Hoya, scented geranium root best when the temps are cool (around 60-70).

I have a small collection of scented that I keep in pots on a west facing wall, outside year around. I plant them high because they tend to get stem rot in out hot humid summers. When I pot them up I make sure the base of the plant is 1" higher than the surrounding soil, with a stake (at first) to keep them from getting knocked over. I water every other day.
