My husband and I were out and about a little while ago and stopped in at a local nursery to look around. They had a few Hoya carnosa's in 6 inch hanging baskets, with the asking price of $24.99 which (in my opinion) is way too much for the common Hoya carnosa. I've seen the same size at Home Depot and Walmart for much less! Then I found 2, 6 inch hanging baskets of H. nummalarioides that were in full, fragrant bloom but no price tags on either of them. I spotted a young man who worked there and he looked all over the baskets for a price tag and when he couldn't find anything, he said he'd go check for us. We continued to walk around and hubby went one way while I went over to another area of plants; the employee came to track us down and found my husband and told him the price was $70.00!!! I thought my hubby was kidding but nope, they wanted $70. LOL, I said "Thanks but No Thanks!" If they had been $24.99 I would have bought one but not at the outrageous price of $70.00!!!!
I hope you will continue to share your photos and information on how you grow Hoyas in Australia!
What are the nursery/plant stores like in Queensland? It looks like you've been able to find some good plants!
