You will be okay with your current setup. Hoya lacunosa is very easy to bloom. 6-12" above the plant is ideal, but I've had bulbs just a few inches above my lacunosas before, so really as long as you give them adequate clearance so they don't reach up into the bulb with their new vines, you'll be fine. They are a lot more light-intensity-tolerant than they look. I moved mine over to my western balcony doors and they love it there. As for variety of lacunosa⦠now you are speaking to a topic close to my heart! If you get them from a BBS or a nursery you are going to get one of the following: (plain) lacunosa, lacunosa 'Snow Caps', lacunosa 'Ruby Sue', lacunosa 'Royal Flush.' Of those, 'Snow Caps' is my favorite, but it's really a matter of preference - they are all attractive. Are those my favorite lacunosas, though? Nuuuuuuuu not even close. I really like the clones with teeeeeeeeny tiny leaves. They look so delicate in a window, like an ornate paper cutting. SRQ Hoyas has a good variety and two of my favorites are: Hoya lacunosa 'Langkawi Island' Cutting (SRQ 3077) Hoya lacunosa 'Thai Clone' Cutting (SRQ 3047) Hoya lacunosa 'Tove' Cutting (SRQ 3026) is very attractive if you like large leaves and flowers (for lacunosa). Now, this is a more impractical suggestion, but since you brought it up, Epiphytica has some wicked cool lacunosas. (longest leaves) (smallest leaves) And then floating around from the Liddle collection there is also the very pretty Hoya lacunosa Poonsak (IML 1648)

I have several Hoyas. A coupl new starts I purchased a month ago and a larger plant I have had several years that I started from rooted cuttings off my sisters plant. I live in noth Indiana so I have to be very careful about putting them outside. My older plant has grown slowly and I repotted it recently because it was on a very small pot. We got a cat which would not stay out of the window I was using and was stressing me and my plants out! Since I only have the one window I can use and the cat adopted it I decided to try LED grow lights which offer red blue yellow and full spectrum light along with a timer a dimmer and a choice of what spectrum you want. All the hoya which include a rope hoya, a tri color krimson queen and the regular one that I had which is hoya carnosa with the white and pink center star flowers have all started growing sensing out vines and leaves. I noticed the leaves are growing bigger and faster so it must work ok!😁 I recently repotted a verigated strand of pearls and added it to my little light party. I’m hoping it does well also!

I would like to get a high amount of light to my indoor hoya plant for blooms. There is so much information on lights out there and I just want to know what would work.

I only need to look at my sigillatis and sp. SR-2010-049 (grown in exclusively high light and neither are cultivars or sports) to make an educated assumption, that at least, for non-hybrids/non-sport cuttings, that light has little to no role in the amount of splashing. Even in my caudatas, some of which I strongly suspect are either sports or cultivars, I see no difference in splashing. And some of those were grown in my lesser-light (natural, south facing, frosted window) bathroom, for quite a period of time. I still think it all has to do with whether or not the sport/cultivar is stable. I know cv. Michelle regularly puts out highly splashed leaves, regardless of light, for me, but for another grower, not so much.
