Sandy,

Thanks for the feedback! I REALLY appreciate hearing back from people I have sent cuttings to. They're--sort of--my "babies", if you know what I mean.....

Mine is at least 6-7 years old. It is VERY top heavy, in a lopsoded kind of a way. Seems all the heavy growth is on one side, and I mean HEAVY! I am just hoping that the hangers on the pot hold out.
Also, the "fronds" are so long and coarse. When I bring this in for the winter, it takes up the space of 2 HB's. Last year, i cut off a couple of the biggest, longest pieces and cut them up in 4" sections. Stuck them (4 to a pot) in a 5" shallow pot. They all rooted (succulents root so well!) and I separated them this Spring.

Please post a picture of how big yours have grown!
I am sure you have seen all the pictures I have posted, but here's one from last year.

Picabo--I know what you mean by "once they start....". That happened to my Hoya. Two years ago, it had one bloom cluster. Last year, there were many, many. This year, all the same little bloom-stubs are budding out. I can't stand the plant! It is in an 8" HB and all entwined around itself and unruly, but I am NOT touching it!
