Hello all,
I was looking for help on the care of a plant i received while having surgery and after having complications i ended up with a couple of plants.My husband the sweetie he is knows what kind of plants i like (cause i constantly tell him about them)he bought me a H.polyneura -a fishtail Hoya and a H. carnosa Chelsea.After reading through this thread i'm really worried about the fish tail mostly (i haven't looked up the chelsea yet)

Sound like their has been a lot of experience's with this particular plant.Can anyone give me some advice or tips to stack the odds my way a little!!! I don't want to loose it.It is currently hanging in a bay window facing maybe southeast.It shares the bay with 6 other hoya's,some christmas cactus and a lipstick plant.This will be the first season i've had Hoya's to go out with the rest of the clan.But in reading the post's above maybe it should go out first & then be put back inside before the heat gets bad.I usually let my hoya's dry out a little before watering them,is the fish tail an exception to that practice? Some one said they don't like to dry out.

Any tips on this plant will be greatly appreciated.

Have a nice evening

P.S. my camera is a dinosaur and the color is always off.So any yellow the plant looks to have it really doesn't,it's a beautiful plant!! for now
