I said this once but I’ll say this again: I love the historical and botanical information of your videos!! Also I got into hoyas thanks to you! I love them! So thank you!
Betsy! I’d love to see a tutorial on how you made your trellises. You explain and demonstrate things so well so I think it’s be a good video if you’re up for it sometime!
I really enjoyed the this educational plant-based stand-up routine! I had a rough day at work and watched this when I got home and it made me smile! Therefore Bassy plants should do what Betsy begonia asks! LOL! I do already subscribe to both of your channels
Thank you! It's a vintage sweater that I found in the theatre department costume closet when I was in college and I begged the head seamstress to let me take it home. 😂 It says "les champignon" which is grammatically incorrect in French so it's one of a kind.
Hoya thomsonii is a dream breaker. 😂 Mine didn't grow for 2 years, now it grows well but keeps growing peduncles, producing buds and blasting them at the last minute. Oh you cruel plant...
It's a user and and an abuser. But it's doing well in my apartment right now since the temperature is lower. They really suffer in the summer heat (I know cuz I lost 3 to the summer heat and under watering 😂).
I love Miro! Today was a great day, videos from both Betsy and Miro on the same day! Woot! 💜🎉🪴 I think Hoya Pazzi is appropriate because Pazzi means crazy in Italian and we all know Hoyas and Hoya heads are a little bit pazzi!🤗🤗😂😂
I could (and gladly would and try to currently) listen to you talk about Hoyas for hours at a time. Your passion for them is infectious and I have now started shopping around for Hoyas online to try because I only have a 1 leaf Kerii (which seems to miraculously be growing after 2 years even though people said it wouldn’t!!) and some sort of Pubicalyx “splash”, which is a newer plant for me and just a joy to watch grow.
The verticillata and pottsii discussion is so fascinating. I bought a hoya labeled pottsii that looks absolutely nothing like either of my verticillatas (one labeled as parasitica and one labeled acuta). 😂 So I have NO idea what it is, at least until it blooms!
I LOVE how passionate and excited and knowledgeable you are on all of your plants! You are so entertaining to watch, and your personality is so fun. Thank you for sharing your passion with us 🥰
I live in Australia and there are 6-7 types of Pottsii here and last year some time, there was some announcement that a large number of hoyas were being renamed. Amoena, citrina, parasitica, Pottsii etc would all fall under the name 'Verticillata". The same way that Macrophylla AlbomarginataIs now Latifolia.
"not a lot of hoyas named after their wives... we won't get into it." hahaha I love all the research you put into your videos! And I'll keep my fingers crossed that your thomsonii thrives, I'm also dying to get my hands on one, I'm such a sucker for pubescent leaves!
Glad to see you getting better. I subscribed your channel since 2019. I didn't understand about hoya back then but recently I have been collecting hoya and now I agree they are stunning plants and so addictive. Thanks for all the info :)
I've always kept plants but this past year I've really concentrated on hoyas. I've added like 30 different kinds and well yesterday I found my first penduncle and I'm so neverous of losing it lol I keep checking . It's on my fungii
@@rachela2727 I've never had any problems with that Hoya, it's as easy care as a Hoya carnosa in my opinion. I just let it do its thing and water it when it needs watering.
Love the video! Makes me want to go order some more hoyas but since there's snow on the ground need to wait for when it's safe to ship. Also LOVE your sweater!
Yes, yes, we must wait until SPRING! And thank you, it's my oldest sweater and I rarely wear it because it's coming apart and I can't bear to watch it go.
