Tips for REPOTTING a ROOT-BOUND HOYA - Ep. 253
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- I ordered a new Hoya obovata and when I took it out of the box, even though it had a beautiful peduncle on it-and looked as if it may bloom, it had a general chlorosis that worried me. As soon as I pulled it out of its nursery pot-I saw what was wrong: It was not only terribly root-bound, but the potting medium had shrunk and it was impossible for the plant to obtain any nutrition, so we're going to try to resolve that here.

I'll keep everyone updated on the Hoya progress. Will say the thumbnail shot for this video was taken approximately 1 week after the new repot and fertilize and the leaves have already started to green up so nicely.
I need to add a Hoya to my collection. Thank you Summer Rayne Oakes! 👍🏼❤️🪴
I recently came into possession of my grandmother’s 54 year old Hoya carnosa which has to her knowledge never been repotted… without saying too much I needed the tips in this video!
I have never seen a root bound Hoya! Wow those roots! That is such a beautiful full plant.
Getting the perlite a bit wet before working with it prevents that fine dust from floating around. I just spay it a bit with a spray bottle.
Thank you for a great video. Hoya obovata is on my wish list 😍.
I'm so glad I'm not the only person who lovers Dr. Bronners castle soap
Sorting out root-bound plants is so satisfying, even though it takes ages! I hope this one makes a full recovery, I'm sure it will in your care.
Yes lol when she said “if it’s therapeutic for you….” I was like ME 🤣🙏🏾🙌🏾
So, each time I watch your show, I learn something new and very helpful, plus I get a reason to go shopping for plant care products and the best potting soil. This is a happy situation that you encourage me, and ultimately improve the health of my plants. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your love of plants.
For epiphytic Hoyas, it doesn't require any soil/rock particles, but bark like medium. I'm from the Philippines btw, we use purely coco husk/chunks.
Hello from subtropical Queensland Australia. All my hoyas are in small terracotta pots with orchid mix pumice and some sphagnum moss and are allowed to express their epiphytic character growing in palms , cordylines and assorted trees. They grow with their epiphytic orchid friends including vanilla and they flower constantly. They get the morning sun and afternoon shade. One is just about to grow into constant sunshine and I now can’t wait to see if the leaves yellow or if the Hoya starts to grow downwards. Seems so unfair others have to battle growing hoyas, but we don’t have daffodils tulips and autumn leaves.
Super helpful. I got a large Hoya obovata this weekend with the same issue. I purchased it because I want to repot it and propagate it, I am sure it's root-bound and definitely needs time to get back to the lovely darker green . Thank you!
Thanks girl! My hoya is ROOTBOUND to the MAXXX & I was freaking out because the roots are beautiful but weren't getting any nutrition. You helped a lot!
This was so helpful. Showing how to nurse a borderline sick root bound plant back to thriving condition gave me the confidence I needed to transfer my small collection into the right soil medium, the right pot type and size and the best lighting for them. Summer has almost arrived here in Florida so now is the time. Hoyas like summer in Florida. Thank you Summer for putting this all together.
Amazing how over stressed plants show under growth and just decline on health in good time. Thank you for sharing this with us. Very informative. Love Maria Montreal Canada 😻🌺
Bedraggled, great word!! Love you!
Thank you Summer Rayne. Just got a Hoya from my father.
Wow those roots! Can’t wait to see how it looks next year!
I just received one that makes yours look healthy
Thank you for the explanation about lighting for the Hoyas, I was treating them as cactus.
That was my initial inclination too when I got my first Hoya.
Yeeessss, Love this video. Very good specimen for teaching. Really hope your Obovata bounces back in no time.
BTW this plants is a fighter, a survivor.
would you do a follow up video please? When you got the chance.
Thank you in advance
Absolutely. Also, just wanted to note that the thumbnail was taken approx. 1 week after and the leaves are already starting to green up and slowly "unwrinkle" ...Very happy with the progress thus far!
Hi Summer! Thank you so much for sharing how you were able to loosen the roots on your root bound Obovata! It was very interesting and helpful!
Thanks for this. Can you please give us updates on how it’s doing?
Absolutely. It's really started to green up already. Actually, the thumbnail shows it one week later, and it's already turning a beautiful hue of green compared to the overall yellow malaise it had before.
I do like this video, don’t get me wrong. Your doing a great job on educating the public with plants and problems.
Definitely would love an update. What a beautiful plant. I need one💚🥰
Love Dr Bronners peppermint soap 😊 I use it with neem oil during the monthly pamper sessions for my plants 🪴 I don’t use soil anymore but use pon so during the pamper session they also get flushed. Looking forward to seeing your obovata recover, the variegated version is on my wish list.
Nice to know you're a bronner fan too. And I haven't moved much to pon at all, but so many people have!
0:09 seconds in and I’m super happy because I’m so conditioned to the music intro for your videos it now signals instant plant-happy. 😂😂😂
I think that’s why I will not be a leca grower anytime soon. I love making up my own mixes. That looked such a satisfying job ❤🪴
I love watching your channel. You have taught me so much, never stop.
I recently am into Hoya's.
So tell us all you know.
