bought this little guy as a cutting for $2.00.

I saw the mother plant, she twines and has creamy flowers similar to Hoya carnosa......

I believe the corolla was light creamy pink OR light creamy white (I forgot) with dark pink/red center. Used to have gorgeous dark leaves but lost its colour. during the summer, I saw new growth of leaves but quickly died a couple days after. Another set came in and died also and it's been more than 4 months now and I have not seen new growths.

The first set of new leaves, this hoya was located by my window sill, it was hot and sunny. Then when I saw the new sets of leaves dying I relocated it to a shadier spot, and not as warm. Then the second set of new leaves died again.

it's not located by my morning glory vines, outside the aquarium/terrarium with lights for a couple of weeks now. I still see no new growths. The lady whom I bought it from said it was easy to grow, but I'm really having trouble with this one... (well it's usually like that in my room - the ones that are easiest to grow die on me [like my congo cockatoo], while the ones that a couple of people say are hard to grow I can grow in my room [coffea arabica, some alocasias])
