Hi all! I was not a Hoya Lover until a friend gave me a cutting from her Hoya Carnosa a few years ago. That little cutting is now a six foot plant blooming like crazy! My problem appears to be two other cuttings that I planted in hanging pots about 2 years ago. While they are growing, and have almost caught up with the Hoya Carnosa, they aren't blooming. In fact, they aren't doing much of anything except growing.

Is there a specific age the plants have to be before blooming? For example, the orchid cactus I grow normally won't bloom until they are at least 3 years old. Is it the same with the Hoyas?
