Taking care of my plants and setting them up for success
Hello! The time has come to take care of some of my plants that have been neglected for a while. Hopefully, this little 'intervention' will set them up for success... if only I remember to water them.

A lot of times people ask me how can I grow my plants in the grow tents and don't I miss seeing them? Well, I don't miss seeing them at all because they are just one zip away! All I need to do is unzip one (or all) of my tents and it instantly feels like I am in my Hoya jungle. The plants are taking over the MARS hydro grow tents very fast due to the high humidity in there but also due to the FC3000 lights that I have set up. They thrive and grow much faster than my plants in regular house conditions, so whenever I feel like I need a short break, I just look inside. 😊

Once again a great video. Sooo entertaining. You could be in Vegas. I usually do my 120 plants in one day. I am now learning to do it over a few days. It is winter here in MA, USA and I have grow lights going which makes a once a week watering now a twice a week. All of my plants are on self watering or I would never be able to keep up. I do think you do a great job of trellising. Thanks for making a gray depressing day much nicer.

Selfwatering pots do make it so much easier. I don't have a lot of them, but I will try to invest this year more into selfwatering pots instead of so many plants xD It's really hard to keep up otherwise. I am glad I gave up on terracotta pots. It would be impossible to keep up.
I have to say I love your vlogs. I learn alot from them.

Thank you for the inspiration and laughs! So many to repot, but my cardiophylla and pubicalyx super splash needs it badly. Thought they were doing great, then I discovered some root rot. That type of trellis is just what I need to all my bigger hoyas! Tired of them tipping over with what they have now

This was very satisfying, yes to underwatering, yes to fumble fingers days, and yes to uncooperative plant clips…Miro tries like Judi tries ! Some days are better than others…Ok, the plant light over your right shoulder aimed at the blank wall led to much speculation. Testing out reflective light theories? Not spoken off new collection of invisible plants? 🪴The first floor windows are a bit nerve wracking, tempting voyeurs especially at night. Would lightly frosted contact paper be an option? Thank you for sharing though. I do really like your trellises, but I use butterfly clips because my hands are too dumbly to fiddle with pieces of Velcro. Always be well, Miro! 🤗🌿

Oh yes, I would not put hoyas on moss poles. I don't like them either. I don't even love them that much for aroids.
Honestly I've never been able to grow my Hoyas in Coco peat. The roots would rot everytime even if the there wasn't a lot of it in the mix (like less than a 25%) But I guess I water my plants very thoroughly everytime so it may get too wet for them idk

Hi Miro, My Hoya Caudata needs more love from me. I am struggling with it so I am trying to figure out what is going on. It is in an orchid and soil mix. Do you have any suggestions on what kind of medium this species should be in?
@BasiePlants

She likes to be watered more frequently. Depending on what location it is from, she may want more humidity. The easiest ones to grow are those from Sumatra and those that were formerly called aff. caudata. Try a self-watering pot and increasing humidity.

Thank you! I will move it to a self watering pot. So many people who grow Hoyas recommend not overing watering but a local nursery near me keeps all the ones they sell in wet soil and the plants are thriving.
