Cinta said:I have one Hoya (Carnosa Hindu rope) and it is blooming its head off but I was disappointed because I thought they were fragrant. I am going to get rid of it. I have never had any bug problems but I have never had a bug problem with any of my houseplants.

I feel like I should knock on wood every time I say that. I have over 100 plants I bring in for the winter and have never had a bug problem. I do have a cleaning ritual that involves alcohol, peroxide and dish detergent.

@cinta I wish I would've been at ATP when you said that. I would love a Hindu Rope. I had a beautiful one years ago. I was in the process of moving and a friend offered to keep it for me. When I saw it again, I almost bawled. It didn't recover.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question. I have a propeller plant that will need to be brought inside within the next couple weeks. What is your recipe for preventing bugs? Would you mind sharing?
