Wow! That's a beauty! Would it bloom like that if it was grown indoors?
Many Hoyas can be grown indoors and will also bloom indoors. It is said that warm and humid conditions are required for blooming thus they may not bloom in airconditioned rooms. Best is to provide a shaded outdoor spot in summer.
H. pubicalyx and the cv's are easy, fast growing Hoyas.
Do you know where I could purchase this lovely plant? It would looks so great with the one I have.
Check Watson's Hoya House on the DG Member stores.

And also not to forget the store of the nice lady which provided many of my pics for PDB and where I got several Hoyas from.
