....and are you successful?

For me, and many others, H. lacunosa is a wonderful everblooming hoya with the most marvelous fragrance - for others it is a nightmare. Let's try to find out why this big difference in success?

Let's start out our comments with either Successful or NOTSuccessful and then explain how we grow it...and what our growing conditions are. Hopefully we can help those with no luck.

I am successful. My environment is humid but not 'soggy humid', not HOT (never over 90deg. and rarely over 85deg). We even have occasional very dry weather/wind. Our nighttime temps in the winter can get into the mid-50s. My mix is very loose and I keep H. lacunosa moist with occasional dryouts. I grow in indirect very bright light
