The year following the death of my second Hoya wallichii plant, I got a chance at another one in a trade with my Hoya friend Jimmy from North Carolina.  I was determined that this was going to be my last attempt with this plant. Careful as I was with it, growing the tiny little Hoya in a 2 inch net pot, it still lost most of its leaves, and after 8 months was down two rather chlorotic leaves. I was sure that this one was a goner as well.
