Hi Doug, I wrote to you a while ago and told you about a hoya that was my mothers. The plant is about 40 years old. The first time it ever bloomed was after I repotted it into an Orchid pot which has slots for the roots to breath and to see how the roots were doing. Also the plant is potted in bark just like my orchids so the water drains faster but you must water more often. The pots come in different sizes on the internet at Wal Mart. They also have the outer pot to fit. Hope this helps

I'm somewhat new to the hobby but have been thinking about this issue since some of these pots can get real expensive for larger sizes, and there is the root issue you mentioned with slotted pots, and the issue of too much open pots where they dry out too fast then. What I've come up with is just buying the cheap plastic basically nursery pots the ones with lots of holes on the bottom then getting this nylon/plastic mesh tubing which is used in crafts to add aeration. Cut the tubing to the height of the pot use likely two or more depending on pot size, just put a ring of glue from a hot glue gun on the end of the tube and stick it over one of the holes inside the pot, then put a dot on the inside of the top of the tube to seal the top so dirt doesn't get in. So now you have aeration not from the sides of the pot but inside the substrate for more even drying and airflow. Depending on the size of the pot a person could even put one or more in the center. I have a feeling this is something many plants would love. And it's super simple, cheap, and takes like seconds to do. Here is an example of it. They come in lots of colors, but I assume black to blend in with the soil is the best. It's dirt cheap too. They do come in different sizes so a person would want the tubes at least wide enough to go around a drainage hole to glue on. Thought maybe this is a good idea some people would like to know about. Also if you don't mind me asking what are some good high mileage hoya for the house for say frequent showy blooms throughout the year? I just got a hoya lacunosa that is supposed to be floral fragrant not a cinnamon one. Looking for maybe 1-3 others. But it's overwhelming the choices. Hoya bella stood out when I saw your video on it. Thanks, enjoying your videos. www.amazon.com/Firefly-Imports-Homeford-Wreaths-10-Yard/dp/B00MMPCGGM/ref=sr_1_14?crid=P6GZZC9SUTYM&keywords=nylon%2Bmesh%2Btubing&qid=1569841243&s=gateway&sprefix=nylon%2Bmesh%2Caps%2C222&sr=8-14&th=1

You put a lot of thought into your idea of getting aeration into the pot, but I have used a pot that had a similar concept, and it did not work well for me at all. They were called air cone pots : www.chulaorchids.com/aircone-pots.html I find that the major benefit of the net pots for me is that I can easily tell by looking at the sides of the pot when I need to water. It is not so much about the aeration as when to water. I am still using these net pots, which has helped my growing tremendously. I really do appreciate your sharing your method with me though. As far as frequent flowering Hoyas in the house. I recommend H. lobbii, H. rosarioae, H. Rebecca, and H. DS-70. There are many others such as Hoya lockii, but they require high humidity and good light to flower continually.

Hi Doug! Glad to see the net pots are working out for you! I really enjoyed your videos! I have found out that the cheep plastic orange pots at the dollar stores ( 6 pack for 1$) work out great for the 4 inch pots. The ones you were talking about around 4:40 into your video. Another additional advantage is the extra oxygen that the roots are exposed too with the small gap between the outer pot and the net pot.I'll email you soon about my latest experiments, as I believe there is a lot to learn about sphagnum moss and hoyas!

I thought the same thing as you about trying the net pots without the cache pots, and it just does not work out well. It is similar to using terracotta pots - drying out rapidly from the edges seems to kill the roots, and adversely affects the plant. Possibly it would work well if you had continuous 90% humidity.

Hi rosealina, Although a large number of people still believe that Hoyas bloom best when pot bound, I have not found that to be the case. As a matter of fact, all Hoyas benefit from being transplanted at least every two years. An extremely pot-bound Hoya is not a happy plant, and in most cases will limit the amount of flowering, or it will stop altogether. There are some H. carnosa that will flower for quite a few years when pot-bound, but even these will eventually stop if not re-potted. Thank you for the great question!

Hi Eddie, I am always experimenting and switching from one method to another. I still use net pots, but not as often as I should. They really do work, but I get lazy sometimes and don't bother with them. I do use leca and Pon, if I have had troubles using other methods. The ideal situation is to have enough plant to be able to grow them using different methods to see which works best. I just did that with Hoya insularis; I lost the one grown in soil, but the one growing in leca is thriving. When you only have one, very small, expensive plant, it is really tough to know how to proceed with it, and I only get it right about half of the time.

Hi Doug! I'm a new hoya home-grower from India. I've seen nurseries here put their hoyas directly in net pots and not put a liner on. But then they have misters working twice a day during the hot summers here which is not possible for me at home. My question is will putting the liner make it sweaty and cause root rot? ( At present I grow mine in transparent plastic containers where I can see the moisture content, but also can see the water beading up like sweat around the side of the pot.)

Hi Usha, I am excited to know that someone from India watches my videos! You are very astute noticing the moisture on the sides of your clear pots and wondering if that would cause root rot using a net pot with an outer cache pot. You are absolutely correct in your line of thinking. I have had some root rot from exactly what you are describing. It creates a problem, because without the cache pot, unless you have incredible humidity all the time, it will dry out the roots that emerge from the pot. The key is to use a net pot that has a very wide lip at the top that allows you to use a cache pot that is big enough to keep the net pot from 1/8 to 1/4 inch away from the sides of the cache pot. I know that this is not easy to find as I have had problems with this as well. I don't know that there is any perfect answer to keep root rot at bay, as I still have many issues with it even after 15 years of growing.
