How long must I wait?

Hi all! I was not a Hoya Lover until a friend gave me a cutting from her Hoya Carnosa a few years ago. That little cutting is now a six foot plant blooming like crazy! My problem appears to be two other cuttings that I planted in hanging pots about 2 years ago. While they are growing, and have almost caught up with the Hoya Carnosa, they aren't blooming. In fact, they aren't doing much of anything except growing.

Is there a specific age the plants have to be before blooming? For example, the orchid cactus I grow normally won't bloom until they are at least 3 years old. Is it the same with the Hoyas?

So much depends on alot of variables. Some people wait years for their H. carnosa to bloom! There is NO telling ... there are early bloomers but I think it is all done with smoke and mirrors!!!

I have had carnosas, and a pubicalyx, that took over 10yrs, but then a carnosa variegata and a compacta that bloomed in less than 3 years - you never know.

I have carnosas less than 6 months old blooming...and another over 4 years old...nada. Go figger!!!

Oh my I have a headache. I may not ever see mine bloom. I have had them at least 2 years and they are quite large but never a bloom. :(

Makshi, that's the way I feel about these two plants of mine. They started out small, but are growing beautifully. I guess the speed with which the Carnosa bloomed spoiled me. OK, I'll just wait and try not to be impatient! Susan
