Thanks for the tip!

Cindy - Thanks for the suggestion, I'm still trying to figure out the best settings, but with luck I'm getting closer. Thanks for watching and offering your suggestion.

I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I'm enjoying making them. My 'Rangsan' is turning into a monster. Once yours decides to start growing, it'll seem unstoppable. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.

Peggy - Thanks for all the kind words, you spoil me. I appreciate you watching and adding your comments to the conversation.

The plant was labeled as H kentiana when I purchased it, and since it has not yet bloomed, I'm going to keep the name it came with. Both H kentiana and H wayetii are recognized as separate species by Kew's database. I have both species, and there are physical differences, but until I get blooms on my H kentiana, we won't know for sure.

Thanks. It's my favorite room in the house. As soon as it's warm enough, some of the plants and I make the migration out there. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.

Thanks, but most Hoyas aren't difficult to grow and get to bloom. There's a big mystique about them, but I haven't found them to be difficult; and I'm neither a botanist nor an expert.. Thanks for watching and adding your comment

I'm happy if I could add a bit of entertainment to your "Week's End". Thanks for watching and adding your comment.

Thanks for the question. Because the majority of my plants are in a passive hydroponic setup, I use a hydroponic nutrient system. There are several available, I just happen to use the GH "Flora" series. Thanks for watching and asking you question.

I, too, like the smell of H lacunosa. I'm not familiar with the scents of Chanel, so I don't know about that one. If you like H lacunosa you should find a H davidcummingii. I love the scent of that one too, and it blooms a lot; not sweet, sort of cinnamon spicy. Thanks for watching and commenting.

The great majority of my Hoyas are in wick-based self-watering pots; most in pon but some in an organic mix. Because that's a semi-hydro set-up, the reservoirs get filled with a nutrient solution, so they're constantly fed. Pon has no nutrients, so water alone won't do it. I've been using the GH "Flora" series, but any good hydroponic plant food should work. Thanks for watching and asking your questions.

Love your channel and seeing these lovely Hoyas! Thank you for sharing and for the information you give on the Hoyas as you go along in the video. I typically like the larger leaf Hoya but when I saw your video on Hoya Lacunosa I picked up a few different ones and I find myself enjoying them very much! Take care. 👌🪴🥰

Mine's in wick-based self-watering and pon, and under pretty strong light. They do sun-stress. He could probably do fine with slightly lower light, but that's the space I've got. Because mine's in passive hydro the reservoir is filled with a nutrient solution. Remember, when they bloom it's only for one night. Good luck with it. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.

@@PlantedInRI Thanks! 😎

Isn't it great when they bloom for you! Enjoy. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.

Thank you. I do appreciate that you watched and added a comment.

Yes, some species are "leggy", but the light can also contribute to that. In addition to H lacunosa, you could also check out H bella, H heuschkeliana, and H davidcummingii. Thank you for watching and sharing your comment.

Thanks. As always, I appreciate your watching and commenting.

Hoyas can be fairly hardy, and a number of them like being warm, though not necessarily hot; but look at where they grow in the wild. Humidity they would appreciate, but mine grow in ambient humidity - I don't have any cabinets or grow tents. I do use a humidifier in the winter, but the humidity doesn't go above 60%. All you can do is try. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.

You are very welcome.

I up-potted mine shortly after I recorded the video. Fingers crossed.

@PlantedInRI a few months back, I took some cuttings since it was hanging out a bit with exposed roots. The new substrate, PON, seemed to be a good fit. So I will take insurance cuttings and re-pot the plant and see

I wasn't sure at first, but I have really come to appreciate them. Thanks for the comment.

So glad it's not just me. We' figure it out eventually. Thanks.

So true ​@@PlantedInRI😂

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.

Thanks; and thanks for watching and adding your comment.

I'm not sure if he currently has any on offer, but I got mine through the Etsy store RareHerbsGardenNJ. He's a good seller and I've been happy with every order.

Thanks. I was really surprised by the cuttings Mona sent. I hadn't expected anything in exchange. Thanks for watching.

Poor guy, I think everybody blames Miro. Congrats on your new additions. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.

I appreciate the compliment. Thank you for watching and adding your comment.

Dee, yes, H meredithii is a beauty. Just be patient and keep your eyes open, you'll find one at a good price. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

Hola, Puerto Rico. Nina, thanks for watching and subscribing. I'll check out your channel.

The pon I've been using is comprised of equal parts pumice, lava rock, and zeolite, so yes, sort of. I'm sure that your Hoyas have responded well to that kind of an airy substrate. Best of luck, and thanks for watching and adding your comment.

Rabbits out the wazoo this year. We need more foxes and coyotes. Everybody's gotta eat. Thanks for watching.

It's quite amazing how some plants grow on you. I have a couple that I wasn't sure about, that have become favorites. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you. I appreciate you watching and adding your comment.

Thanks for asking. It's going to be part of the Hoya tour - which is in the works.

Score. I'm so surprised that I don't see/hear people talking about H carnosa Krinkle-8, it's such a great Hoya. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.

And he made these beauties for our pleasure. Amazing!

Thanks for watching and adding your comments

The H carnosa compacta is now growing in a wick-based, self watering planter in pon-ish (not the brand name). None of my Hoyas grow in cabinets or enclosures (once they're rooted). He's currently on a shelf in the Hoya room. Thanks for watching and for your question.

@@PlantedInRI I have 21 hoyas in coconut substrate (including the compact one) and I plan to transfer them all to self-watering (wick based). Thanks for sharing, I'm learning a lot from you. Greetings from Peru. 💚

That's what I'm thinking, that and clear sides and lid. For whatever reason, it works for me. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.

I'm not sure of the reason/reasons, but I get the best results from the cookie jar. Thanks for watching.

Very cool, since mine's now in pon, and some space just opened up under the grow lights. Thanks.

Make it watch the video. Mine really loves self-watering, wick-based, and slightly lower light. Thanks, Mona.

@PlantedInRI That makes sense. Mine did not appreciate super bright lights. My Chelsea as well. But they're large. No flowers 😕

Thanks for the compliment. I'm working out the last details to sell cuttings through my "Buy Me A Coffee" page. I'll keep everyone posted when that happens. Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much for that suggestion, I'll have to check that out. ...and who doesn't love a good blooming Hoya? Thanks for watching.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and adding your comment.
