    I find this Hoya an easy care plant. When grown in sun the foliage takes on a reddish tinge but if grown in bright shade the leaves remain green. I grow this plant in a chunky, fast draining potting medium consisting of orchid bark mix and potting soil, and I grow it on the dry side watering every other week. The blooms are small and very fragrant. This Hoya blooms for me throughout spring, summer and fall.
