Quinn,

It's a beautiful plant by any name! I just moved my wayetti to a shadier position because it seems to dry out too fast when against the east window glass. Here's a photo of the flowers...

It's a sweet little flower!

I always use the photo in the link to help tell these species apart.

I find that my Hoya wayetii does best when kept moist and if I let it get too dry it does not seem to grow at all. Even though my plant has several peduncles it does not flower often for me. Denise do you find this plant to be a fairly frequent bloomer for you?

My wayetti goes dry all the time, due to the spot it is in. It's a tradeoff; in order to get the best light it can, it is slightly inaccessible and doesn't get watered as much as some of the others. But it grows like crazy and is quickly taking over that space. I've already found a few more peduncles forming. It is right up against the glass in a south window, but there is a sheer mesh curtain between it and the glass.

I had mine in an east window (had moved it from a shadier spot because it hadn't bloomed for some time...) But I found it was drying out too fast and moved it back from the window. I don't like how the leaves "fold in" when it gets too dry. It bloomed for me very good the first year I had it, but it's been a stingy bloomer since. One here and there. But I loved the long-leaved species, so it's worth keeping either way.

Oh good I am not the only one who rarely sees this plant bloom. I did notice a new peduncle forming and the old ones look like they are coming back to life so hopefully I will be able to post some photos.
