Nice and healthy hoyas you're growing. Your No1 is Mama in this garden - she is the survivor of a plant going back over a century. During the summer she wanted daily watering this year, and is a true magnificence now, bowing to November's light. Also, last year I began a ''princess'', promised to be the 'ruby' variety but thus far the gorgeous ruby colour morphs to the inner variegated yellow with dark green margins, though the stems are pinkish-brown. Hoping that spring will reinvigorate her ruby sap.💐
Totally agree that Australis is the easiest Hoya! My Australis Lisa got root rot TWICE within a month, but it still gives me blooms, new leaves and tonnes of new air roots. Just can’t be tougher 🤣
Hi Luke, I really appreciate all the comprehensive detail you give on each plant. I also like that you get to the point and stay on topic! Thank you! Where do you get your trellises from? My favorite for beginners is the Chelsea.
Awww yay! I tried to keep it succinct on this video for sure. I want a Chelsea myself but haven’t been able to track one down locally! Also, I got the trellises on Amazon. I will link them below for you: a SANXIA DIY Garden Plant Climbing Trellis, 12 Pcs Plastic Mini Superimposed Potted Plant Support Garden Trellises for Potted Climbing Plant Vines www.amazon.com/dp/B07XRK5DN8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_J54JBA4D7JHDV787ZFRF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Thanks for watching!!
I could be because of what the commenter below said: I have it facing down so maybe that is stunting growth? I untangled it so we should see soon hopefully!! Thanks for watching!
"The queen wears her veriegation like a crown The princess wears hers like a gown..." It's the rhyme that makes it easier to remember. There is no variety of Hoya with the word "splash" as part of it's name; i.e., there is no "Hoya pubiclayx splash". "Splash" is used to refer to the variegation which can occur, to varying degrees, on some species of Hoya. It's also used to raise the price.
Yay! I am a Hoya Head myself now - I just love how unique and different they are! They all have slightly different needs for sure. Keep trying and doing research and you will be well on your way! Thanks for watching Shirley! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For me personaly, I love Wayettii but they hard to keep in soil. It already treat it with everything people suggested. They always keep drop the leaf one by one. No pest, fungus etc happens -_-
Luke thanks for the beginner Hoya tips. I accidentally got hooked on them because I thought they were succulents. The thick waxy leaves got my attention... I now have 8 hoyas. I noticed you prefer licka. Do you find it easier than well draining soil?
Welcome to the Hoya club! I find (personally) my Hoyas do quite well in LECA, but it’s mostly just preference. I have a few in soil that do well, too. I made the switch to LECA a while back and just find it easier to care for than soil, plus it’s a good combatant against fungus gnats. I wouldn’t say it’s better or worse than soil, just different! Thanks for watching Dan!
@@LukeAntunes Thank you! Yes I am slowly building up my collection with the common ones I can find at the store. Not really ready for the pricey awesome veiny hoyas yet. I don't want to accidentally murder them with ignorance... the leca I'll have to try too. It seems to be a very nice alternative to soil.
@@LukeAntunes that would be great but among my plant friends, succulents are what they mostly have... Im the only one who has any Hoyas. So I just heavly browse the garden shops and box stores. I may try ebay to aquire my next one.
As a big Hoya collector, this drought tolerant line is not necessarily true, Hoyas with thicker leaves are more drought tolerant and Hoyas with thin leaves tend to to suffer if left to dry out. I am referring to ones with less waxy cuticle such as H. Flagellata which just feel paper thin or H. campanulata which is a thin leaf but has a waxy cuticle. Hoya erythrina I think might be the thinnest leaf. I've also found Kerri can be more temperamental and I treat like a true succulent. Bella would be my recommendation for first Hoyas as it blooms quickly.
Thanks for your feedback. Yes this is why I said “most” as there was an implied asterisks in my voice, but maybe that wasn’t obvious. Specifically the varieties discussed I find to be drought tolerant. Thanks for watching Fraser!
The australis is definitely the easiest Hoya that I've grown (although I find all of mine to be easy to grow). I grow mine outside, year-round in Ventura, CA. It slows way down in winter and all the new growth turns red in the low temps. I've had mine for a little over a year and I now have 2 flower spikes on it. BTW I also got mine from Home Depot lol
Nice! My Australis is almost growing too much 😂😂 it’s been exploding since I got it. She needs a repot as well but I don’t know where else she can grow haha thanks for watching!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Really thorough overview. And I appreciate your film work. Well framed and exceptional audio. How do you let them dry out in LECA? Do you let the nutrient reservoir dry up and wait a few days?
Thank you!! I take pride in the quality so that means a lot 🤩🤩 and good callout! I should’ve specified: I let the soil dry out (in my soil plants) but with LECA I just treat them as I normally would. I have accidentally let the reservoir dry up once or twice, and they did bounce back quite easily but I wouldn’t recommend it 😅😅😅 thanks for watching Steve!!

😂😂😂 hey at least it is still cranking for you!! Tanks for watching Gill!
Absolutely agree with the H. Carnosa Crimson Queen, and the H. Pubicalyx!
Yay! Glad you agree. Thanks for sharing your opinion, and thanks for watching Shonnie!
@@LukeAntunes Watching my second vid now! Keep them coming! 💚
Will do!! 🤗🤗🤗

love the light green walls with dark green leaves... looks great
Thank you! Glad you enjoy 🤗🤗 and thanks for watching!
I have found Hoya fairly easy and all of the plants you shared have been easy for me. Thank you 🙏🏻
Agreed! I find Hoya so easy overall. Thanks for watching Diana!
My hoya obovoata is one of my faster growing hoyas! Weird, haha. Love the video, keep it up!

Love your video. Yes to easy Hoyas
Thank you!! Gotta love the easy Hoyas 😂😂
Thank you for this video, I'm a new Hoya lover, just trying to learn what they like.and keep them thriving.
Yay! I am a Hoya Head myself now - I just love how unique and different they are! They all have slightly different needs for sure. Keep trying and doing research and you will be well on your way! Thanks for watching Shirley! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have these Hoya's and agree with you in these being easy but I miss Hoya Bella. She grows like crazy and is very easy blooming 😉
I have heard Bella is easy blooming. Just got some cuttings so we shall see how she does for me! Thanks for watching 😄😄
The pin king and now the plant king!!! Haha we have learned so much about plants and pins because of you! :)
Awww yay!! Y’all are too sweet. I’m glad I can provide some value for you two!! Thanks for watching as always friends!! 🤩🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For me personaly, I love Wayettii but they hard to keep in soil. It already treat it with everything people suggested. They always keep drop the leaf one by one. No pest, fungus etc happens -_-
Fun fact! The silver splashing on hoyas is actually tiny air bubbles under the top layer of leaf!
That is a fun fact!! Thanks for sharing!!
Cute hoyas!💚
Thank you so much!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Try swapping with friends for Hoya! And easy, low-cost option!

Thank you! Glad I can provide value to you. Thanks for watching Kathie! 👏🏻👏🏻
Careful with the one growing down. The vine may die. They like pointing up.
It is a cute leaf 🍃
Thank youuu! 🤩🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The problem with the hoya australis îs with the flowers, she make flower in fall , when the days are small then nights.
Ah yea so I have heard! Still waiting for mine to flower 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 thanks for watching!
As much as hoya love to be on a trellis, they do not like to grow upside down so never point a hoya tendril facing down or it will stunt it's growth.
Tanks for the tip!! I will adjust my obovata 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
These all pretty easy to get even in israel.
