    Hello, just sighned up and am hoping for help with my Grannys 20 old Hoya.I am not sure of the viariety.It has curly thick leaves ,grows as multy vines and has small white/pink flowers.

    I have just moved it from her house to mine and have put it by the sliding glass door.It has some yellowing leaves but for the most part very healthy.

    Any tips or ideas on how to keep it healthy ?

    Granny's Hoya needs bright light but not direct sunlight. Excessive sunlight makes them yellow. If too dark it may not flower. Water should not be over done. I have found that if you treat them tough they flower more. I feed a natural fertilizer once a year ( I use bone meal? blood and bone and sometimes one of the seaweed products) . Given that you are in Canada you probably need to keep it as an indoor plant but some one from there will know if it is safe to let it out when cold is gone. Mine lives in the corner of my verandah all year round.
