As you all know, I have been restarting some of my Hoya recently, for several reasons, and I sometimes feel I don't explain it very well in those videos why I do it - so, I decided to dedicate one just for that!

I recently restarted a huge hanging lacunosa; I took the splashiest cuttings and they're rooting on a new trellis in a new pot. I could have made 300 lacunosas with the rest of the plant but it went in the trash because my husband also needs to live here.
A while back, I grew weary of the 10 year-old 5-foot tall trellised obovata because of the space it took up, so I cut it down to soil level and threw it all away except the pot of stumps. It is regrowing beautifully, and fits almost anywhere. Sometimes we just need space.
Last summer I chopped a sp. Sabah GPS 7950 down to the base, and the re-rooted cuttings are far more beautiful than the mother plant ever was. The mother plant regrew equally beautiful and now I can sell one of them!
It took me awhile to be OK with these sorts of actions on my indoor plants, but I've been an outdoor gardener for years and I know from growing food you have to be ruthless when it comes to reclaiming space, cutting back, and eliminating weak or sick plants.
I love this video. It is so nice to see everyone's Hoya successes, but of course plants go through ups and downs, and bare stems and unsightly growth patterns is real. It's nice to just be real about our hobby. Some hoyas just do not age well.
I hope you’ll show us how you restart Hoyas. I have terrible luck and they almost always rot. Thanks! Your plants are beautiful.
This has been the most helpful video for me!! I decided to check the roots of two of my Hoyas and restart them because of what you said about there being enough roots to be firm, but not grow new leaves. Never thought about that! Thank you!!!🙏🏻
I can always count on you to make me bust up laughing 😹Thank you!!!💚😻💚
Restarting Hoyas is part of Hoya ownership! I restart one of my Hoyas at least once a week! Sometimes it feels good to give them a new lease on life
Oh I need this one …had a tough stretch this winter. Lots of straggly plants that I want to deal with now when spring growth is likely
Miro, I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for creating these. 😊
Well like they say if it were easy everyone would do it. The root system of the hoya is a bit surprising and I appreciate you showing what to expect. It seems your vids are even more instructional and I appreciate that. Thanks
Hi Miro, very good tips. And I hope that one day I will see at least one of my Hoya give me some BLOOMS!
I bought 2 8” basket of Wayetti a couple months ago and have them under a Sansi grow light. Excited to see lots of new growth and reddening of the leaves. Working now on getting my grow lights in the ceiling installed. I can’t believe the difference those lights make. I am planning on keeping my parent Hoyas in soil but would like to root cuttings in PON as I’ve heard this is the best way to move Hoya to PON and have backup of the plant this way too
Your earlier video's inspired me to re start this beautiful hoya Rosita that had frustratingly no growth for months. I just thought she was a slow grower. After the restart i have tons of new growth! She wasn't slow! I just needed to think outside the pot. Pardon the pun.
Thank you!😊
Sorry, not a pun. A Dad joke!
I haven't totally restarted anything yet, but I've chopped back three for aesthetic reasons and don't regret it. I bought two of them (subquintuplinervis [sold to me as pachyclada] and cutis porcelana) from online shops and the other (quinquenervia) I found at a local nursery. It took me a hot minute to decide to chop them, but they were just ugly and I couldn't take it anymore. With all three, my plan was to chop them and add the cuttings back to the pots with the mother plants. I messed that up with
subquintuplinervis. I tried to just put the unrooted cuttings back into the pot. Fail. They died. But the plant is growing again and doesn't look as stupid as it did when I got it, so I'm okay with it. With cutis porcelana and quinquenervia, I rooted the cuttings in baggies with perlite (learned that from you) before potting them up with the mothers. Those were both successful and the plants look SO MUCH BETTER than they did when I got them. Particularly quinquenervia. It went from being an eyesore to a really pretty plant. For someone somewhat new to hoya collecting, it was definitely a lesson learned.
I absolutely love your videos and learn so very much from you. Please keep them coming.❤
Love your channel!!! ❤
Always enjoy your honesty and humor.. I’ll now be checking the roots on my Hoya Sunrise baby that’s been stuck in a dormant state since it arrived 9-5-23…🤞🌱💚🍀
Thank you!! Love your videos!!🥰
Love when you explain so well
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for all the info and a few good laughs 😊
Love your videos ! So sorry your hoyas are not doing well in pon. I hope you can get them to root and be happy again. Ty for sharing your experiences!❤
Thanks for another great video, Miro!
Thanks for very interesting topics about Hoyas,,,🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️🌹
Hello, I just started to collect hoyas and I bought randomly , without checking each one individually, now I lost a few of it and started to think about re- potting all of it 🤦♀️
The question is, I heard you talking about hoya care cards, where ca I find it ?? Thanks
By the way, your channel is the only one I follow with interest and fun 😊👍
Greetings from a romanian lady living in Austria 🇦🇹 😘
1st to comment
I love your channel so much
to the point of being obsessed (please don’t block me for the obsession statement 😆)
Awww, that is sweet!
I loved the video got a Hoya that has one leaf that is wonky may have to restart but it is a project for weekend cuz she is kinda big but you explained once before to me if it is being naughty restart
Excellent video. Very interesting ideas. Some of which i had never thought of before. Thank you once again for broadening my mind.