The Heuschkeliana Variegata is my all time favourite. I’ve had mine a year (a small rooted cutting) and it grew like crazy over spring/summer and then at the beginning of October it bloomed these cute pink flowers that reminded me of caramel ❤️. I also got unrooted versions of the green versions pink and yellow so I’m hoping they will bloom next year 😊. Lovely selection Betsy and a nice fun video xx
This is so fun! The Buis nursery was near my house actually, in Aalsmeer where many growers are located. It's a Dutch name (meaning pipe like where water runs through) and pronounced bœis (phoneticly, according to wiki). I love how you made it sound tho, like French 👌🏻 And yes I'm so late 😅 had it saved in my watch later list
Haha, I knew I was pronouncing it Frenchly but I don't know a thing about Dutch. I've looked up the nursery online and thought about reaching out to them but I haven't done it. Thanks for watching, Roos. 💚
@@betsybegonia I did! And they emailed back. A loose translation of their answer: It's great that you're so enthusiastic, but we don't want publicity on the internet and so we won't respond to your request. We wish you lots of fun and success with your activities' 😅 ❤️
Spectacular. Love your new apartment. The hoyas are gorgeous. I must watch this again. I have the verticillata, the hanhiae, the red mindorensis, and one called potsii. Go figure.
I do too! Sadly I rarely wear it because it's coming apart. It's very old and one-of-a-kind. I found it while working in a costume shop in college and begged the head seamstress to let me have it. 😄
Hi Betsy! You're so fun to watch! Yes, please don't hide your beautiful face when filming! LOL! I like your hair that way, too, oh and the sweater is too cute! I love dragonflies and that's the first thing I noticed on it. I really enjoy the history you provide. I'm sure it takes a lot of time researching, but I also know you really enjoy doing that, so thank you so much! I like learning this info, but not so much researching. Those are some really pretty Hoyas! I'd like to have all of them. I hope your thomsonii does really well for you. Actually, I hope they all do really well for you! LOL! Love that you tagged Adam and Miro! Thank you so much for sharing! And yes please to a trellis tutorial.
I have never even heard of most of these Hoyas! Thank you for the video! I haven’t bought a Hoya in a long time (by that I meant like 2 months 😱) but that was because my most recent Hoya purchase cost me a pretty penny! But the variegated Hoya Fishtail is definitely worth it!
The Hoya hanhiae leaves are almost geometric, maybe that's what you meant to say? They're very pretty and I agree about the finlaysonii types. LOVE Hoyas with leaves like that as well!!
I have a Rebecca and it's struggling. It was the first cutting (in a group I bought) to root, but then when I planted it in soil, it did not adapt well, and I think 90% of the roots died. I think it took something like 5 months for the leaves to start looking healthy and plump again. Then it started to grow a new vine, but it died off. It only recently put out one small new leaf, and last time I looked at it, it was looking like it might go yellow. I also bought a camphorifolia on a whim, because the price was decent, and it was a large cutting, but it got red spider mites, I had rooting issues, and now I'm down to 2 leaves on mostly bare stems :( I also got dolichosparte in the same order with the camphorifolia. That one was suggested to grow in semi-hydro. It's doing just fine for me, but in over a year it has not done anything. No new vines, no new leaves not even any nodes that seem to be waking up. But it still looks happy and healthy.
Gosh what a shame! I repotted all of mine into a mix of orchid bark/perlite/a sandy peat mix/worm castings with a bit of dolomite lime and they seem to really like it. It's a very loose mix that doesn't pack even if I squeeze it. The only one that hasn't shown growth yet is the dolichosparte but it was the smallest cutting of all with no new growth when it arrived. We'll see. 😅
Great video with extra historical info which not many youtuber would bother to research or talk about. I have a lot of verticillata. In Australia they still labelling as Pottsii. I only on know them one from Australia is called nichosonia (pardon my misspelling Hehehehe). There are quite a few of those. A coupe of my friends want to collect them all. I have heaps verticillata Chang Mai. They just easy to flower. They seem to all have similar flowers. I love their foliage, arguably my all time favourite. The varigata i just acquired recently. I like all Hoya that orginate from Vietnam (my birth place) and Australia (my country ). I am a refugee (boat people) hehehe
I love all the Hoyas I've seen from Vietnam as well. I will have another verticillata very soon, it was very cheap and it's a clone that looks different than mine. Gotta catch'em all. 😂
Another amazing Hoya video!!! 💜 Thinking your 'Sunrise' might bud a new shoot if the top of the 2-leave connection is above the surface... just a thought 😊
I already ALWAYS love your vids, but when Adam popped up on the screen, I squeaked! I love when my fav CZcamsrs feature each other! And I must start enjoying some Basie Plants...
