I live in Tennessee and want to grow Hoya's I had a Hoya Cornosa when I lived in CA it was a white flower with the burgandy center and had a beautiful fragrance. I would like to have that plant again... (plants are like potato chips ... you can't just have one). If anyone can give me some hints on where to find that exact plant and not an "iffy" plant and how to grow it in my house in TN ... my major windows are facing West. I have East windows but there are a lot of trees there. I have one North window that would be good (it also has a West window right next to it) They are in a corner.
Can I use a plant light for it?
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.

I don't know where you can get this plant in the US, but I grow it and and it will bloom, without any supplemental light in my living room. I keep it by an east window that has a big tree not far away, but it is a bright room with widows on the north and south too. If you can get a cutting from someone, they root easily. I put a cutting in a zip lock bag and it sent out root nubs before I gave it away.

The Moonhowl gallopes through the pages of Dave's Gardening. Occasionally she stops and sniffs the air. Something has caught her attention. She throughs back her head and lives up to her name. Listen closely when the moonhowls.
