Hoya alagensis not only started to grow well, but soon was growing almost too quickly to keep it in check. It could easily grow 4-6 inches a day, and it began to put on peduncles until I had more than a dozen on the plant, but it never would bud up. I would check it every day and there was never any sign until recently I discovered a set of giant buds nearly ready to open that were hiding in plain site at the soil line.
