I love this plant!!! AND can't grow it!
I've tried a couple of times and just no luck. When I lived in Fontana CA I bought a beautiful one and was told it could be grown in the house, so I put in a ceiling hook about 3 feet from a window and hung it up. I watered as was told I should, but over the next month it slowly died. I than set the pot outside the back door and forgot it. 3 weeks later I noticed something green out there and found the Hoya growing nicely, took it back in the house and it died again. Put it outside and egnored it. You guessed it! It grow back and this time I left it outside. It took over the side yard and put out blooms like crazy!! From than on it sayed outside. When I moved from there I gave it to a friend. He had all kinds of fun transporting it to his house.

I agree with bonehead. Beautiful, and they look like little candies.

I have had wax hoya years ago, but never saw any blooms, so I lost interest. These blooms are beautiful. Thanks for the pic. Luciee
