Hoya calycina ‘Stargazer’ needs warmth to bloom.  All winter long my plant blasted its buds, because it was simply too chilly for it.  After my new kitten knocked over a couple of plants in the room in which the plant lived, I closed the door to the room 24/7.  By keeping the door closed, the room became much warmer every time the central heating kicked in.  So, in fact I think that our new kitten, Mawson (named after the famous Antarctic explorer) was responsible for these buds! Pictured Below are Mawson and Hoya calycina ‘Stargazer’
