I just bought my very first Hoya, 2 days ago. It was hidden among other hanging baskets and its a Hoya Carnosa. It has a strip of verigated leaves so it looks super pretty. Time will tell if I'm a good Hoya Mama but the timing of this video is spot on!!
Love your hoyas! 😊 Mine favourite is probably serpens, it's growing so fast and putting out peduncles so 🤞 I can't wait to see the blooms 🥰 But I really love them all, they are so collectable 💚
I just found a variegated hoya compacta at my local hardware store for $8!!! I couldn't believe it 😍 I also recently got a hoya kroniana super silver. I love hoya so much.
I recently went through a really bad depression spell and fell out of love with my plants however I've been watching your videos, I'm feeling much better and now I'm ready to get back into my plants ❤️ I lost alot through that time but now I want tonnes of Hoya 🤣🤣
Fern! I absolutely adore your name. 🥰 So pretty, so lovely. This video on your Hoya is FREAKING AWESOME!! Yes! I love it! Love seeing your Hoya varieties…how and where you grow them, your care tips and your perspectives on each of them. I really admire your videos, your plant collection, and the vibe and energy you bring to your channel. You’re incredible! Thank you for sharing! Thank you for always posting badass content. I look forward to each of your videos and IG posts! Planty and Lifey content ! Hah! And your cutie puppers! THAT HOYA HEUSCHKELIANA VARIEGATA IS A STUNNER! She is a sexy beast! That variegation gets me every time. I’m such a sucker for variegation.
I definitely think of you in relation to Hoya. Everybody has a philo obsession, but your Hoya collection is what stands out and sticks with me the most.
I know this video is already a year or more old but I still wanted to chime in that my Hoya carnisa is also a BEAST. Loooow maintenance, grows as if by magic, blooms constantly. Mine came from HD with a mix of classic and queen and also has two vines of pure white leaves. I love that plant. But more than that plant I ADORE my Mathilde. That little thing is such a sweetie, cute plant. I. Adore. Her. She just chugs along. Propogates like a champ.
Yeeeees I love my krimson queen! She's been giving me flowers for the last month and has been putting off so many new shoots. Brings me so much joy. In the flower category I also have to give a shout out to multiflora, pretty prolific and really unique flowers. I agree about the sunrise being a fast grower. A friend gave me a 2 leaf cutting in a tiny 1.5 inch nurse pot not long ago and it's already trippled the leaf count. I'd also shout out the sp. burtoniae as a fast grower. I cannot believe how much mine has grown over the winter and it's picked up even more speed now that the days are longer.
Fern, you are so funny! I love that it took everyone telling you that you are obsessed with hoya for you to realize it 🤣 My favorite Hoya is definitely my sunrise, and for yours I super recommend chopping and propping! They root so fast especially in moss in a prop box. I cut mine and put it in a prop box and it literally had root started the next day, same with my polyneura!
The orchid mist you use, do you use it on cuttings too your rooting or that have freshly new roots? Or is this just for mature Hoyas? Thanks so much in advance loved this video! I’m all about Hoya! There my favorite 🥰🪴
Glad to hear you're making your own Orchid / Hoya spray. I've watched you and Firefly in the room talk about how wonderful the results are so I looked it up. A website called Garden myths called-out the Orchid spray as BS and recommended a diluted tomato fertilizer as a much less expensive option. Also desert plants of Avalon recommends tomato fertilizer for epiphytic cacti. I really enjoyed this video.
Oh Lordy! I have been researching like crazy to find an a 'recipe' for a DIY version! Store bought orchid spray is so expensive for the small amount you get. I knew there has to be a way to do it myself. What is your mixing ratio?
@@TheConfusedhero I just eyeball it and heavily dilute tomato fertilizer depending on the plant I'm using it on. There's more detail on Garden myths.com. just Google "Miracle-Gro orchid fertilizer Gardenmyths.com"
I can confirm that. My orchids barely gave me any flowers when i used the spray. So I was kinda gave up and just gave them whatever i had in hand which was tomato fertilizer....and Boom........they all put out big flower spikes , some bloom twice. my polychilos phal put out 4 spikes this year🥰. My hoya mathilde and thomsonii seem to go berserk as well 🤔or it's just their characteristic? I'm new to hoya. I use tomato fertilizer for all of my plants . I diluted 4x the regular strength for orchids and hoya.
