# Last fall, this guy took a turn for the worst, had every pest…

Last fall, this guy took a turn for the worst, had every pest imaginable, and was sooo leggy. I changed his location up at the beginning of this year, and he has been living his best life! Advice that’s helped me: if your plant continues to act unhappy and attract pests, it may not be happy in its setting. Change it up! 👏🏼 (Also, he’s been in the same pot for two years 🫣)

Everything under the sun, it seemed like. lol. I had decent luck with systemic granules and insecticidal soap.

Excellent advice!  
I only got one blooming hoya last year that blasted its blooms before I realized I had a peduncle on one hoya. This year I moved several of them outside into full morning sun and very very bright shade the rest of the day. I had nothing to lose. I have 9 blooming hoyas, now! The only thing changed is the location and the fact they were hit by three severe thunderstorms in three weeks. I feel like a lottery winner! No plants were harmed.
