ALL THREE COLLECTION (A)  ANTHURIUMS  FOR $ 33 !!

🌺 Parry’s Playful Guide: 10 Tips to Keep Your Anthurium Happy!

Hi, it’s Parry here — your leafy little friend with

huge plant wisdom and a big bubble for banter.

Let me show you how to keep your

Anthurium blooming like royalty!

---

1. Let There Be Light — But Not Too Much!

💡 Bright filtered light is perfect. Direct sun? Yikes! Your Anthurium prefers a gentle spotlight, not a tanning salon.
Parry says: “You like a soft morning glow. So does your Anthurium.”

---

.. Shower Me With Humidity

💧 These darlings love humidity. Mist regularly or place on a pebble tray — they’ll thank you with glossy leaves and more flowers.
Parry whispers: “If your bathroom has good light… boom! Anthurium paradise!”

---

3. Keep It Warm, Darling
🌡️ Anthuriums hate shivering. Aim for 18–28°C. No sudden chills or draughts please.
Parry points to a sweater: “If you’re cold, so is she.”

---

4. Water Gently, Not Generously
💦 Let the top inch dry before watering again. Overwatering is the fast lane to gloom.
Parry frowns: “Soggy roots? That’s a no from me.”

---

5. Use a Chunky Mix
🌱 Think bark, perlite, coir — like a jungle floor, not a swamp.
Parry’s pro tip: “Your plant wants air, not sludge!”

---

6. Feed Lightly, Flower Freely
🍽️ Monthly liquid fertiliser in spring/summer does wonders. No feeding frenzies, please.
Parry beams: “A little snack, not a buffet!”

---

7. Pot It Snug
🏺 Anthuriums like tight roots — it’s how they know they’re loved. Repot only when root-bound.
Parry winks: “Cosy roots, happy shoots!”

---

8. Clean Those Leaves!
🧽 Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Dust dulls their sparkle and your plant’s pride.
Parry sighs: “Polish your princess!”

---

9. Deadhead the Drama
✂️ Snip off old blooms and sad leaves. It keeps energy flowing to fresh growth.
Parry cheers: “Snip snip snip — bloom boom boom!”

---

10. Winter is Nap Time
❄️ Growth slows in winter. Water less. No food. Just let her dream of spring.
Parry dozes: “Zzz… she’ll thank you in September.”

---

Bonus Parry Bubble:
🎁 “Anthuriums make you feel rich, even if you’re just watering in your pyjamas. That’s plant magic.”

10 Key Hoya Care Tips

1. Bright, Indirect Light
Hoyas thrive in bright filtered light. Too much direct sun can scorch their leaves, but too little light reduces flowering.

2. Let Soil Dry Between Watering
Allow the top third of the potting mix to dry before rewatering. Overwatering is a common killer of Hoyas.

3. Use Well-Draining Potting Mix
A chunky, airy mix works best—think orchid bark, perlite, and peat or coir. Avoid heavy or moisture-retaining soils.

4. Keep Humidity Moderate to High
Hoyas appreciate humidity, especially during flowering. Aim for 50–70% if possible, though they tolerate lower levels.

5.Fertilise During Active Growth
Feed every 2–4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser. Reduce in winter.

6.Don’t Cut the Long Tendrils
These vining growths eventually produce leaves and flowers. Resist the urge to trim them prematurely.

7.Leave Old Flower Spurs
Hoyas bloom from the same spurs year after year—never cut them off!

8. Pot Tightly, Not Too Large
Hoyas prefer being snug in their pots. Overpotting can lead to root rot and fewer flowers.

9..Provide Support for Climbing Varieties
Give them a trellis, hoop, or hanging basket—Hoyas love to twine and show off their trailing beauty.

10. Watch for Pests
Check regularly for mealybugs, scale, and spider mites. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap at first signs.