I didn't really thought much about Hoyas but yesterday I found the most beautiful krimson queen, for 19 reais (about around 6 dollars I believe) and I'm sooooo in love with her 😍 she really got my heart
Not Hoya related, but I would loooveee a video talking about crawling philodendron!! I've been growing more and more interested in them, but all of mine are growing up poles :)) love uuuu
I just got a krimson queen and a carnosaa and I’m so excited to see them grow. My compacta is putting off a tiny vine, I cannot wait for mine to be big like yours! Ps I love you fern 🥹 my favorite person in the plant community
You are so beautiful so pretty your eyes are so gorgeous sorry I know I’m supposed to look your plant but I can’t stop look at you don’t worry I’m like your grandma I’m 60 years old woman I’m not a weirdo just want to tell you how beautiful you are ❤
I LOVE the look of other people's hoyas but whenever I try one They do nothing or the new growth dies off. So frustrating. I am trying to keep a Queen and a Black Margin alive right now, pray for us, ha!
just a note on the linearis: if you’re gonna make longer cuttings (like 3-4 nodes and above) then you should water propogate them, but single node cuttings will die if you try water propogation. i just stick them in the pot and they take off!!
I got my Hoya linnearis in March and it’s about 4 feet long and it’s practically spilling out of its plastic 8inch pot. I bought it on Etsy for $80 and was expecting it to be small…imagine my surprise when I opened up the box to find such a massive one. It hangs on my shower bar by a window.
Hi Watching from NZ. I have one Hoya when I was bought 6yrs ago they said it's Hoya Carnoza I was excited to see Blooming Flowers . But glad to say it's not a Hoya Carnoza it's a Hoya Hawaiian Purple 😅
And It's really so bigger and longer my Hoya Hawaiian Purple I take outside because it's so really huge and longer and it's starting to bloom the Flowers just this month
You actually just got me to buy my very first Hoya!~ (I have a few cuttings but they are too small to appreciate yet) I could not understand the hype about them but the crimson queen really caught my attention. Just ordered one from Steve's Leaves. I hope I love it as much as you love yours! Thanks for the video (even though I ended up spending money that I really shouldn't have! 😆🤣)
Loved this video so much! Great information and tips throughout the video along with seeing your beautiful Hoyas. A perfect plant video! Many thanks for this and all that you do! 👏👌🪴🥰
So glad to find you today & I look forward to viewing your previous clips too...😊 You're the best with sharing the information as you did about this AMAZING plant called Hoya ❤ I have acquired 6 various types & the first one has started blooming.... They're truly gorgeous in bloom. But I'm still learning about them and the Trellising you mentioned is my most important aspect, to follow... So THANKS HEAPS for your cool presentation ✨️💛✨️
Any large leaves Hoya is going to be my favourite. If it is variegated or better splashy, I am in plant heaven 😀 However I do have soft spot for Obovata splash and The Lisa. You are the first I’ve heard explaining Hoya watering that way and you are absolutely right. I do not know about very old Hoyas but the young ones need more water then what people have been recommended. I almost lost my 2 first Hoyas because I was following the “ Let dry out before watering or water when lower leaves are wrinkled. Thank you
recently picked up a krohniana *super silver* and you are absolutely correct! growing so fast. got super lucky and found a 4 inch pot with 5-6 trailing vine/tendrils (for $20, insanely cheap) and each of the vines is already growing in with so many leaves! absolutely cannot wait for this one to bloom! hope to find the krohniana black soon.
I have a Hoya Australis Lisa and can confirm that the variegation is similar to the Heuschkeliana. I would loooove a Heuschkeliana but I’ve never seen one here in Puerto Rico, same goes for Alocasia Dragonscale. Hopefully I’ll be able to find them soon.
I agree with you on liking many of the common varieties. Like, pubicalyx is my absolute favorite. I tend to prefer the blade like leaved ones, pubicalyx, sheperdii, wayetii, etc. However, I did luckily find both krimsons , princess and queen, at Kroger, and they are so rewarding,the best growers. They make me love them, too.
Hi Fern! Do you have a video on/ or can you tell me what camera you use for videoing? I love how your camera focuses on the plants so well and you are such an inspiration for me!
