I am so happy to see what others are doing with their hoyas. Mine are all on the screened in front porch which means many of them do not get any direct sun. Some could really benefit from a little morning sun.

My friend in Houston went to Lowe's and bought a pergola of steel (nice color) and used shade cloth on the top of it. Her son attached it to the concrete patio floor for hurricane season. She is loving the way you can hang about 20-30 baskets where you wish...........
This isn't a good picture because they are using fabric on this one but it gives you the right idea. The cost was 450.00 and well worth it. The brand was Treasure something.............

I would love to do what my friend did so I could hang each hoya in the exact right sun.......

Let me see if I can find a picture of my front porch.......maybe a picture from last year so you can't see the hoyas I have acquired since then.......now I have added about 30 heavy screws going into the hardy plank with plywood underneath the ceiling.........to hold my hoyas..