..…..This is the true story of how i Came to Collect Hoyas Dischorenis & Coronarium when in PNG a few years Back…………. From Bob

The Story of Your Hoya dischorensis““Chapter 5: The Hoyas of Sideia“ …..Bob Chalmers

“The sun was barely above the horizon when Rodney hit me with the idea. “Forget Alotau,” he said. “The real treasure’s out in the islands. Sideia. That’s where we’ll find something special.”““I was hooked. A tropical island in the middle of Milne Bay PNG ? It sounded like something out of a lost-world novel. “We’ll hire a runabout and shoot over there,” Rodney continued. “Just need to fuel up first.”““That should’ve been my first clue.““Into the Unknown““The next morning, I stood on the wharf staring at our “runabout.” Except, this was no casual little dinghy. It was a beast—long, powerful, and built to ride ocean swells. It looked ready to chase tuna into the horizon, not ferry a couple of plant hunters on a leisurely trip.““Then we started fueling up. The numbers on the pump kept climbing. Hundreds of dollars’ worth of fuel disappearing into the tank. Rosie a gorgeous local who could spot a hoya flower from 50m up a tree and always the voice of reason, shot Rodney a withering look. “You should have told him,” she snapped.““Told me what?““Before I could ask, the real surprise arrived. Locals. Dozens of them. Men, women, kids—each carrying sacks, baskets, and bundles of supplies. My ” expedition” had suddenly transformed into a fully-fledged community transport service.““I barely had time to process it before we were off, slicing through the calm bay waters at full throttle.““At first, I squinted ahead, trying to spot the island. I expected something close—maybe a few kilometers away……““One hour passed.““Then two.““Then three.““Now we were in open ocean, the land behind us a mere smudge on the horizon. The swell picked up, and the boat lurched over rolling waves, sending salt spray into the air. I shot Rodney a sideways glance. “You sure we’re not heading for the Philippines?”““Then, at last, a shadow appeared on the horizon—a jagged, green mass rising from the endless blue. Sideia. My pulse quickened.““Lost in Paradise““As we neared shore, the locals hopped out one by one, disappearing into the jungle like they had done this trip a thousand times before. Soon, it was just us, standing on the white sand with the thick, untamed wilderness pressing in around us. The air was rich with the scent of wet earth and salt spray.

This was it. Uncharted ground. A world untouched.““We moved inland, hacking through the undergrowth with machetes, sweat pouring down our backs. Rodney was the first to make an unexpected discovery—not a Hoya, but something even stranger. An unusual Amorphophallus species, its hooded green flowers looming like ghosts in the dense foliage.““But we weren’t here for ghost flowers.““Hours passed. The island’s heat was relentless, and my patience wore thin. We searched, we climbed, we scanned every tree and rock face.““Nothing.““I flopped onto the sand in defeat, watching the waves crash rhythmically against the shore. Maybe this had all been a fool’s errand. Maybe the Hoyas were deeper inland, in places we’d never reach. Maybe—““Then I heard Rosie yell.““”Come! Come here!”““I scrambled to my feet, heart pounding. Rosie never overreacted.““I sprinted toward her voice and skidded to a halt. There, nestled low in the undergrowth, was something out of legend—a golden, star-shaped flower, glistening in the dappled sunlight.““Hoya coronaria.““The rare New Guinea Gold Hoya. A treasure. A holy grail.““I barely had time to process it when Rodney let out a low whistle. “Look at that.”““Just meters away, scrambling over a fallen log, was another plant—a climber. Large, waxy yellow blooms hung in heavy clusters, glowing like lanterns in the jungle gloom.““Hoya dischorensis.““I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. Two rare and unknown Hoyas, growing side by side, just meters from the crashing waves.““We worked quickly, taking careful cuttings, ensuring their survival. These plants would one day be known in collections around the world as Provenance Sideia, a living testament to this wild, untamed island.““Escape from Sideia““But our adventure wasn’t over yet.““With our precious cuttings secured, we turned our attention back to getting off the island. And that’s when we realized—the tide had gone out.““Our boat, once bobbing gently in the shallows, was now stranded on the sand like a beached whale.““Rodney and I exchanged looks. “Well, that’s inconvenient.”““We had two options: wait for the tide to return or push. Neither sounded great.““After a backbreaking hour of hauling, swearing, and shoving, the boat was back in deep water. We collapsed into the seats, exhausted but victorious. Our journey back to Alotau would be long, filled with salt spray, aching muscles, and the knowledge that we had just made a once-in-a-lifetime discovery.““But there was still one more battle to fight—quarantine, biosecurity, and the bureaucratic nightmare of getting our treasures home.““But that, my friends, is another adventure entirely.““