Concerning blooms there are also Hoya David Cummingii, Hoya Memoria and Hoya Lockii. They don't stop blooming. They bloom and rebloom and really go nutts on the blooms. The first two have a heavy, sweet scent which is quite strong, so mind that. It reminds you of caramel, but also fruit yoghurt about to go bad. The Caudata is an eager bloomer once you got her to bloom. Mine likes a couple of hours of direct sun light and frequent watering. She has flowered her first peduncle and immediately started budding back up. She's also working on several other peduncles. The second one will bloom any day now. Her flowers are even more adorable in person than they are in photos. Just a bliss to have them 😊
I trellised my Hoya compacta! It totally works but they’re heavy so it requires a lot of leverage & attention as it grows. Absolutely beautiful though!
I saw a 4m long and really full Hoya Linearis basket at a gardencenter last week. It was so amazing! Just super long and full😍😍😍 sadly my seelings aren't high enough 😂
Thank you for saying that about watering Hoya!! I never let my Hoya get wrinkly and just water when the soil is dry. It’s worked for me and then for years
I totally got Hoya compacta because of you!!! 1 normal and 1 outer variegated. (I also killed a mauna loa 😐😰)BUT the 2 survivors both took a full year to start growing! I love them both so much and I was sooo excited to finally see the new growth.
This video was super helpful thank you. My boyfriend and me are on a quest to buy our first baby hoya. We love their bloom so much. I can't wait to share with him what i learn from you. Have a nice day.
i bought myself a hoya just yesterday! im new to plant parenthood, but i figured if i can keep a spider plant alive, hoyas were the next step! luckily, the hoya was on sale! i might go back for the other one because there were two...
You could always cut a section of you your sunrise off and prop it too make your pot fuller. I have ours growing right up against a west facing window. The plant looks so fabulous sunstressed and is already putting out blooms. The blooms are pretty but honestly I'm mostly loving the colours of her sunstressed leaves❤
Thank you for your video I was for the name for one of the Hoya I have & don’t know the name but I think now I know after watching your video I think #4 plant with big dark leaves Bloom with fuzzy flowers thanks
I love all Hoyas. I have 4. The regular green carnosa. I got one and grew one from that. I have two tri color that I put in one pot. It is lovely variegated. Both have grown for me really well
I recently got my first bella and her newest leaves already dried out from the nursey xD Im hoping she'll bounce back soon I wanna see her blooms they look like tiny jelly beans so I was going to name her Jella. :) also Im in alberta and I finally found a variegated Wayatii yesterday and im so excited xD ive been looking for like 6 months
Did I hear you say you grew/rescued one of the Hoyas you showed from a leaf? I picked up 2 fallen hoya leaves from a plant shop a month ago (I didn’t pick them off the plant, wouldn’t do that and don’t condone that!). I wasn’t sure if it would work but I had to try putting them in soil to see if they would root - if I could propagate two different Hoyas for free from single leaves I would feel so happy and accomplished. A month later I can see a live root with one of the leaves (and felt it was attached) and it’s not just pulling loose when I gently tug it. I don’t have a visual yet on roots for the other, bigger leaf, but it likewise isn’t just yanking out with gentle tugging. Actually, the 2nd bigger one just had a minor fall but I easily fixed it back up, but while some soil fell loose, the leaf did not, and felt like it was attached to something in the remaining soil. And of course both leaves are still green and like…look alive? I know when I’ve tried to propagate some Peperomia leaves direct into soil they will turn black and clearly dead if they don’t take, while the ones that root stay green, alive. It would just be very cool to grow two new Hoyas for free and basically from scratch. Also, another local shop recently told me they sell cuttings of some of their plants, like bigger ones of shop plants that gotta be pruned anyway, and they had another variety of Hoya cuttings actually meant for propagating for a few bucks so now I’ve also got a water propagation (with roots from the aerial points already growing but not near the base of the cutting😅) and another soil propagation, although with some stem and nodes so hopefully just as, if not more likely to succeed. Ok I’m done rambling.
Hi there I love your channel. Just a question are hoya compacta quite resilient against Insects and is it easier to kill them. I feel like the Insects hide better with curled up leaves it seems prone to spider mites and mealy bugs. How have you found this plant quite manageable. I would love a Compacta but im just a bit scared ?? Kind regards if you reply
yes, unfortunately Hoyas are prone to flat mites, that is how they're called, or aka false spidermite (Tenuipalpidae) because they closely resemble spider mites (family Tetranychidae) or as flat mites because their body is rather flat compared to other mites.
I just ordered a Hoya carnosa albomarginata and their are like no videos on it so I’m scaredddd😂😂😂 I had a Hoya before from a starter pack I got so that’s when I discovered I actually like them.
