Thank you Carol,

Sandy, we were posting at the same time, thanks.

For the longest time, this hoya wasn't doing too much, then I saw that one of my cats was EATING IT!!! I ended up moving it to a windowsill right above my kitchen sink, and it get hot, hot, hot west sun. It isn't to the extreme of sunburning, as my house has awnings installed on the west and east windows, so it is filtered, but I notice that the hoyas growing in these exposures dry out quite a bit.

Once I moved it, it hasn't stopped growing. I have cut tons of it for friends, and trades, and it just keeps filling in. I LOVE it. It has a really lacy look to it, that makes me want to touch the leaves every time I see it.

Here is the whole plant. I took this one in early May, I think, and it has grown even more since then.
