# My Hoya Elliptica was inside within 8 inches from a strong grow light…

_Posted by Sunny on 2024-06-10_

My Hoya Elliptica was inside within 8 inches from a strong grow light getting 12 hours of light each day since it arrived in March. It kept putting out a long vine and dropped most of the new leaves. So, I put it outside to get direct morning sunlight, higher temps and higher humidity. I was just hoping it would put out leaves on the bare part of the vine. I checked it this morning for snails and caterpillars and found it put out a peduncle with flower buds! Found the tiny second peduncle at the back. 😍
