Beautiful! ❤Is this the Caudata Sumatra?

this caudata has the most silver I've seen for a caudata, so pretty. I love caudata flowers but my new 4" caudata doesn't do so well, so I chopped it a started over...

I have a hoya caudate and was sold as caudata gold. Same flowers and I love the little tongues sticking out of the fuzzy flowers

I love going through your older videos and finding my wishlist hoyas! Still amazes me all the knowledge you have stored up there 🧠

And the red head watching his territory out the window is so cute

Beautiful plant! I didn’t know that the leaves got so big 😯

I can't tell you how comforting it was to watch your video. I've just this week acquired my first Hoya Caudata. I truly had no idea where to begin or what to expect once this adventure began. I'm guessing that the soil requirements are essentially the same as perhaps, the Hoya Macrophylla. Thanks to you, I am sooo looking forward to many years of lovin on this very cool hoya.

Yes, the leaves are stiff and hard like leather, and it is just like silver paint has been splattered all over the surface.  There is something almost Jurassic about the plant - like Dinosaurs walked among them.

Such beauty! So it didn't grow in regular house with in winter 23 °c and humidifier to 70 percent humidity?

Beautiful plant! And cat! I just got one caudate yesterday, but the leaves are about an inch long all in lime green with light silver spots. I checked the roots n they look healthy(it was sticky to the side of the pot when I checking roots) I repotted w new soil now. My question is why is mine in lime green n small leaves? Thank you

[AwaitingEden]

Thank you so much for all the amazing hoya content and invaluable information. I'm in Oceanside, CA and just started collecting hoyas. I already have over 20 varieties 🙈 I'm hoping they thrive here with my love and a humidifier!

Whats the difference in leaves and flowers of hoya caudata sumatra and hoya caudata v crassifolia?😊

[CindyMay]

Can you provide the humility level you keep it in?

[Kressa]

My Caudata arrived in the mail with wrinkly, paper thin leaves. The soil was dry, but I’m afraid it will be a loss. Is there a way to recover this plant once its leaves are wrinkled and paper thin?

Hi.. greetings … what beautiful Caudata you have there😍 I always admire your Hoyas
I have questions about this Hoya, I recently received Caudata from overseas, any advice to acclimate this specific Hoya? For now I keep them inside the clear box in front of my east facing bay window, after inspected and repotted with sphagnum moss with bark. Leaf is wilting. Do I do it right? Any tips? Btw I live in pretty dry climate ( North California) average inside home humidity is 40 %-50 %Thank you in advance 🙏

Very interesting hoya leaves, and sweet looking flowers. I've been enjoying watching one after another of all your videos, you are very informative. Unfortunately I only have one hoya, and two small cuttings from other people of different hoyas that I don't know but they are all the common ones. I am wanting to try more but obviously I will be trying common ones for starters. Thanks for all the nice videos.

Hi Doug i recently bought a caudata hooker would it grow well in a container with heat mat under ?

[kayoua]

Thank you for video. I have a question, I ordered this hoya and when it got to me it was quite dry out. All of the leaves are wrinkly and I cannot seem to get them to a plump back up. The roots seems okay. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I've read the comments and I'm just wondering what happened to your plant? Did you take it out of the grow tent? I just bought one it's with my orchids in a green house in my house under T5 with seedling heat mates. I live in New Jersey. I was hoping that it would do great come summer but now I'm worried.
