Hoya cuttings arrive fast in envelopes

We are so happy at Aleyagarden in Thailand
with two cuttings acquired from France by mail : these bare cuttings travelled 8
days in an envelope with a light plastic bubbled sheet, as we can see on the
picture.

Hoya cuttings in the mail from France to Thailand

It seems that on average envelopes of cuttings arrive faster than parcels !!


They were ( and are still ) in a perfect shape on arrival but who knows in what condition they would be if there had not been this plastic '' bag'' inside the postal envelope ? About a quarter section of the thinner one ( H. microstemma ) had already started to dry out - this species has a thinner stem than other Hoyas - .


So even though plastic covers induce a higher risk of yellowing leaves, here we still recommend their use by our senders : despite our natural humidity in Thailand during most part of the travel time - I guess after only 48 hours the parcels are already in Bangkok, a stem that has, unluckily, defoliated because of heat can still restart with enough constant humidity and temperature of the air - but a dehydrated cutting is definitely harder to regrow.


Some people have shared their experiences with Hoya microstemma on this thread of gardenweb.com :
