Hoya, I have rooted hundreds of them in my life, they always die it the night temps are over 65-70. Accoring to some of the books I have read we are not supposed to be able to grow the scented in our hot humid summers. A few don't make it, but, I would say 75% of them do just fine. The key to their success is keeping the area where the stem meets the ground on the dry side. Don't plant them deep and you can water every day if the soil they are in is 'light' and fast draining. We are so humid here that I only have to water every other day. I live in a rental so I don't put high priced plants in the ground. At $9 for a 6" pot I won't leave 'em behind if I decide to move.
