My oldest plant is my grandmother's Hoya carnosa. It is 60+ years old. The blooms are my first memory of my grandmother's house. She had a love for all plants that was passed down to my dad and I. Now I have over a dozen Hoyas and over 300 plants in my house.❤🌿🌱

Hoyas are my favorite. My first hoya was love at first site. She has grown so big and beautiful and I am always so proud to show her off. She is a Hoya Carnosa Tricolor aka Crimson Queen and she is stunning!! What I love most about her is she has one very unique, long pink stem of ONLY pure white (cream) colored leaves/foliage. So Gorgeous.

For years, I’ve loved your videos. Even some of the very old videos. There’s a wealth of information here. Thank you for inspiring so many of us in, not only our own plant journeys, but also those of us who have our own channels! You’re the OG!!!! Thank you, Summer!!!! 😃❤️🪴

I live with a variegated Hoya Carnosa who has grown well and is very tendril forward. She wraps them around the poles of the rolling wardrobe rack. She also reaches out for the ferns on the shelf below her and gently holds hands. I learned a lot today...i took notes and am looking forward to learning more.

Thank you for this! I've had a tough time finding an informative and thorough video about Hoya. This was not only organized well, but it's also very easy to follow along with. I'm sure I speak for many who have watched, or will watch in the future, when I say it is so appreciated!

Moved to my current house in ‘92 and bought a hoya plant. It never bloomed til this year. Apparently I was watering too much. Thank you for your great channel.

My hoyas are very trailing/climbing with heavy waxy leaves. They are all from one original plant, so they are all the same species, whatever that is! Most have an east exposure and these started to bloom when I was misting my Monstera and crotons and got some mist on the Hoya leaves. Once it bloomed those pretty two-toned pink flowers, I figured out the magic sauce was the misting! I mist the leaves daily and it blooms year-round! I am glad to hear that letting the pots dry out between watering is best. I never realized the epiphytic nature of these plants until I watched your video. Good info! Thank you!

Just ordered my first Hoya, whenever I get a new plant I go to your channel to find care tips! Thank you for these 🥰

[StaceyHerewegrowagain]

I'm absolutely in love with hoya plants. Can't wait to start adding more into my collection. I only have the hoya australis right now. So many neat varieties thank you for sharing such a great video! This is extremely helpful❤

[shiningstar]

I love these videos because I'm learning so much. I had a hoya in the 90's, it won first place in our local fair. I moved and had to give her away. Hoya will be one of the next plants I get.

I have a Hoya that is close to 50 years old as far as I'm aware, it was my great grandmothers Hoya.
And I repotted it last year and it have never looked better!
It like to kinda be "Forgotten" where it is :)
It just started flowering again after recovering from the root pruning i did when repotting.

[rennietaylor]

I love the hoya. I am a senior citizen and have been growing them for years. Your program is the best I have ever seen. I watch your programs often.

[epiwhittaker]

I always admire the way you handle your plants, precious and delicate plants.

This was a lovely video! I've been growing hoya for 20 years. It's pretty much all I grow. Though, I only have about 30 varieties, I like the leaves more than the flowers. I'm also fortunate enough to live in Los Angeles, so most of my hoya are kept on my apartment balcony. I do a lot of the same care routines, from the orchid fertilizer to the soil mixture! That's cool!

Just got a couple Hoya for my goth garden and I just can't get enough of them now

[fefieh]

Thank you for your very informative video. I have a Hoya that I grew from a cutting a friend gave me over 30 years ago. For most of these years it was in a room with east facing windows . It grew nicely but never bloomed. Then 7 years ago I moved and the plant was in an even darker room for a year until I moved into the apartment that I am now. The Hoya is now at an south facing window, very bright, but direct sun only early morning and late afternoon. It took only a few month in the new place until the flowering started! 20-30 flowers at once and as soon as one flower is done, another one comes up. Going from end of March until late October . Going on for 6 years now. I love the scent that starts in the late evening! I love my Hoya!

Wow, from 2 yrs ago and I just found Perfect timing as we just got back into our hometown. We bought one of these (carnosa I believe) when we moved into our last home in 1996. We found it at a yard sale and it was quite large compared to the ones you showed here. It was in a ceramic pot and the man had started it the previous summer when his wife passed away and it was something she had been doing at the time. Anyway, he told us all about when they had found it 50 years before and that he still enjoyed it. He said if I could get it to bloom I'd be 'joyfully finally bloomed after about 7 years or so. The blooms didn't even look real. I took pictures and nobody would believe it was a real plant. It sat outside our greenhouse on the plant tables. I don't have any pictures to share as, sadly, we lost our home and everything inside and out, (we did get our cat) in the Camp fire of 11/08/2018. Actually, it was our home, street, neighborhood, town and surrounding communities. A bit challenging times right now but I so enjoyed this. Thank you so much for all the knowledge you share. It's nice to be my age (70) and be able to learn so much about plants. We have a lot of plants to replenish in our home!..seriously, thank you again. remember to

This is the best hoya care video out there. Thanks for filming and sharing this very informative hoya care guide.

Just got my first Hoya krimson queen and am so glad you mentioned the stems appearance and what not to cut due to eventual blooming. Thank you for sharing your expertise. 💕🌿
