So I moved my hoyas outside in May, where they've been lounging around, putting on new growth, and lots of them have developed bloom spurs---including h. lobbii, h. bella, h. serpens, h. "minibelle", h. carnosa, and h. "mathilde"---BUT, then the spurs just sit there, in some cases for months, and never show the least sign of actually putting out buds or flowers..grrrr...I'm thinking I may need to change something I'm doing (or not doing)...the plants are on my east facing deck, under a walnut tree, where they get 5-6 hours of dappled sun/shade a day...no one gets prolonged direct sun, so maybe that's an issue...also, it's been very rainy here this summer, so I think any fertilizer I give is probably washed out of the pots fairly quickly...OR, I could just need to develop some patience...ha!...what do you guys think? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated...thanks...

Shelley
