Sometimes, in the plant world, plants produce flowers when they are feeling stressed or at 'death's door'. I believe it's a way for them to set flower, produce seeds and attempt to, at least, ensure their survival via their 'off spring'. I believe some animals do this too. Great video, by the way! I learnt so much. I am saving this one for future reference.

I got a hoya carnosa on my birthday 9 moths ago and its in bloom 🥰💖
I'm so darn happy 😊
Thank you 4 the tips 🙏

I just got my first Hoya queen & this was super helpful thank you! 💗

Just had my Hoya Australis last week. It is my 2nd Hoya. The first was Cumingiana. And I struggled with it at first but yes to bottom watering!!! I couldn’t agree more!!! Thank you for the tips. Needed those reminders!!!

Great tip for signs of over or underwatering! I did not know that. So wrinkly leaves at the base could mean root rot? And wrinkly leaves on the edges could mean underwatering? Thanks so much! (pausing to go check on my hoyas...) 😉

I just potted up my Hoya cuttings and it took a little over 2 months to root this past spring.

Hi Emma, I know this is an older video, but my Hoyas in the south facing windows bloom, but my others in the north facing windows don’t, all are the same age, so you are correct!Hi from Maine😊Oh mine are crimson princess 😊

[jamiehewlett]

Went on a Hoya buying spree. Got 4 before finding out if I have the ability to care for them. My first one is doing well so I hoping w a lil help for my favorite youtube I'll be fine.😄😄

None of my Hoyas have bloomed either but hopefully this year a few will!

Should I take it from the pot because I think I put too much water and that leaves down and it’s not fluffy it’s not shiny what should I do? Thank you.

[najlajaber]

Hello I think I put too much water on my Joya. What should I do? I think the leaves look like down and thank you.

Me burning alive in the Texas heat: “No, I don’t think I will.”

Is hoya bella a slow grower ? I bought a 2 leaf cutting from etsy, it rooted after 2 months in my propagation box 😐.
Also with the hoya kerrii, does it grow from a leaf as they sell it in shops? BTW, I LOVED the video of hoya getting bottom watered!! Beautiful 😍

[handeulker]

That was amazing video as always. I would be very very happy if you could also make a video for Yucca. I have just need to cut off one of my Yuccas and there is left only one Yucca. I don’t wanna see its dead again :(((

[jeannemuller]

Hi you said rooting under a bell jar. Could one live it’s life under a bell jar? I have a compacta. Thank you.

[JessyJBob]

I'm here to find out how to look after my Hoya Compacta 😁

[gvazquez]

Whats the name of that plant you have in the pot in shape of a head ? I have one that looks like it but I don’t know the name there is so many that look very similar and I am so confused🤔
