A good hoya to fit these conditions?

Hi folks

I have finally found my new job in London - and just started! Very exciting! I would love to bring one of my hoyas in to work, so I wondered if you guys would have any suggestions which hoya would fulfil these conditions:

- 20-25 C (about 70 F) with air conditioning
- very bright space, with some afternoon sunlight

and some preferablys:
- not too fragrant flowers
- doesn't grow too fast, or a hanging hoya (can hang off the side of the desk and hopefully not fall off!)
- regular flowers would be nice, but not too drippy

Suggestions please! Thanks, Hills

Hills, I had a pubicalyx with me for a few years at work, Pink Silver, it was in a clay pot, 6", and I had it sitting on the corner of my desk in front of a big, fairly bright window, no direct sun. The vines hung down the side of the desk. It did fine there, and in fact, after I left that job I took the plant home and set it on top of my TV, and it bloomed for the first time a few weeks later. I had thought all along that it was a type of carnosa, till the flower opened and it was that dark pink. (nice surprise!)

I think the perfect one would be Multiflora.
Grows upright, flowers often, no noticable scent. I have that one at my desk (along with a bunch of others that probably should be here *lol*) and so far it seems to be thriving in the "office" conditions.

As far as tolerating air conditioning, I have a pubicalyx and carnosa on the office window sill, and they are growing well despite having the air vents blowing directly onto them. They are on their 3rd or 4th round of buds this year. Rooted cuttings of motoskei, rigida, lao II and merrilli are also doing well. Crassicaulis is ok but not as happy. The window gets some direct sun in the morning (but through tinted glass). Not sure you would call any of them slow growers though....

Shepherdii would be a good choice and Krimson queen also.....thats a slower growing one ....both would do well in those conditions....although so many to choose from, you may have buy a new one, which isnt a bad thing!

Any of the H. carnosas or H. pubicalyx....

H. heuschkeliana might fit the bill.

Thanks you guys, that's very helpful... I will have to bring one in and give it a try... or buy some new ones... no, that's just dangerous!!!
