#HoyaHangout #Hoya #PlantsMakePeopleHappy wondering what folks do when their Hoyas get to this point. The roots still look good I have wrapped these around the trellis about four or five times.
@Just1More I’ve only had Hoyas for a year, so I’m not there yet, but I would add another trellis! Have you seen videos of Doug Chamberlain’s Hoyas? (You can search for Vermont Hoyas website or YT channel) On a lot of them he’ll cross a trellis over the top perpendicularly, then you have fresh real estate for wrapping and clipping. πŸ˜„
@DreamMachine thank you I will look it up!
Good morning @Just1More β˜€οΈ. Gorgeous girl you’ve got there!😍 My Krimson Queen and Princess I’ve let trail. Actually most of mine trail except the pubicalyx and australis which I’ve wrapped around trellises several times and still have space to keep going round on both. I imagine as I run out of trellis room that I’ll add another as @DreamMachine mentioned or I’ll start to trim. What size was she when you got her and how long have you had her? She’s stunning! I have kerrii and callistophylla on trellises too but completely different types than the others.
@Just1More now that it’s not 4am and my screen is brighter, WOW 🀩 Your krimson queen IS stunning! Echoing Marian’s @MariansOasis questions: how long have you had her? Omg the vine with all pink leaves!! 😱😱😱
@Just1More What a great problem to have! I only have two Hoyas that compare at the moment. I also just keep on wrapping my Krimson Princess. And my Pubicalyx is At the top and ready to work its way back down my climbing wall. I’m going to go make a second cup of β˜•οΈ and check out the videos Nadia @DreamMachine recommended ☺️

@DreamMachine @Just1More @MariansOasis OMG!!! I’ll never buy another trellis again! 🀯

@Just1More @debbiedo @MariansOasis

and here’s a good quick video just showing some of his Hoyas in his home ☺️

@debbiedo oh yes Debbie! Also check out his rabbit fencing hoya trellis video! That’s how I do mine now, except I don’t do a full tube.
@DreamMachine I just watched the rabbit fencing one! πŸ‡ I like yours better. Easier to access the plant πŸ‘πŸ»
@Just1More @DreamMachine @MariansOasis He’s clearly changed his mind about the bamboo hoops since this video was made, but it has some helpful tips about adding height and wrapping the plant 🌱

@DreamMachine I love seeing plant-y peoples’ homes! I’m getting on the who-needs-curtains train too! πŸš‚πŸͺ΄TOOT TOOT!!!
@DreamMachine thank you so much for this
@MariansOasis I would love to let it trail, but it does the whole stem without leaves thing if I do, and once I clip it to a trellis, the leaves come out. I was thinking I got it about two years ago but the first picture that I have on here already has it on a trellis and I know I didn’t do that for at least six months, maybe the winter of 2023/4? I suspect my plants grow faster because I put them out in the summer on our screened in porch which they love. It’s very helpful to see so many of you do what I’m doing, looping it back around. At some point, I should probably do some propagations too.
@DreamMachine i’m guesstimating 2 1/2 or 3 years.
@debbiedo I know, right? I’m losing too much weight without trying, my hair is too shiny πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
@debbiedo I used some wire like this and looped twine around it to make it a little bit nicer and made a heart trellis for my Kerri Hoya.
@DreamMachine thank you for this
@debbiedo I wish mine looked that good! I don’t know I wanna advertise how messy my plants look right now but I’ll send a picture of my porch which is my happy place.
@Just1More Your porch is LOVELY! I’d be sharing pics all over the place πŸ™ŒπŸ“ΈπŸŒ±πŸ˜‚
@debbiedo Thank you I love it so much. Coffee every morning out there with my plants and pups is heaven
@Just1More I’ll bet β€οΈβ˜•οΈπŸΆ
@debbiedo YES! I made my first rabbit fencing one into a tube, and then I nearly lost my mind trying to repot my crassipetiolata, it was SO hard πŸ˜† THEN when I try to add clips πŸ€ͺ Because I have the clips that have a spot for attaching to the wire (so the hoya vine is loose in the actual β€œclaw” part and not getting pinched, I don’t know if that makes senseβ€”if it doesn’t I’ll attach a picture) I like to attach them on the inner part of the wire, and my hands can’t fit through the 2x3 grid 🀣
@DreamMachine That’s exactly what I kept thinking…how in the world would you get to the inside of it?!?
