    I received this Hoya from Gardino's Nursery where I've received various other Hoyas I own. All Hoyas I've purchased from them are always healthy on arrival and have great root systems. This particular Hoya, though healthy, is a slow grower for me. I have had other species of Hoyas for a lot less amount of time that were the same size on arrival that are already 2x the size of this one. I have all my indoor Hoyas under LED grow lights and I make sure the humidity doesn't drop below 60%. Perhaps this is just a slow grower, or I need to adjust its environment. I will do some research on its native climate to see if I can figure it out.
