They do, of course, but not per cutting or per plant. If you are interested in the lowest cost per plant, then getting a big box is the way to go.

Except of course the box cannot be TOO big - otherwise plants start weighing each other down and do not do well in shipping. Up to 25 is a good number though. If I were to get 20-25, my itching for new plants may be quelled for a good long while. Or so I hope. :-)

For some reason im not getting the site the thai site to load.....

I just tried it, works fine for me! Maybe try using a different internet browser?

So pretty! I promised myself no more Hoya plant till next year. I might have to break that promise because there's always that one "must have" on my list. Plus, I just had to toss my gunung gading and I must, must get another. Thanks for the info.

I am in the middle of placing an order with them, so I go to their site often when I was choosing and researching, and I also noticed a few times that it was inaccessible. But I let just a little time go by, and it does come up for me in the end.

Gloria, Ric Moreir in Florida has sp. Borneo Gunung Gading. It will be easier to get it from within the US - unless you also want some other delicious Thai exotic Hoya goodness.

greentoe35, can others add to your order?

No, unfortunately. The limit without an import permit is 12 plants, and I am getting 12.

Do you know how much shipping is for just 1 or 2 plants?

I don't, sorry, but it's probably going to be cost-prohibitive - or NOT, if you really REALLY want it.

What are you interested in getting? One of us here may recommend where to find it in the US.

They have a "pachyclada apodogis" plant that i want. I dont know why i need it as a already have 5 pachyclada plants! They told me a large plant is $27 plus 18 for the slower shipping and $17 for the phyto. Im debating on weather to order or not....

Here is the plant...

What a beauty. I too am a pachyclada groupie. I would say go for it as long as it is well packed. Looks like a limb could fall off but then you would have two.

Umm SOMEbody needs a pachyclada intervention! lol

How is this pachyclada different from your other 5?

I prefer getting a bunch of plants at a time. Then those phyto and shipping costs are going to be easier to justify, per plant.

But of course everybody is different - I will likely be getting fewer plants as well after I saturate my growing space with the kinds of things I want to grow.

tlbean, consider organizing a group order maybe? It's more hassle for sure, but the cost may be lower than ordering individually. Somebody else may end up hosting it, whoever is getting the most plants, I guess.

It does seem like more hassle and i dont know if other people want to place an order. I also dont want to be shipping out a bunch of plants to other people and dealing with the hassle of it they die in transit to me. It does make sense to place a large order but i dont want a lot of plants...

well actually i do.... but lol

The $62 is kind of steep thats why i am considering it... i might not go thru with it. idk

I just went to Ebay for the fun of it. I am pasting. You guys won't believe this. Aurorawa, you did good!!!

tlbean2004 - how many plants are you buying? I might be interested in purchasing some and splitting the cost of shipping and the phyto cert with you. I ordered from AH Hoya earlier this summer and the plants made it to my house very quickly and in good condition. Let me know if you're interested!

I was only gonna get the one, but if you want to do a joint order then i will add a couple more.

How many did you order before and what was the shipping cost?

Sent you a PM. :)

That was a cutting I rooted from one of my two undulatas:

Here is the one I can easily access (other one is jammed behind a few plants):

It has new growth (I think this is the one I took a cutting from) forming, which is great!:

Wow, undulata is really a beauty.

New growth is a good sign, apparently, the plant has adapted well to the climatic conditions at your home.

Undulata looks nice...I decided not to go SH on this one because of all the coco husks on the roots so I planted it in a nice chunky mix with lots of clay balls..it has put out 2 giant leaves so far!

Wow I love how this species looks. The undulated edges are great, and there's also some significant sheen to those leaves. And ofcourse the silver splotches. Can't wait to grow it.

tlbean2004, you're getting that pachyclada apodagis, aren't you? :-)

AH Hoya posts pictures of plants they are about to mail out, on facebook, and a pachyclada apodagis just popped up a few hours ago: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1081954928528901/permalink/1151890401535353/.

Is "pachycladaholic" a word? It is now. :-) Enjoy it! (If it's you who bought it.)

