Some Hoyas are slow-growing, but I think H. carnosa grows like a weed (at least for me).

Mine seems to grow in fits and spurts. Grows rapidly for a time then pauses to catch its breath then shoots out again.
Mine is currently blooming around the trellis I wrapped it around earlier this Spring. I love it when they decide to bloom in "strategic places"
Those blooms are fab! I have a rooted cutting coming, I hope I live long enough to see it flower! Judi
Gosh, that's just stunning!
I used to have one of those aaaaages ago but it never bloomed, I had no idea they have such pretty flowers until I saw them on here.
Good growing, everyone
Beautiful shots, Pavel and Clint. Hoyas are wonderful; I saw a guide get a tourist to taste the nectar of one at MSBG. She was astonished at how sweet it was!
Mine is in bloom too , it was in the greenhouse almost took over the roof area . Also have the one Diane mentioned the rope hoya I looked for a picture I took of the bloom, didn't find it . Thanks for sharing yours .. Gin