Hi Betsy! Love your videos (especially Hoya videos and appreciate how you explain the background of the plants), found Miro at Basie Plants because of you at an earlier time, he is so knowledgeable and you both are my “go to” Hoya pals! Miro has the rabbit fence trellises also, such a good idea! Cost effective too, which is so important right now for a lot of folks.
I enjoyed listening and partially watching, while decorating a miniature tree for my neighbor. Thanks for getting into the weeds on nomenclature and history! 🪴❤️
@@betsybegonia Awwww, I actually didn't because it's for a grave headstone, but it is full of sparkly garland and tiny glitter ornaments, so it twinkles in the natural light. But I have those tiny fairy lights for making itty-bitty trees with evergreen stems 🎄
@@betsybegonia you are so sweet ❤️ I can see where my phrasing wasn't clear though - my neighbor asked me to decorate it so she could put it on the grave of one of her family members who passed away a long time ago. She's been having me do her family cemetery decorations for years now. It's a little favor I can do that brings us both happiness 🎄❤️ thank you for your sweet kindness - Hope you are having a wonderful end of November Betsy!
Great haul, thanks for the information! You'll be pleased when you bloom your hoya thomsonii! It's got absolutely wonderful strong fragrance that I adore! It needs a cool and bright light (I keep mine on my south-facing windowsill ) to bloom. Thanks for sharing and happy growing 😀!
I hope your Thomsonii makes it this time! But I dunno .... the species being from the Himalayas makes me think it likes some elevation? So maybe you can take it on an excursion, like a day out, to the Eiffel Tower and maybe Montmartre etc? Perhaps the Swiss Alps are nearby? Or maybe place a print of the Himalayas behind the Thomsonii in order to make it feel at home? Perhaps it likes cold weather? But I go on too long about it. But really an excursion would be nice!
Hi Betsy, long time watcher first time commenter, I just wanted to come here and say how much I love watching your plant videos and enjoy returning to older ones when I want obsess even more over Hoyas :))) thank you so much for all the effort you put into your CZcams videos, they are really a pleasure to watch and I often learn a lot ! Did you ever find that Hoya Obscura you were looking for ? I have an obscura that's gone bananas growing this year and would love to send you a cutting ! I live in France too so would be easy to send. Thanks again, Tom
I love Thomsonii. They are super expensive in Australia right now for me to get one (above 300 bucks Australian). 🥰🥰🥰 we want 10, 000 words thesis about Pottsii from Basie’s plant NOw! Hahaha
I only have a bunch of different Carnosa forms (in my country it's hard to get other Hoyas) and I also noticed that a lot of people are also selling Hoya Carnosa varieties and the true especies as cultivars or other species with splash or different forms, Carnosa polka dot, freckles, stardust and more and more names are actually the "true carnosa" behaving differently, mine is an 100 year old one from a woman that brought it from Italy, every cutting I have looks different, splashy, really dark, tiny or big leaves, and I have them in the same place too, I too recommend doing a bunch of deep scientific research (seeing the exemplars on old photos, descriptions, manuscripts etc...) before buying any Hoya!
I really like Hoya carnosa and I think too many people disregard it because it's common. It's one of my most beautiful Hoyas. And mine just developed its first peduncle!
@@betsybegonia How lucky! Mine had too and when I pruned some stems and planted them sadly they didn't make it, but they are beautiful and the smell OMG so fragant, I do also hold a big place for them in my heart since they flower on my birthday most of the time 🤌🏻💛
Hi Betsy, I love your videos and your sense of humor! I have a question......do you find that you have any trouble with pointing the end of the hoya stem down? I heard they have to point up in order for the plant to grow? Liz
Catching up after holiday but just watched Basie talking about no such thing as Potsi too! I love hoya but get annoyed with all the name changes, wrong names and people fighting about it. Would rather watch you and Basie! Didn't see the newer trellis on store front, in an upcoming video please let us know where you got them!
i have hoya verticillata, the normal green one. but it didnt look like yours. It looks like your verticillata variegata but without the variegation. lol. i love all of your new hoyas tho😍😍
Hey! I just found your channel, and I just wanted to say thanks a lot, now my bank account hates me 😬😁🙄 Ordering at least 4 of these little cuties as soon as I can get a hold of them. But just one quick question, what’s the most important thing I need to be aware of if I’m mail ordering live plants during the winter, specifically in Canada? Which I’m guessing is probably similar to some places in France.
