    I’m so glad someone is finally saying what needed to be said long time ago! Before buying plants online, read the ‘fine print’ carefully and if it states anything like”don’t repot for a certain amount of time”, I always contact the seller before I make the purchase to let them know my concern with that and if they’re absolutely unwilling to be flexible, I won’t buy. Someone else will get my money instead. I hope it’ll work out!

    • @BasiePlants
      @BasiePlants  Год назад +16

      Right? I mean okay, I won't repot plants upon arrival. Don't send me rotten plants in wet soil xD But if you do, I am surely not going to look at my $30 plant and wait for it to die when I can clearly do something about it.

      I had a very bad experience with this east European reseller. They sent me hoyas with no more living roots left in completely bone dry sphag. They import their hoyas and orchids from a nursery in Taiwan I know and resell them immediately. They ask you to acclimate the plants slowly in 2/3 days and when you contact them 3 days after the arrival of the parcel to claim, they throw you to hell saying that should have claimed within 12 hours ! They are swindlers.

    I watched this video a couple of times before, watching it for the third time now... Totally agree with everything you are saying! The saddest part of all, for me, is to see how good the Hoya was before it was shipped 😭 I received a shipment not too long ago, they all were soaked wet and triple wrapped in plastic! Triple! I got them in 8 days... I still could tell they were big and exactly what I wanted (before this shipment), out of 4 Hoyas I ordered, I could only recover 2 of them, by making cuttings, the other two were too small to take a cutting and didn't make it... Thanks, Miro, for your videos! love them all! P.S. one of my favorites is "don't underwater these Hoyas" , can you , please, make a video about high light and lower light Hoyas? Takes forever to research this topic.... Once again, thanks for everything!!!!!!

    The same can be said about orchids. Sending orchids, like Hoya, soaked, can cause damage and then they become rescues. The positive side of Hoya is you can at least try to restart the plant….although many times not successfully with such damage as the one you received 😢🌸

    Those hoyas are coming from Taiwan originally and they are sold by the nursery. So they receive only a general maintaining (watering) before they're sold.

    • @BasiePlants
      @BasiePlants  Год назад +3

      Yes, I know they are recent imports :) I always thought they are most likely from the Thailand nursery, Aleya, and then resold in the EU. (though I am not sure where from verticillata (Tanggamus) and waymanie (Kapuas) originally came from, but most likely Thailand/ Indonesia). It makes the price good but it is a shame there isn't a bit more maintentance/ care involved, even if that means a slightly higher price.

  • @andy0995

    I think all the Hoya Verticillata Tanggamus and Lampung are a mixed match and confusing. As far as I know, Tanggamus is a part of Lampung city. And I've encountered 2 different venations. The most popular one is the one that you've shown on the picture preference.

    I have had good success cutting off essentially all of the stem up to the petioles, the petioles can give off roots if in contact with substrate. The substrate I used for the situation with a silver dollar hoya was Treefern fiber. I actually had to carve a little bit upward, there is actually a little concave hole where the stem was supposed to be, but the petioles rooted. I am waiting for a growth to show up but the rooting did ok without a stem

      Thanks Karen! Well, everyone who works makes mistakes. But I think if you had a shop for over 3 years, you really should not send plants wet. It is understandable if something damages in the post, gets lost, etc, but this is a bit different in my opinion. Especially since I know that not only my verticillata arrived like that, but more of them.

  • @paulinema5151

    I just experienced the same thing. Bought again from a big nursery that I had previous issues with. But since it was one of those 'you get what you see' on the listing, I thought it'd be ok. Big mistake as the plant I received is significantly damaged (i.e. broken leaves, missing plant sections, dried out growth tips, yellowing leaves). Hopefully we both get our orders resolved.

  • @paigemcmaster5040
    @paigemcmaster5040 Год назад +3

    I have the same issue with big nurseries and pests. The moment you bring up pests in a nursery you get the age old "all nurseries have pests!". While that may be true, you should not be sending me a plant that has so many pests it's a major outbreak or has serious pest damage. Don't send plants with known pests.

    • @BasiePlants
      @BasiePlants  Год назад +2

      True! Pests happen to anyone but... if it is VERY obvious, come on. XD That is only good if you send pests unintentionally. I mean, I once saw a post here where a buyer complained about a seller - it was about a mealybug-infested croton and I mean ABSOLUTELY infested, cannot be missed, so many white spots - and the seller was like... that is how they arrive to me. That is a new variety. 💀

    I have a pretty good inkling as to what nursery you're talking about and have ordered multiple times from them. Mind you, I'm in Belgium so shipping is rather quick for me so I never had rotting issues (but then again I also don't wait 30 days to repot....) but I have received plants from them that were infected with thrips twice. I was an inexperienced plant enthusiast at the time so I did not notice this for a while the first time. However, the 2nd time I did notice immediately and contacted them. The answer? "I'm sure you are experienced enough to successfully get rid of them". 💀No suggestion for a refund, no apologies, nothing. So I will never order from them again, it's a shame though because they have a great selection.

  • @cherie7100
    @cherie7100 Год назад +1

    Sometimes repotting isn't optional. Specially when the soil they come in is just plain awful! I brought a Ficus Shivereana and within 10 days it was dead. The leaves had clear signs of pest damage. I quarantined and left it...signs of spider mites started to show on the leaves...I got a 20% partial refund...I decided to repot and treat for pests and it just went into decline. The leaves started to dry up even though it had been watered. The roots oddly looked fine...however the leaves fell off. Then the stem grew white fuzz...mould...mealybugs? I wasn't taking the chance and out it went.
    I would rather receive dry soil than wet soil. One plant took a week to dry out. I prefer to receive bare root where possible then no crusty musty soil to deal with.

    • @BasiePlants
      @BasiePlants  Год назад

    Hi Miro!~
    I feel your pain, I just did a trade with someone who I love dearly, but she sent peperomia, really thin leaved peperomia, completely soaking and these thin leaves against the moisture - And these plants were only in the mail overnight. I'm so glad it wasn't longer. I hope you manage to get a refund. Keep that cool, we attract more flies with honey and all that.
    Random question - do you find that hoya work their way out of pon over time? I find any plant I don't trellis will get higher and higher in the pot and if I don't notice it right away we get roots drying out etc.. Do you have this issue, and do you have a solution? Of course bury it deeper but that isn't always an option based on stem length etc. Any suggestions? Thanks~!

      I am sorry to hear about your peperomia! I hope she does well. That reminds me of one time when I ordered Peperomia 'Hope' that was thrown into a box without anything else and it arrived hopeless.
      Hm, I can't say I noticed the hoya going up in the pot. Maybe the pon is getting away through the drainage holes over time? I think it is not a huge issue when they develop big root system that goes all the way down.
