Hoya Carnosa - Wax Plant

[Tis-I-Podstick]

Does anyone have any idea where I can buy this plant. My neighbour helped decorate my house for me and as she worked she waxed lyrical (excuse the pun) about how wonderful this plant was. Foolishly I offered to buy her one as a gift for her help but have drawn a blank at all our local garden shops, nurseries, plant shops, florists etc. My curiosity is now peaked and I would really like to buy two plants, one for her and one for me. I am even on a waiting list at a local nursery for when they manage to grow a cutting or two. Is this plant available anywhere??

Hit submit too soon. My aunt has on of these in her conservatory, it's spectacular when in full bloom.

Ooops, thanks for that. I hadn't thought of ebay for plants. Ta very much.

Notoriously hard to grow apparently - so I was told by the only person I ever knew to have one!

I got mine from ebay. The trick is loads of sun and not much water. Its quite slow growing though. I don't expect it to flower this year but it is growing well, has doubled in size since I got it.
