Its hanging in a east window,, inside I have never taken it out side,, I thought about it this last spring,, But just never took it out,, I have recently purchased a twisted hoya,, variegated, Sometime it takes years to get blooms while other plants seem to bloom right away,, Can't figure that one out,, But when they bloom it;s sooooooo neat to see,, and you never want to cut off the bloom or disturb the spur from which it bloomed because that is where it will bloom from over and over again,,.

Diane that is beautiful. I always prefer varigated plants. I think the dual color makes each plant so much more interesting.
