Looking for plant tips from keen Gardeners!

Hi,

Can someone please help point me into the directions of the best possible way to find a heart shaped cactus?

Plus is a Hoya Kerrii the same as a cacti?

I need to buy this before the 26th of January and I'm running out of ideas where I can buy! My local flower shop doesnt have a very large selection and I'm not sure where to turn to next.

I'm in Aberdeenshire

Any help is welcome!

Thanks

The Hoya is more of a climbing/trailing plant with succulent like leaves I think. I have seen a lot of single Hoya heart shaped leaves (i.e. a leaf cutting) in pots in florists recently, rather a fashionable 'Valentine' marketing gimmick, they don't stay like that, eventually a stem will grow up into a whole new plant.

So a Heart shaped Hoya would lose its shape eventually?

Are actual cacti which are heart shaped hard to find? Or is it a matter of luck of the draw if you can find one?

You just end up with lots of heart shaped leaves on long stems I suppose! You can google for images.
I'm sure there must be heart shaped cacti, I'm not expert enough to name one. But so called 'Living Stones' (Lithops species) can look pretty much like a heart. If you Google for pictures/specialist nurseries I'm sure you'll find something.

Cut to the chase and get one of these!