I got a hoya in a trade about a year ago and it was only known as hoya sp.1054. I found out today that it is possibly a parisitica. Looks like little hearts. Do you know if the sp.1054 is in fact a Parisitica? I'd love more info. Thanks for all you do to teach us! 😊
I'm not familiar with that Hoya so I can't say if it's H. verticillata or not. Anything called Hoya parasitica is actually going to be Hoya verticillata. This is a common misnomer for verticillata (so is H. acuta).
😂 He coincidentally talked about it in his video today but he filmed that like a month ago. I didn't know he was going to publish a video on that exact topic today. But he didn't go as in depth as he COULD HAVE.
If I close my eyes I visualize you as the crazy cat lady from the simpsons but instead of throwing cats you throw hoyas XD I absolutely dig your kind of craziness and love every single video you put out!
Honestly I suppose it's because they use surnames. Their wives would have had the same surnames as them. There are some cultivars named after people's using their first names like 'Jennifer' or 'Patricia' but I don't think I've seen a species given anything but a surname.
@@betsybegonia @Betsy Begonia Haha, my comment is a reference to a running joke that is meant to imply that they were 'more than friends' - not sure if that joke landed 🤣. You're right though. It is an uncommon practice to use a first and last name, such as with Agra katewinsletae, but even that may be a more modern practice. Cheers!
To me totally forget "wrong names" would be more confusing 😕 for example, if I would by a plant "Hoya verticilata" without a photo, what is the % I get the one I need? There is a huge difference in foliage between one and other. 🤔
Yes, you have to be able to see it with your own eyes to know if it's the clone you want. As for H. nicholsoniae vs. H. verticillata it's the blooms that give them away--H. verticillata is white, H. nicholsoniae is yellow, more or less.

😂 It's funny even though it's spelled Pottsii.
@@betsybegonia haha! Oh well it’s pronounced the same! 😂💜

I already ALWAYS love your vids, but when Adam popped up on the screen, I squeaked! I love when my fav CZcamsrs feature each other! And I must start enjoying some Basie Plants...
The Rebecca blooms smell so lovely!!
Love this video. Love hoyas!
Love Basie Plants and love your videos! I can’t believe how inexpensive the variegatas were!
Hi Betsy! Love your videos (especially Hoya videos and appreciate how you explain the background of the plants), found Miro at Basie Plants because of you at an earlier time, he is so knowledgeable and you both are my “go to” Hoya pals! Miro has the rabbit fence trellises also, such a good idea! Cost effective too, which is so important right now for a lot of folks.
I definitely got the trellis idea from him.
I enjoyed listening and partially watching, while decorating a miniature tree for my neighbor. Thanks for getting into the weeds on nomenclature and history! 🪴❤️
Did you put teeny tiny lights on it? 🥺
@@betsybegonia Awwww, I actually didn't because it's for a grave headstone, but it is full of sparkly garland and tiny glitter ornaments, so it twinkles in the natural light. But I have those tiny fairy lights for making itty-bitty trees with evergreen stems 🎄
@@cece_marie I'm sorry for your loss. May that little tree glitter on for a long, long time. 💚
@@betsybegonia you are so sweet ❤️ I can see where my phrasing wasn't clear though - my neighbor asked me to decorate it so she could put it on the grave of one of her family members who passed away a long time ago. She's been having me do her family cemetery decorations for years now. It's a little favor I can do that brings us both happiness 🎄❤️ thank you for your sweet kindness - Hope you are having a wonderful end of November Betsy!
Definitely need a deep dive on h. Pottsii since I own one.
