After trying everything from windowsill growing, to tent growing, to greenhouse growing, with different fertilizers, and light regimens all to no avail, Hoya anncajanoae was added to my Hoya Hall of Shame. Finally after throwing it into the bottom of an upstairs grow tent as an after thought in the fall of 2020, I was blown away with a peduncle forming in December of that year. The buds steadily grew and were many times larger than on aff. burtoniae.
