Hi and thank you all for your advice. I do not know where to go to download a photo of the Hoya plant onto the site, can someone tell me were I can find that. I am sorry about calling it a Hawaiian wax plant as that was what was on the card the lady gave me when I bought the start. She wouldn't even tell me how to get other starts but I finally found out it is as easy as just sticking the clipping in dirt... wow they grow beautifully. My plant never had a fragrance but as I said the one in the jar she showed me sure did, oh it was wonderful so I am a bit disappointed but the flower is so pretty that makes it all worth while. So easy to take care of too. I see several plants that are probably the one I have when I look through the photos but if I find out how to download it I will put it on the website. Thank you all again, just wanted to make sure that I had it planted right and it didn't need something special. Auburn2000

Unless you have met the rigorous requirements for import permits into Hawaii, it is illegal to import plant material into Hawaii. For good reason. Besides which, you can easily obtain C. renda in 1-gal. pots for around $5 - 10 on island. As for potting up your seedlings, you could very carefully move them to a community pot with fast-draining soil to be set outdoors in a shady area. Do not allow the soil to dry out, or the seedlings will die. Be sure the temperature is maintained above 50F. It's a tricky stage because while they must be kept moist, they will also be subject to fungus.

Generally speaking, you can add 1 ounce of oil to 1 pound of wax. You can weigh out the oil, or just keep it simple and add 2 tablespoons.

Both, perfumes and synthetic fragrance oils contain chemicals. The real reason that you wouldn't want to use a perfume would be the alcohol content. Fragrance oils use the "oil" to carry the fragrance molecules, while perfume uses alcohol. So they cannot be interchanged in candle making. Why Bakery Candles Make Scents is an article that explains a bit about how scent works. Although it mentions bakery candles, the information applies to other fragrance oil classifications also.
