Steven, Everything I've read/heard indicates they are easy to grow. They are hard to train, due to their very woody vines. Some say they can tolerate as much light as you can give them, others say the leaves wash out when too much light is given. Mine is in a west facing window with all my ther sun-loving hoyas. I got mine as an unrooted cutting in April. It has already gotten 5 new leaves since, and there are five more emerging. The leaves are slow to come, I think due to their thick, fleshy character. They like to grow dry. Can't give any info on flowering, as mine is just a cutting. Hope this helps, Maid~

Thanks for info. Good quality patchwork fabrics are expensive here - the average at my LQS is AU$25 per metre (a metre is 39 inches) - this is around US$20. So thanks to this site, I have been getting fabric from thousands of bolts. Their prices are around US$3.95 a yard and it only takes about a week to get here. So even paying US$10.95 postage, I am still able to get the equivalent amount of fabric from the US for about half of what I would be paying here. Which really makes me a happy quilter!!!

My Realtor won't do it and the large firm she works for has a policy against it, although these listings show up on their site because of the MLS. She says it's unfair because it bumps Legitimate price reductions down the list. The same with taking the property off for a day or two and relisting it as a "New Listing" continually. It bumps legitimate New Listings down the list. Her firm will not list something as "New" unless there was a certain minimum period where the house was off the market. Some people track by New Properties and watch the Reductions and that's why it's unfair to the legitimate ones on the list. I had an offer (which expired) on a house that did both of these things for over a year.(after my offer was rejected or expired) It was really annoying to see it keep showing up in my searches right at the top. Not because I was annoyed because I didn't get the house, but because I thought it was a "cheap" practice.
