My Hoya australis var. tenuipes, which was grown from a rooted cutting last summer really took off this summer. It started blooming sporadically in September with one to just a few flowers per peduncle. At the moment it has one umbel with 20 flowers with numerous buds just starting on several other peduncles. I've been giving it as much light as it can take in a southern exposure. During the peak of summer I needed to move it back from the window about a foot as the growing tips were adversely affected to the point of becoming stunted. I'm curious as to how this compares with other's experience.
