I received this hoya last spring, I had ordered a medium size plant and received 2 small plants. Instead of potting them together, I planted one in the 4.5" hanging plastic pot and one in a 4" clay pot. They both were planted in the same soil and received the same light. I did put about 3/4" of perlite at the bottom of the plastic pot when I planted. I am amazed at the difference in the growth. I have since repotted all of the hoya that were in clay pots into plastic. The plant on the right was in the clay pot.
