Hoya Kerrii

Do you think this 4" Kerrii is worth $25

    It is a cute looking one, I was lucky enough to get mine for $15, but it was a local purchase. I think mine has bigger leaves and the clone I have often throws the ugliest leaves you ever did see, lol. I am not sure what Gardinos sells theirs for, or how large. $25 may be a tad bit on the steep side to me, but not terrible. If I did not already have a couple kerrii's I might consider it.

    Thanks. I don't have any Kerrie's (but do have a couple obovatas). I'd love a variegated one but I guess an all green isn't bad. It's too bad Gardinos seems to be out of stock on most Hoyas.

    I was thinking of trying Violet Barn although they choose the varieties to ship and I may already have those.

    Has anyone ordered from base_cactus_and_succulents on eBay?

    As much as I love the Violet Barn and look forward to my next order (take a gander at Streptocarpus if you have not heard of them), I would not recomend you buy a kerrii from them.

    The Hoyas they sell are TINY, and kerrii is not exactly a fast grower. Though, both mine grow faster than my silly compacta. Need some serious patience I would suspect, if ordering a kerrii from them. Don't get me wrong, plants are healthy, inexpensive, and well packaged.

    But me personally will save them for Gesneriads and faster growing Hoya. I have every intention of picking up a linearis or three from them later in the year, and ohmygosh Petrocosmea forestii, not a Hoya but adorable. :)

    Thanks Kim. On their web page right now they don't give you an option to choose hoyas. They pick 5 for $25.00 plus shipping. Not sure if I should go for it as I may get duplicates of what I already have.

    Really? Oh, wait. Above that, there are a couple links... one says cascading, the other climbing or something like that. Those will take you to what is available, I was on there this morning and didnt see any kerrii. $25 really is not too bad for the one you posted, its got a nice form and looks well established.

    My only Hoya purchase from them was one of those 5 packs. I got an australis "Lizard Isle", but gave that to a friend. The rest I still have and are doing good, H. pubicalyx "Bright One", limoniaca, neoebudica, and Dischidia ruscifolia. The latter I was mildly disapointed in at first since I was expecting all Hoyas, but now it is my favorite of the group. All have done pretty well for me so far.

    They are also good for some somewhat harder to come by types, specifically polyneura, serpens, multiflora, and linnearis.

    I wish I lived close enough to visit their greenhouse, they sell a lot of stuff there not offered on their website.

    I did once years ago...got the kerrii and a few others.I have a variegated kerrii from them too in the same pot,but the all green kerrii overpowers it and it is still small.Plants came in good condition.I visited the garden last summer while seeing the fokes and picked up a nice bella from there.I would call them and see if they have what you want in stock and tell them to ship it too you!
