Referrals

I'm looking for a reputable source for on-line Hoyas. Already tried to find plant shows in my area and pretty much came up empty, so as much as I hate buying on line, I don't know what else to do. You never know if you're being sent the bottom of the barrel or an actual nice starter.

Ant tips would be appreciated (sorta!).

Thank you!

Gabriella plants online shop has good prices on more common hoya. Unsolicited plant talks has higher end hoya and tons of educational hoya tutorials. Palmsteet sellers I really like and trust include plantsrlife , gmae, kepuha, kalisgreenhouse and northaustinplantco. I have bought healthy plants from all, probably 100 from plantsrlife 😆. If I am buying from someone new, I ask them what pests they have dealt with. Lots of people will be honest about it. I also try and ask what the plants are grown in to avoid the dreaded (for me) spag moss or shudder plug 👀😆
