Sorry to hear the failings Nlb59. From what I have seen and experienced with the Sans, if grown outdoors during summer and if your area is dry as rock like ours, with temps hitting 80's and higher, it can take daily waterings. But if you area during summer is hot but quite humid and at times rainy, just let Mother Nature water it, but make sure your soil is really well draining to avoid rotting. In cooler months to winter, if you can take it indoors, once a month of watering is fine. And the same treatment with Hoyas..that is what I am seeing with my plants.
Stush, the Hoyas are addicting to collect too..I started with that Hoya Kerrii variegata, just fell in love with heart shaped leaves..not even knowing the exact culture requirements
Hoyas love shade, that is for sure! But it is an ant magnet with their sap, and it takes a great while longer for me to get them to bloom. I guess it is my lack of humidity here. My Hoya shooting star is the more prolific one in making its blooms for me, this one growing indoors and sitting on water, loves that much water. The others love water but not sitting on water..so a lot of culture needs to learn about them.