I have a compacta that is bigger and larger than yours that I found in Florida last year (I flew home in my my carry-on, lol). I have tried to trellis it in a few different ways, and it just doesn't work as the trails do not grab onto anything and just flop. Right now I have it sitting on a shelf cause she's so heavy.
how do you get your linearis to be so plump!? it's beautiful. I have one and it looks emaciated and I am not sure what i'm doing wrong. It's under a grow light, i keep it moist and occasionally have a humidifier running. i recently am trying to dry it out a bit more between waterings. Should i be doing somehting else? please help. thank you
I’ve been looking for that exact Krohniana. I have a couple super silvers and I don’t prefer it honestly. I love that deep green with the splash of silver. It’s hard to find where I am all I can find is super silver
Your hoya Compacta looks stunning!! Mine got infested with bugs and died. I may have over watered i too since I was newbie. I would like to try again someday.
oml just checked on etsy they have the silver splash but way out of my price budget, wow 70 to 100 dollars for a tiny cutting, geesh, i would love one of those but cant afford that one for sure
nice presentation. I have something today. My collections like the “ queen “ is quiet sensitive also my bella. They have been with me for more than a year and they are not growing. I feelfrustrated.
hello can you tell me why the leaves of my Joya just down and empty it looks like they’re dry but they still look the same but I could see that not life and it what should I do? I gave her water still the same I spray water on her, still the same tell me what to do. Thank you.
And I change that the soil for it put it back in two weeks ago but nothing changed. Still looking down the leaves and it’s empty is there’s not juice and it help me with it please
@@wildfern maybe anthurium? Idk how many you have but as far as I can tell they generally (like all over social media) don't get as much press as the other types
What's your favourite Hoya?! Let me know 🌿
Whichever one I'm looking at ATM lolol
But Bella is the one who always immediately comes to mind as my favorite
Omg right now my favourite is my Hoya Pubicalyx splash. Shes putting out new leafs like beast! 🌿
I just bought my very first Hoya, 2 days ago. It was hidden among other hanging baskets and its a Hoya Carnosa. It has a strip of verigated leaves so it looks super pretty. Time will tell if I'm a good Hoya Mama but the timing of this video is spot on!!
I love my Hoya Rotundiflora 🌸🌸
Love your hoyas! 😊 Mine favourite is probably serpens, it's growing so fast and putting out peduncles so 🤞 I can't wait to see the blooms 🥰 But I really love them all, they are so collectable 💚
Our Hoya Bella currently has a dozen blooms currently. This plant has been handed down and was started in the 1930’s.
And I thought our Crassipolata of 30 years was old. Wow
😯 that's incredible!
😮
Hoyas aside... You look and sound so beautiful, calm, healthy, healed... So happy to see you this way! Love your content anyway
I just found a variegated hoya compacta at my local hardware store for $8!!! I couldn't believe it 😍 I also recently got a hoya kroniana super silver. I love hoya so much.
Omg that’s amazing!! 👏 enjoy them!
That is so awesome!!
Was the super Siver also $8.
@@nu5045 No I paid $40 for the super silver at a plant shop!
Were are your hardware store at!
Kind of a relief to know I'm not they only Hoya wingnut out there.
I recently went through a really bad depression spell and fell out of love with my plants however I've been watching your videos, I'm feeling much better and now I'm ready to get back into my plants ❤️ I lost alot through that time but now I want tonnes of Hoya 🤣🤣
My Hoyas are a hit or miss right now. You’ve inspired me with the care tips. Thank you. Loving your hairdo and eye makeup.
Love your Hoya heuscaliana variegata. Can you share light and care tips. Thank you 🙏
I love my hoya macrophylla variegata it grows very well twisting and wrapping around itself, and the leaves are such a fun big size!
Fern! I absolutely adore your name. 🥰 So pretty, so lovely.

Could you do a video, if you haven’t already, on how to propagate the hoya compacta, please? Every time I try, mine rots.
Edited for spelling.
I love how dark and thick your Hoya linearis is. Mine is so “fine”. Hoping I can figure out what it needs. 💚

Hoyas aren't v common where I live in the UK so I have yet to get one! Thanks for the recommendations though, I will keep these in mind!!
You could order online especially if you have Etsy over there in the UK.
