It came! My baby was very carefully packaged and made it home safely. I'm so excited to have this plant! It's all thanks to @pmulder and her Christmas generosity!๐ŸŽ„ I already named this plant Elizabeth Blair. Penny, should I water her today or wait? If I should wait, how long? I don't want to mess this up. ๐Ÿ˜‚ #hoyacarnosacompacta #hindurope #hoya #plant-mail #christmaspresent #houseplant #houseplants

@savannahssucculentgarden Iโ€™m so glad it made it ok! Never shipped a plant before.. Didnโ€™t have any yellow leaves when I sent it mustโ€™ve not liked a dark box but it will be fine. Wait a couple days unless itโ€™s super dry. Iโ€™d get it in some sun right away. Likes humidity. Youโ€™re so welcome!

@pmulder What type of soil did you have her in? A bit got dumped out in transit, so her roots are exposed. I think I need to top it off.

@savannahssucculentgarden I use perlite and cactus & succulent soil. I mix my Hoyas and succulents pry close to 40% perlite and 60% soil. Idk exact I just dump. I treat them pretty much like succulents except they like a little more water I have found and humidity. I was just hopping back on here to also tell you I forgot the dang heat pack! Pry got a little chilly. Rookie Plant shipper move! Keep me posted. Canโ€™t wait to watch it grow.
