Hi ya DogsNDaylilies
I just recently ordered a few from SRQ and I almost got that one just for the butterscotch Hilarious! but I didn't--got some other ones instead

I am no hoya aficionado--I really only have one very expansive hoya carnosa and its progeny, to speak of (besides the new ones I just got).
But, I do live in the north and I can tell you that I do not move madame carnosa in and out because she is just too big, and I don't move the smaller ones either because they are all entwined where they are.
Anyway, I can recommend that one for a beginner Smiling It's got a wonderful fragrance, at night and into the early morning. It does not need 'direct sun' to bloom but it does need bright light.
As far as the mess--ha, all my plants make a mess, and so do my animals, and so do I Rolling on the floor laughing really, my life is like perpetual camping so all I can say is my hoyas make a little more of a mess than some of my other plants, and a whole lot less of a mess than the critters.

Go for it, try one or a few!