Hi Watching from NZ. I have one Hoya when I was bought 6yrs ago they said it's Hoya Carnoza I was excited to see Blooming Flowers . But glad to say it's not a Hoya Carnoza it's a Hoya Hawaiian Purple 😅
I love my krimson queen too! I grew it from cuttings and it was my first hoya 4 years ago!
Don’t cut off the peduncles or the one. The peduncles rebloom if you leave them alone
And It's really so bigger and longer my Hoya Hawaiian Purple I take outside because it's so really huge and longer and it's starting to bloom the Flowers just this month
I loved this video! I hope you don’t mind me saying I wish you did a fuzzy category and a veiny category. Love your videos so much! ❤️🫶🏽
My hoya bella always has wrinkled leaves but it did give me a bloom this year

My Caudata Sumatra is finally getting big after 2 years and started with 2 leaves , what an interesting plant 🌱

I have a Hoya Australis Lisa and can confirm that the variegation is similar to the Heuschkeliana. I would loooove a Heuschkeliana but I’ve never seen one here in Puerto Rico, same goes for Alocasia Dragonscale. Hopefully I’ll be able to find them soon.

Your Hoyas look great. I love them,and have a number of different types. They also continuously. 🥰🌹👍
I absolutely love your Hoya videos it has inspired me to start collecting hoys
That is awesome to hear!!
Does the heuschkeliana need humidity? I’ve been struggling to get mine to grow 😕
Oh my gosh!! Your heuschkeliana!!! Mine is SO tiny! What conditions do you have yours growing in??
I saw a 4m long and really full Hoya Linearis basket at a gardencenter last week. It was so amazing! Just super long and full😍😍😍 sadly my seelings aren't high enough 😂

How about MOST FRAGRANT BLOOMS? Some smell heavenly, others like public restroom deodorizers. 😂
Love all my Hoyas but my Pubicalyx Royal Hawaiian Purple is my favorite. She’s so exotic and beautiful. Fast grower and easy to care for.
i bought myself a hoya just yesterday! im new to plant parenthood, but i figured if i can keep a spider plant alive, hoyas were the next step! luckily, the hoya was on sale! i might go back for the other one because there were two...

I am so with you on the Hoya Sunrise!!! It’s my fastest growing Hoya for sure💚💚💚
Omg this video came at the perfect time. Thinking of expanding my Hoya collection bc I’m so obsessed recently ☺️ Btw you are so gorgeous 😍
Thanks for your Hoya video. I enjoyed it and also the care tips.
My one and only hoya is a massive pubicalyx that I have on a bamboo trellis, but I have been wanting a really splashy obovata for so long!
I love all Hoyas. I have 4. The regular green carnosa. I got one and grew one from that. I have two tri color that I put in one pot. It is lovely variegated. Both have grown for me really well
Ive seen the compacta on a totem and I personally think it looks dumb😳
😹😹
I recently got my first bella and her newest leaves already dried out from the nursey xD Im hoping she'll bounce back soon I wanna see her blooms they look like tiny jelly beans so I was going to name her Jella. :) also Im in alberta and I finally found a variegated Wayatii yesterday and im so excited xD ive been looking for like 6 months
damn. maybe I should of got a hoya as a hanging basket instead of another pothos or heart philodendron variety.
Did I hear you say you grew/rescued one of the Hoyas you showed from a leaf? I picked up 2 fallen hoya leaves from a plant shop a month ago (I didn’t pick them off the plant, wouldn’t do that and don’t condone that!). I wasn’t sure if it would work but I had to try putting them in soil to see if they would root - if I could propagate two different Hoyas for free from single leaves I would feel so happy and accomplished. A month later I can see a live root with one of the leaves (and felt it was attached) and it’s not just pulling loose when I gently tug it. I don’t have a visual yet on roots for the other, bigger leaf, but it likewise isn’t just yanking out with gentle tugging. Actually, the 2nd bigger one just had a minor fall but I easily fixed it back up, but while some soil fell loose, the leaf did not, and felt like it was attached to something in the remaining soil. And of course both leaves are still green and like…look alive? I know when I’ve tried to propagate some Peperomia leaves direct into soil they will turn black and clearly dead if they don’t take, while the ones that root stay green, alive. It would just be very cool to grow two new Hoyas for free and basically from scratch. Also, another local shop recently told me they sell cuttings of some of their plants, like bigger ones of shop plants that gotta be pruned anyway, and they had another variety of Hoya cuttings actually meant for propagating for a few bucks so now I’ve also got a water propagation (with roots from the aerial points already growing but not near the base of the cutting😅) and another soil propagation, although with some stem and nodes so hopefully just as, if not more likely to succeed. Ok I’m done rambling.
