This video was very informative! TY for sharing your knowledge.
Amanda, new subscriber! Very informative video! Thank you for sharing!❤️
Thank you!! Do you do anything for pests? Mainly try to see if they have flat mites?
Just came across your video. You are very knowledgeable and offer great information.
Those are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Amanda for this informative video. It’s really really useful and practical! 👍👍👍
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful 😄
So helpful. Thank you for this video. I purchased a Hoya Callistophylla from a Russian seller over a month ago and thought that it was doing okay -- just taking a while to acclimate to its' new environment. After viewing this video I decided to take another look at its' roots. Turns out that the roots were completely dried out. I followed your advice to trim and recut (i.e. main root still viable/alive). Re-rooting now in LECA with water and a few drops of Superthrive. Wish me luck. I think that you just saved my beautiful cutting!
Thank you for your support!! Glad it helps!! Wishing you the best luck! ❤❤❤

Wow! You're so kind to respond so quickly. I also took a closer look at my Hoya Obovada Splash and discovered that I had some root rot occuring. (Guess that I didn't get enough of the soil off before a popped it into LECA.) Trimmed off the rotted roots and now re-rooting. Hope that the "hoya fairy" continues to watch over me! Thanks again Amanda. Take care. Be well.
@@michaelbass2185 yes they will! As long as you discover the root rot early enough, you can save it! 😊
Great information, thanks for sharing
Thank you!!
I looove this video. I myself also ordered my Hoyas from oversea. Everything you said is very valid. Thank you for sharing.
Your videos are incredibly helpful. Thanks soo much for sharing 💚🌱
Thank you!! Glad it helps!
Subscribed! So informative! I am experienced with plants, but I did just get my first import of several hoya and I was just looking for ideas, and to see what others are doing to rehab their plants. This video is perfect, so well done, so informative! Thank you for taking your time to do this!
Thank you! Glad you found this helpful! Good luck with your imports! 🤞❤🌿
Thank you so much for this informative video! I recently imported 22 hoyas from Thailand and I'm so overwhelmed in getting them to acclimate in my environment. So far, majority of them are doing well. But, after watching your video I realized I may have to check the root of three hoyas as some of their leaves are still wrinkly after having them for over two weeks now. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge on importing and rehabilitating hoyas.
You're welcome!! Yea checking the roots is a good practice just to make sure the roots are recovering, since a healthy root system is the most important foundation of a healthy plant =)
Beautifull
Thank you for this, it was exactly what I’ve been looking for, especially a few months ago when a bare root Hoya starter box arrived so stressed I didn’t know what to do. Out of 11 plants only two are still with me. I appreciate you sharing your experience and giving me tools to get better at keeping these plants alive. I’m very much enjoying your channel and wish I had found you sooner!
Thank you for your kind words! Yea it can be tricky. I can't tell you how many imported Hoya didn't survive until I figure it out (kinda). With this method, the success rate of propagation is about 85%. Some of cuttings still won't make it. We live and we learn right? 😅
Thank you for a very informative video☺️. I'm afraid to do the soaking method, but after watching this I probably try it next time😄
Yea it can be nerve wreaking when you try it the first time. It works well for me though. May be try it with short time period and keep an close eye on it. I can't tell you how many times I messed up until I got it right. I still mess up sometimes 😅

This was very informative. Thank you!
You rock. Learning so much from you. I’m a plant guy but not a Hoya guy, yet. I’m growing my collection with your help. Great video. Keep it up!
Thank you!! Appreciate your support!
Thanks Amanda!
You're welcome!
Caudata Sumatra is one of my top favorite Hoyas , my first plant which only had 2 leaves died . I ordered another, that has one leaf and I’ve had it a few months - No change . About 100 $ into Caudata and I have one leaf ! I keep it under lites and in high humidity. I really hope I see some growth soon . I know some cuttyings take time , I can’t believe how much you got , I’d be So happy to see Any new growth tfs
Tbh, I don't do much for the caudata sumatra. I know it sounds strange but I literally leave it alone (to an extent of course). It's right next to my grow light. I water it once every 7 to 10 days. I don't have a humidifier for it but I do have great ambient humidity (around 65%). It has been growing non stop since I got it, even into fall.
Really amazing information I’m going to have to look back at the ones I imported and recheck the roots since some haven’t been growing yet. Thank you for sharing this video!
You're welcome! Glad it helps!
A very informative video on importing of plants. I love your presentation & very nice plants. I was asking many US orchid growers if they issue the phyto certificate & their reply is no! Bcz of my interested in ordering some plants & this was discouraging.
