What type of lighting does it get? Honestly my Hoyas that have bloomed have basically only formed peduncles from being put outside in the summer. Also do you feed it?

### Cherrybergher commented on 2024-01-03

Looks really healthy. My guess would be the pot is too big as I am guessing it is getting lots of light in that window. Also examine the fertilizer you are using for it.

How old is your Hoya? Hoyas need to be fully mature before they will bloom. This is anywhere from 5-7 years and sometimes longer.

I think the fully mature is a myth. I have had many Hoya bloom within months after rooting a fresh cuttung. I not sure though what the combination is that sparks them to bloom. Could be tight pot, sun. Humidity and fertilizer but each Hoya would be different.

this is a beautiful plant! what direction does the window face? and roughly where are you located? wondering if it’s not getting enough sun despite being in such a large window. i agree with cherry about the pot possibly being too large, and definitely check on the fertilizer you’re using. plants need plenty of phosphorus to create and sustain blooms. i add bone meal to my blooming plants but there are many other phosphorus-rich fertilizers
