Hoya davidcummingii can be grown in a hanging basket or supported on a trellis. I prefer to have it hanging. Some say this hoya is not the easiest to grow, but so far I have had no problems with it. It tolerates some drought and likes a lot of light. I have my plant hanging in a window facing south without no shading and it thrives there.
