Debra, on the crotons, mine seem to thrive on neglect. If I coddle them and grow lots of luscious new leaves, the bugs find them irresistible. Keep 'em on the dry side, in half shade until spring when you can put it outside, then go to town on fertilizer etc. It will jump up and thrive. Watch for scale and mealybugs down in the leaf sheaths.

The Scrubbing Bubbles sounds like a great idea. It's a shower cleaner spray that foams up when applied, so has more than just soap in it. I'd want to experiment on a small section of each plant first to see if they're sensitive.

Mj, when I went to Lowe's website to look for Rita's neat plant hangers, they have a really cool "Rope Hoya" on there that looked like something you'd love. http://www.lowes.com/pd_337244-25548-66B010146-20_0__?produc...