Oh, interesting! You'll definitely know what it is when it blooms.
Love your videoes! I would love if you made a video about your top 10 houseplants. I want to se your show stoppers! 🤩🍀 Love from Norway
Thanks for the suggestion. 💚
Looking forward to Miro’s vericillata video!
I love the information you provide.. Nice to know about my Parasitica or lack there of....lol
Well, now you know what it probably is (unless it blooms yellow and then it's probably a H. nicholsoniae 😂).
Great haul, thanks for the information! You'll be pleased when you bloom your hoya thomsonii! It's got absolutely wonderful strong fragrance that I adore! It needs a cool and bright light (I keep mine on my south-facing windowsill ) to bloom. Thanks for sharing and happy growing 😀!
I hope your Thomsonii makes it this time! But I dunno .... the species being from the Himalayas makes me think it likes some elevation? So maybe you can take it on an excursion, like a day out, to the Eiffel Tower and maybe Montmartre etc? Perhaps the Swiss Alps are nearby? Or maybe place a print of the Himalayas behind the Thomsonii in order to make it feel at home? Perhaps it likes cold weather? But I go on too long about it. But really an excursion would be nice!
😂 At first you had me going and then I started laughing.
Hi Betsy, long time watcher first time commenter, I just wanted to come here and say how much I love watching your plant videos and enjoy returning to older ones when I want obsess even more over Hoyas :))) thank you so much for all the effort you put into your CZcams videos, they are really a pleasure to watch and I often learn a lot ! Did you ever find that Hoya Obscura you were looking for ? I have an obscura that's gone bananas growing this year and would love to send you a cutting ! I live in France too so would be easy to send. Thanks again, Tom
Hi Tom! Thanks for the kind message. Yes, I did get ahold of an obscura! 😄
@@betsybegonia glad to hear ! :D
Basie plants we want more!
WE NEED MORE!
Buis nursery is/was (idk) in the Netherlands ! Lida and Anneke are sisters I believe
I love Thomsonii. They are super expensive in Australia right now for me to get one (above 300 bucks Australian). 🥰🥰🥰 we want 10, 000 words thesis about Pottsii from
Basie’s plant NOw! Hahaha
Miro, the people request your knowledge.
OML! I use the same rabbit fencing to make trellises for my Hoyas!
😎
It's perfect! And now my shelves have more space. 😄
Just found your video love it new in Hoya community :) and yes Dear @Basie plants we like to know more please
Thanks betsy! Now i know that my parasitica is actually a verticillata..
Enlightened thx:) no more pottsiis
So fun!
Loved this vid
I only have a bunch of different Carnosa forms (in my country it's hard to get other Hoyas) and I also noticed that a lot of people are also selling Hoya Carnosa varieties and the true especies as cultivars or other species with splash or different forms, Carnosa polka dot, freckles, stardust and more and more names are actually the "true carnosa" behaving differently, mine is an 100 year old one from a woman that brought it from Italy, every cutting I have looks different, splashy, really dark, tiny or big leaves, and I have them in the same place too, I too recommend doing a bunch of deep scientific research (seeing the exemplars on old photos, descriptions, manuscripts etc...) before buying any Hoya!
I really like Hoya carnosa and I think too many people disregard it because it's common. It's one of my most beautiful Hoyas. And mine just developed its first peduncle!
@@betsybegonia How lucky! Mine had too and when I pruned some stems and planted them sadly they didn't make it, but they are beautiful and the smell OMG so fragant, I do also hold a big place for them in my heart since they flower on my birthday most of the time 🤌🏻💛
Basie, we need to know!!
WE GOTTA KNOW, MAN!
Hi Betsy, I love your videos and your sense of humor! I have a question......do you find that you have any trouble with pointing the end of the hoya stem down? I heard they have to point up in order for the plant to grow? Liz
They naturally grow towards the light and the tips will change position all day in my experience.
@@betsybegonia Gotcha! Thanks🌿🌱🪴🌵
Appreciate the IG shoutouts 😁 Particularly Hoyagoddess. She’s super sweet! Received my Rebecca from her 🤗
I was happy to find that she's also a substance disorder recovery advocate. It motivated me to use one of her pics especially. Good for her.
