Ok, well since you didn't get response I'll give it a go :) I didn't see your pic in the container gardening gallery, but I know what a krinkle looks like. I don't have one, but I'm assuming it's similar to hoya compacta (looks like a mix b/w compacta and carnosa). Anyway, you should feed from March to September (not just in the Summer), probably once a month. A bunch of us here use Eleanor's VF-11 which is a very harmless fertilizer that you can actually use with every watering, year round. But if you're using a regular fertilizer like MiracleGro or something (I guess C+S fertilizer is fine, but I would probably stick to houseplant fertilizer), then stick to the schedule above. The beer mixture (which you can find if you do a search for it on this forum) is also great and easy to make (thanks again Fred!). Hopefully you have the plant in a well-draining soil mix (not regular potting soil). Hoyas like to be potbound, and this encourages growth and blooms. So you should have it in a relatively small pot. Most of mine are in 4-6 inch containers (4 inch for the regular sized plants and 6 inch for the large adult plants). As for where it blooms, I don't think there's a specific spot. Just examine it every now and then to look for peduncles (that's what the blooms will come out of), and they can be anywhere on the plant. Most hoyas take a LONG time to bloom, so I've learned to be patient! But again, keeping the hoya potbound can encourage blooms. As for propogating, I don't think these will propagate from leaf cuttings. You'll need a stem cutting. So cut off a nice sized piece of a stem (maybe with 4 or more leaves), and you probaby have to remove a set of leaves so that the nodes are in the water. It shouldn't take much time before the roots develop, and once they do just remove the stem from the water and plant it. Some people also like to propagate by putting the stem in soil, but I find it easier to root in water. Good luck, Gabi

Try searching for varigated compacta's or var. Hindu rope or just var. rope Hoyas! They are all the same plant, I believe, as Regalis. Good luck Diane

Hello everyone. I just bought a small (~3-4") hindu rope the other day and am looking for some tips on how to eventually get a long, full plant with multiple vines. Right now, it's got one little vine, and I was wondering if it will eventually grow more vines on its own or will I have to take cuttings and plant them in the same pot? If so, how much should I let it grow before I start taking cuttings? One other thing I've been wondering about is lighting. I only have south-facing windows in my apartment so I worry about the light being too intense. Is it ok to put the plant in the window sill or should I place it further away? I want to make sure it's getting enough light to grow but I don't want to burn it either. Any help is appreciated! Here's a photo of the plant with my hand for scale:

Hi! my first post here! :) I have spotted these under the leaves of my newly bought plant. I feel they are spreading. Any one knows what they are and how I can treat them?
