Personally, I would repot them in a larger pots to give them more "breathing room" (among other positive factors that can come with repotting) not to mention I'm not sure that by keeping them in the same pots, you will be able to replenish the soil as well as you would by putting them in new pots. I'm not sure about trimming back the stems, I've never owned a hoya or an epi (although I drool at the sight of both in bloom) so I can't really provide any advice on that regard.

I have not hung any baskets yet in my HFGH, but in a recent thread Funnylady mentioned these black plastic clips, 20 for $9.95, from ACF Greenhouses. They are designed to hold up bubble wrap as well as hanging baskets, and they apparently just clip in the wall and roof stud tracks. Black plastic bubble wrap clips She uses them to hang lots of orchids in her HFGH (she put two 10x12s together.) There's a good picture of her hanging orchids about 2/3 of the way down this thread: Two 10x12 HFGHs Joined Together I grow cacti and succulents and those hanging plants can get huge and weigh a ton (heavy sandy soil too) and I'm still debating about how much weight I should hang from my HFGH roof. I may try to build some kind of separate rack out of pipe, and attach it to my benches instead, for bigger plants. I intend to order some of the clips to play around with though, they look like they would be handy, and seem to work well for hanging baskets.

I received one small cutting of E. oxypetalum in 1997, and made the mistake of starting it off in a plastic container. It can be a fast-grower in ideal conditions, and mine is now over 5 feet high after numerous prunings. (Of course, those cuttings were rooted in the same and other pots so I would have move of it). Because they become top heavy and easily blow over in the wind outdoors in filtered sun, all of my Epiphyllums are now in a 14" clay containers for their weight. Clay pots are pourous, so I have to water more often - but that is no problem. Plastic pots retain moisture longer, but they are too light-weight if you want your Epi to grow large. I use 4-5 plastic stakes in the inside rim of the pot to attach green string around them to keep the stems fairly upright. Another alternative is to pot the Epi in a plastic pot for moisture retention, then set it in a larger clay pot so the plant is stable. John_Z

Depends. It may take as long as 9 months for those lemons to ripen.