Definitely a passionate spirit 😊
Catching up after holiday but just watched Basie talking about no such thing as Potsi too! I love hoya but get annoyed with all the name changes, wrong names and people fighting about it. Would rather watch you and Basie! Didn't see the newer trellis on store front, in an upcoming video please let us know where you got them!
I made them. A lot of people have requested a video, I'll make one. 😉
@@betsybegonia can't wait!!!!
i have hoya verticillata, the normal green one. but it didnt look like yours. It looks like your verticillata variegata but without the variegation. lol. i love all of your new hoyas tho😍😍
I just got a new verticillata cutting and it looks nothing like my other one.
@@betsybegonia I know right. Amazing they have so many varieties out there. And it just makes me wanna have them all😂
Hey! I just found your channel, and I just wanted to say thanks a lot, now my bank account hates me 😬😁🙄 Ordering at least 4 of these little cuties as soon as I can get a hold of them. But just one quick question, what’s the most important thing I need to be aware of if I’m mail ordering live plants during the winter, specifically in Canada? Which I’m guessing is probably similar to some places in France.
Wow, I thought certain freshwater tropical fish were sold by various "names" (often incorrectly).
So Hoya Patsii is the brontosaurus of hoyas
😂 I think so. And I think there are many more.
Full thesis please 🙏🏻
@Basie Plants, the people need to know.
I got a hoya in a trade about a year ago and it was only known as hoya sp.1054. I found out today that it is possibly a parisitica. Looks like little hearts. Do you know if the sp.1054 is in fact a Parisitica? I'd love more info. Thanks for all you do to teach us! 😊
I'm not familiar with that Hoya so I can't say if it's H. verticillata or not. Anything called Hoya parasitica is actually going to be Hoya verticillata. This is a common misnomer for verticillata (so is H. acuta).
wait. but will we be getting a video on how to make the trellises?
I've had a lot of requests so probably, yes. 😂
But isn‘t h.sigillatis the one with the small thin super splashy leaves? Now I am confused.. Dear @basie plants we need to know EVERYTHING!
😂 He coincidentally talked about it in his video today but he filmed that like a month ago. I didn't know he was going to publish a video on that exact topic today. But he didn't go as in depth as he COULD HAVE.
If I close my eyes I visualize you as the crazy cat lady from the simpsons but instead of throwing cats you throw hoyas XD
I absolutely dig your kind of craziness and love every single video you put out!
You're not wrong. I'll give it to you.
@@betsybegonia 🙇🏻♀️ all hail to the crazy hoya lady 🙌
25:47 "Not a lot of Hoyas named after their wives" 👀 And they were roommates.
Honestly I suppose it's because they use surnames. Their wives would have had the same surnames as them. There are some cultivars named after people's using their first names like 'Jennifer' or 'Patricia' but I don't think I've seen a species given anything but a surname.
@@betsybegonia @Betsy Begonia Haha, my comment is a reference to a running joke that is meant to imply that they were 'more than friends' - not sure if that joke landed 🤣.
You're right though. It is an uncommon practice to use a first and last name, such as with Agra katewinsletae, but even that may be a more modern practice. Cheers!
@@NinjaXryho Oh I've thought about it. 😂
Miro, if you need the encouragement, here it is!!! Come on!!! 💚 Love you Betsy! @basieplants
💚 haha thanks for the encouragement.
To me totally forget "wrong names" would be more confusing 😕 for example, if I would by a plant "Hoya verticilata" without a photo, what is the % I get the one I need? There is a huge difference in foliage between one and other. 🤔
Yes, you have to be able to see it with your own eyes to know if it's the clone you want. As for H. nicholsoniae vs. H. verticillata it's the blooms that give them away--H. verticillata is white, H. nicholsoniae is yellow, more or less.
@@betsybegonia also... I have "pottsii" Kuranda IML-0039 🤣 so I suspect that it is Hoya nicholsoniae 😅 I will wait for flowers to confirm 😬
