Q: I bought a hoya last year for my home office. I was looking forward to the fragrant flowers, but sadly, none have appeared. It seems healthy, so what am I doing wrong?
A: A lack of flowers on your hoya, although disappointing, can simply be down to age. Houseplant expert Kiersten Rankel says, 'Most hoyas need to be mature (three to five years old) before they'll even think about blooming. If your plant is still a youngster, patience is key.'
