I have been growing tropicals for over 30 years. I love anything in the Apocynaceae (or whatever respective members are currently called) family. Hoyas are new to me. The reason is that the heavily scented flowers of the most common species/cultivars give me a headache. Literally. Too sweet. To heavy. Ouch!
I can spend hours in an overheated greenhouse with rather smelly Stapeliads or Aroids and don't mind it too much. Don't get me wrong: I don't enjoy that either but at least it is not giving me a headache.
Now here's my question: Is there a small growing Hoya that is NOT too heavily scented and not too fussy?
Let me clarify: I don't consider "LFS" or "high humidity" or "terrarium" or "likes Dolomite" or anything like that fussy - I just need to know if it needs to be pampered all the time. If it has to be, I don't want it. LOL
