Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Problem with H. Lauterbechii, 0 by duigiud

Hello;

Bill Maxey here in Tallahassee. I have a new Lauterbechii and have noticed that the leaves are starting to turn yellow. I have one Hoya Krinkle Kurl leaf or H. Crispum that I keep outside under my front porch most of the year. The thing has taken temps down to the low 30's over night without killing it. However, I don't know enough about the Lauterbachii to know how hardy it is or how it compares to the Krinkle Kurl. I got this plant about 3 weeks ago and hung it inside next to a north facing window where it gets indirect sun. I planted it in a hanging pot approx 6" wide and 9" deep. I gave it about a cup of water when I planted it and none since. This is the 2nd Lauterbachii I've had. The first one I got last year turned yellow and died after about a month or two. I thought that I would get one and see if I could do better but it seems I'm killing this one too. Same thing. I talked to the folks that I bought the plant from and they seem to think that it might need more sun and suggested some direct sunlight. I thought Hoyas would burn with direct light? What could I be doing to this plant to kill it? I'm attaching a pic.