Thanks for sharing. I need to rewatch your fertilizer episode. I'm always unsure about the appropriate fertilizer.
Hi Summer, good luck with beauty! I have most of my Hoyas and Orchids I LECA and they are just loving it! I did have a few that just did like it and back to my homemade potting mix they went. I just purchased two Hoya Curtsii and ill try to transition them to LECA next spring. And they are so tiny and adorable! 😍😍. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Cool. I know lots of folks have moved over to LECA. From what I've seen, plants look happy and healthy but interesting that some of yours didn't take to it. That's what we're here for, to experiment, observe, and educated! Very good! Thanks for sharing.
Love your videos. The hoya looks happier already.
Don't we all after a little massage? ;)
Thanks for sharing Summer! Please do an update video so we can see how it turned out! :)
Thanks. Will do!
I enjoy learning from your experiences and others you tour. You know this now but, the light blue label of Dr. Bonner's Castille soap is baby friendly and unscented.
I'm happy to watch your work, you're a real garden lover, awesome sharing!
A big HEJ from sweden to you Summer! Congrats on your flourishing channel, you’ve become my most trusted youtube guide for houseplants! Love your genuine, professional and scientific approach. Which leads me to a question: given all kinds of care “hypes” out there could you talk about for example “leaf shine”, does and don’ts, is it at all beneficial to our plants??
Thank you & looking forward to your next video
/sabrina
Your video came just on time my ovovata is having the same problem, thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you for the video nice to get to stay home and watch a Summer video.
Glad you enjoyed. Have a great day!
Thank you! This was so helpful!
Happy Thanksgiving.
You too!
Wonderful video, Summer. Can i cut off some roots before i repot my overgrown rootbound hoyas?
information what you shared amazing it's great to see plant lover amazing keep up
Loved this video
Great video. Love Hoya plants and their flowers
Hi just found your channel an enjoyed this Video. I am a new Hoya owner of a little Mathilde. So cute. Won't be repot for 3 to 6 months but have a fertilizer Dya Gro Foliage 9-3-6 I was going to use. Hope it's OK. With Cactus Soil and extra perlite and bark. Thanks dear.
Atumn is typically a good time to transplant indoor plants ? Noticed nodules on the flower branch were those roots to be propagated or does this plant have to be divided. could listen to you all day long … and I do on the road keeps me calm cause I drive for work and always on guard. you really do it for me the knowledge you share seems endless and would love to find a plant lady of my own to join in my love for flora. completely fell in love after this one my gut tells me Ill be falling back on your channel for advice once I curate my apartment with some A+ varietals / cultivars (dying to get a prayer plant ) speaking of prayers I pray you are always in a positive place with optimism and good people that are true friends that guide you in the right direction so you achieve the goals you set forth effortlessly seek fortune with a pure intent and you might find yourself with abundance. love you… night be good lol think you got that covered tho!!!
I learn so much from your videos. Thank you.
This a great standard Hoya mix. I would love you too do a video on the range of Hoyas and their varied Hoya soil mixes. Something we discuss a lot in the Hoya hunter community. Some like a acidic soil and some love alkaline. I have some just in pon.
You may like these videos on the channel then if you haven't yet watched: czcams.com/video/lyYCttZDiAM/video.html - czcams.com/video/4f_KIujYS0A/video.html ... .Goes a bit more into different natural histories of hoyas and their preferred requirements, etc.
That poor plant was really pitiful but I’m sure it will bounce back in time. I don’t understand why someone would sell a plant in such a state. Good luck.
What's heartening is that we took the thumbnail of the video a week later and it's already starting to green up nicely from its original state.
my soil has hardened in a pothos + chain of hearts :(( i’m trying your method as we speak. thank you so much! you are beyond knowledgeable x
Loved this I do not presently own a Hoya plant as yet but I am looking forward to owning one soon.
Thanks! Great info!!
Happy thanksgiving, Summer Crunch!!
Very informative. Have no any idea about hoya plants. Don't have one in my garden.😅🍃 But wanna get them too.
wow that a lush Hoya plant
I can’t believe someone sold you a plant in that condition 😳🥺 they should be ashamed! Thank goodness that it ended up with you, who know how to bring it back from the " living dead " state 😘👍🏽🙏🏽 Good tip with the soap! Thanks 🙏🏽
Very informative and helpful video. Thanks Summer! 🌸💕
GREAT THANKS
I enjoyed the video and appreciated the info.
Hi! Vermont neighbor here! Would love to hear how you winter your indoor plants, any tips? I do have a humidifier going 6 hours a day because the air gets so dry here.
Thanks for video, love this plant😍 I have too in my house
Great informative video Summer, as always. Have you ever used a Hydrogen Peroxide mix to loosen the rootball? I've been reading that it airiates the soil, sterilises it, and its great for getting rid of a host of different bugs.
Anyone have thoughts on H/P?
Does using H2O2 make much of a difference on soil porosity? I don't know. I'll have to do more research on that. I'm sure, however, that it would make a nice disinfectant, but whether it disinfects both beneficial and non-beneficial bacteria/organisms, I don't know.
