I bought this hoya as an already big plant in July 1999. It grew fast and developed quite a few peduncles and in August 2000 it flowered for the first time and the fragrance from all these flowers was too much in my then small apartment. It had to be out on the balcony during evenings and nights when it flowered. This is by far one of the easiest hoyas to grow and to get flowers on.
Over the years I've divided this plant and I have now three big plants. One in a sunny window in the east and this one tends to get a little yellow from the sun. Another plant is in a west facing window and it also gets yellowish leaves, bot both these flower like crazy. The third plant is also placed in the west, but doesn't get direct sunlight, and this plant is really dark green and doesn't flower as much as the other two. But who cares?!! I have enough flowers as it is...
