I have a couple of Hoya carnosa's in hanging baskets but my two large ones are on trellises. I found a couple of old 8' aluminum porch thingies in the shed last year and had my husband saw them in half so I could use them for trellises. Two of the big carnosa's are on those.

I've learned from some pro's on the Hoya forum that carnosa's prefer to be kept on the dry side, so I let mine get very dry before watering. We have very high humidity though so I don't know if that makes a difference.