DID YOU KNOW

DID YOU KNOW
*Cordylines will lose their colour vibrancy if you dont give
them some fertiliser every now and then.
* What we call the flower of many plants is in fact an amazing colouful bract produced by nature to attract pollinators… and so survival of the species. The true flower may be inconspicious like the Anthuriums and most of the other Aroids.
* Plants do not uptake the nutrients in fertiliser in the cold months of winter however a dose of slow release fertiliser is OK as the nutrients will start dissolving into your potting media ready to be taken up in spring.
* You can feed vermicaste to plants right through winter and your plants will be grateful and react as if is spring. Vermicaste is great because it contains billions of beneficial microbes that will proect the plant from disease and harmful insects as well as help the roots absorb more nutrients.
* The human gut system also contains billions of beneficial microbes and hundreds of different species which are in constant war with disease carrying microbes. If this flora of the gut gets out of balance it will have an effect on your immune system and can be the cause of some modern day psychological problems like ADHD, ADD, Autism,Dyslexia, Depression, Schizophrenia and Dyspraxia (see Dr Natasha Campbell-McBrideMD, MMedSci(Neurology0,MMedSci (nutrition)…Gut And Psychology Syndrome…Natural Treatment for…)
* I might add that such an imbalance also
effects Memory Loss.

 Two Amazing Hoya Facts

*Hoya Flowers Produce Nectar That Can Drip Like Honey
Many Hoyas secrete a sweet, sticky nectar that not only attracts pollinators but can form visible droplets—sometimes dripping from the plant like a sugar syrup.

*Some Hoyas Smell Like Chocolate, Vanilla, or Cinnamon
Hoya flowers can be wonderfully scented, with varieties like Hoya lacunosa or Hoya odorata emitting fragrances from vanilla custard to spicy cinnamon buns—an olfactory surprise with every bloom!

* Thomas Edison got patents for a method of making concrete furniture and a cigar which was supposed to burn forever.
* The average garden variety caterpillar has 248 muscles in its head.
* The oldest exposed surface on earth is New Zealand’s south island.
* Every two thousand frowns creates one wrinkle.
* Sirimauo Bandranaike of Sri Lanka became the world’s first popularly elected female head of state in 1960.
* Orcas (killer whales) kill sharks by torpedoing up into the shark’s stomach from underneath, causing the shark to explode.
* Twelve or more cows are known as a “flink….” A group of frogs is called an army. …..A group of rhinos is called a crash…… A group of kangaroos is called a mob….. A group of whales is called a pod. ….A group of geese is called a gaggle….. A group of ravens is called a murder….. A group of officers is called a mess…… A group of larks is called an exaltation….. A group of owls is called a parliament.

Lessons for Team Play From the Goose

As each bird flaps its wings it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a V formation the whole flock has at least 71% greater flying range than that of birds flying on their own. As the leading bird tires it retires back into the formation to be replaced by a fresh one. The Geese from behind honk to encourage the leaders to keep up the pace. Sick birds are chapperoned down with two other geese and they stay with it until it dies or gets better and then they fly alone until they join another flock.

