I'm so glad I found this thread! I bought this hoya about a year ago not remembering what the woman called it but thought it was just so neat!! it's done remarkably well, she said it was very hardy and she was right! You(2many plants) had mentioned something about mealys. I actually just demealy bugged this one a few days ago because I noticed it had a few...but not too many actually. Is this plant prone to getting mealys?! Also, There are a few bare spots, could I cut it off and then plant it like you can do with succulents? Some leaves don't look so hot but it's such a tough plant!! And I've actually gotten like three separate blooms from this plant, I really like it, a lot!!

i'm really new to the plant world and am never quite sure what I'm doing!! So any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks again for the thread! :)
