That's a big fat no from me. I'm sure there is a collector out there that must have the plant and has the disposable income to acquire it. But that's not going to be me!

I see that Secret garden has it for $3000

I know that’s crazy!!! People have lost there mind!

I saw that Secret Gardens one. Those silver leaved Hoyas have been going for crazy prices.

Bill, I agree! One could buy a used car for that much. People are crazy with the bidding these days.

I like Bill's idea best!

You know what they do right?

Anyone that has money to spend or the smarts to make a killing or run a business of plants will snatch them up and then sell of cuttings making back their money ten times over. Don't let anyone fool you..lol

In fact, I once made over 1000 dollars on a rare jade I once had selling cuttings for which I paid just 50 dollars for years ago.

Some will literally make a living on plants like these. Crazy

Why they are considered 'rare', is beyond me. Every Hoya I look at for sale online except for a few of the usual.

You should see the going prices on some monsteria plants these days or philodendrons. One was over 10,000 dollars for a 4 inch pot with 4 leaves. What are people thinking?

I like Bills idea too..Ha

UPT has these NGG for $200. So pretty!!

A lot of the crazy expensive Hoyas have seemed to really drop in price lately. That's a good thing!

I hope you're right. With prices being so outrageously high, people probably weren't buying, which forced to sellers to drop prices or remain with inventory which they have to continually care for. If it continues, which I don't suspect it will, they may come down even more.

As soon as the cold starts to break in another month or so, I think I may try purchasing from international sellers. Gonna take the plunge.

Yes, I noticed the price of these has come down a lot. I still think $200 is too much for me. But the good news is that it will enable more people to purchase and grow it and sell or trade cuttings later and I'll try to ride that second wave!

Bill, if you take the import plunge, I look forward to watching! It's a wild ride but sure is a fun one!
