See the dripping wax on our 8-year old plant, which has had 20+ blooms continuously for 8 months. In our conservatory near London, England.

A single clipping from a hanging clay pot. The Hoya is on the North side of house, underneath the eaves.

This plant over-wintered outside in the SF Bay Area (zone 9b). It gets afternoon sun. Flowers produced a prodigious amount of nectar.