You're welcome :)
thanks so much for all the advice
I joined the $ “enable club” ❤
It looks like you are moving to a different platform is there any place else I can find the files you started on Hoyas?
Hi Miro! in one of your videos you were talking about spraying sg to prevent mites , what are you using to treat your Hoyas against mites?
I would never poo you or your plants. I had a beautiful Cebu blue pothos that I put outside last summer which of course attracted pests and I used liquid sulfur but too much. Still beautiful but lost a bunch of the long strands. Another big beautiful trailing plant this summer was a Brazil which I didn’t treat immediately after purchasing and it kept dropping leaves. Will never do that again
MAB Grow (Australian version of Pon) hasn't really worked for me with Hoya either. I do have theory that they should not have a reservoir or wick set up. I think for me the shower method would work. I don't get because I see others on TH-cam with large lush Hoya in Pon but it's a big no no for me. It's kind of heart breaking when you put so much time and effort into something but the garden/plant world is a learning curve and things work for some and not others. Love your honesty
Can you propagate woody stems?
Are you going to do a video transition from pon to soil? Not many videos. Thanks
Speaking of adult, I never had performance issues in my youth😅😬
😂😅
I feel the need to check all the roots now! I'm so sorry your hoyas are still traumatized by my watering 😔 I'll do better next time and leave them wanting more.
It's not your fault
I restart when I kill or when Im re potting and i know it would do better with new roots 😂😅🎉 okay yes: restart if its not growing too. this is why i watch your videos. I had a publicalx in water doing great. just checked it the other day. guess what? stem and roots are dead!! why? who knows... time to re start!!
I also forgot to mention here - I restart them as a form of punishment :D
I'm a serial restarter too. I just lose interest when they get too big or the growth just doesn't look the best anymore.
Chop in a thousand pieces, keep the best 3-5 nodes, sell the rest!!
I just had to restart most of my collection again due to root mealies. I've been fighting them off and on for a few years now. I'm getting to the point where I may quit hoyas altogether because it's driving me absolutely mad. What is your current treatment protocol for root mealies, Miro? I've tried cutting above the soil line, soaking the plants in hot water with soap and neem (killed a few doing this), bleaching everything or using new pots, and finally restarting in new mix, but I must have missed something because they always come back. Now I'm reading that they may crawl up stems above the soil. I have tried systemic houseplant granules on my hoyas in my enclosed greenhouse, but because I have kids and cats, I won't use systemic on plants that are outside that enclosed tent. I've also noticed that root mealies seem to love coco chips, so I've quit using that and now stick with bark, perlite, and a bit of soil.
I don't think coco chips attracts them more than any other media. I have seen them in all of the potting mixes - pon, leca, bark, coco chips, coir. I think excess of moisture is what attracts them too, so some people say to keep the plants dryer. I am not sure that is true or not... To be quite honest with you, I have not been checking for root mealies that regularly, but I think what could help deter them (aside from systemic granules) is to water every once and a while with a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water. I plan to start incorporating this too. In the past I have used systemic too (Confidor - imidaclorpide, but that can be harsh on the roots too). I have heard using neem regularly helps too (neem drenches). Quarantine new plants, for long periods of time, or at least as much as you can. Hoyas, cacti, violets and begonias seem to be pretty prone to root mealies from what I have seen so it may just be one of those things... We fight them, and keep them off but there is always work to be done :) I hope you feel better about them soon
Thanks I'm not having much luck with my chylistopgyla or my verigated hushkhana. How's betsy? I know she came off YT x
She's okay :) There is a new video on her channel as well.
@BasiePlants I'll have to look for her chanel again as she said she was not doing yt any more. X
I’d be curious to see if you ever reroot long Hoya stems with lots of leaves. How long is too long?
I managed to root very long vines in the propbox :) depends on the hoya, how big the leaves are etc. Long vines with very big leaves will be hardest to root
🌿💚🌿💚
MIRO.. I need you to come help me! My whole Hoya collection has root mealybugs. For the last week I’ve de rooted over 30 of them and I’m losing my mind. So long story short I need you to come to Wisconsin and SAVE my collection. (Please) ❤😅
This would be such a great expansion for the channel… Moro to the rescue where he comes to our houses and saves our plants 😂
Why wouldn't you check the roots straight away instead of treat for mites if there are no sign of mites? I mean mites are not invisible and by the time you treat for pests that are most likely not there the root rot spreads
Broad mites and flat mites are impossible to spot with a naked eye. You have to use a strong magnifying glass or a microscope to see them.
What do you think of trellising hoyas counterclockwise? Isn’t that the normal direction?
Very informative and helpful as you always are Miro, thank you. However, the ‘mother’ in me wanted to ask you to stop waving sharp pointy open scissors about, especially near your eyes, as you were talking 😂🙈
Hahaha :D I will have to watch out in the future! Perhaps I can tape a piece of paper on my camera - no sharp tools near the eyes 😂
@@BasiePlants good lad x😂
Omg you slay me 😅😅😅
It is the chapter name, isn't it? 😅
You’re looking handsome today..
Can you assist me in identifying a hoya?
Would you restart your Hoya if you think there are root mealybugs?
Yes, but make sure to treat it as well.
How do you treat them? I use horticultural oil for the orthe bugs.
