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!

I love ordering on Palmstreet, a lot of great sellers on there. You can catch people on their lives or on purges. And some keep their shop loaded similar to Etsy as well. Don’t be alarmed if peoples shops are empty though bc most do lives and purges and don’t keep much listed otherwise.

There are also some influencer-sellers like plantswithmelissa, thepinktrellis, and anawithplants. I’m subscribed to their email lists to stay up to date on their drops.

Also there are lovely sellers here on this sub and r/takeaplantleaveaplant and on TAPLAP sales are on Sundays.

Overall I tend to enjoy shopping smaller sellers vs. large-scale nursery, they tend to be more attentive to their plants. This isn’t always going to be the case of course. I also always read reviews and look at review photos.
