'm so glad you found this useful, thank you for watching. 🙂
I absolutely love your delivery!!
I’m Hoya crazy now after 8 years of having plants, I did NOT understand the hype.
I totally get it now and after a year of growth my cuttings that I potted up together put out 3 peduncles!!
I have a Hoya carnosa that is. About 50 years old and climbing all over nearly covering our window. I inherited it from my mother who died at 92. She had it for as long as I can remember. Today, I am going to prune her down. Thank you for you video cause it gave me the courage. It use to bloom like nuts! But it hasnt bloomed in a few months.
I have 2 VERY OLD Hoyas from my grandmother whos been gone for some time. I've been afraid to cut because of "thinking" it will no longer bloom!! Now I feel so excited to cut these babies and share with my daughter in law ❤!!!
I've just started experimenting with pruning/cuttings. It's a little scary but my fingers are crossed!
It can be really scary at first, especially when you can't find good close-ups of where to cut.
Just got myself a “red robin” Rex begonia wondering if there’s a video that would help me mother it perfectly? 🙂
Gorgeous! They are very sensitive to overwatering and underwatering and prefer indirect light. With rex Begonia, it's just a matter of keeping a close eye on the plant. They can be a tough beginner plant, even I struggle with one of mine.
I have a very bushy Hoya Carnosa Variegated, I bought it a few days ago and most of its leaves are in bad condition (Broken in half, unappealing brown spots). Is it okay to cut off a leaf where it comes off the stem? Will a new leaf grow there?
Great tutorial...only problem is that now I may have to get some hoyas 😬
😂 And "some" eventually becomes 20.
@@betsybegonia Yep 😂 I remember several years ago saying "I want to get 'some' orchids." I think I'm at about 35 now 😬
Does my cutting have to have a leaf on it or can it just be a node, I have a Hoya with 2 long (4.5 feet 120-140 cm) vines. I will have a go but need to know whether I can use the foot long vine .. it has lots of bumpy bits on it and even peduncles on the nodes but no leaves??
Janet ( from a little place called Northcliffe in south west Western Australia
I have an old Hoya that is beautiful & healthy.
It only has 1 “peduncle” how can I encourage more flowers.
Thanks so much
Hoyas need bright, indirect light. The brighter the light, the more likely they are to produce flowers.
Betsy Begonia In do have it in a bright window. Does pruning it help to produce more flowers
@@bonniesbestcreations6817 Not necessarily. Pruning it just encourages the plant to produce more new growth, like branches from lower down on the plant, which could produce flowers, which would help a Hoya create more flowers in the long term.
I have a big Hoya that has a lot of branches that just end in bare vines and no flowers at all yet, Am I doing something wrong?
Thaaaaank you. I’ve been eyeing off one of my Hoyas knowing that it would benefit from a ✂️, now I feel confident to take the plunge!
Dive in!
You’re so funny but very educational. I’ll be making cuttings. Mine is outside &!its humongous but no flowers. Wish I can send you pic so you can help me. Have no social media account at all. only email. Thanks for sharing
New subscriber and I’ve binge watched almost every video of yours today lol love this video! Your so funny and informative.
I recently bought a rainbow fern/ peacock fern ( selaginella uncinata ) and I’m IN LOVE with him but I’m a bit of a plant newbie and desperately need your care advice. I love him so much and I want him to be happy and grow. If you could please make a video on them I’d so very much appreciate it.
I also have a blue star fern ( Phlebodium aureum ) which I’m obsessed with too and any info on him would be great.
Thank girl!! ❤️
My Calathea care video pretty much covers all Calathea, so you could check that out. As for the blue star fern, I haven't got one right now but maybe in the future.
Is a fern a type of Calathea? Lol I literally didn’t know that. I haven’t had luck at all with Calathea (I’ve killed about 3-4). So fingers crossed I can keep my selaginella uncinata alive 😩
@@begoniasarawak No, ferns are not the same as Calathea. But both usually require high humidity.
