    Love ur collection. My prolific bloomer is my kri kle 8. But I got a real surprise when a new (acquired almost a yr ago) baby looks like a long trailing obVato bloomed. I had just taken a cutting, and I really don't like to do that to mine. But the cutting is doing well.

    TIP: To help arrange fiddly plants (lots of vines, for example, or plants with long, floppy stems) I use rubber bands (or string and tape) to divide the top of the container in quarters or ninths, depending on the size of the pot and roots, and place the plants and substrate through those quadrants. Once I'm happy with how everything's positioned, I remove the rubber bands/strings.

    Lacunosa is such a prolific bloomer! It's one of only three I have that have bloomed, and it's almost constant in spring and summer. I have no idea where people got that it smells like cinnamon. It reminds me of lilies, but not so overpowering. My other bloomers are shepherdii and heuschkeliana. The shepherdii was very lightly scented, if at all, and the heuschkeliana smelled very sweet, like some kind of dessert or vanilla frosting.

    I just water by the soil. My environment. I would say is around 26 Degrees. If the soil is dried you dont find it helpful to water it at that point? I feel like if it is left then the leaves will dry out.

    My Hoya is huge, about a foot tall and in a circular form about 8 inches through. Much to my regret it has never bloomed in 3 years that I have been growing it. I do no know the variety but it could not be more beautiful with thick leaves and new growth all the time. It is close to my favorite plant only being in competition with my huge Clivia lily that has bloomed non stop for the past year with is not typical with this lily. My Hoya has only to bloom to make me extremely happy. I have an east facing sun porch that is home to 12 very large plants that I call GODS Garden. They are all beautiful in their own right.
