    2 years ago I purchased , over the internet, Hoya australis and Hoya lacunosa. They arrived as small plants and in 2 years have not grown. I have tried repotting and placing them in different light situations but they are refusing to do anything. Are these just slow growing varieties or did I receive "bad" specimens. Does anyone have experience with these two varieties?

    I would not repot it again .. and water when dry ..ut not tottaly dry .. they are a type of succulant .. i have mine sitting in 2 different windows .. one is sitting in a first thing morning sun window and it loves it .. nothing covering the window either . that sun will hit that window for a few hours and then another sits in my early afternoon kitchen window and that is a hindu rope plant and loves it there .. when it was small enough to sit on the shelf .. but i hung it in the same window and it isnt as close to the window and not growing as much ..
    make sure yours are sitting closer to the window .. early morning sun is about the best for it .. i find almost any plant loves that early morning sun ..

    hope this helps ..