 

 

 

 

  TRUE LIES

TRUE LIES A few years back one of our customers Helen out past Quilpie in Western Queensland received a rare Pingine Talking Parrot for her birthday from husband Dave. The parrot was fully grown, with a very bad attitude and worse vocabulary….Every other word was an expletive; those that weren’t expletives were, to say the least, rude. Helen tried to change the bird’s attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music… anything she could think of. Nothing worked.
Dave yelled at the bird, and the bird got worse. He shook the bird, and the bird got madder and more rude……Finally, in a moment of desperation, Helen put the parrot in the freezer!! For a few moments she heard the bird swearing, squawking, kicking and screaming and then, suddenly, there was absolute quiet.Helen was frightened that she might have actually hurt the bird, and quickly opened the freezer door.The parrot calmly stepped out onto Helen’s extended arm and said, “I’m sorry that I offended you with my language and my actions, and I ask your forgiveness. I will endeavor to correct my behavior”.
Helen was astounded at the changes in the bird’s attitude and was about to ask what had changed him, when the parrot continued, “May I ask what the Chicken did?”

How to converse with your plants.

Some of us think its the first sign of madness when you talk to your plants…..but nothing could be further from the truth. However it is simple to converse with them if you simply use your other senses of sight, touch and smell. You will soon learn if they are not happy with their nutrients, soil or potting media health, soil microbe status, light, moisture & mulch situation, competition from weeds, attack from insects or disease. When they tell you you can take action and in return they will fill up the same senses you used to converse….this is a true two way conversation!!

A Story of Passion, Perseverance, and Plants

Bob wiped the sweat from

his brow as he stepped

into the greenhouse, the scent of damp earth and fresh

foliage filling the air. The sun hung low in the sky,

casting golden rays over rows of rare and unusual

plants—each one a testament to decades of dedication, resilience, and an unshakable love for the natural world.
Paradise Distributors had not always been the thriving nursery it was today. Back in 1992, when Bob and Bev first took over, it was little more than a defunct business, failing to survive. To most, it looked like a lost cause. But to Bob, it was a diamond in the rough—an untamed paradise just waiting to be revived.
They rolled up their sleeves, diving headfirst into the world of plant propagation, science and the intricate dance of seasons. The work was far from easy—long days in the sweltering sun, endless hours packing orders, and the constant challenge of finding and growing plants that would ignite excitement in fellow enthusiasts. But the rewards were immeasurable. Each new leaf unfurling, each tiny seedling pushing through the soil, was a reminder of why they had chosen this life.

It wasn’t just about plants. It was about people. Over the years, customers didn’t just buy plants—they became part of the Paradise family. Some called from far-flung corners of the country just to chat about their latest garden adventures. Others sent letters filled with stories and photos of plants they had nurtured for decades, thriving under their careful hands.

Now, decades later, Paradise Distributors stood as a testament to unwavering passion and perseverance. Over 200 customers had been with them for more than 20 years—a loyalty so strong that, as Bob liked to joke, “They’d leave the planet before they’d leave us!”

As he stood among the lush greenery, Bob smiled. Paradise wasn’t just a place. It was a way of life—a life built on patience, love, and the simple joy of watching something grow. And as long as there were people who shared that joy, Paradise Distributors would continue to flourish.

After all, true plant lovers know—paradise isn’t found. It’s cultivated.

….Tiny Plants….40% Below Regular Market Prices….

We Introduce Tiny Plants for Tiny Prices

Initially we propagate plants in a tiny tube (42mm or 50mm) and then grow it on in a larger pot 75mm diameter across the the top. The bigger pot is 4 times the volume for the roots to grow into. The larger plant is more robust and ready to plant out. The tiny plants need more nurturing.
As other outlets sell shrubs in these tiny tubes we are now doing the same but there will be a difference. Our price for many shrubs in a tiny tube will be tiny ie $3.90!! If popular we will keep it going.

Pots are measured by diameter across the top eg 75mm, 42mm and 50mm.
Our plants are mostly in 75mm pots, 4 times bigger pot for roots than the 42mm tiny plant.

 

 

 

 

Plant Quarantine….What we have to do to carry out the Plant Quarantine Protocol for WA, Tasmania and NT.

