I agree with you all about watering the ceramic pots less. I did splurge (all of about $5) and bought one of those moisture meters. Funny thing is, it would read "dry," so I would water. I think maybe I was measuring the moisture straight down the pot, and, on the rounder pots (pictured in the first post of this thread), the moisture was in the sides....I don't know. So I think I have decided just to repot all the hoyas in the rounder pots into plastic, and set the plastic container inside the pot. The 'straighter' pots, pictured below, seem to be draining ok, so I'll probably leave the hoyas I have in those alone, and just watch for "failure to thrive" symptoms.
I really appreciate everyone's input on this - it's one of the things I like best about this forum - being able to talk things through with you all!
