This meme has me 🤣. I imagine this as my plant when I’m looking at it confused as to why they’re struggling and their leaves look so haggard; they’re like, it’s the humidity… duh! Seriously though, it's the remedy for SO. MANY. PLANTS. {Tolerates any humidity level} for tropical plants, especially #Hoyas, is feeling more and more like a lie! "Hoyas are easy, low maintenance plants for first time plant owners." Baahhaahaha... challenge accepted. *Catharina enters... kills her first THREE Hoyas* ✅ So many pebble trays everywhere, check. ✅ Two humidifiers running 24/7, also check. ✅ Hours of research to save ONE two inch plant, so many checks. ✅ Learning, remembering, AND using words I didn't know existed in regular conversation, uhhh... yep! ✅ PlantTok showing up on my husband's TikTok feed because I talk too much about plants, again check! How is this my life? #Hoya #HoyaHangout #HumidityMatters #HumidityIsLife #HowIs70PercentPossible? #FormerHoyaHater #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantMafia #GregGang #CateKills #EasyLenny

Idk what’s wrong with my poor Xena…. She’s not doing well at all, her leaves have all died off and I’ve already changed soil. I’m not sure she’s even salvageable 😩 #Hoya

Standing out back with the animals / stalking my plant shelf and I notice a couple of new leaves on my hoya polyneura up top. Pretty to look at but also, no more of those all white, please #Hoya #HappyPlants

This bad boy and his baby are just showing off in that plastic cup. I got me a new little shelf for $8 at Rose's and my little hoya fits nicely inside. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #aloevera #hoya #hoyahangout #plantmafia

Hey, I was told this is a curly lipstick plant. All the new leaves at the tips have tiny brown spots? Can you help? I got it at Walmart thinking it was drowning, so I took of the bottom tray. #Hoya

Jazzy's Journey Wow has she been through it. Her current state is trying to root in a plastic bag with perlite. I'm honestly devastated she got root rot & just overall upset. Trying my best to save her!!! Have you guys propagated like this ever && if not what do you feel is the best method? Blessings ☀️🍀💖 #Hoya #HoyaHangout #HoyaAddicts #NewPlantMom #advice #Question

To save or not to save! #dealornodeal That is the question 😅 Best 2 ( for both #FloridaGhost & #Hoya ) on the tiny clearance rack. 🫣🥴🤣 Sometimes I can’t help myself! I suppose it’s more like #ballinonabudget 😎 What would you have done? Pass or purchase? Do you think they’re worth saving? Side note: The heart shaped Hoyas were really for fun and a good deal imo considering the fact that they had others for full price at $7.99. Nothing wrong with these other than missing soil and an accent envelope. I realized last time I bought one they won’t grow another leaf 🫠 and no real way to propagate from this. Womp! Womp! Tricksters!!! Anyway! Going to let these settle for a day of two. Spray it down with neem oil #spidermites 😐) snip, repot and hope for the best 🤞🏼! Haven’t done a ton of research just yet… Any tips would be much appreciated 🙌🏼 #hollaforadollar 🤣🙌🏼💯 #GregGang #plantsonclearance #goHAMgeo #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy #rescue #SaveAPlant
