My first Logee's purchase is on its way

I received notification today that my hoya ilagiorum shipped. I've never been able to order anything from Logee's. Most of their hoyas are always sold out. This time, I managed to find one and place an order. I received a reply two days later telling me the plant was backordered and did I want to wait or cancel my order. I chose to wait! That was on March 14. It shipped today. I can hardly wait to see what type/size/condition of plant I will receive from Logee's. I'll be sure to post pics when it arrives. I just had to share my enthusiasm with the people I know can appreciate it!


(I'm also still waiting for two other hoya orders, international orders). I'm in pretty deep!

    Congrats!! I can't wait to see it!! I just looked at the site and only 1 plant is available. :-/


    Nothing like a little pressure on popmama, Bill. LOL!

    I've been stalking that website for about 2 years and never been able to purchase. I was surprised when I got this one. I'm anxious to see it.

    Soooo exciting!! I have only been able to catch a curtisii. Mine will be here Monday! I did finally catch Gardinos restock yesterday and got a lacunosa and a pusilla. Also did a purge on Facebook and got a Mathilde. She arrived today from So Cal. I love springtime!! Achoo Achoo. 🤧

    Tika is doing some shoppin'! Woot woot. That Mathilde looks great. That one has been a real struggler for me. But I discovered it seems to like higher humidity. So if you can put it it in a cloche or something, it will be happier.

    Thank you for the advice! I’m addicted. Lol Looking forward to seeing your pics!!!

  • 5 years ago

    Can you recommend where or what kind of a cloche??

  • 5 years ago

    Tika, do you have an Ikea near you? They have a cloche for only $8. And it fits perfectly on a lid from some takeout containers as a base.

    I think someone said they got a similar one from Target online as well.

    My ilagiorum arrived today. Decent size for the price ($40 + shipping).

  • 5 years ago

    It sure is!! I never see that one there when I visit. You struck gold. Happy for you))))

    The ilagiorum looks great!! No IKEA near me but I will look at Target. Thank you!

    Tika, I see it. Search for : Glass Cloche Pillar Candle Holder Clear on Target.com.

    Also, you could just use a clear vase and turn it upside down.


    Meyermike: Yes! I have never been able to purchase anything previously from Logee's. They are always sold out. I'm pleased that what they sent is a good sized plant for the cost.

    Thank you so much!! I found it. Great idea about using a clear vase too. 😊

    I will post some pics of mine in a separate thread.

    True and I have seen some at TJ Maxx / Homegoods. I don't love the ones that are for dolls because they don't have a handle on top. That doesn't bother some people but I like the handle so I can remove / replace with one hand rather than two. You could add a handle with some appropriate glue as well.

    Since it has been a month, I thought I would give an update on this plant.

    I did take a cutting off the very top several weeks ago, put it in damp perlite in a high humidity box and it's doing well. It has rooted and its long tendril has tons of aerial roots.

    I potted up the rest in a chunky mix in a terracotta pot. I've been watching it decline steadily looking very parched. The leaves got progressively more dry, wilted, wrinkly and thin. This made me quite concerned. So I removed it from the pot today and put it in leca with water reservoir and if I can find a cloche big enough for it, I will probably put it in there for a while for increased humidity until it recovers. Hoping that it will.

    Popmama, these plants are unbelievably resilient. I took a shriveled up stick of a vine, all the leaves had dried up and dropped off, put it in Leca in a super humid environment, and now I'm starting to see some signs of life, as in a tiny aerial root popping out.


    I think once you give it lots of humidity, it will reward you with lots of new growth.


    Best of luck with it.

    Thank you, friend. I appreciate the words of encouragement. I started to question whether or not I am watering the other new ones properly. I think I might be under-watering some more than just this one!
