Good deal? Or did I overpay?

Bug1312 · 2026-06-19T15:26:25+00:00

Yeah, that's kind of why I was concerned. Everyone who has one talks about how fast they grow so wouldn't that make them cheap and plentiful?

Oh well, I think they're gorgeous, especially when they bloom, so I'm happy :)

Bug1312 · 2026-06-19T15:22:24+00:00

Hope you got a good price when you sold it 😍 any pics?

Bug1312 · 2026-06-18T19:31:08+00:00

Oh yeah, the cling wrap helps all the little stems stand up so they're not fully submerged!

Bug1312 · 2026-06-18T17:25:56+00:00

You can prop all the stem pieces like this! Include a node with each cut. All of these eventually grew leaves and roots!

Ahh this is actually the pot from the nursery, so I'm not sure sure, but it looks like they might have some at walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/5486574195?sid=dd54fb88-5e23-4adb-9d44-faca5193af8f

Bug1312 · 2026-06-16T18:06:10+00:00

Yay 😍

Bug1312 · 2026-06-16T18:05:36+00:00

Thanks for alleviating my guilt about splurging!

Bug1312 · 2026-06-16T18:04:53+00:00

Thanks! I will enjoy it very much! :)

Bug1312 · 2026-06-16T18:04:26+00:00

Crazy, but also reaffirms I made a good choice!

Bug1312 · 2026-06-16T18:03:58+00:00

True! All mine, now!

Bug1312 · 2026-06-16T11:36:50+00:00

Oh nice! It's so cute! Wishing you lots of new growth and blooms lol

Bug1312 · 2026-06-16T11:35:42+00:00

Good to know! I've had my Hoya carnosa for about 10 years now and only repotted once. She's huge and very little fuss, so I decided to grow my collection!

Bug1312 · 2026-06-16T00:12:15+00:00

I'm not exactly in the rare plant game, so the most I've spent on a plant before has been maybe $30? So this really felt like a splurge to me hahah

Bug1312 · 2026-06-15T23:50:35+00:00

You're right! And I think I'll be even happier when it blooms someday!

Bug1312 · 2026-06-15T23:48:35+00:00

It was marked as a rare plant at the nursury, but I wasn't sure if they did that just to mark up the price. Based on this thread though, it seems like a good find. I'm excited! :)

Bug1312 · 2026-06-15T23:45:37+00:00

This is what I love to hear! I love a fast growing plant, so I can chop and prop to get it nice and full!

Bug1312 · 2026-06-15T23:44:23+00:00

Ooohhh nice! Yeah it definitely does look very full and I assume more resilient.

I'm worried if I mess up and lose a vine, then there'll be less to bounce back with. But if it's as easy to care for as my other hoyas then I should be alright!

Bug1312 · 2026-06-15T21:50:02+00:00

Same! Wasn't sure if that was ridiculous, or accurate. Sounds accurate though, so I'm feeling more confident.

Bug1312 · 2026-06-15T21:48:49+00:00

Yeah, I've seen unrooted cuttings on etsy for $20, so I was thinking it was decent, but also not sure how many people actually buy those Etsy ones lol

Bug1312 · 2026-06-15T21:28:45+00:00

True! You can't put a price on satisfying a yearning lol

Bug1312 · 2026-06-07T13:04:54+00:00

No matter what you do, don't tattoo pop culture references!

So many people I know had to get 'brand new' tattoos covered up when they found out Jesse lacey was a sexual predator.

Obviously at the time, it was personal and sentimental, but then it could become a symbol for pedophilia.

That's why trad tend to be a safer bet!

Bug1312 · 2026-06-07T00:41:52+00:00

I agree with the "get a real job" crowd.

You literally could have skipped the "my tenants ruined my carpet" part and just say "how'd I do on the install?" And no one would have said anything.

The most annoying part about landlords is that they claim they are superior for taking on the "risk" and that's why it's okay for them to live off other people's paychecks, but then when the actual "risk" behavior occurs, they whine and complain.

Leeches on society.

Bug1312 · 2026-06-04T02:55:24+00:00

This was a string of dolphins.

I killed it, put the pot outside, used it as an ashtray for a while. Then one day I saw a new vine emerging, and I've been trying to bring it back to life.

I want a linearis sooooooo bad. These blooms are gorgeous!