Trellis that Sunrise!! It'll look so beautiful with it all sun-stressed!
Hi there I love your channel. Just a question are hoya compacta quite resilient against Insects and is it easier to kill them. I feel like the Insects hide better with curled up leaves it seems prone to spider mites and mealy bugs. How have you found this plant quite manageable. I would love a Compacta but im just a bit scared ??
Kind regards if you reply
Hi Fern! Your hoya krimson queen is gorgeous! How do you get such dark green leaves? Thanks! Kat 🌿🌿🌿
yes, unfortunately Hoyas are prone to flat mites, that is how they're called, or aka false spidermite (Tenuipalpidae) because they closely resemble spider mites (family Tetranychidae) or as flat mites because their body is rather flat compared to other mites.
I just ordered a Hoya carnosa albomarginata and their are like no videos on it so I’m scaredddd😂😂😂 I had a Hoya before from a starter pack I got so that’s when I discovered I actually like them.
I have a compacta that is bigger and larger than yours that I found in Florida last year (I flew home in my my carry-on, lol). I have tried to trellis it in a few different ways, and it just doesn't work as the trails do not grab onto anything and just flop. Right now I have it sitting on a shelf cause she's so heavy.
how do you get your linearis to be so plump!? it's beautiful. I have one and it looks emaciated and I am not sure what i'm doing wrong. It's under a grow light, i keep it moist and occasionally have a humidifier running. i recently am trying to dry it out a bit more between waterings. Should i be doing somehting else? please help. thank you
I’ve been looking for that exact Krohniana. I have a couple super silvers and I don’t prefer it honestly. I love that deep green with the splash of silver. It’s hard to find where I am all I can find is super silver
I've never seen a Hoya in my country. So not sure if we have them. I love seeing yours. Have a wonderful weekend enjoy.
You could order on line, especially if you have Etsy where you are.
We are not allowed to import live plants to my country. We can buy seeds.
Always enjoy your videos 🥳 I love ALL the Hoyas!!!!!
Your hoya Compacta looks stunning!! Mine got infested with bugs and died. I may have over watered i too since I was newbie. I would like to try again someday.
Your Krimson Queen looks sooo happy🤩
What is the name of the hoya that you compared to theAustralis Lisa...that one is beautiful..is it available in USA?
oml just checked on etsy they have the silver splash but way out of my price budget, wow 70 to 100 dollars for a tiny cutting, geesh, i would love one of those but cant afford that one for sure
nice presentation. I have something today. My collections like the “ queen “ is quiet sensitive also my bella. They have been with me for more than a year and they are not growing. I feelfrustrated.
Wait! WHAT is the first varigated variety? You didn't identify it, did you??? So pretty!
Do you have Discord? I need a Community with same interests, and we know what it is.
hello can you tell me why the leaves of my Joya just down and empty it looks like they’re dry but they still look the same but I could see that not life and it what should I do? I gave her water still the same I spray water on her, still the same tell me what to do. Thank you.
What inch is your krimson queen? You still haven't repotted yet?
And I change that the soil for it put it back in two weeks ago but nothing changed. Still looking down the leaves and it’s empty is there’s not juice and it help me with it please
Did you transplant your new hoyas in a bigger pot immediately to give it a chance to grow more and faster
Oh man, I can't stand that compacta! It looks like the perfect place for mealy bugs and others to hide!
Do you have a video of your diy circular trellis? I would love to see how you made it
Yes! 👍🏼Same. Was hoping to see how to stabilize the wire in the soil??
Hoya Carnosa chelsea, the old fashioned green leafed ones, very hard to find these days, but i did find some thank goodness.
How u take care for insects or larvae in the plant.please ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Haha my Crimson queen is very friendly like yours and always has to grab on to me too😂
I love this video idea!
Can you do the same with different types of plants? 😍
Yes I could! Any suggestions? Thanks for watching 😊
@@wildfern Maybe Monstera since they have such different growth patterns 🌸
@@wildfern maybe anthurium? Idk how many you have but as far as I can tell they generally (like all over social media) don't get as much press as the other types
@@wildfern definitely Anthurium, I am obsessed with them 🤩
My compacta is on a trellis. It kept falling out of the pot...so I pinned it to a trellis after the 10th time😂
