I bought this hoya as a rather large plant in September 2002. It grew to almost double in size by branching in less than one year. It flowered almost right after I got it home and I don't remember that it was ever without flowers. The only bad thing was the mess the flowers made...

Unfortunately my plant developed small black spots on the leaves and I couldn't seem to stop them from coming. The plant was beyond help and I ended up throwing it out in November 2003.

In July 2004 I found a new healthy rather big plant in full bloom and I had much more luck with this plant. It grew well and flowered like crazy! However, due to limited space in my windows I decided that this plant should move to my brother... So, now it's thriving in his house and making quite a mess on the window board!

In September 2010 I started a rather big project where I potted several hoyas together in three levels and among these hoyas is a new cutting of javanica and there are already two umbels on the way so it seems my project is a success?!!

It's said that the hoya so often sold as Hoya multiflora isn't multiflora. It should be called Hoya javanica... It's a jungle of hoya names! *sigh*
