Thank you for another great video.. I just rooted some of these an I’m getting ready to transition them to a chunky mix.. I think I’ll use a net pot like yours. Thank you for this information
Thank you, it is hard to say how many there are because they are discovering new ones all the time, and now they are turning out a lot of hybrids. I would guess around 500.
Doug, "Cutis" means skin. So, that hoya specie is called "Porcelain Skin". I'm from the Philippines and women from the South, particularly in Cebu and Davao City have porcelain skin. That's because Spanish people first settled there and their blood spread though out the Philippines after that. In Filipino culture, women with porcelain skin is considered to be beautiful. Lol... I'm intrigued to who discovered this plant! I have a feeling it is a man! I don't know! The person might be from that region or the plant was discovered from that region. I would like to know!
Hoya cutis-porcelana is endemic to Samar and Biliran Islands in the Visayas, Philippines. That is fascinating information Marilyn, and yes it was discovered and named by men!
Sooo beautiful, Doug! You know what would be a great video!? A video about Hoyas that require the most humidity and ones that don't. I saw on one of your blog posts where you did this,, but a video would be awesome and so helpful, especially coming from someone who deals with winters!
That is a great idea Davajeya. I will say though that I have never found a Hoya that won't grow much better in high humidity. There are many Hoyas that will survive in low humidity, but very few will thrive.
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas tell me about it! I just killed my first Hoya, the heuschkeliana Variegata, I tried everything! She has been the only tricky one so far, but it made me think, which ones am I giving this special treatment to that may not need it as much as another? Trial n error I suppose. Or ask Doug! Not too many Hoya growers in the US live in colder climates. So asking many I know of would be useless as most of them live in Florida!
@@DavajeyaMG The only way that I get these humidity loving tropical plants to grow is to use grow-tents with artificial lighting. Best case scenario growing many of these in the regular house is they go dormant in the winter and pick up again next spring; worst case is they die. Sorry to hear about your heuschkeliana Variegata!
Thanks Doug I also got mine from AH Hoya and I came to your video to have a look at your buds as mine are round about the same size so I was wondering if they were going to bloom soon or just like my other Hoyas keep me waiting... I suspect it's the latter!
Good luck with you cutis-porcelana blooms; they are quite small, but lovely just the same. Let me know how you plant grows. I don't find this plant to be particularly vigorous, and have had to start it over a couple of times.
Beautiful! How do you decide what to do with certain hoyas when you don’t know? We bought onychoides from Ah Hoya. It looked very good at the beginning but it lost leaves all of sudden. Tried to rooted and restart in three different t ways but none of them worked...
This is where a decade plus of experience growing Hoyas helps me out a lot. I take a look at the plant and know how similar plants have fared for me in the past, and take an educated guess. Hoya onychoides is a tricky customer, and I feel the most difficult of all the Hoyas in the macgillivrayi complex. I find that it roots fairly easily in water, but is very susceptible to root rot after planting in soil. I also have one of AH's special onychoides that I have been struggling with for year. I just started it over again for the 3rd time.
Hi Doug, I'm also a New Englander and a newbie to collecting Hoyas..I currently have a little over 30 Hoyas in my collection. Do you used any fertilizer, if so, what kind? Thanks 😊
It's a really nice flower but not long lasting. But once it flowers it's flowering all the time like hoya blashernaezii or siariae. I saw a punk variety and completely yellow but they are not in trade.
Love your videos.
Very cool! I just got my first cutting of this species. I hope to flower it in a couple of months. I placed it in my indoor greenhouse :-)
Hi Wendy, once this species starts flowering; it just won't stop. I wish you the best of luck with your new Hoya!
Beautiful blooms. 💚🌿🪴🌱💚
Thank you Karen!

Thank you Mary for the kind words. I wish you the best of luck with your new plant. I’m sure you will be successful with it!
She is so gorgeous, Doug!!
Thank you Hang Do!
Beautiful photos :)
Thanks Krista!
I must say your still photos really bring out the beauty in those flowers. They are gorgeous! Thanks for taking them!
You're welcome Lucy!
Very nice...
Thank you Charles!
Cool....
Thanks Sharon!
The flowers are so beautiful. How many Hoya plants are there?

My family received a care package from our family in the Philippines that included a skin bleach. My sister tried it out & it took months to recover😰

@@RadioImmunoAssay2 Wow, I did not know that it was a thing😰!
@@DougChamberlainVTHoyas yeah! I think it's a class thing in the Philippines. Like if you're rich, you wouldn't be working outside & get tan🤷🏻♀️
I remember seeing this back home in the Philippines...beautiful. My grand mother grew hanging a coconut husk.
Thank you for sharing that wonderful story Rina!
Beautiful flowers, thanks for the video.
Thank you and you are welcome Pieter!
Amazing bloom in just 3 months! Well done!
Thank you Terry!
Those flowers are so pretty!
Thank you!
Gorgeous little cuties! Did you get it as rooted cutting? Three months from cutting to bloom is incredible! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Mary! I did get it as a rooted cutting in that Thai unboxing video back in May.
Beautiful flower I does look like porcelain
Thanks Noelle!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️!!
Absolutely beautiful Doug! I really like it!
Thanks Lynda!
Love the still shots of the flowers! Very pretty!
Thanks Christine, the flowers are pretty photogenic!
Saludos Doug el color de la hoya esta espectacular parece hecha en cera😍 bella, bella un abrazo DTB🙏🏽 🌿❤🌿😘
Grandes abrazos para ti también Elizabeth! ¡Ten una maravillosa semana🌿❤🌿😘
Do you know how this grows in soil? Does it like to go dry?
It does like to go almost dry; I’m trying one in soil now for the first time; so far, so good.

Doug Chamberlain thank you.i guess I have to stay away from it for now... I shall wait for you to figure things out and learn first... 😬
When you do propagate your Philippine varieties, please let me know. Thank you!
I will try Maria!

I get about 3 days out of the flowers being fully open and that is it. It is too bad they don't last a little longer.
