Well, several Hoyas are already responding to the longer days with new growth, inlcluding...
H. mindorensis has a nice little new vine with baby leaves. It's in the sunroom in front of the east windows.
H. crassicaulis - I have two of them, one in my bedroom and one in the sunroom, again in front of the east window. It has at least two new growth points, one is right down by the soil line!
H. wayetti is above my sink in the kitchen, in the north window. I see an itty-bitty new leaf popping! This is the one I'm growing in hydroton.

H. parviflora, one of the slowest growers I've EVER had, has what appears to be a new leaf. It has that rubbery feel and it's darker than the others - I can't be 100% positive, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this may be the year it gets a real growth spurt!