My hoya is 49 years old. I have 4 that I made from cuttings. They are all over 40 years. They have only bloomed once. The plants are beautiful. I prune them but cannot get them to bloom .I have them in different like locations trying everything to get them to bloom. I have been patient but I think 40 years is a long time to wait
🌟 learned something new today & now off to do what you just did here, thnxxxx!have an awesome weekend ms. betsy b.!
Good luck!
Please make a video on syngoniums!
Hm, I only have two tiny baby ones right now! What would you like to know about them? General care?
Yeah, general care works. I just got one and I'm obsessed with it already, and I love watching your videos! So a combination of those things would be awesome c:
@@meghanblewitt1258 They are beautiful plants! I wish mine were bigger!
QUESTION ! totally unrelated.. Can I have wax begonia year after year through propogation of 1 plant? Yes I got my first begonia CAUSE OF YOU! I wanted to start simple... Btw thank you for your videos!
Yes I think it should be possible. I personally had a problem propagating a cutting from a wax begonia... it rooted but it just wouldn't DO ANYTHING. I think I was too impatient. I needed to wait for spring. But instead I tossed it out because it was taking up precious shelf space.
I have 3 little hoya cuttings which have decided to become very long strings with few leaves beyond the string... Hopefully turning some of those into cuttings will them them stop being stringy!
I adore your goofiness! Hahaha! You make me laugh. So much more interesting to watch when I'm giggling and smiling. Keep it up.
I love your videos…..as you say it is important to have a node when you take a cutting . I thought the roots would grow out of the node , however you did not have the node under water just the stem. Where do the roots come from then. Ann from Ottawa
betsy if you need the hoyas to turn into a bush you need to take that plant put it in a big pot. so this is what i did i bought a plant that was small and then after a while i put that lil plant in a pot that was four times bigger then what i thought would not work. i use pebble ferterlizer and i pot on the bottom and the middle after i put the soil i use the soil that is made for succulents and they love that and after a the 8 month time now i have a bush plant now im trying to figure out how the plant got bushy so fast i know they happy. cuz now i have a few princess hoya and rope and krimson and chelsea so many plants i hope you have luck like i did the only thing im waiting on is bloom i love hoyas i spend to much on them. i just spend 160 on hoyas i was like i must be crazy. if you need more help to get bushes inbox me. happy plant
Thank you for the tutorial, my Hoya was taking over my living room. It was already a mature plant, when I got it some 40 years ago, and it is just a monster. I'm going to go snippety snip on it, and then all my friends can have Hoyas too ☺♥
Hi Betsy, thank you for being such a funny and informative teacher. Love the video, thank you for using centimetres rather than inches. I am going to prune my hoya tomorrow - yes, I've been really afraid of trying.
Only subscribed to you recently and loving your videos. I have always enjoyed having plants around my house but recently I got interested in Calathea, Alocasia etc etc and after watching your videos I now have my first Hoya which is a Hoya Bella. It has many vines and there are gorgeous flowers on one of them just now. The vines are all pretty long so I was thinking of taking cuttings and doing the same thing by rooting them and replanting them back into the same pot so your video was very helpful and timely for me. Thank you Avril
I'm really glad that this video helped! Thanks for watching, Avril. 🙂
Learning plant anything is great but learning it from you is like the best ever. 😁 You make it even more enjoyable than it already is... 🙌 This was sooo informative as usual. Thank you! 💚
Thank you so much, I'm so happy to hear you enjoy my videos.
😍😍😍😍😍😘😘 😘😘 😘😘 😘
You've made me brave ! Going in to prune my Hoyas... peduncle or not ! Lol !! Love your video's! Crazy Kansas plant Granny !!! 😉
Can you show us the rooting in water after you've pruned those 2 nodes?
I tried it earlier but it didn't work. Can you advise why?
I love your videos 🤣 very informative and friking funny!
Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad you enjoy!
I love your videos, you're so comical! I have over 60 house plants but no hoya, soooo i'm going to go out and get started looking for hoya to add to my home! I'm so excited!
