Hoya Kerrii Propagation Update + soil mix for houseplants

#houseplants #backtobasics #hoyakerrii
On my second episode of Houseplants Back to Basics series, I will be talking about potting soil mix and soil amendments, as well as give an update on my hoya kerrii propagations from a month ago: • 3 WAYS TO PROPAGATE HO...
Most potting mixes come with three main components: organic matter (peat moss, coco coir, tree bark, etc...), soil amendments (perlite, vermiculite, pumice, etc..) and nutrients (synthetic or organic). When buying potting mix, focus more on the actual contents than on the brand, so you are getting the right mix for your plants and you will also not overpay for special potting mixes.
For spring, I prefer to make my own soil mix with coco coir, perlite and nutrients of choice. I find this to be more cost effective, especially when repotting many houseplants. Coco coir is also more sustainable than peat moss, which I am using to repot two of my hoya kerrii propagations in this video.

Hi Christina, Unfortunately I have sold my propagations of my hoya Kerri, I only have the single leaf cutting left with me (along with the mother plant). I posted an update recently on my IG & tiktok!

[@IITrinnyTII]

You’ll get a lot more views if this was titled as an update on your Hoya update. Looked through the comments to find this video but glad it’s there. Thank you for filming this

[@MyWastelessLife]

It's in the title and thumbnail, but I take your point, coz my most asked question is where is this video lol.

[@monkeyrocket2758]

Thank you for such a wonderful update. I hope they successfully grow into plants 🤞🏽

[@Tiffany_D_P]

This was really helpful, thank you!

[@cbapl6429]

[@annepowell756]

[@Tweeling2010.]

Cant wait for mine

[@marciecooper3563]

Thanks for the update. I learned a lot

[@magdalena2238]

Im looking forward to your single leaf propagation update. 💚🌱

[@queenyen2690]

Found it ❤🤗

[@secretlyprivacy]

hi thank you for the video. can you please give also an update about the mother plant? thanks

[@MyWastelessLife]

Just posted it on my IG stories! But mama is doing well, she has sprouted a new leaf since with two (maybe four) more on the way!

[@madamplant]

Thank you!

Go to Harbor Freight and get a soldering iron. It is perfect for making holes in your plastic pots or cups for your cuttings. Most of my plants are outside so there has to be good drainage because of the amount of rain we get. Since I got my soldering iron I can put as many holes as I want and there is NO breakage. 🍃🌿🍃

[@MyWastelessLife]

Thanks for the tip, will check it out! 😊

[@rayaameyacamero693]

Did you water the one inside the ziplock?or you just leave it there until it has its own roots.

[@amiemerle18]

Do you have an update on the plants?! 😍 Thank you for sharing this!!

[@monicasevilla1744]

How is the the main hoya plant doing? The one you kept. Is it growing new leaves?

[@debrag3666]

Thanks

[@tingtingantingtingan]

Hello i have bought a hoya kerrii and it has sphagnum on it still, should i remove it and transfer to soil now? Or just repot them put soil and just leave in sphagnum?

[@johannamillan4645]

Did you have to remove all the moss before repotting?

[@rowenalatorre4872]

can I use coco coir instead of sphagnum moss in my hoya cuttings?

[@MyWastelessLife]

Yes! I recommend it more than sphagnum moss tbh, especially if you're planning on repotting to soil afterwards

[@rowenalatorre4872]

thank you 😘

[@jenniferthelen4628]

I bought a cutting awhile ago. How long before I will see new leaves or vines growing out of it?

[@MyWastelessLife]

Honestly they are slow growers I got three new leaves the entire growing season but had to chop off two coz they got damaged.

[@jingserina7822]

If you use sphagnum moss, do you squeeze off the water before you planted the hoya kerii in it? TIA!

[@MyWastelessLife]

Yes. Coz moss hold too much moisture and it will rot

[@triciaroy]

It looks like that coir has something else in it. What are the little white bits?

[@MyWastelessLife]

Perlite! I added some to it coz I used it initially for seeding.

[@theplantlady5924]

Hi, what was the potting medium in the ziplock?

[@MyWastelessLife]

Regular potting soil but you can use coco coir or peat moss too.

[@sunburstorange]

How’s your hoyas? Can you make an update?

[@MyWastelessLife]

I posted a couple of updates in my soil mix video th-cam.com/video/xKimxQGytJQ/w-d-xo.html and in here th-cam.com/video/3NegqbzS9XU/w-d-xo.html
