This plant grows easily in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Hoyas like to be as close to sun as possible without being in the sun. They like to be pot bound to bloom. There is a Hoya pubicalyx growing in a tree at Flamingo Gardens in Ft. Lauderdale at least 10-15 feet long. And they have small plants for sale.
