In reply to Mel. Hi Melissa, Thank you for reaching out.It seems like the bathroom one is under control, even though I would still place it in a room with natural light. If the one by the window is sitting on a west facing window, you need to move it elsewhere as the direct sun it is too strong on it, otherwise, give it more time.

Hi, I’m a relatively new plant keeper and I perchesed two Hoya vines last summer back then thay wher vining like mad up my lace curtens which was grate. This spring thay stalled hard so one’s gone into my bathroom while the other is in my window to see if I could encourage more splits in the vine instead of just length. The bathroom one has only bright artificial light but hire humidity while the window has natural light and lower humidity. The bathroom ones starting to expand but slowly, should I re-combine them and put them bothe in the bathroom?

In reply to Yolanda. Hello Yolanda, you can try to place it in the soil without roots but I am not 100% sure it will root and grow. It depends on the environmental conditions. It's definitely best to root in in water first.

Hello Fiona,
I think you are doing fantastic, and yes, all you need is patience.
I yet have to see a blooming flower from the Hoya I propagated from my friend three years ago!
Cheers

I deadheaded 12 of 13 peduncles on my very healthy 25+ year old Hoya C. A year later, when the 13th bloomed, I researched and found my error. That was last 2021. I’ve been trying to encourage the formation of new peduncles and I can see a few new ones are appearing this year. One is now forming some petal stems. I’m very pleased about this but I’m wondering if there is anything more I can do. It has the correct lighting and I am watering as you and others suggest. I started fertilizing it monthly for a bit last fall then stopped over winter (I’m in Canada) and I’m about to start with weak fertilizing again. Any more thoughts/ideas? I am a very patient person, so if patience is all I need at this point, I can do that, too.

In reply to Catherine.

Hello Catherine,
I am so sorry to hear about your Hoya. Your plant has a chance to come back if the roots are still healthy. Try to remove it from its pot. If the roots are still healthy and not rotten, you can repot them in a new terracotta pot with draining holes, some fresh soil and some perlite to add drainage properties to the soil. Then follow the tips on the article to care for it.
Good Luck!
