Hoyas like to wait. People say they like to be root bound, I think they just like to be unbothered for a long time. I said the same thing a year ago and now I have three that bloom regularly. My lacunosa has bloomed a week a month for the past 4 months.
Very nice! I got an ilagiorum cutting two weeks ago, but it will be a while before it blooms, I guess :)
Lucky duck. I had two hoya blooms starting this year... and both fell off before they bloomed. They appear to be super fragile, ceiling fan blew one of them off, the other got knocked off when I was spraying it for fungus gnats.
The first blooms on a peduncle frequently blast. I had that happen on my carnosa, one little flower made it...
Yup. Both of mine were on my carnosa. Maybe later this year (once the fans are off).
I think they're less sensitive after that first round. Good luck!