* We have to hold the plants in a dedicated quarantine area but its not how long they are held that matters …its the specified treatment and a lot more.
* All plants are sent in their pots in a soiless potting mix.
* We get permission to send the plants from WA, Tas and NT. Plants must be identified with their correct botanical names.
* All plants are sprayed and dipped wuth the approved chemicals
* Plant Health Certificates are prepared for signing by the Authorised Officers
* All plants are inspected for certain pests and diseases important to the receiving States by the Qld .Dept of Agriculture who sign off on the documents.
*We then prepare the plants for sending so they have moisture and and are protected in transit. Then we pack the plants into cartons.
* The cartons are sent by overnight Air Freight.
PS We also do this Quarantine Protocol for other Growers and the details are listed in the Concierge Quarantine Hub.

 

 

 

 

INTERSTATE CONCIERGE QUARANTINE SERVICE

Plants cannot simply be sent into Western Australia, Northern Territory or Tasmania without satisfying the protocols of the particular Depts of Agriculture.
We have been providing a Concierge/Quarantine Service for Interstate Plants for a couple of years now. Clients from Western Australia, Northern Territory or Tasmania who want specific plants we do not have here… simply get those plants sent to us and we repot and label them, hold them till our next 3 weekly send out date, treat them with insecticides and fungicides as required, do all the necessary paperwork and then repackage and send out Courier by Air Express. This is an expensive process when you add in the freight and government fees. If you require further information go to our Concierge Hub on our website.

…VEGETARIANS, DIABETICS, VEGANS AND CANCER PATIENTS…
….or Anyone who wants to stay healthy or Slimmer……

Did you know you need about 60 grams a day of protein or you will waste away!
Since I have suffered from a condition causing pain from connective tissue tightening, inflamation and internal bleeding…. and am also vegetarian I decided to make up a mixture of seeds that are low carb, low Glycaemic Index, High Protein and full of vitamins and nutrients as well as inflamation reducing Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
NB If those conditions sound serious I can assure you they are not….we all get used to these sort of things and always remember there are people and animals who truly suffer.

Last time I told you we were making up our own blend made up of a known successful mix.
Well we did it and the initial results are its entirely edible!!
But whats more the pain from inflamation has disappeared completely. We call this mix Genesis ……and Here is our Genesis Mix:

Almonds, Pepitas, Linseed, Sesame Seeds, Sunflower Kernals, Chia all 1 TableSpoon and Cocoa, Lecithin both 1 Teaspoon and Psyllium, Brewers Yeast, Wheatgerm all 1/4 Teaspoon.
This enough for One day. All these ingredients are available at your health food store. Mind you… it would take you hours to sort it all out and you would pay a lot more.

Mrytle Rust Alert now affects some plants into the SA & Tas as well as WA…..which means we cannot send plants from Family Myrtaceae to these states. Restrictions will soon be lifted in Victoria as Myrtle Rust has been found in 60 locations. In reality it has probably been around Australia the last 100 years but it needs a very wet year to be noticeable.

 

 

 

…WA & SA, Tas & NT Customers….

There is an alert for Myrtle Rust for WA & Tas. The following potential host genus are not allowed entry into WA .:
Austromyrtus, Callistemon, Begonia, Eugenia, Feijoa, Kunzea, Leptospermum, Melaleuca, Myrciaria, Psidium, Syzygium, There are many more Ostemon, Rhodomyrtus, Pimenta and many more.
These are the plants that may appear in our catalogue & is not the complete list. The complete list includes all the Family Myrtaceae. It was hoped this would be a short term measure…..but the authorities are in no rush to take action that would lead to lift the restriction. To check if your plant is in the Myrtaceae Family…google its name and put Myrtaceae Family after its name and the result will tell you if in that Family or not.

There are other plants that are not permitted into WA for various reasons. We get all our plants approved by the State Dept of Agricultures when sending.

Here are a few more for your information.

Euphorbia species, Citrus species, Microcitrus species, Hibiscus species, Azalea species, Feijoa species, Vaccinium species Blueberry, Rhododendron, Solanum, Vireya & Begonia.