Oh my, thank you so much. I’m very happy I found your videos, I cut my Hoya today and got really sad that I hurt her. 😂
The fear of pruning is no more. Thanks. Btw...You were in rare form when you filmed this. 😂 Never, ever change. Love it. Many blessings.
😂 Thank you. I'm glad you liked this.
You are so right. Some grower treat their Hoya Plants as if they are delicate. I find them tough as old boots as the saying goes.
OK so I did this and The branch is now turning yellow. Is that a bad sign or is it just a reaction to being cut and it will be fine?
Thank you! Would "banana water" be suitable for fertilizing hoya carnosa?
I have one baby hoya. This was very useful for future reference! I'm planning on getting another hoya with my next paycheck because my first seems to be doing really well on my windowsill (east). 😊
That's wonderful! I hope you get 10 more!
Hi from Singapore Betsy! You're fantastic! Just subbed!!!
I feel like the only reason you made this video is because you love saying peduncle so much 😂😄 love it 😄
My hoya variegata has bloomed, but the vine is so long. Can i prune that vine and replant it? Or should i leave it alone?
If Gilda Radner were to describe how to take care of Hoyas, she'd sound like you. (That's a compliment.)
That is AN AMAZING COMPLIMENT. Thank you!
Bien sûr, and I think my lovely variegated hoya carnosa will thank you as well! Also, once roots begin to form, how long should I wait to pot them in the dirt with mama plant?
Til the roots look nice and developed I guess! It's hard for me to say. 😂
Your are friggin hilarious.....and informative. I subscribed :D
Your attitude so real
Yes cut the damn plant
Buddy gave me one leaf
Two summers ago
Ive pass on to 4 PEOPLE. Hoya..thats right i have
10 plants goin
U can't have 1 u must have many
I like the cut of your jib.
No way was that root bound
Maybe not "QUITE" rootbound but it needed to be put in a different soil mix anyway and as it's a very hardy plant I chose this one for my example.
The manic energy in this is totally the energy i needed to inspire me to mutilate my stick-like hoya 😂❤
So you DON'T need to have the node in the water like most other plants? Just the stem?
I have a Hoya Compacta i want to prune and propagate, would it be the same way? I feel i would have to remove some leaves because they are so close together on the stem...
Correct, the node does not have to be submerged. It will put out roots along the stem.
I couldn't make it through even a fraction of this video because of your voice inflection. It drove me crazy. The way you were changing your voice trying to be funny was more irritating than anyting.
In the time it took you to write this comment, you could have stepped outside for a breath of fresh air. Imagine if we all did that now and then.
Your positivity is contagious only good vibe in your channel hoya carinosa is my dream plant unfortunately for me in my country Algeria in the north of Africa they just don't have it or I didn't find it each time some people bring some it's doesn't grow then she die 😥 I'm wondering where can I find some cutting thanks again 💐
I hope you can find one one day.
@@betsybegonia omg thanks for replying you make my day
how often do you end up pruning your hoyas? and do you leave the clippings propagating in bright light?
To be honest most of my Hoya are very small plants that can't be cut yet. I prune my Hoya bella once in a while when she gets too long and starts getting in my way (she's above the couch now and I need to trim her up because her vines are almost touching it, and she used to be above my sink and I'd prune her stems when she began getting involved with the dishes). I was going to prune my Hoya davidcummingii but I just discovered yesterday that it's putting out pedicels and will bloom so I'll wait til after it blooms.
I really love your channel!! The plant community will never be the same! 😅😍
I took a cutting of my Hoya crimson princess because it was damaged before I got it. I cut off the damaged part- added rooting hormone and planted it. 2 days later and it’s all soft and wilted... 😬 can I save it?!
Hm, it might be better to root it in water.
Which side of the cutting needs to be in the water? You did it on opposite sides in your video😊
i have a pedunkle that also has a dry piece extending to the air... can i cut off the dried piece?