Thank you! Yea it's a big NO to ship or receive plants internationally without phytosanitary certificate. The maximum fine stated by the USDA is US$60,000 😶
@@amandalaw7131 understood but all they have to do is abide by the laws.
@@annettamackey1538 yup. But for some reasons some of them don't want to. 🤷♀️ The seller who broke the laws can also be punished by laws.
@@amandalaw7131 thank you my dear. Much appreciate your responses.
Girl, you are so brave! No risk, no reward though! I can't wait to see how well it grows for you!
Thank you! Me too!
Hi, Thank you for the vidéo, there is so much informations! I am expecting my first order From Thaïlande and I was wondering what to do now next. What soil should I put my hoya in, do I put them in a propagation box? Do I go full light on or do they need acclimatation for that too? Maybe it is already in a video ( I looked nany of yours but couldn't find one) ? Thank you very much!
Hi! Some of the information should be in the video. Anyway, it really depend on the condition of the plants when it arrives. generally speaking, you might need to soak the plant to rehydrate it. If the roots look healthy, you can it up immediately. Otherwise you might need to chop up the plant and root it up again. I would not give too much bright light right away. I would gradually increase light level. Also you can provide the plant with more humidity so it recovers faster. Good luck!
@@amandalaw7131 thank you, appreciate that you took the time to answer!
Were did you orden your plantas, i love hojas
Hoyas 😍
For overseas, I recommend Ah Hoya =)
Hi Amanda! Firstly, thank you so much for your videos. I have found all of them super helpful for my first time ordering Hoyas from Thailand! I was wondering how often you mist your cuttings? I’m terrified of over or under doing it. I put all of them in a very well draining mix of orchid bark, perlite, and cactus soil. Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated ☺️
For unrooted cuttings, I put them in moss and a prop box. Otherwise it'll take a long time for them to root. I don't really mist my cuttings. I water the moss instead. I found that misting increases the chance of fungal infection.
Amanda, thank you, thank you! I believe your rehab info for suffering hoyas has been the most helpful I've heard yet! I recently purchased a hoya potsii that was cut upside down with the end that would typically go into soil cut very short making it impossible to root. I contacted the seller who said to plant it from the longer end of the stem because evidently it was cut from a hanging plant. I did. The leaves are still firm (2 1/2 weeks) but now i am going to take out of the pot and see how it is doing. I will cut it like you showed and replant right side up. Also this is good for any hoya plant purchased even locally online. I've received some hoyas that had bad roots or my own hoyas roots were failing. You were very informative and I truly appreciate that. I will also look into that fertilizer Flaxsea as well. By the way, do you recommend root simulators? Look forward to your next video!
Thank you so much for your support!! For local sellers, I recommend Gradino Nusery and Logees. They're bigger and more established sellers that have great plants and amazing customer service. For overseas seller, I like Ah Hoya a lot. You can check out their FB page or website.
In terms of rooting hormone, I am indifferent. I don't see significant difference in rooting speed when using it. However, it's not a bad idea to use it to avoid infection while rooting since most of them have fungicide in it.
Hope this answered your questions. ❤
So when you make a cut for propagation it is more important for leaves facing up than going in the direction of stem growth? Like when you made a 1st cut on Caudata you cut off the roots and "technically" root it upside-down based on stem growth...that would be ok?
Yes. I would go with the direction of the leaves.
What happens if you root the big plant directly if the roots are healthy ? If I am not looking to propagate cuttings, then would you recommend buying smaller plants ?
If the roots are healthy, there should be no problem to directly pot up the plants. However if the roots are damaged, leaving so much foliage on the plant will burden the plant from recovering. I recomend buying whatever size that suits your space and life style. Just remember that large plants take more work and patience.
@@amandalaw7131 thank you so much 😊
From where in Thailand you buy your hoyas?they are beautiful 😚😙😗
Hi! Check out Ah Hoya. They have beautiful plants and great customer service! =)
I have questions regarding how to apply for import permit. I already created account for log in but I couldn't apply for permit . Every time I click apply for permit it wont go there . Thanks in advance
It could be the website problem. If the issue persists, I recommend calling your local AHPIS office directly.
Thanks for the video! Sorry, can you share the seller?
Yes that would be great to see 😊
I have also asked in her last video...💁🏾
Hi, I would love to share but I can't because of multiple false accusations against my seller from strangers I disclosed my seller's name to. I used to share the name of my seller openly to anyone until he mentioned to me that some of my referrals filed false PayPal claims against him and he lost money from that. He is a small seller so that hurts him a lot. Since then, I only share my seller information with my friends that I actually know personally.
