This is great! I’d love to know more about how you water your hoyas in the barky mix in the terra cotta! I’d also be interested in a detailed leca video!
I started adding Bio-tone to all my repottings a few months ago. I've always added it to the soil when I transplant outside. So I thought, why not try it for indoor plants as well? If it helps to transition plants from pot to ground outdoors, it seems like it could benefit houseplants as well. Glad to see someone else doing this too! I'm not crazy! haha
Love your videos. Your Hoyas are doing beautifully. They might be easy to mix up but mycorrhiza are fungi not bacteria, right? Fungi (not bacteria) that symbiotically live with vascular plant roots are called mycorrhizae. Thank you for sharing your recipe for Hoya potting soil. 😊
Thank you for this video! So helpful! This might be a silly question but when watering, do you allow the water to run through the bottom of the pot? Or only a little over top?
There's no silly question =) I do let 10% to 20% of water run through the bottom of the pot before stop watering. That way I know I water the plant thoroughly.
Very informative! Would it be possible for me to revive a root rotted Hoya (after it has soaked in peroxide rinse and been cleaned up) in this mix, if I keep it in a prop box with high humidity?
Yes you can save a plant from root rot! I actually filmed a video about it. Feel free to check it out if you are interested =) ruclips.net/video/NGWRgyZI5Ls/видео.html
I wouldn't repot immediately if the plants are doing fine in its original medium. That being said, you might want to check the roots when you take the plant home.
@@amandalaw7131 thank you! So far they are doing fine. I appreciate finding someone in youtube that's from the same zone as me! Looking forward to more videos from you. Stay safe!
Charcoal has very high pH and those „impurities” and bacteria that people would like to clean up with this product are inherent part of plants roots biom... this concept of using charcoal to detoksyfy or purify coms from people medicine and has little to do with life in soil- Gardening in Canada has a great video on this subject on YT:)
Wrong Amanda. Living in a high humidity country is not miserable. When you live in low humidity and it’s hot and dry , it really cracks up your face and I don’t enjoy the layers of moisturiser I have to pile on….

I love that you upload these right as I'm getting ready in the morning, works perfect with my routine 😁
Yay!!! Glad to hear that! ❤
Me too! ❤️
I really enjoyed your video. Thank you so much. ❤🌿
Thank you for your support! Glad you enjoy it! =)

Absolutely!!! All these "houseplants" actually grow outside in the nature so mycorrhizae will benefit them if used properly =)

I love your videos. I'm also collecting Hoyas so this video it's a milestone 🤩. Thanks so much. Do you use this mix for your Hoya Linearis as well?
Thank you for your support!! Yes I do use the same mix for the linearis =)

Should i immediately repot my hoyas to this type of mix upon bringing them home from the nursery?

Yay!!!! I'm glad to hear that. And you're right! Different growing environments make huge differences for plants. ❤
Do you think my Variegated Compacta would do good in this mix?
Roughly how frequently do you water in that mix? Mine has a bit more peat in it & I water every 6-8 days, so it dries pretty fast 🤷🏻♀️
I water approximately 7 to 10 days =)
You live in SF! You are local! I am in Martinez! Do you know of a good place nearby to buy Hoyas (or other plants)? Right now I’m buying them online.
Detailed leca video please!
Added to the list!! 😊

Bio-tone really stinks!😂 There’s no way around it. It always grabs my dog’s attention 🤣
Seriously right??! Even if I just added a teaspoon, I can smell it. 🤣
