| Another great article, Lee Anne. I especially appreciated the details on the light exposure your pictured house plants get. I have several less-than-ideal north facing windows that could use a plant to perk them up! |

| Somehow, Lee Anne, I worry that my neglect is deeper than yours. . . but there's always next fall, after their summer parole is over and they're back in jail again and beg me for some cell-mates, I mean new plants. xx, Carrie |

| Lee Anne, does your hoya bloom? I had some when I was a kid, and I was so excited to see it bloom. |

| It does bloom!! I can smell it through the whole house when it does. Didn't bloom this year though, the cats knocked a bunch of peduncles off while chasing snow flakes through the window this winter. |

| Do you have any other Hoyas? I've found the 'Shooting Star' and the one with the really small leaves and cinnamon-y scent to be very easy and almost constantly in bloom (okay, no comments about the names, I haven't had a chance to research them yet!). |

| Lee Anne, it is such a different world where I live. The plants you mentioned above as houseplants stay outside on the front porch year around. I do put poly during the colder months but the plants are actually happier outside than inside my house.
I love your articles and it is fun to see what grows where geographically...I do grow episcias though in the house and love them. |

| My plants are almost always happier outside, it's just that they wouldn't survive much of the year there! x, Carrie |

| I have the beautiful variegated Hoya and it's really getting long tendrils now. Would I need to fertilize it to make it bloom? It's in a large pot and I never done it through the 4 yrs. I've had it. Thanks! |
