new hoyas

17 years ago

The mail man brought me my order from Thailand. The box was shipped on Aug 29th and it arrived Oct 5th. I only paid for reg mail so very fast.I got 5 small rooted cuttings for 29.00 dollars.

This is what I received H.globulosa, H.naumanni, H.parasitica albomarinata,H.verticiata veriegated and H.mitrata.Of the 5,My fav is H.globulosa its so cute and has fuzzy leaves.

This is what they looked like coming out of the box.



Here they are in there new pots.

Sorry H.naumannii is not in the potted up pic, it needed a bit more TLC. This is my second try at this hoya this year and I am going to baby it a bit until it gets going.

Thanks for looking

Cindy

    Very Impressive considering the time in nthe box! maybe I will give them a try next year. I have had a couple people offer me cuttings, and one that I will do a trade with. Good luck, I hope that H.naumannii makes it and blooms its head off for you!

    Cindy. congrats! the cuttings looks great for being in the box for a long time. I think hoyas have an amazing will to survive.

    Wow, that really was quick for regular shipping! Did the $29 include shipping? What day did you place the order? One of the Thai vendors indicates that it takes several weeks to prepare the plants for shipping....can't remember which one it was though.

    Wow that is the longest trip a Hoya has survived so far out of forum members orders, beats my plants 21 days by far. I am happy that they are as healthy as they are, hopefully they all make it.

    Kelly - Plumerindr is who said it takes 2 wks. to prepare plants for the trip.
    It didn't take that long for him to ship out my order. Now the wait game till it arrives. He shipped this morning (7th).,,,,Debbie

    Just realized- was the ship date Aug 29th or Sept 29th? I was assuming 9/29 since you said it was quick and because they look pretty good!

    Cindy, those cuttings were in the mail for 6 Weeks?? Or was the ship date a typo and should have been Sept. 29? OMG,if it was 6 weeks...they look amazing for that length of time.

    Very NICE hoyas Cindy!!

    Dee I paid for the Express shipping which is faster and you get a tracking number. I like watching the boxes travel to me on the internet. haha. Usually EMS takes 8 days to get to me. With the regular post ($12) he offered I have had orders from Thailand vendors take from 7-19 days. Scares me when they take so long. Afraid I will open a box of mush.
    I'll let you know when mine arrives and do let me know if yours beats mine!,,,,Debbie
