Troubleshooting my Wedding Hoya Heart Lighting with Leslie Halleck

Troubleshooting my Wedding Hoya Hearts lighting set up! For my wedding I had 150 Hoya Hearts for table centerpieces and favors - they were AMAZING but a lot to manage before the wedding! After the Hoya Hearts arrived, I was worried that they weren’t getting enough light, but was scared to either burn or underlight them, in an important time that I needed to nail perfectly so they were in amazing shape for the wedding!

I called my friend and horticulturist Leslie Halleck (and author of Gardening Under Lights, a book about grow lights!) to coach me through my grow light set up for all these Hoyas. I’m sharing our coaching session as a little behind the scenes look at everything that went into my wedding Hoya Hearts (more planty wedding content coming soon!)

This video also celebrates the launch of the Bloom & Grow [Virtual] Garden Society Platform! It’s your one stop shop for Plant Parenthood Growth! Leslie is joining me as the Society Horticulturist in Residence to create exclusive educational content for our community, with her decades of expertise as a professional Horticulturist and Plant Science Educator. 

You can also have Leslie coach you like this, in our monthly AHAs (Ask Our Horticulturist Anything) in the Garden Society!
