Have you tried commercial nurseries yet?

Serpen is very hard to find at commercial nurseries. I rarely see it on Etsy or Ebay either. I know there are some Facebook groups that people use for hoya interest. I don't use Facebook so I can't access those. So I just wait until the opportunity comes along in some other way.

Serpens is so tiny. I received a cutting about 2 months ago and it's still alive but not doing much. It will probably be years before I could give cuttings. I think most people are probably in that same situation.

If I ever saw another one for sale, I would probably buy it provided it wasn't outrageously priced.

Hi M, I'd be interested in a cutting of H. serpens, unrooted would be fine, I could send you a unrooted cutting of E. 'Cleo' or something else in exchange. You don't have an email contact on your members page but I have one on mine, hoping to hear from you. Annette

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. Hi everybody, my name is GreenToe and I am a hoyaholic.

I have purchased from Violet Barn as well and have received healthy plants. I was curious about how they cut some of their leaves. When I emailed them about it, this was their response: "We purposely cut leaves, when they are first propagated--makes them more readily rooted as well as for shipping purposes. Since these are always older/original leaves, it won't have any impact on the growth or look of plant when mature." Does anyone else do this when rooting? I learn something new everyday. I have to say, Violet Barn does do a great job wrapping their plants for shipping. I also like how they are labeled and dated.

Thanks everyone! I'm definitely still looking. I guess it's one of those "hard to find" hoyas and when you do see one for sale online, it's selling for a ridiculous amount of money!

I cannot see them. Perhaps the listing is only available for the US.

Now there's a third one on Ebay, buy it now for $65.00. I'm sorry you can't see them. I guess it must be just the U.S. Make sure you search for serpens, not serpen. Maybe that will make a difference?