Yes, that is mine and i cant wait to receive it. I should have waited to get it because now i am about to place an order with someone else on the forum.

And the shipping is the slow shipping so i hope it does not turn out disastrous! Pachyclada can go a while being dry so it should not be dead once i receive it. lol

With the joint order i believe we will go with EMS so i will probably get them before i get the apodagis!

Wait, you are saying you are about to place another order WITH THE SAME VENDOR? Can you ask them to combine your shipping? The second phyto fee is also unnecessary to pay if you combine.

Tell us what you get, and how it arrives. I love "looking over people's shoulders" into their Hoya boxes. :-)

You are right! Let me email him.

Maxne is probably getting tired of the back and forth emails and me changing my mind! lol

I've had some language barrier problems with him / her initially. (Is it a guy or a girl?) Lately, everything has been good though, once I started putting some effort into making my language clearer.

Once my order comes in, I will likely post a whole separate "experience" thread.

Good luck to you combining the orders.

I dont know if its a guy or girl! lol

And Thanks!

He is a man :) His name is Pattamate Watthanasakulcharoen.

It's not him, Aurora. We are friends on facebook, I know him from Hoya groups there - I just asked, he says it's not his business.

Here's some more info from him (I edited this down to his answers, omitting my obvious questions):

Pattamate Watthanasakulcharoen

AH Hoya is not mine.... ><

Her nursery is in southern Thailand. I live in Bangkok.

I used to send some to oversea but it was few years ago.

I think i started to grow since 2009.

So, now we know AH Hoya is a woman, I guess. :-)

ok now in confused.......

Pattamate added that she does business with her husband. So, I guess it's "them" in the end. :-)

No...AHHoya is a man. I have to find the last box he shipped me. It says on his return address Mr.

Ugh, Pattamate is also someone I know. I think I got them confused because AH's name also starts with P. Gimme a few, lol.

Overworked, here. Anyone else?

I'm seconding that AH Hoya is a man - I remember that the return address said Mr. as well. Can't remember his name, though, and I threw the box away a long time ago...

Lol...husband/wife team! They both grow 'em, she writes about them, they both photograph, he ships, they both grow. Still gotta find that box!

I found the name. Mr. Peerakij Puttipiboon. This is the person I sent the money to, from the invoice. No need to look for boxes, I guess. :-)

Pattamate did refer to a wife/husband team. AH is the nickname of the wife, he said.

Yay! I wasn't totally off my rocker! These days, I am not always so sure of my mental capacity, lol!

aurorawa, How many days did it take this order to arrive to your home?

greentoe357, When can you expect your order to arrive?

They are shipping it tomorrow / Saturday (today in their time). I got express shipping (EMS or whatever they use), so... in 3 to 7 days I hope very much that the box will be here.

By the way, the way they send these packages, is the signature required? Or the delivery guy can leave the box by the door? (Aurora, this question is for you and whoever else ordered with express shipping from them.)

Aha, thank you.

Also - if you put the EMS tracking number into the USPS tracking page you can keep an eye on the package's progress once it gets to the US. :)

I knew that, but thanks for the reminder. :-)

Took 10 days, if I recall correctly, for that order (Customs is Customs...ugh) but ALL arrived in great shape! The other few I have made took 3-4 days.

I don't let my EMS orders go out to my house. As soon as they hit my local PO, I call and have them hold it. I sign for it, though.

Ugh, i hate when signatures are required! If im not home (and im usually not because i work) that means they keep the package until i can make it to the PO. So i have to either be late for work or leave early in order to go get the package.

My packages from poland were left at my door.

aurorawa What size was that Undulata you received? Is that considered a small size?

It was medium before I cut it. My large one was three complete leafed nodes and a nice trailing vine. The vine died back, which I expected. The medium, before it was cut (which is the one pictured in the above order), looked like this:

How much did the medium cost?

I think the small one is listed at $43 on their availability sheet.

I honestly cannot recall. I will pull up my invoice when I have more time. Headed to sleep before I go to work in 7 hours.
