Pretty plant

#### Dani replied on 2026-03-03

Thank you

I’m wondering as well. On year three with a smaller one than yours as well as numerous other Hoyas with no blooms. I’m hoping this is the year for some of them!

#### Dani replied on 2026-03-04

I have 2 others that are small, 1 brand new, 1 that’s 2-3 ish years old, so I have no expectations there, but I’m like what gives 😂

Does it need to be repotted. Very carefully, of course. Do you have a friend that would hold to branches to keep them from flopping around when you repot ?

#### Dani replied on 2026-03-04

I don’t know. Google said they like being root bound and no extra space but I’m always afraid to disturb it.

#### Lisa Anglim replied on 2026-03-07

There’s rootbound and then there’s ROOT BOUND!! Which is it. They can’t stay in a pot forever

It took my obovata three years to bloom its first bloom, last year. This year on year four it sent out a second bloom on the same branches.
