Newbies looking for carnosa?

11 years ago

Is there a newbie who doesn't already have a carnosa that would like one for postage? I "inherited" a few Hoyas from someone who was moving, and one is a carnosa. Of course, I already have one and I have a real space issue going on here! Anyway, the guy who grew this is someone who grows plants "hard", which just means in a LOT of sun and not a lot of fertilization. So it was a little washed out when I got it. It's now greened back up and has some beautiful new growth on it. It's in about a 6" pot and is a good start, will probably be a large plant before you know it. I was going to post a pic, but it's out on the back deck and it's raining cats and dogs (again! - been raining for 2 days!) I can send along a photo to anyone interested. Just e-mail me through GW...

Hi Janisoga. Yes, I still have it. Here's a photo...

You can really see the hard water spots on the leaves with the flash - the guy who had it had hard well water. I use R.O. water and never have that spotting issue... But it just takes a good wiping with some white vinegar to get the spots off. And you can see the nice, green new growth. That's how it will grow out if you grow it in an east window inside, or in a shady spot outside.

Wow, that looks like a pretty good size plant, how large is it? I didn't realize this was under "trade" - I haven't been on the site or had time for this stuff for a while, but wanting to get back in the wagon. I don't have anything to trade, but will buy it. Please let me know, thank you. If you recall, a number of years ago we corresponded and you helped me out with some hoya info :-) I'm exceited to get some new ones.

Hi Janisoga. Yes, it will just be postage. I already have a carnosa and I sort of "inherited" this one. Contact me at my e-mail greengirl1958@yahoo.com and we can firm up the details.
