What's HD?

Home Depot. I have heard you can find lacunosa and DS-70 at these, but I haven't seen any yet myself. I might have to snag a lacunosa if I see one.

I'll take pics if I see any Hoyas

Really thanks! I think I'll call mine to see

Wouldn't bet on it helping

Bad news, no Hoyas. Almost picked up a mystery succulent/ cactus but I'm limited on space + I can't condone spray painting plants to make them sell.

On a bright note I got some nice ingredients for my future planting projects

Oh my gosh I hate it when they spray paint plants. Every time I see a nice haworthia, its spray painted.

its bad enough when they glitter them at christmas but why neon spray paints?

You can save a glittered plant now and then but how can it photo through paint?

My lowes always has different hoyas. they have had kerri, fishtail, lacunosa, rubra, and carnosa. They even had one i have never seen there before when i went last week. The lowes in my town is not that busy so i always get hoyas there on clearance.

Yes they had the ds-70 but the tag on it said breveliata. It was 6 inch pot for 9.99 but i was not interested.

might check out lowes some time but i just got my cuttings and it is really far out of my way

my box stores almost never have hoyas :-(

Same here Laura, same here. It's been a couple of years since I started to look for Hoyas at each of the box stores I go to, and still no luck.... :(

im going to keep looking though

lowes has rope hoya listed on their website. right next to a picture of golden pothos... the site says call your local store for availabillity

My local garden center/nursery also has hoyas so you may want to check out places around you besides box stores. My walmart also has hoyas regularly and so do grocery stores.

so what magical place do you live in and how much is a plane ticket? lol

serriously lucky for you though

I've been calling and visiting every nursery around my area. Nothing than a poor carnosa compacta which I honestly don't care about. A tiny one, super-overpriced if I can say that. And we drove 13 miles away because the lady on the phone had no clue what type of Hoya it was. :(

Lol mimalf that is so funny and sad at the same time. lol i cant believe she did not know what kind it was.

This is the HUGE one i brought from the garden center last September but sadly it died when i repotted it in the winter time.

I feel your pain, the only nursery that knew what i meant when i said hoya had some variegated carnosa (I did get a couple) 1 variegated compacta (which i also took home) and a hoya that was labeled variegated carnosa but was neither variegated nor a carnosa! Jan Sword was nice enough to help me identify it as an australis tenupes.

Oh, that's quite a variety of offerings you had there, Stacy! I wish I found a variegated carnosa, and even more an australis of any kind!

Tibean, I liked your photo for the beauty of the plant, but I'm sorry it died....

How can you people find plants that big for sale, when the only Hoyas I've found in a couple of years of searching, in that nursery, were actually 2 tiny carnosa compacta (Hindu rope) no taller than 8" and only one stem/plant/cutting in the pot!! (so they were 2 pots)

from how she was talking i think this trphid i took home was a fluke she said all they ever get is carnosa and compacta and actually looked confused when i asked if they had the all green carnosa, she told me no one grows them... all the more reason to keep my first hoya alive. and my compacta is really tiny

The garden center i go to has very lush nice sized variegated carnosas in stock now.

Do you want there contact info? Maybe they can ship you one.

Thanks a lot, Tibean, very kind of you. What state do you live in?

I live in Arkansas.

The Good Earth Garden Center

Thanks, I will look into them but in a month or so, when the weather will be milder here. Too many of the cuttings I've ordered arrived dead or seriously shaken up.
