I do protect this plant from the freezes that come our way. It's more particular about moisture and feeding than my other hoya. I have it in terra cotta and I think it dries out too fast. If anyone has experience in this plant please add more info. I'd give it a positive because it's so beautiful when it's happy but I've lost 2 plants to I don't know what.
