I received a small cutting of this hoya in 2007 and immediately placed it in a terrarium to root. It rooted and grew and did real well in the terrarium then I read that this particular hoya does not like high humidity so I removed it from the terrarium and planted it in it's own container where it immediately faltered and died. I should have left it in the terrarium!
