# Recently picked up this Hoya Curtisii from Lowe’s and this Bear’s Paw…

_Posted by Adrian on 2025-07-17_

Recently picked up this Hoya Curtisii from Lowe’s and this Bear’s Paw Cactus at Ott’s Exotic Plants. The Curtisii needed a little TLC. It was in too big of a pot with a lot of excess soil, but after downsizing the pot, added some better-draining soil, and removing any yellowed leaves, I’m really happy with the $16 find ☺️ ended up combining my little Curtisii with this big one 🤫

Feel free to turn this into a thread and share any new plants you’ve recently added to your collection 😊

Love the flowers! 🌸 I’d love to see some blooms on mine someday, but I was really happy to find one with the little red paw tips 😊
