How I did it: I was almost bullied into purchasing a plant for charity a year ago last week.  Hark! The serendipity of it! Turns out Hoya hybrids are a kind of cactus which means she only needs to be watered quarterly and prefers full sun.  I find it hard to provide her with full sun in the tundra here, but alas, we both muddle through ok with the help of indoor tanning. 

Lessons & tips: I told Jeff that it was hard for me to have just the one plant.  She requires so little compared to what I am eager to offer her.  Jeff said "That's the way it is with one plant.  if you get a bunch more they'll stop feeling like pets and start to feel more like a part of your environment."  Wise guy, ay bub?

Resources: I waited almost half a year to repot her.  The pot was a splurge from a junk shop.
