Plans to visit SRQ Hoyas!
Comments (6)Hi teisa, You are probably thinking of my post semi- recently when I mentioned the Hoyas that are sold at the USF (Univesity of South Florida) Botanical gardens. They usually have a ton of nice hoyas there and the prices are good, even including the $5 cost of entry. I definitely recommend it if you are going to be in the Tampa area. Website link below, for directions. Selby Boranical gardens is great also, although I can't tell you what they have in the gift shop. It's in Sarasota. The first part of the garden, when you step out of the building, is amazing... Tons of hanging plants and vines all around you. Very cool! Here is a link that might be useful: USF Botanical Garden...See Moresrq...
Comments (10)Hi Tish...SRQ Hoyas is great...prices are reasonable, shipping is fast and reasonable, heat packs are available and Joni is very kind. I've been pleased with everything from Joni...other than two "rooted" cuttings that died almost immediately. She was kind enough to root several plants for me...only the two died. Most of her hoyas are nice sized plants...on her "ready to buy" page, she mentions the size of the plants that you're buying...so you know if it's small, medium or big...that's a nice thing to know. She's great at putting your name on a "waiting" list for a plant you really want and she'll start cuttings for you and ship when they're fully rooted...look at her "My collection" to see plants that she's willing to start cuttings of. Most of the plants I've received from her have been very large...no one does it better, other than Carol Noel. Gardino's would be my 2nd choice so far as hoyas are concerned...other plants from Gardino's are fabulous!! I purchased a Cestrum Nocturnum from Gardino's...the size of a shrub...and full of buds. Their hoyas tend to be smaller than Joni's for the most part...but huge compared to Asiatica. Joni has many plants in her collection....some of the "hard to find" ones....she's willing to grow cuttings for you if you ask her...and she'll put you on her "wish list"...which you can check 24 hrs. a day...and she updates the wish list when the plants are nearing the point of being ready to sell. The prices are high, but typical, for very large plants, very reasonable for small and medium size, shipping cost is exactly what she has to pay...she always refunds any over payment that you make...she also often includes a free plant with your order. Next to Carol, Joni is the very best...in my humble opinion. Fondly, Patrick...See MoreHoyas in Hawaii...
Comments (15)Dee...I know what you're saying...it just doesn't end!! I received two shipments today...one from Cowboyflowerman and the other from SRQ Hoyas...both orders are very nice...I'm well pleased. I also sent another order to SRQ Hoyas last night...I can't seem to stop myself! I, too, am on a "wish list" with SRQ. The plants from SRQ are super...and I was thrilled with them...to top it off, Joni refunded $17 ... certainly not necessary since I was so pleased with the plants....See Morecutting bundle sale @ SRQ hoyas
Comments (15)Funny you should ask, as I was just looking at hydroton and how some people are getting incredible results, both rooting and growing, with it or similar media like growstones. See this for example: http://vermonthoyascom.fatcow.com/learning-how-productions/hoya-praetorii-cutting-experiment/. Blows my mind. But that is not what I did. :-) (Saw this after planting the cuttings and have reservations about frequent watering that semi-hydro method requires.) I like the idea of rooting right into the medium the plant will live in, in order to minimize root disturbances and repotting adjustments. I use a mix of pine bark fines, granite grit and calcined DE ("gritty mix" from the container gardening forum), so that is what they are growing into right now. The mix is so chunky it's actually pretty close to semihydro method anyway. In other news, I am getting 18(!) more cuttings from Joni and 4 more from Denise.
