Now that I had a name to put to it, I went on-line and found the EXACT
plant that was in my pic!

Also checked other Hoyas, and some do have trailing vines. Maybe that
was what the nursery guy meant ??


No, I think the nursery guy must misplaced his glasses (or maybe the
pot had been shifted and he went by location rather than appearance).

There is a plant that grows trailing 'strings of pearls' but it isn't a Hoya,
it's Senecio rowleyanus. I've also heard of it being calleda 'green pea'
plant. A new one that hadn't started running would look a lot like a
pile of green peas.


In any case, the plant hasn't budged an inch in over two years, despite
good food, water and sun. It's described as being happy in a pot, but I
will check just in case it's getting pot-bound.

Hoyas like being just a bit pot-bound.
