I love my Hoya, it was a cutting given to me by a friend about 15+ years ago. I just kept winding the long shoots round and round over the years and now it is a huge mound of leaves about 3 ft high and nearly that wide around. It lives in the west window of the kitchen until May, when I put it out in the back of the house where it only gets late afternoon filtered sunlight, and it blooms all summer and then some.
