Ah hoya update

7 years ago

I'm really happy with the plants I recieved(thanks aurorawa!)..all are growing except Khao soi dao,which I had to take cuttings because or a compromised root system.Cuttings are taking root so that's a good thing. My 10 other plants are all showing new growth. It has been a little over a month since I planted them up.Has any other people on here have good results with this vender?I know Doug is very happy with his order.Share your experiences and pics! Here are a few of mine !

I split an order with aurorawa and paid my portion directly to her via paypal. She sent me the plants when they arrived. 6 days total! They did have roots and there was quite a bit of coco husks left on the roots,so i just repotted everything into my own mix.I didn't want to damage the roots any more then they were from the trip.

Wow Jimmy! They are all beautiful and unique. Makes me want more! (but I'm sticking with what I have) but if you place another order please let me know. There are some Carnosa and Pubicalyx varieties I don't have.

Absolutely STUNNING pix!!!! Kelly, I've not gotten this one to bloom yet. Way To Go! Love your grow area, the lights (and your nice tidy house!). Denise, now I'm doublely intimidated... you have a beautiful home and such wonderful plants! Your second picture, do you have those Pella blinds that drop between the glass? I see glass, but I see blinds of some type on the other side of the glass... ? And how CLEVER is that, to attach a trellis to the interior window frame!!!!? Denise, your home has architectural detail that I would sell most of my plants for! That door looks like maple, and the woodwork around your spectacular windows is wonderful. Thank You from a fan for Never Painting Them! Both of your homes are wonderful. Your plants make me jealous. I am SO going to bug DH for a hanging set up in my bathroom. Older, California homes with awnings do NOT provide light.... Thank You So Much for posting those snap shots of your lives and homes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ailing hoya update: repotted in new soil
Q
Comments (1)
Karam, the plant will probably make it fine. They're tough plants. It may stall for a period but then it'll perk up and probably do great. Ripping a few roots won't hurt it any. I had a plant (hoya brevialata) I needed to repot that had compacted soil. After abusing the plant terribly trying to get the soil out (was pretty much unsuccessful), I just took a knife and carved off a bit around the sides and the bottom. Then I put some fresh soil in the bottom of the pot, set the plant inside, then added soil to the sides. I put it in a slightly lower light location for a couple of weeks to give it time to recuperate, then moved it back to it's original position. It stalled for a short while then perked up and started happily growing again.

Mine usually starts budding up in Sept. No signs of any buds yet for me, but I think it got pretty stressed with the heat we had this summer. It's one that's so potbound, it's hard to keep watered enough. I guess we'll see if it rebounds as it cools off... Denise in Omaha

Thx EMT, is this how you brought yours back, by cutting & soaking? HI GL, I'd potted up the plant, more than a month ago, but it appears not to be taking up liquid. So, I unpotted it, saw roots at the bottom of the stem & cut some of them off, cutting back the a bit of the bottom stem end to green growth, in btwn some of the roots (still left some). Am trying to get it to drink & plump up. Today, while it doesn't look better, it does feel firmer when I hold the cutting in my hand.

Thanks...I think I'm done with buying more hoyas this year...lol. I have always ordered in May or June. Im not sure it they can take the NY summer heat if there is a hold up in customs. I did order once from Jack in September years ago and they got here in pretty good shape!

I am in the middle of placing an order with them. We've had some miscommunication problems because of language barrier, but my list of what I want is finally in with them, and I am waiting for a confirmation that everything is in stock, and maybe for pictures, and for the amount to pay.

I saw they removed Paypal as a payment option, then they added it back in when I checked today - I do not know what's going on with that. Jimmy, did you pay by Paypal, or by Transferwise? I've never used Transferwise before.

And did your plants come rooted or as unrooted cuttings?

> 6 days total!

You mean transportation from Thailand to Aurora, and THEN from her to you, ALL TOGETHER, took 6 days? Wow, that is exceptionally fast. 4+2 days, I am assuming. That was EMS express shipping, Aurora? And did you pay to AH Hoya by Paypal, or by Transferwise?

My order is an individual one, because I easily found 12 plants I want, but I guess once I reshuffle my collection a bit and grow most of what I want to grow, I won't need to get 12 plants the next time around, so a group order may be in my future, to make that shipping more economical per plant. And I will probably make a good hub for that future order because I am only 13 miles from the JFK airport where I assume all these shipments come in, if directed to the East Coast of the US.

I can't wait to get my babies. This is going to be a first for me from Thailand, or from anywhere overseas for that matter.
