Howdy folks! We’ve had this Hoya for about a year and we’ve seen little growth and definitely no blooms, any trick to getting her to grow quicker?

Sometimes a good prune can encourage growth. Then replant those trimmed pieces.

The answer is almost always more light with Hoya. My mathilde is right in my window and I would consider it a fast grower. Mine gets very bright indirect light all day and only one hour of direct sun in the window it is in. Increased light and warmer temperatures seem to trigger Hoyas to bloom.

Look up "Hoya flat mites" on the internet, it's really really common. I treated some of my Hoya that looked ok but not growing (I used the sulphur method) and they started growing again.