@@summerrayneoakes it would disinfect everything, including beneficial stuff
Store bought hydrogen peroxide contains trace silver and can retard growth long term :( probably as a one time thing it would be ok but apparently not great to use
Love this video! Thanks 💚🪴
I would immediately take this Hoya out of its new pot and repot it into a conical shaped container. If you keep it where it is and the root system grows to the edges you won't be able to ever remove it again due to the pot being wider at the bottom than the top.
... I have made that mistake myself and had to break the pot! 😪💔
With these pots it can help to let the plant dry out completely, the roots shrink up and might let you squeeze them out
Enjoyed this one
Not sure what happened, but I literally lost about 4 hoyas...😒🤷🏾♀️.
I've given up on them. But still admire them from a distance. 🤦🏾♀️
Thank you for the sharing .This is so interesting. so beautiful.
Loved this video! Very interesting to see you troubleshooting your plant! My obovata is a lighter green as well (not root bound), i have it growing under a grow light in a cabinet - do you thing that might be a reason why it lost its deep green colour? I live in bc and we don't have a lot of sun outside of summer months so having it under a grow light might mean it potentially won't have enough
That would be plausible to think the light has something to do with it. Only way to know is to experiment further. I have a Philodendron and the leaves that grow towards the light lose their chlorophyll (or it degrades) and those leaves are often lighter.
@@summerrayneoakes good to know! Will give it a try :) thank you!
Nice video, there are alot of hoyas enjoy alot more light not all hoyas do well in low light.
i used to use bark in my plants, but i found for me it robs the plant of nutirnets and also causes bugs
First to like n comment
We always gain lots of Information and knowledge about different plants from your lovely videos. Thank you very much.
Enjoy . Today I am rearranging my balcony Garden.
With Love from SAM

Very dry alright!
Thanks very helpful!
Omg I had to click on this because this looks EXACTLY like my Hoya obovata
Crazy roots! Wonder how old or how long it was living in the pot
Your guess is as good as mine!
Beautiful plant on a wooden planter on the back! How is it called?
Love your outfit!
Hey thanks!
I am excited for this video.
❣️🎉🇵🇭
Your home very beautiful i like it
I have a feeling that I did a really bad thing cutting the hoya vine shorter. I see them everywhere with those vines hanging, but still I couldn't resist, and cut it. I'm learning now that potential flowers would grow off those vines? Should I really worry?
I have a burros tail in really hard peat mix.. that desperately needs a repot! it’s so delicate any tips??
Where did you buy it from?! I love it.
Beautiful Plant 💐💐 new friends 😊🌻❤️
I make sure my perlite has been moistened before pouring...safer...
I'm scared to repot my Hindu rope plant Hoya because it's doing so well. But I have not repotted it for over 4 years
Can you use tree parts in soil, like broken off branches, to create areation?
If they are sterilized, I wouldn't hesitate.
Wouldn’t vitamin B-1 the best solution in water and then soak it for a week or so? Then transplant it in better soil?
Does anyone know if the type of soap used matters? I have a very similar root bound obovata I want to save. 🙏
i have the dr bronner in citrus is that ok to use for plants like hoya and syngonium pink?
Yes👍👍👍from aceh
Did you put it back in to the same pot?
I use coco. is it good?
Question should I repot my Hoya carnarosa now that it’s winter in Montana or wait till spring?
My Hoya plant is really over grown what should I do with my plant?
Interesting that it is a Hoya obovata. The second I saw it I thought 'Hoya australis' because that is exactly what H. austrralis' leaves look like when they have too much sun ect. The flowers look the same too... more research is needed....
The difference between you and every other plantuber...
Summer while repotting - Here's what's wrong with your plant, here's how to help it, this is the fertilizer you need because... you should use this pot to prevent... this is what happens when you do this...
Everyone else while repotting - O.. M.. G.. let me tell you what happened to me today, you will just DIE
Thank you for QUALITY content
I always thought if you change the soil out you shouldn’t fertilize right away since the new soil is full of nutrients already. Also, orchid potting mix is acidic right? Wouldn’t it be too much for a Hoya?
The orchid bark mix doesn't have any additional nutrients other than aged pine bark, horticultural charcoal, perlite. It's more of a neutral pH because they add limestone to adjust it. Over time, as the components, like the bark, begin to break down, they'll release some nutrients, but consider that a long, long, slow release. With an organic fertilizer, you won't have any issue either. I typically would be winding down on fertilizing about now anyway, but this plant was clearly without access to nutrients for a while for its root-boundedness, so that's the decision that felt right to me. I will say that the thumbnail shot was done about a week after and the leaves have already started to green up nicely. I think if I give it just a few more weeks, it'll be a lot better. I still want to possibly add some magnesium as well.
@@summerrayneoakes thank you for the explanation. I understand now! I hear people using cal-mag to green up their foliage. Have you tried it?

Very important 😊👍🌟❤
I would get a refund. Shame on the seller for sending such a stressed plant
It was sadly stressed, but it's already greening up with some good love. I'm actually surprised how quickly it started to green up.
How is this plant doing now? Inquiring minds need to know! 🤓
