Where to find hoyas in Los Angeles, CA

19 years ago

Hello... again. It has been a while since I last came to gardenweb, and last you saw me I was living i Sweden sporting a decent 50+ hoya collection. Now, however, I have relocated to Los Angeles and was forced to give away all my plants to friends and family. I and have been sooo excited about trying to grow hoyas here, but... The "but" is that I cannot find any hoyas to buy!! Well, I have bought one, which is more than likely a H. carnosa "Tricolor", but that's it!

So, my question, after this lengthy update, is: Do you know where I can buy hoyas in Los Angeles?? Any nurseries that carry hoyas around? Anyone who is willing to part with cuttings?

When to start fall crops in Los Angeles, CA?
Q
Comments (6)
For fall crops I have a difficult time keeping seeds that are sown close to the surface evenly moist until they germinate. I wait for cooler fall weather before I start lettuce because it struggles in the heat and dry Santa Ana'a and struggling lettuce is not worth eating. Broccoli and cauliflower can be started now indoors to transfer out in sept. I am going to try leeks for the first time this year too and they supposedly germinate at temp 50 to 75 degrees so I plan to direct sow them at the same time as the lettuce- mid/late Oct.

Where to get cheap stocktanks in Los Angeles?

I agree that what appeared to be leaks was probably other water from filling the tanks or something else. They generally do not leak. If they truly were leaking it was most likely around the drain plug which can be easily sealed. The tanks also might have been shipping damage ones they were using for display purposes. I priced tanks here a couple of weeks ago. They are not cheap. Galvanized tanks are usually leass expensive than poly tanks but they also in time will leak due to pin holes,leaks around the seams, etc. These can be easily fixed. If you don't want to deal with that then you will need to buy poly tanks and unfortunately pay the price. Rubbermaid tanks will be more expensive than other brands of poly tanks so shop around. Another option is you could place an ad in a classified paper that you want to buy used poly stock tanks in good condition. You might come up with some for a better price.

I buy online, since I can't find any either, and I live in the high desert area (near Victorville), California. When are they going to start offering them for sale? It makes no sense to me.

Hoyas in LA nurseries tend to be scarce and limited to a few varieties. You might want to check out the tropical nursery in Lake View Terrace/Tujunga area. Also the Cactus center in Pasadena, Temple nursery in South El Monte, the San Gabriel nursery.

I could send you a few pieces of mine if you like. Mine is a Hoya Bella "Luis Bois" I believe. It is the only one I have. I also want more maybe we could trade?? I just started some rooting. I'll need some time for them to get some good roots first. Let me know if you are intrested. My e-mail address is drobertson123173@yahoo.com
