I have a hoya carnosa that I inherited when my grandmother died in 1975. I repotted it then and it has been in the same pot ever since and has survived even through multiple moves. I have taken countless starts for family members and friends. I think I need to repot it now because it's not growing as well as it has in the past even though the plant still looks good. Thank you for the information.

Thank you for yet another great video, Byron. I have a Hoya australis, that I have had for 20 years. I have had no pests on it at all, and the fragrance of the flowers are intoxicating. It reminds me of Magnolias :D

I have a twelve year old Hoya that is planted in a six inch, self watering, ceramic pot and it blooms all year. It sits in an east facing window in a room that stays 70° all year, and I only water it about every three to four months. They truly are no maintenance and virtually indestructible.

I grew one of these hoyas. We had a heavy hook screwed into the ceiling joist for the plant to hang on. The plant became so heavy it pulled the hook out of the ceiling joist one night, we got up to see the plant lying on the carpet in the living room.

What I found most beneficial about this video is showing the growth habit of hoya (vining up or shrub-like). Also showing what a mature specimen looks like also helps the plant-owner know how to treat and grow their hoya in the home. Now that I've see this, I will be planting my Variegated Hoya Kerii outdoors, at the base of my conifer trees. I think they'll make a remarkable statement in the garden when they drape a curtain of their heart-shaped, variegated leaves across the scape. I live in Los Angeles, far from hoya's native range, I'm curious to see what, if any, pollinators partake in the flowers. Anyone else allowing hoya to grow outdoors?

I was reading his fertilizer advice in the comments and it was so informative. I assumed I was good using “miracle gro orchid food”. He recommended a 7-9-5 NPK for Hoya.. I was waaay off because it is a 30-10-10

Should I sprinkle some worm
Casting compost on the top soil of my hoyas?

[andreaorozco]

Hoyas are the hardest plant for me to grow. I've killed so many of them and I just can crack the code with these plants. Calatheas, notorious divas, thrive for me. I just want to see a hoya flower for me :(.

My Variegated hoya tend to revert to normal leaves. How can I promote the varigation?

I have a Hoya pubicalyx that shot out a vine. When I tried to trellis it, the end of the vine dried up. I un-trellised it and it is just resting on the table. Can I just cut that tip off? The vine is about 18" long.
