Aloha , great picture ! I have one of these and didn't bloom , only had some buds fell down. Where do you keep your hoyas? Mine is on a northern window, with no sun, except for 1 or 2 hours during summer.

Thank you, Adina... My callistophylla is in the shade with bright indirect light (outdoors as I live in Hawaii). Important thing about callistophylla is never let it dry out...it likes water!!! The hoyas in the Greenhouse get more light...but still watered. Your N. exposure sounds good...except in the winter...isn't it rather dark?

Aloha,

Carol, hi ! Yes, it's rather dark, maybe that's why she doesn't grow so well. Whatdo you think ?

She doesn't take well to BRIGHT light (washes out) but bright indirect light is good I would move her out to brighter light. The carnosas and carnosa relatives do well in low light...maybe you could switch?

Thanks, Carol, I think I'll move it on the southern balcony. Now it's winter and not so sunny, but cold. I'll try to find a carnosa for my northern room. They have some beautiful hoyas in the barber's window , here in our neighborhood. They indeed have much light !

Adina...

I never thought of Hoyas and Hungary...but I don't see why not....after all they are great indoor plants. Are there many collectors there?

Balotesti, Romania(Zone 5a)

Carol, I live in Romania, not Hungary, very often people are mistaken about this. And yes, we are many collectors ! We have many indoors plants, many have hoyas, I don't know how I could have missedit for so long ! usually, we exchange plants and, of course, each wants to have as many plants as can get. Our homes are full of so many species of plants, but we enjoy them so much !
See here my northern window, that's in the living room.

Carol, it's OK, everyone in America thinks that Bucharest is in Hungary.Once, we've received a letter from an US college and the address was Budapest, Romania !! It took it 2 months to come to us !
Thanks, I've already moved it on the southern window. I'll let you know how it works.
