Two big announcements!!!

First a mothersday sale!!!

This is on mystery boxes.
$150 each plus shipping.

You can send a list of your currently owned Hoyas or make a wish list. Instructions for making a wish list are pined to this page.

Box will have 7-10 Hoyas and will be based on your conditions and growing preferences.

Also this will be Fox Fire Floras last sale!

Unfortunately, I am shutting down. I will not be selling any mother plants individually, all plants and buisness stuffs will be relocating to a very skilled plant buisness in SLC, UT. I will leave this page up for the educational videos but i expect all sales to end completely by the end of summer.

So if you’ve waited on getting a box, this really will be your last chance. Ill be taking orders from now until the last day if this month (wensday april 30, 2025). I will work on getting them all shipped that following Monday and Tuesday. The sooner you place your order and give me either a properly done wish list or a list of your current Hoyas, the quicker I can get them propped so plants being sent out will ideally be rooted.

All rules are the same as posted to the top of this page.

Comment here then send your list here or to Leicha VanZile.

Ok my middle sons birthday was this last weekend, he picked something that ment he’ll be posting some boxes for sale. Don’t worry I’ll make him do his DB poses while holding Hoyas. Gotta make this funny at least!!!

So look for some Hoyas to be posted here on this post tonight (19th) and tomorrow evening (20th) maybe into the weekend depending on how hard he makes this! Here are a few pictures I’ve taken semi recently. I know I suck at that! Also a pic of the man child in question!

Like this post to get updates for the sale!

!!!OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

I have talked to a few people and hinted at this before but I am making it official now. Fix Fire Flora will be downsizing drastically.

As of right now I will only be offering 3-4 box sales a year with the possibility of Hoya purges 3-4 times a year (usually around the same time). Any ready to go albums will be deleted. Individual sales will not be conducted and boxes will not be available outside planned sales.

***The only exception is existing customers who can contact me if they are wanting to purchase something, if I am able I will get back to you.

!!Response time for this page will be limited to during sales and directly after. Anything inbetween will be based on my ability to respond. You are welcome to ask questions but you might not get an answer.

I am sad to anounce this, unfortunetly my health and economic conditions are not giving me much choice.

I will leave the instructional videos up.

**If I am able to run classes I will anounce them here. Sales will be announced here as well a month or two in advance and will take place here.

Thank you for all the support! Hopefully this page can be transitioned into more of an educational platform. If nothing else the information is all still here and I will always try to help when I can.

Hey people, would you be so kind as to help a seller out??? Comment on this post if you have gotten thin leaf Hoyas from me, or heck anyone, that have bloomed for you, especialy if they did not come with a peduncle….. and not to be a turd but if you live in one of the golden states (Florida, Texas, callifornia) you might not count but everyone let us know your conditions and where you live too!! (Roughly, like no exact nuthin! Let’s be safe here people sheesh!)

Alright I am back (again) from my temporary death cold….yeahhhh this is not gunna be my year lmao!!!

But that’s ok cuz I actualy got some components of one of the more ‘unique’ classes I’m going to offer!!! If you like flesh eating flapjack plants and fountains, you’re gunna love this one!!

In the mean time, quick vote;
Which class would you guys like first???

1. Fertilizers, suppliments and pesticide.
This class has 6 small containers of all the ‘chemicals’ you need to grow happy healthy Hoyas. There is already a video (or a few posted here) describing the exact products, how and why they are used, and I’ll go into the logic behind each so if you decide to make substitutions you’ll be better equipped to.
This class box includes one 1-2 month dose of pesticide, 3 gallons worth of fertilizer mix, and 3 month+ each of suppliments and ‘preventatives’. If you’ve ever wanted to try a regimen before dropping hundreds of $$$ this is your chance!!! And it won’t come along often. There are no gimmicks or sponsorships here…. Trust me it’s painful sharing but there is no better proof then you trying it yourself!! This kit will include some different watering tools so you can try them out as well.

Class kit $100

2. Propping and potting.
This class will have 8+ net pot cup combos in 6 different size combinations so you can decide what you like best. It will include all the leca and treefern you’ll need. It also comes with 4+ clear cups and shagnum moss to prop dischidias, 2+ alternate pot types and some proping tools. There is an additional cutting box you can order to use with propping or use plants you already have! We will go into the specific substrate, talk about other common substrates and thier pros and cons (and I will address differing growing conditions and specific plant groups and how they seem to grow best in my experience). We will also talk about pot types, why this is the design I use, how you can make it more fancy and where to find your supplies once you decide on which you like best!

Class kit $80

Additional cutting box of 10 hoya, 3 Dischidia;
Common $30
Uncommon $60
Higher end custom picked $100

If you want a custom size clipping box to add on let me know.

