    Sorry about the delay! The rooting method did just fine. The plant eventually died because I didn’t water anything for a hot minute. Most Hoyas were fine but linearis isn’t as resilient with neglect. 😅

    Thank you for options you shared. Most of Hoyas were in coco peat. There was a weather change since past few weeks causing the environment to be more humid. I checked to repot the Hoyas.. most of them were having root rots. Since I can’t move all of them to Leca or Pon immediately and I had a big bag of perlite. I changed all of the potting medium to perlite and coco peat 60:40 ratio. Your channel and video came to my help at much needed time. ❤

    It’s super helpful to those that are new to Hoya if you know (or have labels ) on them. It’s also a bummer that you skipped over so many Hoya. You have such a beautiful collection and should have spent more time on each plant , showcasing them all.

I will now repot my one and only Hoya thats been in soil next to doing nothing and put into my own DIY situation - putting less inportance one the Perfect pot, vessel, puting more engery into tthe indivual plant and its acclamation. Now the possibilities are endless. Now i have a stronger grasp of LECA and the love affairs starts all over once again. thank you >>great video great detail . ..just great.

    Hi Corky, your hoya did okay after 2 months, just curious since you didn’t come back and showed with this video Great video though, thank you for all the informations , I’m just starting in this Hoyas and lecas. I have a question , just got my Hoya Australis Lisa 2 days ago by mail. It’s a seedling. Have you tried transferring a seedling hoya Australis lisa. I’m just curious because i was planning to transfer my seedling hoya to LECA

    @CorkysFlora2 жыл бұрын

    It ended up doing well but I forgot to update before I gave it away. I haven't every received a seedling in the mail. Is it quite delicate? Lisa has always done well for me in leca, but when I am nervous about repotting, I like to wait until there is enough growth to take a cutting to root in leca.
