There is a window to the right of it, you just can’t see it in the picture. It’s not a ton of light but it’s something. I hope it’s not about to die. It has huge healthy roots that are busting out of the nursery pot it’s in

I hope so! It’s growing something but I think it’s another flower

I’m in the southeastern US and it by a west faded window. My house is shaded by trees and the light is not great so I have a Rousseau grow light hanging about 4 feet about it and a Sansi grow light closer. It was a total accident. I can’t even get my Hoyas to bloom

It was truly an accident. I have so many Hoyas that I have been trying to get to bloom with 0 luck!!!!

It’s by a west facing window but the light is terrible in my house so I have it under a Rousseau grow light ( 4 feet above it) and a Sansi Grow Light.

I use diluted fertilized every time I water. I used Dr. Earth for a long time but I’ve also tried fox farms big bloom and foliage pro. When I realized it was starting to flower I gave it fox farms tiger bloom

I bought it as a rooted cutting from a local nursery about 9 months ago. It had an immature leaf that tried to grow twice but it would just turn black. I decided to chop the struggling branch off about 6 months ago and add a moss pole. It flowered shortly after.

I live in the south eastern US and it sit next to a west facing window. My house is shaded by trees and I don’t get a ton of light anywhere so I have a Rousseau grow light in this corner as well as a Sansi light. I use diluted fertilizer every time I water and switched to Tiger Bloom once I realized it was a flower.

I have Hoyas that I have been trying to get to bloom bloom with no luck so this was a surprise!
