My new Babies from Thailand just arrived!!!!
Comments (5)Rosa, Give them time.. They will develop new roots and then you will see new leaves.. Then once they are ready, they will bloom. Probably next year tho. I have trees that have never bloomed.. Still waiting.. Sigh!!! Like Marie said... Acclimate them like all other trees. They need to adjust. I can't wait to see your new " loot". ;-) Have fun and please post pics... Take care, Laura...See MoreMy new hoyas from Thailand are finally here
Comments (17)Some of the larger flowered species like the Hoya imperalis and onychoides that you got can take several years before they try to bloom for the first time. It is pretty common to wait at least two years before seeing blooms on many Hoya species when you grow them from a cutting. Sometimes you will get a cutting and if it came from a nice big mature plant it may surprise you with blooms quite early or in some cases there will already be a bloom peduncle on the cutting. If you look for the Hoyas that you like most for their flowers and leaves and make a list we can tell you if they would be good choices for the conditions you can provide. Some species like it shady while others like very bright light but other than growing them slightly cooler or watering a little more or less most Hoyas have very similar culture. Some species bloom quite often while others do not and that is where it is fun to choose new plants based on their leaves, some species have pretty spectacular leaves. GrowingHoyas.com , Hoyor.net and MyHoyas.com are nice sites to research different species. The Swedish Hoya Society page has some of the best Hoya photography with photos of full sized blooming plants.

Comments (10)I would hold off on ordering on the East Coast and Midwest (Chicago) as I have heard Customs is very, very slow. But LAX seems to get the plants through quite quickly. I often order more than 13 plants at a time, and they actually seem to do a bit better (group humidity and extra packaging material, I guess). And he does do bigger orders. EMS is for under 1000g. Air cargo is up to 5000g, $200 or free if you order is $1200 or more (not easy to accomplish, but I have done it). I have had many orders where I ordered like 20 plants and was still under 1000g. Your best bet would be to do a group order, get that weight to above 1000g, and get the price to above $1200. The way I do group orders is to have the others in the group make their list (with a few reserve plants, in case Jack does not have the plants on their master list available). Once Jack approves the list, I send them a copy of the order, with their share of what is owed quoted at the bottom. They then pay me via paypal, which as soon as the payment hits from everyone, I take the payments (mine included) and pay Jack. Then, once I receive the tracking info, I share it with all in the group order. Then, when I receive the plants, I soak them, photograph them, trim all dead leaves/tips, and re-wrap them as soon as they dry. I then email each person in the group photos of their plants, and update them on any that died (Jack will send you a free replacement on your next order, with photo evidence). I then have them pay between $5.65-17.99 via paypal shipping to get their plants to them UNLESS the order was under $1200, in which they would be chipping in to cover the $200 shipping. Then, I just throw shipping in free or reduced....See MoreMy Hoya Australis Lisa arrived in 7 days from Poland! So beautiful!
Comments (29)Well you need a permt from the USDA in order to legally import plants into the country. You have to file for the permit listing the countries from which you are going to be importing plants. You have to set up an account with the USDA and get approved at a local office. Once your account is set up you have to print out stickers to send to the vendor to use (or email them the sticker file to print out). Then all the vendors we have ever worked with charge about $75 to prepare all the phytosanitation certificates. You can't just click buy on ebay and think you're ok....See Moretlbean2004
