Until very recently, all of my big plants have hung out of the pots...trying to climb into everyone elses' pots/hangers etc. A few days ago I started putting the big ones in wide shallow planters and attaching upsidedown tomato cages to the pot and then a hanger on the narrow end. The smaller ones I have rigged bamboo hoops for them to climb on as well as the hanger wires. Well, those that have been on the new system have shot out, thrown on peduncles like mad and are threatening to bloom!!!

Has anyone else noticed this? Seems like given what they WANT to do makes them very happy... Perhaps that's why the Swedish hobbyists have such great luck blooming them because they generally grow them on great hoops and structures. Hoyas like H. cembra, H. cumingiana and such I have just left to hang...they seem happy that way...

Now I am going to do all of them...any body notice any special needs of hoyas in their pots?
