The honest truth John I have never really researched Hoya's but I think when
they say easy grower they mean hard to kill??
Not sure they will flower growing indoors, although it depends on the amount
of sunlight they get?
Yes they are painfully slow, slower than orchids.

This past Spring I bought several "tropicals" that are supposed to be
fragrant. My idea is to keep them inside to perfume the house
(assuming that we can stand what they eventually smell like).

Anyway, one of them, listed as "easy" in the catalog and usable as a
houseplant, was a Hoya odorata. All the other plants are quite happy,
but this guy hasn't grown a mm since I potted him 4-months ago. On the
other hand, he hasn't turned up his toes either.

Are there any particular tricks to this "easy" plant?

Thanks

JD
