I bought this hoya as a rather large plant in September 2002. I actually bought it in a building supply store! It was wrapped around a rusty small support and I spent quite some time untangling the vines and re-wrapped them on another support. Looked much better and no more rust!

This is truly a hoya that grows fast and flowers often. It didn't have any buds when I bought it but it didn't take long before it bloomed. It bloomed constantly and the kitchen is often filled with this sweet caramel fragrance. Not only from this hoya, though...

I saved a few cuttings when moving to my apartment in June 2008 and thesa have now grown quite well and I've taken more cuttings and put in with the rest when I've repotted it the past few years after moving to the new house in November 2009. This hoya is nice on a support, but now I grow it as a hanging plant and I guess that's the way it should grow to flourish the best.
