I have been saying for months that I was going to downsize my collection. At the height of my collecting, I had over 300 Hoyas contained within 3 grow tents. It was a thrill to be receiving multiple packages a week each with a new Hoya to add to my collection. There really are so many interesting ones to buy. However, it became harder to enjoy my plants because I was always trying to keep up with the maintenance. Being able to properly attend to my plants and enjoy them is really important to me in this hobby. I finally have been able to keep the ones I love and sell the ones that I can live without. Currently, I have about 45 Hoya's in my collection give or take a few. It feels so great! I think the lesson I learned is to not get caught up in having to have the latest/greatest and nurturing what I have. I've even been able to take out a few shelves so now my plants have more room to grow! I'm really enjoying having bigger more mature plants. Sometimes I still get the urge to cut them back but I talk myself out of it. Don't forget to enjoy the hobby and your plants.