3. Trelleces and tags.
This class will include all the supplies to learn to make your own moss polls (3 plastic back and 1 round), fully prepared, all you’ll have to do is zip tie (included) and fill (moss included, if you’d like to try leca or bark let me know and I can substitute and add any additional parts you might need). It will include a variety of acrylic polls and plastic polls so you can try each out and decide if they work for you. I will include some metal bendable polls (plant safe) so you can try some trellace designs yourself. I will also include one or two plastic bulk style trelleces (or bamboo or metal depending on available supplies). I will go into how I attach trellaces and different ways to ensure water constantly reaches the top of polls you don’t want drying out, also ways to keep moss from becoming hydrophobic. I will share all the supplies I use and methods of creating your own even in bulk. The kit will also include 20+ tags. I had to try them all just to see what works best so save yourself the time and get 4-5 different types in one buy. I will include 20+ clips of all different types and sizes. If your like me finding one that will fit in any situation can be a challenge! And I will include any other alternative…clipping… products I have run across so you can try them out without having to commit!

Class kit $80

Pictures are examples, kits will very.

Classes will include a fb group specificly for participants in that specific class where you can ask questions and interact with other class members, class itself will be a live video posted to the group. It will be recorded so you can reference/download it as you need. You pay for class kits, classes themselves are included.

Vote for which class you think you’d prefer first. It does not obligate you to take classes.
Once I decide on the first class I will post that class for this coming month, you can sign up or ask about gift cards. The more people who sign up the more things I will be able to add to kits.

I haven’t forgotten!!! I said I’d put together some classes and so far Ive got 3 planed out!! They are all basic beginer classes but if there is enough interest I’ll branch out to more complex ones as time goes on.

I use to teach and I think I will stick with that format. The classes will be posted here and they are free, you pay for the supply box!! I will start a group for each class and you’ll be able to ask questions or post on each others progress there.

These boxes will be deals you won’t come close to finding anywhere else!!! Especialy since it will give you a chance to try out a bunch of things before spending a ton of money on just a fraction of the supplies you might end up not liking!

More details and pictures will come!

❄️Ok guys are you scared of winter shipping?☃️
💨Saw some post by people telling you, heat pads won’t work?🔥
❗️Let’s address some of that!!!

🔥Heat packs! They are not all created the same! There are heat packs with a more consistent output of heat without as high of a temp peak, designed specifically for shipping live animals🦎 (and plants🪴)! Even with better heat packs, one trick I do is open the heat packs before packing, let them warm up and make sure they work!!!
That’s a big one!!! Some heat packs go bad☠️! You can’t know that if you don’t check!

Time!!! ⏰ How long is the heat pack ment to work? I offer 72 and 96 hour ones…sounds long but that’s really only 3 days and 4 days♨️!!! (Any longer are far too expencive!!) So how long does it take for a package to ship to you📪??? Are they packing the night before?? Why? Because that absolutly wastes at least 12 ⏱️hours of your 72/96 packs!!

❓When do you need your package to be warm, on thier leg of shipping or yours?

🌬️Insulation!!! So heat packs don’t do much if the heat is allowed to diccipate through cardbored, 🎁 but you hear all kinds of bad stories about heat packs being added inside insulation🪤🧨. Why? Because most of the time heat packs are not secured properly⛓️‍💥, packages are not insulated properly. If people are reusing things like insulation it often doesn’t fit inside the box they are using and if they are reusing boxes that can make it hard too! 🥀Plants get too close to the heat packs, burn leaves🍂, and yes heat packs (and most forms of added heat anywhere) dry out the air💨! So how do I deal with those?

First, all my shipping supplies are bough brand new🛍️. I cut all insulation to fit specific boxes, tape all the internal edges and if it’s very cold pull it out after packing and tape outer edges⛓️. I don’t individualy wrap plants with insulation, it can brake leaves and make the plant too hot or cold if it’s going through different regions! Once my box is lined and taped I add a heat pack I have already opened 🔥stuck to the bottom. Mine come with a very good adhesive back. Then I add at least 3 layers of crumbled tissue paper and then (most importantly) I add a piece of insulation the same size or a tinny bit smaller above the heat pack followed by more tissue paper, then cotton, Hoyas🌿, more cotton (so so much cotton), then tissue paper, then seal the insulation.

✂️Why the extra tissue paper and piece of insulation? Tissue paper keeps space beteeen the piece of insulation and the heat pack, the insulation piece forces the heat from the heat pack to come out the sides keeping it from directly touching any hoya leaves🌴!!

Now what about Hoyas drying out🏖️?? I secure all winter shipped Hoyas substrate with cotton rounds, tape and then Saran Wrap on the sides so any moisture left in the cup or substrait is able to dissipate allot slower. I don’t wrap anything compleatly in plastic!!! (Plastic + heat = rot🥀) and since I make sure to use boxes large enough for the Hoyas and packing material as well as insulate and seal, the humidity caused by the heat stays in the box. 🏝️

Is winter shipping always perfect? No!‼️But if I was being honest I prefer it over summer shipping💥!!! There are allot of other ways to ensure your package is as safe as possible including seeing if your post office will hold the package for pick up! So if winter shipping has kept you from ordering it might be worth trying again!!!

Ok, not casting shade on anyone’s personal preferences or anything!!! I’m just curious, if you buy Hoyas for flowers, how do you even find them?!??
