Mine is in a pot hanging in a brass hoop, and the hoya is trained around
the hoop.  I have it hanging next to a west-facing window, but I think my
problems are that it isn't getting quite enough light there, and I always
forget to feed it.  My husband hung the plant way too high so I have to
get a chair any time I want to do anything with the plant, and being the
slightly lazy person that I am that's just too much trouble sometimes. :-)
Maybe I'll just have hubby lower the bracket on the wall, since I really
want to get it blooming.  How much sun can a hoya take?  I'd like to hang
it directly in front of the window if possible.
