Thanks for a refreshing article. I just got my first hoya - a variegated one. I don't care if it ever blooms - the leaves are just so beautiful - green, cream, and violet...I never get tired of looking at it. It doesn't seem to be too demanding, either. It is just sitting in the greenhouse looking drop-dead gorgeous.
I'm not sure what to do when summer comes - does it need protection from the sun? Does protection mean hang it in the fig tree where it will get sun/shade, or put it in the bathroom where it will get no sun? Or UNDER the fig tree, where there is just shade?
Sounds like you have one of the H. carnosa's "krimson queen" maybe...if so it will need protection from the sun. I keep mine in a North window. Here is a pic. of mine, no pink showing I get it mainly on new leaves.
