Peduncles on Hoya serpens does not mean all that much. They can be covered in them for years and not bloom. I believe that these plants need ever increasing day length in order to trigger the budding and flowering process. Also, they would prefer to not be too warm.

How did you get it from getting warm in the summer? Just wondering...How warm can it be?

It is one of the greatest Hoya flowers, but the plant is so difficult for me to grow now, that I've almost given up on it.

Wow 10 years ago!!!! I still haven’t manage to bloom my. They seem a bit fussy compare to Mathilde. On a good note, I mange to bloom Polyneura . They just open yesterday. I am ecstatic hehehe. Hoya prices are now so good in Australia except illegal imports which I stay way away hehehe . Your fools production makes me laugh . It is pretty cool😂😂😂😂

I sure can't grow serpens the way I did 10 years ago. There was something special about the conditions in that house and I've never been able to duplicate it. I did manage just barely to flower serpens this year for the first time in many years. It is just a very fussy plant! Congratulations on flowering your polyneura!!👍👍

How's the Hoya trading (import) like in Australia right now? I heard that the Hoya community is a bit restricted there when it comes to plant trade.

@@andy0995 Honestly, I am unsure that anyone in Australia is still exporting Hoya, and as far as importing them, because of the strict rules, I would think it is very minimal. The biggest players in the exporting trade now are Thailand and Indonesia.

Sorry, but this is a Hoya that falls into the category of a Hoya that I could grow well at one time, but can barely keep alive any longer. It is on continual life support so there are no cuttings of this one to sell.
