Author Message   Alicia  My Weather Posted on Saturday, November 19, 2005 - 09:49 pm EST :    I am trying my hand at growing a Hoya. Can someone tell me what they like? My friend gave it to me but didn't tell me how to grow it.

I didn't see your post until now Alicia, my friend. I'm hoping a knowledgeable Gardenbuddy will know some good growing information. Actually, I think I grew this once. Does it have real thick leaves? I'm wondering if it needs a lot of sunlight and not much water???? I could be Really wrong about that. (Alicia, I'm visiting family in Madison now but I will write you soon. I'll e-mail you!)

Both seem to like a bit of neglect, not a lot of water and a gritty compost. Also reasonably warm conditions, with sun in winter and indirect bright light in summer.

I don't really know anything about them but a friend of mine gave me a stem off of hers in April and it is growing nicely and I it is aw beautiful plant. How long before it blooms? Alicia - Wisconsin, Zone "3"   Perennial_girl  My Garden Posted on Monday, November 28, 2005 - 06:21 pm EST :    Alicia it all depends on the growing conditions you give the hoya. I know that they like to have their roots crowded.
