New subscriber here! Thank you so, so much for this video! I'm not new to the Hoya world but I am new to leca. Great visual on how to "flush" your plant! Mine haven't been in leca long enough to flush yet, but the time will come and now I know what the hell to do! Thanks! Sorry if you shared this already (I haven't looked) but do you have a link to the fertilizer you use???

Hi! New subscriber to your channel. I just received my Hoya Curtisii today. Have many house plants & several Hoyas. Had this one in the past and it went into a blooming frenzy about 2-3 weeks after I purchased in the mail. It then just crashed & gave out & died. Nothing worked to save it so I finally waited to purchase another at a reasonable price. My ? Is do you ever use the jack's bloom 1/2 strength on your Curtisii? The plant I purchased has a penduncle but I know they can drop them. It's a well established plant about the size of your mama plant but not quite as long. Thanks and also wanted to mention that I loved your printout of care instructions. I am going to watch your cuttings video. Agree this is an absolutely gorgeous Hoya & my fav. The fragrance is amazing and the mint green blooms are just too cute.💚🌱

super informative, thank you! My curtisii is doing awesome BUT new leaves are all green. Is that usually for baby leaves and splashing will show up as they mature or does she need more light?

Thanks for the videos Michael. Do you mist the curtisii? I've just bought one and it seems rather dry. I live in South Africa. The stems on mine are very woody, I see from your mother plant, the stem are green? Do you have a humidifier? What's your humidity level? I "taco" test the leaves before I water. Is mine gonna die?

You named both, but which one are you using?

Thanks for this helpful info!! I have one in a soil mix substrate but recently have found some of the leaves are yellowing
:( i wait until it’s dried before watering and it’s in a NW facing window. Any ideas on how to prevent her from turning yellow? Thanks for your help!!
