I have trouble getting my Hoyas to bloom. A friend gave me a cutting of a rope hoya (hoya compacta) two years ago and says hers blooms all the time but mine never has. I also have a hoya anulata which blooms very infrequently. They are in pots inside a screened in porch with dark screen that has an eastern/southern exposure so they get lots of muted light but not too much.

flfwrs, I only have one hoya (Hoya lacunosa) and I keep it outside in a hanging basket under the shaded oaks, it does get filtered sun and most shade. I feed it when I feed my orchids, the same food. Mostly let it get rain water, but if I do have to water it, I water with rain water. It seems to bloom off and on from late spring through the fall. Maybe in the summer you could fi jhonpeeter64 wrote: This is lovely and awesome bloom!