I appreciated you understanding. If you're interested in purchasing Hoya overseas, I recommend Ah Hoya. They're a bigger nursery in Thailand.
Thank you! !
Hi Amanda,
Very informative video. The mix you dip them in is a type of orchid fertilizer?
If I understand you correctly, that's the rooting hormone
Where r these hoyas from?
I believe I ordered them on Ebay, if I remembered correctly
Hello Amanda! Thank you for the video. Btw, this is completely off topic but I remember you mentioning on Instagram that you had a Polyneura rooted in sphagnum for too long and you were unable to remove it so you decided to grow it in sphagnum. I’m having the same problem with my Hoya Rebecca since it came like that from the seller. I am so scared of root rot with the sphagnum but I cannot remove it so I would appreciate some tips for growing your hoya solely in sphagnum. How do you water your Polyneura in the sphagnum moss medium? I am terrified of over-saturating the medium. Thank you. Take care. ❤️
Hi! Thank you for the question! Hoya polyneura is a bit different from Hoya 'Rebecca' because polyneura do like more moisture so it grows fine in moss. Rebecca, on the other hand, may not enjoy living in moss as much. I suggest you to just remove as much moss as possible. Like 80% would be sufficient, then pot the plant in a VERY well draining mix. Since Rebecca is kind of succulent, you shouldn't be watering it too often anyway. Hope this helps!
Amanda Law Thank you so much Amanda for answering my question. I really appreciate it. My Rebecca came from the seller grown in sphagnum moss and coco husk pieces mix. From my experience, both of them seems to hold onto moisture and I’ve always been intimidated by both medium with Hoyas. I will do as you suggest and attempt to remove as many of them as I can. I usually use 60% orchid bark, 20% perlite, 10% charcoal, and 10% cactus soil mix for my Hoyas so it is quite chunky. Again, thank you so much for the tip and also for making so many informative and entertaining videos! I hope you have a lovely weekend! Take care and stay safe! ❤️
I loved this video. Thank you for all the helpful information. What is the name of the seller ?
Thank you! If you're interested in ordering Hoya from Thailand, I recommend you to check out Ah Hoya. They have beautiful plants and great customer service.
I really loved this video. Your videos are very informative. I checked their website after watching your video. Can you please also share some information regarding the USDA import permit that they request before placing an order ? Thank you so much
Thank you! I use the APHIS website to apply for an import permit: www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/import-information/permits/plants-and-plant-products-permits/plants-for-planting/plants-for-planting
I'll definitely do another video to explain further the process. Stay tuned!!
i was hoping you could provide some insight.... My new and newly imported Finlaysonii I got locally has a leaf tip that is turning brown and the leaf is starting to yellow. The roots are very strong and healthy. It’s not over watered, but could be in shock. Is this kind of thing normal for newly imported Hoyas? Should I cut the leaf off or let the plant deal with it?
If you're sure the roots are fine, then I believe the plant is just trying to acclimate. When the plant is moved to a brand new environment, especially one with less light, it tends to shred its leaves. As long as the leaf is not rotting, you can leave it on there until it falls off naturally.
@@amandalaw7131 Thank you so much for your advice. I really appreciate it!
You're welcome! Good luck!!
@@amandalaw7131 one more question, how can you tell if it's rotting? Would it be soft and mushy? I did repot it just to be safe and i think the roots still look fine. The soil it was in was a bit more compact than i'd like it.
Yea the roots would look brown and mushy and stringy. If the roots seem fine, you can always pot it up and observe for a week.
I’m following your detailed directions with the 5 I just ordered from AH. My question is out of all the cuts you make, what percentage do well? Are there always some cuttings that don’t make it? For instance one of my ‘medium’s’ ended up with 8 cuttings of 1-3 nodes. Should I assume a certain percentage won’t make it?
In my experience, success rate of rooting/rehabbing imported Hoya is around 75%. The success rate is much lower in winter though.
Wow this whole time I was cutting the stem in only one direction on the vine even when the leaves were facing down. 🤦🏻♂️
Hi Amanda - can you please share where you ordered your Hoyas from - thank you

I'm doing my first import order. I'm nervous but setting my expectations low. Curious where you order all your Hoyas from?
I ordered from Ah Hoya mostly :)
Hi Amanda, can you tell us who your seller is on Ebay that you can trust? I am worried about ordering from a random person. It would be nice to have a name to go with the ebay account to look for. Thank you and love your videos, I've watched all the tips videos.
Hi! I highly recommend Ah Hoya in Thailand. They're a bigger Hoya nursery that has great plants and great customer service. You can check out their FB page =)
